31. Why is anyone paying attention to Glenn Beck?
Aerin ,   Piedmont, NC   (07.26.11)
Why is anyone still reporting or paying any attention at all to Glenn Beck? He's not only an ignorant, opinionated, egotistical idiot, but he's clearly mentally ill. His opinions should not be reported or taken seriously by anyone (except other mentally disturbed, ignorant idiots).
32. Beck to stay out of Israel!!!!
Menachem ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.26.11)
33. Beck is always making Holocaust
Daniel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.26.11)
comparisons. Almost every day on his television or radio shows. "Nazi this" "Nazi that" "Hitler this" "Hitler that" He is a very sick, dangerous guy. And no TRUE friend of Jews or Israel.
34. The problem is,Beck is right...why children where there?
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (07.26.11)
Why children where taken to a "boycott Israel " summer camp?Why Are children fro Europe used like Hamas use their children?
35. Guess what?Glen Back is smarter than many out there...
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (07.26.11)
The NAKED truth?Glen Back,you might be' mormon,american,conservative and bla ..bla..bla..but you Are the smartest guy out there and say things that need to be say....all the others Are fake,like Islam is fake,the quran is fake,Arafat is fake,and not Smart at all... At least Glen,you use your Common sense,your brain;muslim learn only to' use guns and kilt,with out thinking and with out any Common sense....
36. I'm with you Beck - 100%
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (07.26.11)
The people who are so outraged by Glen Beck are probably the same blind innocents who elected Obama. Anyone old enough to remember the anti Jewish indoctrination of the Hitler Youth finds a perfect parallel with the less than subtle anti Israel indoctrination of the kids at this camp. Beck isn't attacking the kids, but those indoctrinating them with this anti Jewish anti Israel venom. I am 100% with Mr. Beck and grateful for his friendship. And shame on all the Israelis who let themselves get sucked into this hate Beck orgy. You spit on your own faces.
37. Beck beck
juan solana ,   san diego, USA   (07.26.11)
You are doomed.. just can't go lower in history...
38. Don't call this ignorance
Gary Davis ,   Moorpark California   (07.26.11)
I think it is risky to assign the "ignorance" label to Beck. He is anything but ignorant and understood full well that he would be throwing a little gasoline on the fire. Anyone can see that he is little different than the trolls that populate the debate channels on the internet today with the exception that he has learned how to make a living at fanning the fire. He is little different than the mullahs calling for the heads of the infidels. The world is more and more dangerous. We must learn to deal with the fringe elements.

Dennis ,   Denmark   (07.26.11)
Your comment just proves who is brainwashed ....... YOU!!
40. Reply to Aerin #31 Israels right wing
Haim ,   TA   (07.26.11)
you asked who is paying attention to Glen Beck ? The Israeli right wing apparently, treated him like a hero when he spoke in Jerusalem. They couldnt get enough of him, as if we dont have enough lunatics here in Isreal such as MK Michael Ben Ari, who could even make Beck look like an amateur.
41. I don't trust anybody who wears "magic" underwear
Devorah   (07.26.11)
Read the Book of Mormon and find out what Beck REALLY believes. Did you know that the Mormons have knockoff tribes of Israel? Did you know that the Great Salt Lake is the Dead Sea? Did you know that you can be a god? It's enough to make you barf.
42. What is wrong with all Israelis lashing out at Beck?
Tahl   (07.26.11)
Yeah, Glenn Beck may be blunt at times and completely non-PC. And yes, the liberal PC media abbhors him. But he doesn't say anything which does not have a grain of truth inside. In this case, this political camp in Norway was injecting anti-Israel poison by the gallons into these youths brains. I am 100% sure, that had there been a similar terrorist attack in Israel by a Palestinian, the people in this camp would offer very little sympathy to Israel, and actually blame us. I therefore see no reason why Israelis should rush to denounce someone who criticizes this camp. He didn't justify the tragic terrorist attack there - only criticized the camp's extremist political ideology. Why should we take the sting out of his words? Why should we mitigate his attack on these Israel-haters? Did these Israel-haters stand up for us, when Ahmadinejad routinely called to wipe us off the map? I bet they were cheering. Personally I'm sick and tired of my country being branded the bad-guy of the world, and being the target of so much hate. So it makes me feel good to see these haters get some heat in return. And coming from a non-Jew like Beck, it is even better. We Israelis should be much more grateful for those who stand up for us.
43. Utoya indoctrination camp.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (07.26.11)
It was a leftist camp with signs all over saying Boycott Israel. So, the comparison is not so far off.
44. A genuine question
bill   (07.26.11)
what is the first language of the Israeli politicians who invited Beck to visit Israel? It is incomprehensible that any Israeli whose first language is english would think Beck might be good for Israel. Only someone with no understanding of english and the culture of english-speaking countries would think Beck is a good thing for Israel. Glen Beck is a pariah in the english-speaking world due to his STUPIDITY, not his bravery. He is an ass. Get it? Only very stupid people listen to Beck. How many times do people have to tell Israel's politicians this before they listen?
