10 Talkbacks for this article
1. Why is the world still obsessed with Israel?
Carol Sender ,   Israel   (10.25.11)
People are being slaughtered all over the Middle East, yet the world still focuses its gaze on Israel and wants to know how many apartments it is building. How sick is this??
2. Obvious!
Carl ,   USA   (10.25.11)
Sadly, the world is willing to believe such false accusations against Israel and reject the notion of Arab state terrorism despite facts to the contrary. How easy to sacrifice Israel in the hope of staving off terrorist attacks and enuring the flow of oil.
3. Amen!
Alex ,   Houston, TX   (10.25.11)
arab crimes on their own people are routinely ignored. a peaceful protest in arabia is when less than 100 people are killed. why the bias against Israel?
4. A modest suggestion
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (10.25.11)
In Britain there is a daily free newspaper,Metro,that is distributed by the million for people to read on public transport. It's probably too much to ask to expect Metro and similar newspapers to simply publish anything that the Israel government releases,but paying for a page or two near the front every now and again would be a relatively cheap way to get a message across to a wide audience. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
5. #1 business
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.26.11)
The "Palestinians" are big business. If there was peace, lots of people in UN organizations, NGOs and politics would be unemployed.
6. Everything the Arabs accuse us of they are doing
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.26.11)
They accuse us of racism and yes we are not perfect, there are people here that are racist, but compared to any other country they are a far smaller percentage than say the UK or Norway or the US. Compare us to the Arab and Muslim countries - the percentage is so minute that it literally staggers the imagination. That we are an apartheid nation - without a single apartheid law. Whereas the Muslim nations' laws a far worse than any that the South Africans ever even proposed. Lebanon's laws toward the 'Palestinians' are on par with Nazi laws against Jews. The list is endless.
7. Protexia is terrorism
Josh   (10.26.11)
8. And what about Russia?
Mark ,   Maale Adumim   (10.27.11)
Officers of the Russian army openly tell their former colleagues that moved to Israel: "You are stupid! You should do what we did in Chechnya" - meaning indiscriminate shooting that killed ten of thousand of civilians and deliberate destruction cities and villages. Nevertheless, the Russian federation - on par with old Soviet anti-West "realpolitik" - hypocritically accuses Israel of all imaginable sins, while committing much worth atrocities to the deafening silence of the no less hypocritical world.
9. #1
The world ,   Earth   (10.27.11)
What can I say? 3000 year old habits are hard to quit.
10. No 7
(10.27.11)
You obviously have no understanding of terrorism if you can equate it with protexia. Stop posting inane nonsense.
