31. Down with Death chants up with rule of lae
Yves ,   Haifa   (03.30.12)
I don't want to hear or believe the state should tolerate incitements to violence of any kind and to any one. I strongly disagree with the tit for tat argument as it only lowers our standards to the lowest and most ignorant. Only respect from rule of law and it's enforcement, (israel impotent police, are you listening?) will ensure a civil society now. Long term intelligent planning (are you listening impotent Knesset?) will keep it for a long time.
32. Global shame? Really?
Trev ,   Canada   (03.31.12)
At this point I've come to the conclusion that Israel really doesn't care what the world thinks. Any criticism is anti-semitic and Arabs simply are not people. Might is right!
33. Uphold Freedom of Expression!!
Alex Beck ,   Zurich, Switzerland   (03.31.12)
I fail to see what's so wrong about voicing opinions in public. Nobody was actually harmed by the chants and in any case, since when does the truth need suppressing?? Long Live Israel!!!
34. Trev #32 partially correct
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.31.12)
It is true we don't care what the rest of the world thinks. They keep on insisting that we are evil if we refuse to die for their stupid opinions. They are willing to bet our lives on their perceptions of the Middle East - even though 99% of them have never been here and it's our lives they are betting. We are accused of apartheid - when the fact is that we not only do not, nor have we ever had any sort of vestige of apartheid and that all of our neighboring countries that have made the accusations practice a form of apartheid that makes the South African version pale in comparison. We are constantly accused of racism when we are one of the most liberal countries with a no government supported racism whatsoever. In short we have been accused of so many crimes that are simply not factual that yes what the rest of the world thinks, says or does - doesn't matter anymore.
