I wonder if Mike Leigh would go to an Elton John concert?

99% of Israelis have never heard of him anyway, so it's so hilarious that he thinks he's making a statement. LOL. Have a great day everybody! !sraeli!

I wonder if he has been to the US or the UK recently who kill hundreds of innocent Afghans half-way around the world from them. Or France who rounds up and deports Gypsies? Or Switzerland who won't let Moslems build proper mosques?

Waw, It's an honor to meet you in Jenin Mr. Mike Leigh..you're welcome any time.

I will respect his views only after he takes an active and public stand against Islamic racism, bigotry and calls to genocide! Haven't heard him complaining or expressing outrage neither when Ahmedinejad denies Holocaust or calls fir Israel's destruction, nor when thousands of rockets fall on innocent citizens in Sderot or Ashkelon. I haven't heard his "conscience" bother him and calling for the immediate and uncondictional releas of kidnapped Gilad Shalit. Instead, he choses the "pet bashing cushion" of the hypocritical Left: Israel. He is just another arrogant and pompous fool, trying to make a wave. I'd like to hear what he has to say about the public and frequent calls to the destruction and Islamization if UK, by extremist UK Muslim clerics all over London. Does he really think that his @rse will be spared when these murderous primitives go on a religious rampage? So here is my three-finger salute to his non-visit. I'd hate to see us host this kind of spineless hypocrites.

Becoming Muslim in the UK is not all that bad... of course, you will have to look for a different occupation (no pun intended) ... maybe you can make "God is Great" propaganda movies?

...and I'll tell you what you are. You have stated in so many words that you are against Israel, that I really wondered why it took you so long to finally break the camel's back with a pathetic and racist statement. It is good that you've expressed your dementia in writing. At least you can never claim that you've been taken out of context. After this disgusting display of hatred against Israel, you have become just another collaborator with the appeasing and suicidal Left. You have proven that you have no morals, no character and no common sense. And we certainly do NOT need a person like this "lecturing" us on any subject, especially on justice, peace or humanity. As for your movies, well, they are now exactly like a very beautiful lady, with a really pungent breath: attractive at first, but disgusting after she opens her mouth.

In Britain the migrants don't pledge allegience to the queen of England? It does not prevent them from setting up terror cells. Nevertheless they take the pledge. We call it the oath...

The more steps Israel takes to establish and strengthen its Jewish nature, the more hostility it arouses. How interesting.

How will Israel manage without that paragon of virtue and wonderful example of humanity Mike Leigh ( who ?) visiting our golden beaches? still ,never mind.....

Amazing that this guy supports UK Oath of Allegience, USA Oath of Allegience, and obviously the war in Afghanistan (he hasnt stopped visiting USA or UK, which means that according to his criteria, he supports both Governments). Basically, he is an Anti-Semite. A beef against the Government should not affect anything else. Add to that he is probably a firm supporter of Hamas, as long as they continue killing Jews.

Israel is a young country, and it needs the loyalty of its citizens what is wrong with that? Israel,Israel,Israel,Israel, like Israel is the only country in this World or what,? 22.000, KM2 which most is desert, I am so mad, this World can not allow or try to disturb a country to World oldest and most creative race of people this land. 22.000 km2 that is all folks, leave Israel alone,you don't want to come than don't, who would want a house guest who doesn't like to host I hope one day A rock as big as Israel will fall on every person whom hates Israel, that would be a God's Justice and By the way that was a Turkish saying since I am a Turkish-Jew, if Israel is in defensive mode and from that defensive mode it acts aggressive than it is not Israels fault, if I am threaten l will have my guards up all the time, and sometimes l shoot if the fly passes me by, that what any human do that it is a human nature to be on alert if you are surrounded by people who would drown you in spoon full of water, and that was an other Turkish saying, LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE until they feel safe only way to do that, stop threshing Israel,Jews knows very well how threats starts and where they lead to,Israel is a life boat for every Jew in this World, place to run to when there is a danger, before they did not had it, well Turkey always welcome them, but that was it, who would want his or hers life boat destroyed or poked holes in to, NO ONE! STOP. or Israel will stop you good. that is a warning to all of you Israel haters, Jews are not helpless anymore, they will not crawl to your Owens like in Germany or burnt a live like in Spain or be kicked out of their home land by Egyptians, we are not going anywhere, Israel is there to stay, or we are all leaving together, you got my point? I hope so, with that note, How about solving the problems all around the World, who are helpless like Jews used to be before Israel, look and read the news you will find 1000's of examples from Africa to Asia to Europe, even in Latin America, boycott them, and leave Israel alone, bye