45. Glenn Beck is only the messenger
daze ,   US   (07.26.11)
Nobody has yet refuted that this camp was training kids in tactics aimed at causing trouble to Israel. Would norway like it if the youth of another nation were being trained in ways to disrupt their sardine fleet or sabotage their oil rigs. To Glenn Beck detractors, instead of name calling and cute little quips how about putting forth valid facts
46. youth camp
aline silverman ,   israel   (07.26.11)
I am not much interested by what this fellow Beck has to say HOWEVER I worry when I see teenagers with banners such as those. (BOYCOT ISRAEL). Certainly a labour group could have different matters to teach their kids....maybe tolerance, understanding, not being one sided try to learn more about issues and countries,,,to name but a few...
47. Beck Is Of Course Right
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (07.26.11)
B"H Beck is of course right, but this is not a good enough reason to unleash thousands of xtian missionaries on Jerusalem. Beck, stay in America, support us from there!
48. he is right
Golan ,   modiin   (07.26.11)
why are youth groups political? Its brainwashing. On that island they learned to hate Jews and Israel. Getting murdered did not change that fact. So please people be intelligent enough to separate the horrid crime against them from the horrid anti-Semitism they were spewing.
49. BECK
Adam ,   London   (07.26.11)
"Young political activists have gathered at Utoya for over 60 years to learn about and be part of democracy, the very opposite of what the Hitler Youth was about," Eriksen told The Daily Telegraph. QUOTED EXACTLY THE VERY OPPOSITE BUT SPOON FED IN THE SAME WAY. WHO DOES SEND THEIR KIDS TO SUMMER CAMP WITH A POLITICAL AGENDA ? BECK HAS A POINT
50. Where Beck is a despicable human being!
Arie ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.26.11)
Excuse me, if they boycott me I'll know how to handle it by myself. I'll deal with that with love which will drive their darkness and hatred out. and calling names like "Hitler youth" is just.....
51. This person has no feelings???
Diana K ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
I am deeply offended by their boycott, of course. But the comparison with Nazi Germany is despicable! As well as education to hate people (any people) at summer camp...
52. first thing , may you rest in peace children...
Zvi Ben- Ami ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
Second, Glenn Beck totally exaggerated! I know they're not guilty and that is only the adults around them that brain washed them! These people were murdered by a despicable terrorist. Beck has no compassion?
53. I have some things to say
Eli N ,   ISRAEL   (07.26.11)
1. My thoughts and prayers are with Norway in these hard times. 2. I'm against the indoctrination of children and mixing them in politics from an early age! Children should not mess with that. Norway certainly degrades its youth and uses it if the political camps are commonplace there. 3. No matter how he or we hate the act of the deceased (may they rest in peace), he should NOT call them names! He just disgusts me...
54. Israel is stuck in the middle between the two nuts
Caroline ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
Crazy number one: Who educates children to hate with political activity. Who teaches children to hate some people instead of loving and sharing. Crazy number two (worse than nu. 1): Who makes comparisons of place. Who has no respect for the dead. Anyone who ignores the fact that it's just kids. and disrespect to holocaust memory....
55. This is misleading!
glenn ,   Norway   (07.26.11)
The AUF camp held at Utøya (where the shooting happened) is not a kids camp, it's a camp for youth (16-24 years old) members of the Norwegian Labour Party. It's not somewhere parents send their children to learn about their parents political views. In Norway, children have the opportunity to decide for themselves when it comes to politics, religion, etc... The youth that was gathered here is youth politicians, already enlisted in the Norwegian Labour Party... Facts are crucial!
56. Wrong words, correct analogy
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.26.11)
These youths who despise Nationalism, were making their priority the 'liberation of Palestine'. Their deaths were unjustified, but their indoctrination deserves to die, just like the Nazi generation that they emulate. A faulted democracy that cries for historical revisionism, lies and support for Arab Jihad, and has no place for Jews. Democracy my arss.
57. (19) Rina
tiki ,   belgium   (07.26.11)
Politics // Youth camps: USSR // Russian politics, Israel // Israeli politics Norway // Israeli politics Beck is not an idiot, only a realist.
58. Problems, wherever you look
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (07.26.11)
Glenn Beck is a problem by himself, political youth camps are another problem. First about Beck. If he was serious, he would have addressed the issue on political training for young people way before. But I believe, Beck has no idea, how this is conducted here in Europe. About these political youth camps: If you ever tried to discuss with a young political activist here in Europe you will find, that they only know their view and they are trained to defend it. This views look consistent from the inside perspective and from the inside point of view every concern from a different perspective is wrong, since incompatible. These young political activists are trained towards political autism. And they comply with a group dynamic pressure from within their political organization. Nevertheless, we need to keep things separate. This terror attack is the wrong cause to start a discussion about the nature of political youth camps. Wrong guy! Wrong time! Wrong cause!
59. Campers had banners "Boycott Israel"
TellTheWholeStory ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.26.11)
Why are you not telling the whole story the "political campers" were calling for a FULL boycott of all of Israel. Thats not exactly love the Labor Foreign Minister even had called on Norway to intervene militarily against Israel during the Gaza incursion.These were and are die hard leftist fantatics no less than the shooter was. THere was no message of love coiming out of this camp despite the manipulations of the media.
60. He spoke the truth...
cj ,   paris France   (07.26.11)
Those camps are used by the left to attack Israel, jews and anyone not obeying the Marxixt agenda and agreeing to the Islamisation of Europe. Why is Glenn Beck being set upon by raising a valid point ? Can anyone imagine the Conservatives parties in any other country having summer camp of that sort and the left not raging against them ? One rule for the left ,one rule for the others...That is what socialism is like....Obey or else we shall lable you...Islaompohope, Homophobe.ect...
