31. I'm asking seriously, who is Glenn Beck???
Ron ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
32. we in israel care about everyone even if they
Anna ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
happen to be arabs. as a right wing israeli, i joined the protest cause i know that's the right thing to do. i don't hate all arabs, only terrorists. people in the world don't get us. and Gelenn Beck isn't helping us much with that.... just saying.
33. God Bless you Glenn
Eli ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
I wish all the Jews in Tel Aviv were half of you. Even the Christian Zionists can see through the lies of these Liberal Anarchists.
34. in Chicago we say: "We don't want nobody, that nobody sent!"
Annabelle Lee ,   Chicago   (08.16.11)
So, I for one would call the Israeli Passport Control Authority and ask them to collect this insouciant churl and send him back to the dung heap he came from! His crime? that's easy spewing verbal sewage and pollution all over the holy land! He's an inciteful hate monger! Israel wake up! He doesn't love you he only wants to hurt you. You don't want this nobody that nobody sent! You don't want Beck as your friend, really you don't!
35. Wrong on this one Mr. Beck
Froike ,   NY NY   (08.16.11)
Don't take it personally, but you are dead wrong on this one. There are not just Lefties protesting in these tent cities. The economy of Israel is growing! Unfortunately, the rich get richer and the middle and poverty classes are bearing the stress of inflated prices for housing, food, clothes, etc...but salaries remain paltry. You don't have to be a Lefty to protest runaway greed. The Govt. should build more housing and subsidize it for Israel's citizenry. This has nothing to do with Right or Left Politics!
36. It's not true !!!
Sharon   (08.16.11)
DearGlenn, somebody must have misled you !!! We are not leftists . We just want to renew the public housing projects!!!
37. shlomo @ 6, so far I wasn't able to catch Glenn Beck lying
leo ,   usa   (08.16.11)
when he refers to internal US affairs, which leads me to believe that he is just as accurate talking about Israel's affairs. His research team is very good. If I am wrong, then show me how. Your empty leftist slogans designed for damage control are not working anymore. You need to start offering substance. Do not even try to pull obama. We all are three years wiser today.
38. Beck is a has-been
SteveG NYC ,   USA   (08.16.11)
You've got to be pretty desperate for stories if you start quoting Glenn Beck. He is a very sick man.
39. Glenn is right
Israeli ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
He said what everyone here knows just are afraid to say.The outside hand of well paid anti-Zionist agents are behind this protests
40. So the kook Ron Paul got it right!
Thomas ,   USA   (08.16.11)
Reading multiple expression of hatred toward Glenn a true pro-Israeli American politician one came to the conclusion that the Libertarian - considered as a "kook" by many - Ron Paul got it right. Conservatives better let Israel loose and left to her own devices. Glenn come back, let the ObamaJews, Jstreet, Soros run that country: let's vote for Ron Paul and get out from the M.E. morass. If they want Stalin back and destroy themselves, so be it: they want to dwell alone anyway. Let them do so.
41. Hey Beck....You must be be stupid...
Ali ,   Villanova -USA   (08.16.11)
The Jews of the world, .in Israel and elsewhere, are not stupid, Glenn...and the are all laughing at you...
42. Republic of Gilead...
Herbet H. Kitchener ,   Bototm of the sea   (08.16.11)
is looming if the likes of Beck are on the helm. And behold what's in store for all tribes of Avraham/Ibrahim -> see Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel 'The Handmaid's Tale' ... Take care of my friends; I can take care of my enemies. 'Julius Caesar'
43. Beck the right wing rascist not welcome
Haim ,   TA   (08.16.11)
As if we dont have enough lunatics here in Israel we need to import them. Quite honestly its none of his bussiness what is happening in Israel, he is not Israeli he has no idea what so ever about the cost of living here, his only motive is to sitir up trouble . Go home Mr Beck you might fool the right wing with your rascist speeches but the majority dosent buy your particular brand of BS.
44. Thee left wing nuts are calling for violence
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.16.11)
they are no better than arabs
45. nice demands.... most will destroy Israel
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.16.11)
46. to no.6
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (08.16.11)
Unless you can back your accusations with facts, you are nothing, but a coward and a lier, shlomo... Glen Beck is a devaut defender of Jewish People and everything, Judaism stands for...He stands alone and He is the most righteous Christian I know...One, who is not afraid to defend Israel and who made it his life's work to stand up for the Jewish People by a personal example and invest $$, time and effort to show solidarity with Israel and the Jewish People. Glen Beck is doing the utmost job of "Hasbarah" in the plight of our Nation...You are a poor lost soul, shlomo...I really feel sorry for you...
47. no.27
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (08.16.11)
So what is it exactly, that you see in Glen Beck, that has formed your opinion , alexander ? I gues it takes a real moron to call someone of Beck's statue, an idiot...And what did he do to you and your frantic delusional friends, to earn such a welcome ? If anything, he has brought a lot of business and positive exposure and publicity to Israel. Glen Beck is one of the best defenders and advocates of Israel around the world. SHAME ON YOU ALL, you blinded little libsy cowards...Why don't you invite nasralla to Tel-Aviv and give him a welcoming parade...
48. I'm no big fan of Beck
Devorah   (08.16.11)
but does anyone remember TB #5 in this article? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4108862,00.html Maybe it's tripe, and maybe it's not.
