31. Israel Appreciation Week
Morty ,   Canada   (02.26.12)
In Canada, IAW has been appropriately rebranded as Israel Appreciation Week. This is what our University students are increasingly celebrating.
32. I cannot help but wonder
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.26.12)
Why do we never see "Free Women from their Burqas Week?" Why is their no "Let Saudi Women Drive Week?" How about "No More 'Honor' Killing Week?" Or "No More Stoning Women to Death Week?" Puts all that youthful "enthusiasm" into perspective, doesn' it? It's just a new take on old-fashioned anti-Semitism. Completely worthy of complete disregard. Which is precisely what these campus idiots deserve.
33. #31, A good idea, but the fascists spoil it for Israel.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.26.12)
34. Edithann - people like you make Irael's case stronger
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (02.26.12)
Your words: You should be frightened...the world is closing in on dear little Isreal. clearly indicates that you are against a Jewish state. And this shows the senseless hatred against Jews from people like you and this is why intelligent and peaceful people understand that Jewish nation need a state of their own in the ancestral land of the Jews. Thanks again for your bigotry. It makes us stronger.
35. There goes EdithAnn again - the American settler
brian cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (02.26.12)
Yea yea...we've heard it before from her and her types: illegal occupation settlers who stole a continent from its rightful owners, built their illegal settlements, and slaughtered the natives and forced the survivors onto "reservations". Edithann is another smug, American settler squatting on stolen lands, yet ready to blame everybody else but herself. Hide behind your crimes, Edithann. Or maybe you're ready to set an example and give your illegal house back to native Americans and move back to Europe where you came from. We Jews, on the other hand, do indeed come from here and this is our homeland. You? You're a phony.
36. Anti-semitism is alive and well in the US---
Ezra ,   USA-ISRAEL   (02.27.12)
People just wear good veils. Racism and sexism are also alive and well. When I discovered my Jewish roots and made teshuva, I lost the vast majority of my childhood friends. I actually had no idea I had grown up with such a pack of @$$holes. To put it mildly. Most people are anti-Semitic: it's a conditioning that has never stopped. American southerners are among the worst racists and anti-Semites you'll ever come across. And actually, the east coast libtards are right behind them with California a very close third place. After over a decade of Jew hatred tossed at me and my family, from ALL walks of life (if you could call it that) that I FULLY UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE MISTRUST OF NON JEWS AND THE MEANING BEHIND THE PHRASE: "Shleck the goys". Indeed: they simply aren't trust worthy and the average "intelligence" and reasoning processes they possess make it not worth a damn to even consider for friendship (save for a tiny fragment). I will never trust a non-Jew for the rest of my days...not after what I've seen and experienced. Its disgusting and sub-human.
37. How to make a Joke of yourself????
tiki ,   belgium   (02.27.12)
Participate in Israel Apartheit Week = International SStudent SStupidity week! I used to be upset about it, but now I look at these ignorant idiots, running around, completely high with hate, holding up their usual banners with the usual slogans with the usual games of 'playing IDF soldier, and I think what a bunch of misguided, pathetic morons. Jewish students & Israeli newspapers should completely ignore them. You give them attention & news coverage, you give them power! Don't sink to their level!
38. Take heart, Sarah B
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (02.27.12)
The university of Paris just cancelled these same a** holes from using their university for cheap propaganda from these representatives on the 'invented people.'. Watch more universities do the same, no one wants to be the host of terrorists who're going down the toilet faster than diarrhea. At least the FBI can monitor those who support and attend these functions, easier to film for later references of terrorists.
39. deluded jews
bill ,   canada   (02.27.12)
israel is strongly disapproved of by canadian students in all universities the same is true all over the world the academic boycott reinforces anti israel ideas so sing and dance behind your walls keep up the big lie its all you have
40. That's about where we were...
Chuck ,   Dallas, TX   (02.27.12)
...50 years ago with maybe a larger percentage in the "Not interested in Anything.." category. I do think it's improving though. My teenage grandsons are more politically astute (and very conservative) than I was until I was 40.
41. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.27.12)
It's just a new take on old-fashioned anti-Semitism. It's convenient for the Jew-haters to focus on Israel, because Israel is the Jewish state. Perhaps someone needs to remind these American idiots of the raucous celebrations that took place in Gaza and in the West Bank (and in Arab towns in Israel) on September 11, 2001. Might take some of the spring out of their step.
42. #39 bill
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.28.12)
Couching your words with “all universities”, “all over the world”, etc, shows you are the one who is deluded. Read some history, not the garbage spewed by the arabs. Be careful though, as I assure you you will not like what you read.
43. # 29 Tomek ! unfortunately,the drug
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.28.12)
addicts in the colleges in the sixties,are the judges, and the college professors today.
44. To: No. 39
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.12)
Clearly you have never been to McGill or the University of Toronto. Israel enjoys strong support in both -- and they just happen to be the pre-eminent universities in Canada. More fool you.
45. 22
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (02.28.12)
Popular aren't you.Is this the ony site where posters answer your childish comments? "your running scared"shoul'd be-you are running etc. What about "stupids"?Over all not a bad attempt for an uneducated Arab.I bet that you dribble at the mouth when you post-from the excitement of being able to comment on a Jewish site.
46. If it wasnt for US support where would Israel be?
Milk D ,   USA/East Coast   (02.28.12)
Diplomatically, as well as militarily!!!!! Wake up Israelis. Alot and I do mean alot of Israelis assume that their government us just plain doing it all for them. WRONG..lets see where bibi RUNS and i mean haulsl a&& when he launches a strike on Iran. i already know that sentence in itself will probably make quite a few folks miffed. "run from what" " haul @&& to where"...well run from $5 gas. I myself will be amused..because Bibi and Barak just wont understand why their message wont get through to the US people who are gonna be getting gouged at the pump because of their miscalculation. So of course as is par for the course Bibi will throw up his hands and make statements like the US doesnt understand..(lets see how badly that tact fails) for i understand that unless Bibis statement say that their wont be $5,6,7 gas. He better hunker down because not AIPAC or J street etc. Will be able to mitigate the backlash.
47. To: Bad Assed Jew at No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.12)
Oh, I know. I get a very good laugh out of watching these so-called academic institutions (the unaccredited ones) falling all over themselves. The serious institutions of higher learning have cancelled all the hate-fests. Good to see that they are duly -- and most appropriately -- embarrassed.
48. To: No. 46
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.12)
If it wasn't for Israel having the good sense and the foresight to blow up the Osirac nuclear reactor in Baghdad in 1982, where would the United States be? Do you remember the Gulf War in 1991? Israel prevented Iraq from becoming a nuclear power. Just think of all the American servicemen and women that did NOT come home in body bags, and show a little gratitude. Besides, nothing the United States does is for free. Israel PURCHASES its military hardware from the United States. Think of all those people who are NOT out of work, thanks to Israel -- who pays its bills, by the way; not like the stinking sewers such as Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan that the United States pours billions of dollars into annually -- and for what? So that Pakistan can shield Osama bin Laden for a decade? Grow a brain, why don't you.
49. # 46 ! a nuclear Iran will bring up the
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.28.12)
price of a gallon of gas to $10,by forcing the saudis and the other oil producing neighbors to cut production,so,Iran will set the price of oil,as soon as Iran is in possession of the nuclear bomb,the genie is out,and Iran is in control.
50. # 46- Actually you have a point.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.12.12)
I didnt think of that. Thanks for making me see sense
