1. Can we see this ?
Nathan Rai ,   Bangalore   (01.16.12)
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country/region/city they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness: Nation % Muslim United States 1.0% Australia 1.5% Italy 1.5% Norway 1.8% Canada 1.9% China 2.0% At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs: Nation % Muslim Denmark 2.0% United Kingdom 2.7% Germany 3.7% Spain 4.0% Thailand 4.6% From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves β€” along with threats for failure to comply. (United States). Nation % Muslim Switzerland 4.3% Philippines 5.0% Sweden 5.0% The Netherlands 5.5% Trinida and Tabago 5.8% France 8.0% At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons). Nation % Muslim Guyana 10.0% India 13.4% Israel 16.0% Kenya 10.0% Russia 15.0% After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: Nation % Muslim Ethiopia 32.8% At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare: Nation % Muslim Bosnia 40.0% Chad 50.1% Lebanon 59.7% From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels: Nation % Muslim Albania 70.0% Malaysia 60.4% Qatar 77.5% Sudan 70.0% After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide: Nation % Muslim Bangladesh 83.0% Egypt 90.0% Gaza 98.7% Indonesia 86.1% Iran 98.0% Iraq 97.0% Jordan 92.0% Morocco 98.7% Pakistan 97.0% Syria 90.0% Tajikistan 90.0% Turkey 99.8% United Arab Emirates 96.0% 100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' β€” the Islamic House of Peace β€” there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: Nation % Muslim Yemen 99.9% Afghanistan 100.0% Saudi Arabia 100.0% Somalia 100.0% Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons
2. Israel delegitimizes Israel
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.16.12)
...and no amount of PR will change that.
3. bds is working

4. Let's not confuse delegitimization with criticism
P   (01.16.12)
Too often criticism of Israeli policies is lumped with antisemitism. The same has occurred with deligiitmization. By conflating legitimate criticism of Israeli settlement policy or opposition to the anti-Arab agenda of the far right, to being anti-Israel, Israel contributes to its own deligitimization.
5. Stuff Them
Zivron   (01.16.12)
A lot are for the less powerful and see the Palestinians of deserving a state as proposed in 1937 the partition to save many Jews.It remains sinister that the Arabs representing Islam a religion of mercy did not offer the Jews something an area viable for women children elderly and unwell on a massive scale . Most Arabs would accept eventually the 1947 lines of the UN partition plan but the hatreds and viscious cycle and most the Genocide of Jews by nazism means sooner or later the Sampson scenario. for the land masses Jewish and Islamic as the least worse scenario with the peoples evacuated in the hundreds of millions.
6. Stuff Them
Zivron   (01.16.12)
We only need a million Jews to fix the barbarism of history and minimize hurt to the uninformed and ignorant. The settlements don't help. It's time to sow thermonuclear mines like the DMZ in Korea throughout Israel and prepare the scenarios to obliterate barbarian past Nazi supporters the Islamic barbarbarianhood we remember its history .
7. Wasn't the woman on the Flotilla? How can you
Edithann ,   USA   (01.16.12)
say she lied?...Were you there, was anyone else on that flotilla there to contradict her? 'including a heated confrontation with a woman who had participated in the flotilla and came to the campus in order to raise funds for the next sail. ' I would certainly take her word for what she endured..then yours working for Hasbara....You've got to be kidding? This whole article is a joke.... There is more anti Israel feeling then you can possibly imagine...and it'll take more then a few kids to change what we see Israel doing every day.... TATA TATA
8. Pride in Israel won't come from more Shlichim
Chaim   (01.16.12)
If you want young liberal Jews to identify with Israel, start acting in conformity with their modern beliefs. Negotiate for peace in a serious manner, end the obscene amounts of racism and gender discrimination, fight public corruption tooth and nail, and end the convoluted system of protekzia in the country. We don't want abstract discussions about "Israel's right to exist" - this is a philosophical question. More importantly, it is settled question. Israel exists - now what will you make of it?
9. So, propaganda...
Trev ,   Canada   (01.16.12)
10. What difference will the number of shlichim make?
Daniel ,   Jerusalem   (01.16.12)
When the government and Knesset keep passing undemocratic and racist laws, when settlers burn mosques with impunity and with assistance of Knesset members, and when settlers attack the IDF and other Jews? Send thousands of shlichim- it won't change the world's opinion. The world IS RIGHT!
11. follow Money Trail
joe sombrero ,   usa   (01.16.12)
The solution is follow the money trail and expose Soros Saudi Arabia eu uk Ect they must be exposed.
12. when people see an israel
JL   (01.16.12)
that does not care for its own citizens..why would they feel any pride?...truth is israel doesnt care for its poorer sectors of society..fat cat government officials..skyrocketing prices...housing for the rich...religious coersion...who cares if tel aviv is the number one gay center of the world....yeah...its all hunky dory in israel...thats it! more schlicim on the taxpayers dime..brilliant
13. Bravo Sharansky ; PM, FM, etc dead wood
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (01.16.12)
Israel high offices are so arrogant Ignorant and laid back, that they seem blind to the amount damage done by the poisonous PR against Israel, in general and University Campuses , trade unions, Church establishment and socialist groups. Many opportunities are allowed to go by without any effort to use them, espescially enlightening the leaders of establishment abroad. Sir Martin Gilbert's book In Ishmael's house, properly presented abroad would have highlighted treatment world can expect at Muslim hands, moderate at that, would have opened a few eyes.
14. Good intentions wrong emphasis
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot   (01.16.12)
Emissaries will not be able to help much even if they spend their full time on explanations as they can only deal with a specific locality. The money spent for emissaries, I feel, could be better spent on large scale (TV, radio, and news agencies) PR showing the real situation in the Palestinian /Islamic world. Such as support for terrorism and acts of terrorism, their un-acceptance of other religions, their treatment of women, their use of in-human punishments from Shaira law they will use, to say nothing of the Iranian threat to the world. I strongly fell explaining ourselves is much less effective than showing their supporters what it is they are supporting.
