with whom Tzipi Livni allied herself with. And see the reason why her compatriots got disgusgted by this utter loser-traitor...

along with dozens of other countries get a free pass from these nitwits but Israel simply can't be tolerated as a sovereign entity..Anti-Zionism is so much more palatable than "old fashioned " anti-Semitism-but the difference is indistinguishable... sad but true....

Merchant of Venice is a hateful antisemitic play like Emma. It is shocking that Habima are presenting the play.

Boycott British Theater due to occupation of Falklands, N Ireland and atrocities committed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"Disgraceful" I always valued english actors directors and authors as being superior in talent. But I guess intelligence and talent don't apply here.

She's a "Palestinian human rights activist" which means Israelis have no right to perform. Only people she deems politically correct can perform. So I'm wondering if she interviews and does background checks on every performing artist in Britain to determine if they meet her criteria? Who gave her this right? Extremely disappointed in Emma Thompson for joining a witch hunt and ignoring how Palestinians communicate through terror.

Shameful.

London is one of most important Arab Cities

All you upbringing did absolutely NO good!!! Your poor parents must be spinning in their graves. How could you? If you do not agree with Israel's policies there are more ways of doing it than this. All your old friends from Habonim are disgusted with you. I will NEVER go and see or read another thing written by you.

Israel dismantled all settlments in Gaza and the thank you is terror and rockets. They don't want peace..they want to annihilate the jewish people and the British are complicit with their support of terror.

I guess you simply didn't pay very close attention to what happened when Israel left the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon. Most people would appreiate those gestures. Not so with the Arabs...they simply move their artillery and missile launchers and indiscriminately fire from the new frontlines. Peace will only come when the Arabs decide to build their own society rather than dismantling another.

They're all getting slammed by their good Euro friends, the polite intellectuals of Parisian and London cafe society. GOOD! About time these pie in the sky dreamers had their ass handed to them by reality.

Share sovereignty in London, return their historical heartland to the noble peasant who lived their tribally before them, then of course Israel will do the same. You Brits can't even give up the Falkland Islands for crying out out loud! Viva Argentina!!!

At Oscar contest , period.

Shariah law is ever expanding in the U.K., and not only in Londinistan. It will be interesting to see how the brain dead liberal poseurs, like Emma Thompson, who condemn Israel, like shariah law. They won't be able to dodge it much longer.

And examine their recent and distant history. England has been perhaps the most disgraceful nation in world history: one of bloodshed, rape, violence and greed. They need to make amends with themselves and mend their karmic debt to the world...along with returning ALL stolen goods, gold, money and land to the peoples whom they pillaged it from. With a long, weeping note of apology. Until then, not a single word coming from even the most decent English citizen means a damn thing. The VAST majority of todays conflicts are the result of england's brilliant land-carving scheme; From the African continent to the Middle east, England defined impossible borders, backstabbed its inhabitants and murdered scores. What a bunch of pompous thugs they are. Even during WW2 as American troops lived in England to fight by their sides, english newspapers and magazines leveled horribly prejudiced articles and comics against the Americans, painting them as fools, mongrels and idiots. No shame, these English. THE STILL HAVE A LAW ON THE BOOKS THAT STATES NO JEW IS ALLOWED TO OWN PROPERTY (LAND OR DWELLING) IN ENGLAND!!!!! They refuse to remove it!!!! England is a disgrace and an insult to humanity. They can keep their stupid little 'rose' theater and go to hell with it.

Used to be Lieberman... Relative of Avigdor? Naahhh:-)

