1. Collateral damage...
Dario Ciochetti ,   Los Cabos, Mexico   (06.08.10)
because Israel kills innocent paletinians and activists.
2. jews get outta spain!
eye   (06.08.10)
these people hate us christ-killers. no future there! come to israel!
3. Who is violent?
tiredofbull ,   brooklyn, ny   (06.08.10)
It appears that the Palestinian "Activists" are as violent and destructive as the terrorists they choose to protect. Where are the activists when the rockets land in israel, when the palestinians are burning trees they share with Israelis, and destroying fertile land they were given in efforts of peace? Israel allows free press and media, and the world condemns their right to defend, however, where is the world condemnation for the Turkish treatment of Kurds, or the backwards treatment of women in most Arab countries, or the violent and destructive culture of teaching hatred to children in those countries? The world should be thankful the Jews have been so peaceful so far. Leaving the full information out of what truly happened on the flotilla in the media is not impressive either.
4. Looks like Spain is giving Turkey a run for the money!!!
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.08.10)
And I so wanted to one day visit the Costa De Sol... I wear a kipa WHEREVER I go. Today, I would be afraid to wear my kipa in public in Spain. So I will NOT go.
5. Palestinian aggression in Spain
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.08.10)
When will Palestinians learn that violence is not the answer?
6. An israeli suffers the consequences of israeli crimes abroad
Ivan ,   Haifa   (06.08.10)
In spain, Reuven, an israeli citizen who came for tourism was condemned to 11 years in jail (in alicante) paying for israel´s image and israel´s crimes. Now every israeli will pay the price of the occupation, if the police wanted to caught the agressors they could but they didn´t, that´s because israeli tourists don´t worry them,the oppossite. Israel must change it´s policy because became the first cause of antisemitism in the world.
7. The sad consequence of voting extremists into governement...
Swiss-Dino ,   Switzerland   (06.08.10)
The Palestinians in Gaza have paid the price over the past 4 years for making the "wrong" choice at the ballot box, and now it's Israels turn. Sad, but somehow absolutely logical.....
8. World Hypocracy
MARK ,   South Africa   (06.08.10)
This incident & many others aimed at the Israeli citizen, is simply called "COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT" & is an absolute disgrace.
9. those who protest in favor of an angry mob, don't need much
(06.08.10)
to become ones themselves. as seen on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABjE_7uwA0I&feature=player_embedded
10. "Get out of Gaza"
Yossi ,   Ashqelon   (06.08.10)
Yes that's already done ! Did you already forget August 2005??
11. they were spaniards not arabs
manuel ,   miami,fl   (06.08.10)
I am a Spanish Jew, and from the pictures they were Spaniards and not arabs. They hate us, and it's part of their DNA. Believe me I was born among them, no matter what you think about Israel right to self defense, this is pure antisemitism
12. Spain hasnt changed
Dennis Greenstein ,   NJ USA   (06.08.10)
Just came back from 2 weeks in Spain. As a Jew, and an Israeli, I felt somewhat uncomfortable. Not because of demonstrations, but it hit me that these jerks succeeded more than Hitler: they were able to make their pais Judenrein! By expulsin and by killing. They are not repentant one iota. No vestigaes of jewish life were seen at all. Somewhat chilling. So many churches had the story line of once having been a synagogue, then a mosque, and now a church. Their current wave of anti-semitism and antiIsrael ensures them that my visit will be my last one there, and I will spread the gospel as wide as I can. I feel more comfortable in germany!
13. Palestinians get attacked....
Eldad ,   New York   (06.08.10)
...Israel is blamed. Israelis are attacked and Israel is blamed. The posters here are pathetic. Their hatred is rampant. Their ignorance of history is an embarrassement
14. #10 done? Except for coriander and chocolates eh?
Nour ,   One State   (06.08.10)
Or perhaps paper and textbooks for children? Sharon in 2005 "we must put the Palestinians on a diet" For your society, we are dogs. This is why peace is elusive. The pillars of peace is justice equality and respect. Something that your elders in Zionism has rejected. It is an inherently racist policy, and time will never heal it or stabilize it.
15. to #2 you jews didn't kill the christs
ghostq   (06.08.10)
the roman did, and since the christ himself was a jew it make no sense what so ever, anyway arabs r not the most tolerant people and won't miss oppertunity to use violance against others.
16. to #10 I guess they forgot about the sucide
ghostq   (06.08.10)
explotion, but I have strong feeling they will have rerun.
17. to #7 I guess pali understand better when
ghostq   (06.08.10)
you talk in their language and that is violance for example in 90's the Israeli gov was for peace all the way, yet that was the era of sucide bombings. reality say you can only talk to them though military terms cause the other kind doesn't work, Israel tried to talk to them but all the initiatives for peace came from the Israeli side only.