49. beck not an evangelical...
jesse ,   usa   (08.16.11)
nor fundalmentalist christian...Roman Catholic" works"
50. He is right, BUT, only for the organizers. Only they are
Jewish ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
from the far left who have demands to change everything from Zionism itself (a far left demand) to things more people want like more affordable housing (in tel aviv). He should focus on the organizers and their real desires that they openly admit...
51. Glen Pay No Attention to all the negative posts
Eli ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
These are all PAID liberal anarchist working for Livni and other Jewish Self hating Traitors. Real patriotic Zionist Jews understand you Glenn, these anarchists dont work they sleep on the beach all day and get paid to riot, protest and post on the internet, its all a big lie. They are like the bums in America that think the Tax Payers owe them anything. Bibi will win again, most Israelis are seeing through their lies, this is all about taking down Netanyahu, has nothing to do with rent.
52. Bad eggs & Tomatos for Glen Beck
norbus ,   jerusalem   (08.16.11)
I aim to attend with rotten eggs and mouldy tomatoes. I am no leftist and see it as inevitable some leftists are part of the protestors, but majority in the vanguard are salary earners, professionals and have nots crying for social justice in a society in need of urgent healing corrections Black economy, corruption, land planning abuse politicians forget who elected them, , inconsistent administration of laws, free for all empty properties held for gains, etc Jewish laws call for social justice, so as to help your needy brother. A big chunk of society seems in need of help, and I an thrilled to see the protestors beginning to recognise the systemic faults and call for their rights to a better just society. Glen Beck, go find a better cause. They need you in Syria.
53. who hired Beck?
norbus ,   Jerusalem   (08.16.11)
How come G Beck is here and not fighting over there to stop Obama ruining the USA if he gets a second term? Who hired him to come here and do Israeli politics? I do not think Natanyahoo is that stupid. So who did it? Some enemy of Israel clearly, wanting to meddle in its affairs Who?
54. Re #19 Just did some research ...
John ,   Alaska   (08.16.11)
I found that the people who criticize Glenn Beck are people who either hate Israel, like George Soros, or who hate the so-called "settlements" in Israel's heartland, or who hate Glenn Beck for other reasons. The people who defend Glenn Beck from the accusations of the above groups include people who love Israel, like Danny Danon. Thanks, David, for challenging me to do the research. An informed support is much more intelligent than being uninformed on either side of the controversy.
55. Re the huge protests in Israel
John ,   Alaska   (08.16.11)
I don't know if YNet will publish this, but I wanted to recommend a recent article by Sarah Honig on this issue. You can look her up on Google, and I recommend reading with a critical eye. It was enlightening for me.
56. Big, big mistake for Israel to align with such a hated man.
Mea   (08.16.11)
Listen, I am conservative politically and I spend a great deal of time in Israel and involved in Israeli organizations. I do work for ultra right and hard left. I also know lots of Israelis in the middle. It is a mistake for Israel to allow this nutcase to use the holy city as a entertainment venue delivering bigotry. Because that IS what Beck delivers. He has not a clue about the mindset of the protestors. He is an ignorant blowhard non academic. America prides itself on it's entertainer politicians. Israel has prided itself on academic approaches to resourcing around social challenges. Now you want this absolute simpleton arse to come on board for Israeli hasbara like some ignorant hillbilly? This is the worst idea since Arafat and probably just as dangerous. Israel is striving to retain the support of the American Jewish voter and now they see the Knesset allowing this A HOLE permission to use the Kotel like a Nascar tailgate party? Whomever allowed this event to take place should be deported. I'll tell you, Jerusalem MUST get rid of this latest stinking mayor, Birkit--he thinks the Kotel is Disneyland for Christians. Disgusting to see what has happened in the last few years, really, a tragedy..
57. Leo #37
shlomo ,   USA   (08.16.11)
Sorry Leo, but I am definitely not a leftist. I am a centrist and I happen to be part of the Defense establishment for over 35 years. Evangelicals cozy up to us Jews because they believe that THEIR Messiah will come only when all of us move to Israel and accept Jesus Christ as savior, something this Jew will never do, not even under threat of harm.
58. SOROS &The radical left is financing the protests
Rosie   (08.16.11)
NIF received large sums from George Soros. They have used these funds to help Israel's enemies. Soros and NIF want to destroy Israel as it is. The NIF announced on their website that they are funding current socialist protest. These protests in this format is alien to Israeli affairs: Social Justice - it is an alien implant in Israel. The radical left wants to topple the gov't of PM Netanyahu. Please everyone do some research, it is available all over. Gleen Beck is correct. Please don't be STUPID and close minded.
59. There is a husing problem
Rosie   (08.16.11)
but this protest is not about the problem. It is about destruction of Israel as we know it. Why is Soros and the New Israel Fund involved? What is their mission? Yes, there is a problem but we don't need the enemies of Israel involved in the solution. What a shame on the citizens of Israel that follow all these radicals blindly!!! Wake up!!!
60. He's Mostly Right
Aharon   (08.16.11)
I think he went a little too far with the Islamic extremists are behind the Israeli protests unless you consider Meretz to be an Islamic extremist group. However, he is right in that most of the people in this protest are demanding to return to the old days when Israel was a poor, Socialist country with 400% inflation. Yes, that is the Israel we all want to go back to. (Laugh)