Do you all expect something better than this Anti-Semitic action from these fake "British Artists"? Their Kingdom has done a great numbers of acts of Robbery, Piracy and Unlawful Conquests that was / is performed around the world by "Her Majesty Navy" , among these acts a lot of infamous attacks against the Jewish People. Let's see some clear examples: 1) -The Brits had STOLEN a large piece of land of the Mandate of Palestine in the Mid-East, and have given it as a gift to the Hashemites (A Saudi Tribe), instead to Partition it between the Jews and the Arabs, as was ORDERED by the League of Nations. This stolen land is now the Kingdom of JORDAN, an "Artificial Country". 2)The UK also prevent the Jews from disembarking in Palestine in the midst of the WWII, sending our brothers to die in the Holocaust, or to drown in the sea. (Remember the typical case of the S.S. Struma or the S.S. Patria among several other vessels). That treacherous behaviour was to assure the friendship of the Arabs, and the flowing of the OIL to their country. 3) - At the very end of WWII, and to improve their relationship with the Arabs, the UK have sent back to CYPRUS and to GERMANY a lot of Jewish Holocaust's Survivors, that were seeking shelter in Palestine. These poor Jews were delivered to CONCENTRATION CAMPS, under the vigilance of the UK Army, a BIG SHAME for the Brits. You all could find the proof of this horrible fact in the Books of History, and in a lot of Websites, only "Google" it. -This was the "Gratitude" of the Brits to the Jewish People that fought bravely in the Allies armies against Germany ! 4) - Regarding their actions of PIRACY in the South Atlantic Ocean, the British Navy have occupied by the use of force the Argentinian Islas Malvinas - ( Falklands, as they Re-name the Islands) in the 19th century (1883), with the aid of the US Navy too (Always they dear "Allies" !). Immediatly after this despicable attack, they have performed an "Ethnic Cleansing", incarcerating and expulsing the Argentinian Citizens from the Islands, replacing the proper owners by "imported" British People. It was a COWARD use of force against a pacific people. And, so far,despite several resolutions of the UN, the UK doesn't wish to discuss with Argentina this blatant case of Robbery, Piracy and Ethnic Cleansing. 5) - And the worst, RIGHT NOW they are STEALING the Oil, Natural Gas, Fisheries and resources that lies in the waters around the Islands. Under the International Laws regarding Territorial Waters, these highly valuable resources rightfully belong to Argentina. There are dependable International Documentation that proves all the facts mentioned above. There is indeed a very long list of the felonies that the UK has committed around the world, since several centuries ago to nowadays. Regarding this ridiculous boycott, these thugs ARE 3rd. CLASS ARTISTS, and they are plainly a bunch of ANTI-SEMITES - And they dare to give advice to the Jewish People regarding the Status of Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomrom)? - Come on ! - The Jews were living there since more than 3000 years ago, when at these Historical Times they were a bunch of Barbarian Celtic Tribes. Moreover, they DO NOT say a word regarding the massacre in Syria, or the murdering and maiming of SEVERAL THOUSANDS people in Sudan ! Sadly for this past time powerful Empire, in the not so distant future the Seal of the Queen will be replaced by the "Crescent Moon", the Justice System will be replaced by the "Sharia Law", and your capital will be renamed "Londonistan". - What a pitty !! Good luck with your fate, British People. AM ISRAEL CHAI.

I, an American Jew, will be in the delightful State of Israel the beginning of June to deliver an academic presentation which I submitted because of the hypocrisy of the European academics in boycotting Israeli scholars. I decided that if they were going to shut out the Israelis then I would go to Israel to participate in their conferences. I'll do my best to support Israeli theatre arts while I am there to compensate for this newest ridiculous boycott which everyone knows is an attempt to delegitimize the State of Israel. Where are all these boycotters when it comes to other nations murdering their populations by the thousands if not millions.

I am with you my friend... the nanny is OUT!

His real name was Sheikh el Sbir, the most famous palestinian writer. He was shamelessly annexed by british colonialists.

THE globe ought ban any artistic group that allows holocaust denial particularlyTurkey to be consistent.

...Anti-semite crowd. Not a fresh thought and certainly not a fresh bit of flesh amongst them. Wether it the year would be 1166, 1932 or 1947; even unto 2013. There is no need for costumes or cues. They have their parts down from the first curtin lifted to the final bow. So. What brings them all together? Socialism. Either the Red or Black format will due.

Are the Brits really want to tell us about colonialism? What a bunch of hypocrites. They are responsible for 99% of the mess in the middle east. If they had applied the mandate like they were supposed to, there would not be a war today and million of Jews would not have perished in the Shoah. So please like we say here in the US "STFU".
