1. Support Israeli designers instead.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.04.10)
2. Re: #1 - FYI
Morris ,   Israel   (07.04.10)
Just so you know: the owner is Jewish!!!
3. America Junior
Nir ,   Israel   (07.04.10)
Great, more American imperialism to come destroy our culture. It doesn't matter if the owner is Jewish, this is American culture not Israeli.
4. Protect Israeli society
David ,   Canada   (07.05.10)
The "owner" is not Jewish, this is a corporation on the stock market, there is not "an owner".
5. Welcome Aboard American Eagle
Armchair General ,   Wisconsin, USA   (07.05.10)
At a time of the campaign against Israel of boycotts, divestiture, and sanctions, it is encouraging that American Eagle is setting up a franchise in Israel. Additionally, Israel is fortunate to have an Intel branch that remains despite the stoning by the anti-Zionist haredim over the parking lot open on Saturday.
6. Most stuff brought from the States

the materials are too heavy fro our climate e.g. Gap
7. Not every one runs to NY

at every nonsensical opportunity. No harm bringng stuff here, as long as the clothes are suitable for our climate, which mostly, they are not. I send loads of Israeli stuff overseas as gifts and they love it, appreciate it, and are always asked where they bought it. It's funky and young looking. Doesn't have that 'heavy' slightly old fashioned look. So, live and let live, without getting your knickers in a twist. American/British brand names are availabe everywhere here if you know where to look. Kids stuff galore in fact. Prices are amazingly low too.
8. Where is the clothing made anyway?
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.05.10)
China? Like so much so called Israeli clothing?
9. Why are you stuck
request   (07.05.10)
on 4 talkbacks, when youve actually printed more. Number needs changing. Thank you.
10. Israel like much of the western world is losing its
Al   (07.05.10)
industrial base. In fact you produce more lawyers, drei kops, and BS artists on per capita basis then most western nations. You dont produce many capable people who can actually produce anything of real value. Yes.. yes you will tell me about medical scientists, Iphone engineers etc but in the new poor world of the west those items including overpriced medical wonder gadgets dont have a very secure future. America, the biggest consumer market in the world' is hurting very badly and will be hurting more. The previously rich west is in meltdown mode. The new rich are the Indians and the Chinese and they are not about to part with their new found wealth. China is case you didnt know it is a communist regime. They can control their people in a nanosecond. Israel needs to return to its own manufacturing base and self contained production. It is of strategic importance that she does that. Spending your money on American branded, chinese made crap is not a very smart move.
11. Lots of girlies want Primark UK here too
metzia yenta   (07.06.10)
but prices will be just awful so its not worth all their efforts, collecting signatures etc. Let's stick to what we have , it's quite adequate. Loads of stuff from overseas in the bastot and bazaars and ramle lod markets etc If you look, at terrific prices,old navy next, zara, good stuff, even if its fake its very good Probably pinched off the back of a lorry...lol
12. I guess it is good for the Jews
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat   (07.06.10)
If it encourages use to make better cheaper products in competition.