I would like to share a personal story that I believe reflects just how blinded to the truth the British have become. I had a friend I met at the Yeshiva in Jerusalem who was from Britain. I asked him why was the BBC so anti-Israel and he looked at me in all seriousness and said, "What are you talking about? If anything the BBC is too pro-Israel." Then the Gaza flotilla incident happened and what were the BBC headlines "Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship" well we all learned later on that wasn't exactly how it went down. This same friend had returned to the UK prior to the flotilla Hoax and I asked him again why was the BBC so quick to bash Israel, that's when he began to realize what I had asked him when he was in Jerusalem. He had no reason for me this time and was baffled by it. Anyway it's no wonder the British are getting so hostile towards Israel, they only see the lies and not what's really going on. The message in the British media seems to be that Israel is wrong even when it's right. Pallywood is paying off with interest there and this only means that the British won't be coming anymore. Sadly it's more of a loss to them then to Israel, I only pray that the Jews there leave as soon as possible.

I am not going to England this year. I was thinking about it, but then I changed my mind. Who cares?

Mr. Leigh, take your arrogant rhetoric and shove it. We DO NOT WANT YOUR KIND HERE! Go cuddle with Erdogan and Nasrallah, people whose narrative you like best. Despite your " intellectual" facade, you have exposed yourself as not being better than the worst Islamic racists. I am sure that Stalin the butcher would be proud of you. Who knows, you may even receive an Honoris Causa from the Genocidal University of Teheran, courtesy of Ahmedinejad. Or maybe a hand-shake from the representative of the executors of the Armenian Genocide - treacherous Erdogan, or spineless Gul.

I am sorry that you feel that way but the true color always comes out. what a shame that politics always have to play a role in every decision that is been done but only against Israel. I don't hear any complaints against any Arabs countries or the "poor" Hamas or the Palestinians who keeps rejecting every offers that we make.... But that's Politics!!!!!!

When someone is declining in fame and want to have some publicity he have an easy option decline invitation to an event in Israel. this is the strident contrast between culture and ignorance.

We'd hate to be associated with a hypocrite like yourself. If a Jew was to suggest that Palestine was to be a non-Muslin country that would give you another reason to appease your new Muslim dictated England...right!

Why do all these 'Political Correct Actors/Directors find themselves such 'political experts on (only) Israel and not on their own countries GB and US. I havn't heard one 'peeps of disatisfaction or threaths of boycots there. Could it have something to do with work and money???? Have they gone blind by looking too much to small screens, have they gone deaf by listening too much into their own megaphones, are they just 'parroting other 'political correct actors/directors or are they just 'overrated idiots. Why is it that people of the 'arts are such promotors of terrorists?

So therefore i presume that Israelis visiting the UK wont mind signing a document pledging loyalty to the Queen of England promising to obey her Royal commands ? of course they wont as such a document is pure rascism and the sign of a desperate goverment. Is the Israeli goverment that stupid to think that anyone in their right mind would sign such a document.

Don't visit the US either. Or for that matter, renounce your citizenship to Britian, and disavow your loyalty to the crown of England. I am glad one less moron will stain our soil with his feet.

funny ,i never heard of him saying anything when hammas shoots rockets into israel killing and wounding innocent people ..in fact having never heard a word out of him while terror rains down on israel,i dont want him here.

Tony Blair and now this chap here. He said that he wouldn't come until peace was there and the Palestinians had a fair deal. How much worth does he think his words has? That Jews would then scramble and get their act together, now that he tells them to, with all of his might and importance? Its so arrogant, its as if the world believes that it is out of lack of motivation that no peace is there. Peace is impossible at this point. We disagree so badly and heavily that we are not presently partners for peace. He is the same, he wouldn't come either because he disagrees. He should have the empathy to understand why this conflict is ongoing, because he is a part of it. Why not throw the first stone, Leigh?

...Anti-Semites; "Progressive" Anti-Jewish racists; 7th Century Based Islamists. The only common denominator for all three is the deep hate of everything that is part of the Jewish people and its nearly 4,000 years old civilization, including the latest manifestations of its national liberation movement of Zionism and the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel. Sadly, too many people who have little or no knowledge and understanding of the Arab Israeli conflict are fooled by the UNHOLY TRINITY to express their negative feelings about the Jewish people and its national home. This case is a perfect example!!

Must be some leftist hypocrite, willing to convert to Islam... Poor guy. (By the way, this crap never "boycotted" the USA, even if he crys Wolf when refering to the Irak war) Again, what an hypocrite!

...music I do not listen to, books I give a pass to. In the absolute hundreds. Like bad TV, and ineadible fast food; I do not use it, and do not miss it. An aging singer or over the hill director, a scribbler who will not stumble down the Dizengoff, basking in the adulation of more inti Israel but generally talentless jerks? OK, I can live with that. Go to France instead. They NEED you.
