1. Thank You Glenn Beck
J1 ,   Earth   (08.24.11)
2. Schadenfreude!
(08.24.11)
I can't stop my ROFLMAO at seeing Ynet sucking of its sour grapes for Beck correctly outing the traitors. Btw, the "300.000" proved to be a meager 65.000 of nothing nationwide. I love it!
3. The Marxist Obamabots in a hatefest!
Thomas ,   USA   (08.24.11)
The Leftist American media is in absolute hateful frenzy because of Beck. The open war on Israel by the American Marxist Jewry, Jstreet, Soros, N.Y. Times and assorted Haaretzniks, their unabashed hatred is on a par with the worst Nazi times. I was already alive back in E. Eu. in those fateful times, so I can attest it.
4. R. Akiva thought Bar Kochba Maschiah
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.11)
5. many thanks to beck
(08.24.11)
a true and genuine supporter of jews and their jewish homeland...so different than usa jews who care nothing for israel and are completely, mostly the young, disassociated from the jewish homeland. there is not an ounce of support in a liberal american jew as opposed to the wonderful support in this non jewish wonderful man.
6. Glenn won't blind side you.
Pasquinel ,   Canada   (08.24.11)
Lord willing I too will someday visit the land of Abraham Issac and Jacob as my allegiance is to Israel's G_D and his chosen people. May G_D bless and give His peace and protection to Israel. Thank you for being who you are.p.
7. We must be kind to our true friends.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.24.11)
The large majority of Jews must counterbalance the nutty American liberal Jews who still support Obama and donate huge sums of money to his reelection campaign. We must be kind to our true friends like Glenn Beck. We must show our friends, and most of all ourselves, that most Jews are sane. Most Jews, unlike liberal Jews, don't beg our enemies to like us and revile our friends. Most Jews appreciate our friends and would like to deal far more harshly with our enemies and false friends. Despite his liberal background, Dershowitz has the courage to support Glenn Beck. I applaud him for it.
8. WELL SAID DERSHEWITZ
chris ,   wales   (08.24.11)
I Liked this bit,and I agree with it>> Dershowitz added, "I certainly admire Beck's decision to go to Israel far more than the decision of so many so-called artists and intellectuals who call for a boycott against the Jewish state without even bothering to go there and see for themselves." "I welcome the support of religious Christians who love Israel for religious reasons. I abhor the ignorant and misguided efforts of other Christians, such as Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu, who misuse their faith against the Jewish state," Dershowitz noted.
9. Way to go Beck!
Steve ,   San Diego   (08.24.11)
I'm with you.
10. You disappoint me, Alan!
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (08.24.11)
As an academic, and a Harvard professor, Alan Dershowitz should stand up for common sense, rational thinking, realism and, above all, the truth. He should NOT stand in the same corner as these blind, ideological Tea Party extremists, who are completely detached from reality. Are those right-wing extremist parties from Europe also going to take part in this event? Guess so! Despite the fact that they have their roots in neo-Nazi movements; who cares? Israel can deal with its enemies just fine. But who's going to protect it against its "friends"?
11. Beck should stay out of Israeli politics
Stephen ,   Washington, D.C.   (08.24.11)
I am a goy and I'm proud to support Israel. If Israelis want to protest against Netanyahu, so be it, and if they want to support Netanyahu, so be it. Goyim have no place criticizing the internal politics of Israel. Israel has the right to non interference. Beck is a disgrace.
12. DERSHOWITZ AND BECK
Isralove ,   montreal Canada   (08.24.11)
When a left wing but loyal supporter like Dershowitz praises Beck's motives, no one should doubt that this rally will have amazing world wide reviews and suppport and perhaps change many minds from Left to right in America.
13. Who cares what Dersh thinks?
Blewitbig ,   NY, USA   (08.24.11)
Would be funny if it weren't so sad...why should anyone care whether the utterly insignificant Dershowitz is willing to tolerate Glenn Beck? Beck is infinitely more important. Dersh is little more than a wack-job leftist with some residual Jewish guilt...
14. Beck doing his part to increase US hatred in mideaset
Linda ,   USA   (08.24.11)
Best time & location to show US submission to Jewish occupation and make 100s of 1000,000s of Muslims to hate US even more (all because of Jewish occupation of Palestine).
15. Israel is a nation-state, it is a nation-state of a people,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.24.11)
of the Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish people, and is here by right: historic, ethcial and legal right. Historically - due to the fact that Erertz Israel (Land of Israel), as the center of which is Jerusalem/Zion, has been the home of this people for more than 4,000 years and the cradle of Jewish civilization: Judaism. Ethically - Israel is the manifestation of the universally accepted right of all peoples to national self-determination and independence, this one being that of the Jewish people. Legally - The Balfour Declaration, 1917; San Remo Decisions, 1920; League of Nations Decisions, 1922; and, UN resoluitons, 1947 and 1949 have come to recognize the right of the Jewish people to its home in Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) and all are now part of the corpus dubbed 'international law'. To single out the Jewish people and to question its right, therefore, is a form of racism, anti-Jewish racism at that. Let us keep this in mind when we encounter those, Muslim-Arabs and otherwise, who refuse to accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people, shall we...??!!
16. Welcome Glenn Beck
DavidM ,   USA   (08.24.11)
Glenn Beck should be welcomed in Jerusalem. At a time when universities allow Israeli speakers to be shouted down and boycotts have become a fashion statement, he has stood firm and refused to back down from his support for Israel.I would take one Glenn Beck over a thousand Jimmy Carters.
