why would anybody care what a whingeing pom does or say? the press in israel should pay less attention to the poms and in particular to the lefty unions, you only need to look at them!!

BH, Iowa - I believe it's GDP actually, not GNP, but to the hell with nitpicking, I agree with you big time! As of course agree with the other posters I address. # 24 is especially right; Israel is alas full of inside 5th columnist enemies who want to destroy Israel because of their own misguided Stalinist fruther to the left than the extremist left political oreientation. As fro "graczekushka" - he is as I tried to tell you before is a slavonian ultra-antisemite not muh diff. from the 7th century mindset of Hamas and its lik. Don't let your blood pressure rise unlike me before, pls! It's not worth it!

Ofer, "As long as this atmosphere goes on, the Israeli public will not be motivated to change things." The OPPOSITE is ture. The more you and your cronies apply this hypocritical double standard to us, the farther right most of us lean. Your tactics aren't working.

ofer neiman is unhappy that visitors create the impression that Israel is normal. this enemy-fool would, doubtless, prefer some injury to Israel. this is evidence of pathology. this fool can hold whatever nauseating views he wants, but he should not participate in the campaign of Israel's enemies.

dignity, because we never had a country (well not for the past 2000 years), so we had to do with "cleverness/street smarts".... But now , that we do breathe God's fresh Air (since when is he the author of that?!) we can say "screw you" and not duck for the fear of somebody hitting us with a club. But the galut-mentality is still with us and it pisses me off. That's all . And yes: we do "understand" money. How the Hell did we avoid the present financial world-wide crises? -to paraphrase: Even the antisemites are sometimes right....? Now, go breathe deeply!!

Trying to force artists etc. to cooperate with their boycott is just another example of their general modus operandi - support for repression, opposition to free speech, support for totalitarian and terror groups, opposition to the building of bridges between human beings.

BDS has failed. Israeli products are still being purchased in supermarkets, trade is still continuing, and obscure so called authors McEwan (whom i havent even heard of) is not of interest to anyone. Make sure you twitter #BDSFAIL

and you will have to ride donkeys to work.

Israel when asked nicely. No one wants to find a sawn off head of the favourite horse on his bed.

to these writers shall travel outside of Israel and preferably also stay there.

Yeah Umberto Eco! Well said. So much of this is just Judenhass. I will stand with Israel, always. I can't sing, but will sing for Israel always! Long live the Jews and all they have given the world. It's your land and you are rightous! Shame on those who would align themselves with the totalitarian, despotic world of p*sslam. Merely taking your name off a concert schedule you signed on for is a political act. Remember who stood with you Israel! And never forget those who stood against you! Long live Israel!

Most of these artists are hasbeens in their own countries.No one knows who the heck they are,ok not all of them but the majority.No one cares about what they have to say .They just want the publicity to promot themselves again.

I have lived through the same situation twice in my lifetime and, believe me, you will not like the result if you give up. The countries I lived in were forced to capitulate, by the West, and they and no longer exist. Never, never give up. The alternative is not worth living for. Israel forever.

Is a true story and my fight to achieve a real Israel stem
