2. Bush Square
Joshua ,   USA   (08.10.11)
Great idea! Naming a square after the dumbest moron the USA ever had for president does not bring pride - it brings shame to the city!
3. Bush Square
Golani ,   Vineland, USA/Israel   (08.11.11)
Not only was George W. Bush one of the best US presidents in regard to Israel, he was also a great president for the US. He kept the US safe during a very dangerous time. Even with the events of 911, he was able to keep the economy going. Compared to where we are at today in the US, George W. Bush will be represented very well in History. I say, keep the name of the Square... Remember my words... History will be very kind to George W. Bush.
4. rename it

Honoring the man who invaded Iraq based on 100% lies? In addition, The man almost singlehandedly brought down the planet's economy and ran the U.S. economy into a ditch. Israel will have good friends without him.
5. To #3
Joshua ,   USA   (08.11.11)
I do not know what you are smoking, but - I would sure love to try it. Obviously you were not in the US during the 8 most awful years of the Bush administration.
6. disgrace for which there can be NO excuses.
dante ,   uk   (08.11.11)
an act of gratitude has been turned into its opposite by foolish little men. people should bear this in mind when making contributions to any of the funds that help Israel. specific requests should be made to EXCLUDE the fools of Givat Shmuel. disgusting.
7. Answer to #2
Rick ,   USA   (08.11.11)
The dumbest moron the USA ever had for president currently resides in the White House.
8. Mindless Hatred
leo ,   nyc   (08.11.11)
To the Bush haters: Review the events since Bush has left office and tell us what wonderful things have happened---let's see---NOTHING! If anything, the only hope there is for the world is Obama's defeat in the Fall of 2012.
9. Here in Copenhagen...
withheld ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (08.11.11)
We have a square called Israel's square, and Arabs as well as left winged politicians have actually attempted to amend this name. I think once you take a decision to name a square, that's it. I mean to do this to show your animosity towards a nation or a public figure is low and childish IMO. Be bigger and see Bush as a historical figure, nothing more nothing less. And next time just think twice before naming a street after a public figure.
10. stupid christian fundamentalist
bernardo ,   munich, allemagne   (08.12.11)
Why this? A stupid christian fundamentalist who begun wars in Afghanistan und Iraq without considering which way to get out. The current financial American mess is mostly based on this disastrous decisions. This man is neither a friend of Israel nor has he the brains to realze what he is/was doing. "Mission accomplished" what a hypocrisy.