18. Turkey: terrorist coward hiding behind humanitarian cause
Omar ,   Jacksonville   (06.08.10)
First it was women and children now the terrorists are hiding behind humanitarian causes to push their oppressve and violant agenda
19. Terrorstinians Don't Want Dialog
emanon ,   USA   (06.08.10)
How do you have a dialog with someone that only shouts their side and will not allow any other voice to be heard? Terrorstinian tactics are the same ones Nazis used: shout something loud enough and often enough, stifle any rebuttal and soon, regardless of how patently false the statement is, someone will start believing it. Do this often enough and you get more people on your side.
20. I stand with Israel
Ana ,   Va, Spain   (06.08.10)
and am ashamed of the anti-Semitic attacks which are being committed in my country.
21. Disgusting. Call yourselves "peace activists" Your'e THUGS!
Scott   (06.08.10)
22. First the Saturday people
Seth Greenberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.08.10)
Spanish friends, be happy that there are still Jews in your country. There is a familiar Arabic phrase that is found grafittied on walls in Christian areas of Israel - "First the Saturday people and then the Sunday people." You have let these ignorant, hate-filled stone throwers into your country. When they run out of Jews, will they be satisfied?
23. #3 "one Israeli lightly wounded when police vehicle stoned"
lara ,   Australia   (06.08.10)
"It appears that the Palestinian "Activists" are as violent and destructive as the terrorists they choose to protect." So violent, that 1 person was "lightly wounded". He probably suffered a scratch. So violent that in the flotilla raid, 9 activists were killed and many injured. Yet no Israelis died. "destroying fertile land they were given" you are so generous. All you do is give more and more fertlie land to the Palestinians. http://www.leedspsc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/israel-palestine-map.jpg "Leaving the full information out of what truly happened on the flotilla in the media is not impressive either." Isn't Israel the only party who refuses to an independant and impartial international investigation? If you want the full story, then your govenment needs to stop rejecting the UN and Human Rights decisions in regards to investigation of the truth.
24. #20 You're not alone
Antonio ,   Spain   (06.08.10)
As Ana and me, there is a lot of people in Spain who support Israel and Jews; this gang of self-named progresists are leading a continuous anti-Israel protest, forgotting that two volunteers are still kidnapped (7 months ago) in Al Qaeda's hands, in Morocco or Mauritania. Just have read post in e-papers when 'flotilla' was assaulted: support of the action was majority. Spanish government is a master of diverting attention of the real problems of the country ... and these protesters are some of their puppets.
25. More peace and love! Pal activists are sooo humanitarian!
Avi Zelikovitch ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.08.10)
26. There go your peace loving human rights defenders Arabs....
EST ,   Miami USA   (06.08.10)
The spoof Flotilla Choir:We Con the World is right on target. These pro Palestinians masquerading as peace activists and all those who support them are viciously violent, trample on the rights of those who don't see things like them, and will kill in order to impose their views and intimidate those who don't agree with them. Where are those that truly stand up for human rights? Certainly not among these fascists!!!
27. Spaniards are dhimmies already?
Ram ,   London   (06.08.10)
They are so blinded by anti-semitism that they are down to kissing their Madrid bomber's touchases? Hey, whatever turns you on. If you go to the Costa del Sol as a kipa wearing tourist nothing will happen to you except for the fact that you will find it too expensive. The Spanish morons only rear their ugly anti-semitic heads when driven by the arabs amongst them or on the media. Other then that they will not bother Jews.
28. Spaniards have forgotten Atocha and the 900 dead....
EST ,   Miami USA   (06.08.10)
What can you expect from a country that instead of going after those who incited the mass murderers to kill 900 innocent Spaniards ... put its tail in between its legs and elected those who favor politicis of the murderers??????
29. #12 Who hasn't changed?
Antonio ,   Spain   (06.08.10)
Have you been in Barcelona, Málaga, Córdoba, Madrid or in another city with Jewish comunities? Do you know that Spain has more than 30 synagoges, and RESPECTED Jewish cemeteries? Do you know that there are Jewish colleges and a lot of Spainsh-Israel/Jewish collaboration institutions? Look, from someone that writes as he speaks and looks like it were been in Taberna's desert (yes, there are fake yankies with cow-boys and fake 'sioux'), neither Spain nor any other country should be proud to receive you ... but Spain did it. Ah! How many Red Indians' facilities, institutions and traditions have you respected since 200 years ago until now?
30. WHat about Afganistan?
Marcus   (06.08.10)
SPain participates in the afghan genocide where soldiers used to rape and burn women, and killed more civilians than in 60 years of conflict against palestine from both sides. Their entire history is too bloody like the israeli one,im not saying israel is better than spain, we are talking about 2 genocides nations,one with a little of self-criticsm and the second one without..