17. Idiots.
George ,   usa   (08.24.11)
Beck is a sinking ship in the U.S. Why would anyone want to ally themselves with a sinking ship?
18. Beck's support ,honest and open
RayS ,   N.H. USA   (08.24.11)
As the opposite of many prominent Jewish "leaders" (who undermine Israel with their great care not to be too much in favor of Israel -sadly mainly "Reform") Glenn Beck has long be an active defender of Israel and Jews in General. He NEVER ducks when Israel is under assault. It is bizaar that those who attack him are ofter the same ones who are silent when enemies of the USA and Israel perform terrible act although they are Jewish. It doesn't make sense.
19. A demoniacal sect among us
Arthur   (08.24.11)
Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu (the tuti fruity guy), relics of the past; worthless components of human societies ; despicable and obnoxious, not only in thought, but apperance as well. Thogether, they managed to bring the word ' anti semite ' to a higher level. For this garbage received the Nobel prize ? or is it Price? with their killer friend arafat?. America , at this stage is a total failure; ridiculed abroad and at home, a disapointment to a credulous people who were fed a fake and stupid (it's the right word)messiah --- an Obama, A ridiculous Harvard " Enfant Prodige "
20. Glenn Beck
sas ,   israel   (08.24.11)
we have a friend, we do not have to agree with all that he says - but he certainly supports the state of Isael and it is important that his rally succeeds.
21. Beck is no friend of Jews.
Gary ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.24.11)
The "Beck phenomenon" is a classic case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." But here, by getting in bed with Beck, rightists and rightist MKs are sleeping with the enemy. If anyone is open-minded and willing to deal with reality, I urge you to go to YouTube and enter "Glenn Beck Jews Killed Jesus." You can see the underlying hatred for Jews that Beck reveals when he repeats that ancient canard that we killed Jesus. This dangerous charlatan who masquerades as a friend of Jews and Israel is, in fact, an anti-Semite. He promotes the work of a Nazi sympathizer who called Eisenhower "Ike the kike" and Kennedy's New Frontier the "Jew Frontier." He makes almost daily obscene Holocaust analogies. "Holocaust this." "Holocaust that." If EVERYTHING is the Holocaust, then NOTHING is the Holocaust. This is a very dangerous, evil man, full of hate for minorities AND for Jews. And the right embraces him. It is so frightening. This is a very, very dark, shameful experience for Israel.
22. Beck's "religion"
Gary ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.24.11)
For many years, the Mormon Church, of which Beck is a member, has baptized thousands of Jewish Holocaust victims and other deceased Jews posthumously in the International Genealogical Index, the official Mormon index of proxy baptisms of the dead. Mormons believe posthumous baptism by proxy provides an opportunity for deceased persons to receive the Gospel in the afterlife. Baptisms are performed in Mormon temples with members immersing themselves in a baptismal pool as proxies for others. They continued this practice even after they pledged numerous times to cease it. Talk about obscene!
23. Its About Time
Ken ,   Australia   (08.24.11)
If its not glen beck then who would it be, some one needs to come out and stand up for israel, to tell israelis from the outside , that we dont need to entertain the low IQ mentalities of the arabs, the only reason people become so perplexed by it, is because its so low grade thinking , you cant get your mind to think on that level. Its the only weapon that they have that shatters the jewish mind , which at the end of the day is there end game. Its like a parasite psychology on the same level as nazisms jew hatread. We need to stand up already its to long that we accept this barbarism of terror or what ever what you want to call it, its just low IQ stupidity as a defence to a nation that has the smartest people in the world, So lets be smarter and understand they have no answer to us, just a continuation of some kind of bizzare stone throweing mentality.
24. Glenn Beck is great
laz ,   monterrey   (08.24.11)
Thank you Glenn for being a great frien of Israel and the jewish people
25. Poor, poor Dershowitz
Yitz ,   Jerusalem   (08.24.11)
So addicted to attention and publicity, he will say anything to get his name in the media. His "sell by" date passed long, long ago. Embracing Beck should mark the end of his credible "contribution" to anything having to do with Jews or Israel. So pathetic and sad to have watched his deterioration over the years.
26. Thank you Glenn Beck.
Moshe ,   Israel.   (08.24.11)
A true friend of Israel!.
27. Jews don't need Glenn Beck to give their statement!
Yael Schlichting ,   Haifa - Israel   (08.24.11)
We always have our statement in our heart! We have a joint experience of G-d. We joined the union with G-d thousands of years ago. This union is our statement!
28. #10: Alan D. is an honest Israel loving
Israeli 2   (08.24.11)
leftist. As a lawyer he is tops. As a defender of Israel he is better because he got Nehsama. You don't know what Neshama is ...so look it up. Do not pride yourself with Ivy league intellectualism - it does not exist without a neshama. I too studied at Harvard and got a Ph.D. Just get off your rocker.
29. #21 & 22 Gary
Devorah   (08.24.11)
Yep. Some clown called me names for writing something similar to what you did. People are accepting Beck at face value without investigating the spiritual darkness in which he dwells.
30. Israel not been successful in justifying herself in Media
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (08.24.11)
so why don't let someone who are internationally well-known to introduce you to the world as a different Israel against what the majority bias media portray. while the arabs always win an upper hand in fighting the mass media war, winning lots of sympathy votes thru' media, Israel is loosing by the day in media warfare. so just sit back and someone who can bring out your potentials to help you. we all agree to disagree, because evangelicals see you as family. let the days ahead show you whether we are sincere. kindly don't judge us now. toda rabah. ynet, kindly post.
