61. Outrageous!
Ilana ,   ISRAEL   (07.26.11)
This guy isn't welcome here anymore...
62. Glenn, Take your insulting comparisons and go away!
Jacob S ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
63. @ 42 What is wrong with you?
Liora ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
I'm against the boycott and the hateful indoctrination of children in summer camps! But between here and the Hitler Youth ther's a huge difference. This is cheapening the Holocaust! And disrespect for children in Norwegians who died!
64. Glenn Beck is their Shlomo Gazit
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.26.11)
Shlomo Gazit, an ex-General, made a similar comment in regards to the knitted kipa of religious soldiers. That is even more disgusting than the comment attributed to Beck, but Israeli leftists are anything but consistent. As to the exact text look it up. YNET won't print it here. Third attempt.

Tor ,   Tel Aviv   (07.26.11)
i think the rational is more along this line: Comparing socialdemocratic youth to Hitler youth is in the first place deeply offensive and ungrounded. Secondly, doing after many of them got slaughters by a terrorist is just heartless and shameful.
66. go for the jugular
(07.26.11)
you're so predictable...figure it out...
67. #os' 31; 32 and 33;
Moragh   (07.26.11)
Right now I think that the only ignorant, opinionated egotistical idiots who are clearly mentally ill is nobody - least of all Glenn Beck- but Aerin, Piedmont, NC himself. What an opinionated clown he sounds. Followed by Aerin, Menachen in Haifa and Daniel in Jerusalem. How can Israel do anything correct with idiots like these.
68. Beck was right
rom ,   israel   (07.26.11)
This, according to the article, was what he said: "There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing." And for that you are calling him an idiot? Obviously some of you talkbackers need to read about what that camp was for. Those "kids" were being brainwashed against ISRAEL, same as what the Arabs in Gaza do to their young ones, same as what the Germans were doing to their Hitler Youth. No, I don't condone the brutal killings. But I do question what the parents were doing sending them to such a camp.
69. I wouldn't say Nazi youth camp but bolshevik youth camp
Fred   (07.26.11)
Beck is a TRUE friend of Israel and we must support him as much he supports us.
70. He isbelittling the Holocaust and the murdered children!!!
Eleanor R ,   Ra'anana, ISRAEL   (07.26.11)
71. BECK DO YOURSELF & US A FAVORE:
Robert ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
Don't asociate this man with me. the terrorist who killed those kids acted like the jihadists he loves to hate. no hitler youth I have only empathy to offer to Norway. (and I'm against their opinions and their boycott)
72. Devorah @ 41 Well I'm barfing
Elizabeth   (07.26.11)
at the rubbish you write at 41. Girl/guy, you're truly among other writers here that need your heads looked at. The Dead Sea is rightfully in America you write. Oh my goodness! what's wrong with that little nut you have stuck on your shoulders? What a sick person you are!
73.  I think he has a very narrow world view
Tal ,   Ramat- Gan, Israel   (07.26.11)
My heart goes out to those kids and their families. those kids were victims of the killer and of adolts who used them for their political views. I hope he has also some nice things to say about them...
74. Glenn Beck is a disgrace to humanity
George ,   Israel   (07.26.11)
have some compassion, man. these people just died this is not the time and not the place to make such accusations! although I disagree with their views, RIP kids.
75. General rule of thumb
Deebo_ ,   Holon   (07.26.11)
Those in the public arena, unless describing someone's mustache, should refrain from comparing anything to Hitler.
76. #1 It is the "great intellects " that has got
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.26.11)
this world in such a mess. Such indoctrination now is that of the Left as was seen here in Norway. GB is right and too bad you are too much of an "intellectual " to see that.
77. Glenn, May life teach you to be kind.
Karen ,   TLV, ISRAEL   (07.26.11)
my paryers and my love goes out to Norway. It does not a reason to kill people. yes, even hitler's youth camps. Israel is suffering from the boycotters' hate and from Beck's hate to, well, everything.
78. #72 Elizabeth, you have reading comprehension problems
(07.26.11)
79. Holiday camps not for fun?
james ,   uk/il   (07.26.11)
80. It was for reasons such as this...
Moshe ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.26.11)
that Fox "News" got rid of him. Even by its highly dubious "standards," he was too bizarre, outrageous, ugly, hate-filled, CRAZY!! (But not too bizarre, outrageous, ugly, hate-filled, CRAZY for the Knesset and for his Israel "rally.") And save your time responding that he left Fox. It is not true. Fox elected not to renew his contract, not the other way around. He is a disaster. Always having to apologize for what he says.
81. They were being indoctrinated
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (07.26.11)
They were being indoctrinated against Israel. This was not just some 'fun summer camp' but a chance to brainwash young minds. Having said that, I - and Glenn Beck - in no way condone the murder of those young people!
82. Glenn Beck
Niss ,   uk   (07.26.11)
You should listen to his programs before making judgment on him dont listen to distorted information. then make your own mind many people are getting information from people and belive it without checking it themselves
83. glen beck
anton fjordson ,   berlin germany   (07.26.11)
he caters to a demographic that never lets a little thing like the facts get in the way of the news. shame on him again. a
84. I'm sorry for the Norwegians
Hila ,   ISRAEL   (07.26.11)
that just after this sad weekend , they need to hear the nonsense of Glenn Beck. Although it is important for us that you Norwegians know: we've been hurt emotionally (not economiclly) from your boycott and this indoctrination. you hurt our feelings and that's the reason for some comments here...
85. Not only the children but also Israel....
Dan ,   Rishon, Israel   (07.26.11)
are the victims of hatred of a few older Norwegians to Israel, and Beck's hatred of anyone who disagrees with him. God help us all.
86. They forbade Germany from testing subs to be sold to Israel
Sean Green ,   Pasadena, USA   (07.26.11)
They would not allow germany to test subs in their waters knowing the subs would go to Israel. They really dislike jews. I cant understand why though.
87. Why is Beck's comparison controversial??
Leo ,   Australia   (07.26.11)
After all, the kids at the camp held out a boycott Israel sign for their foreign minister. They were clearly indocritnated. Weren't the last Euorpean people who called an all out boycott on Jews and indocrtinated their own children( via summer camps) into nasty Jew hatred from Nazi era Germany?
88. How Beck is correct
Bram ,   New York   (07.26.11)
Maybe it was not the time to say it publicly, but it's actually true. Of course, I condemn the murders. But before the kids on the island were murdered by the terrorist, they were lending their support to terrorists who murder Jewish kids. The Norwegian Foreign Minister on Utøya Island demanded an end to ''Israeli occupation'' to cheers from the audience, saying the wall (which protects Jews from terror attacks) must come down. Some carried signs advocating the boycott of Israel. That sounds pretty close to the Hitler Youth to me. Think about it: Why is supporting terrorists like Hamas, who call for the genocide of all Jews, mainstream and fine (and make no mistake, they are supporting Hamas by wanting the wall to come down), but calling the camp where they do this a negative name so offensive?
89. Poor guy
befriend ,   Norway   (07.26.11)
In this matter, Glenn Beck is displaying himself as nothing else than an ignorant fool... Even though I don't support the labour party myself ... his comparison is way, way over the line.
90. to # 36
sas ,   israel   (07.26.11)
well written!
