Romeu kiss, kiss, thank you very much (I know that sounds better in portuguese) ;-) I am most impressed with the fact that you took the time to learn and to find your way to a different view of Israel. Wishing you all the best and every good wish for success.

From Israel with love to you and the people of Portugal.

Saw the song on you tune "Only Israel". She explains Israel's point of view better than any state official can. Also saw "We con the World" on the Turkish flotilla. Israelis should work harder on their PR. God bless Israel!

DON'T BELIEVE ALL YOU HEAR .DA PROPAGANDA. EDUCATE THYSELF AND FORM YOUR OWN OPINION.

in the face of all the ill-tempered and miserable things we read and hear about Israel both in the press, media and in forums. Thank you for standing up for us. Please come and visit us in Israel. You will be accepted and treasured here.

I agree with # 1. Jews dont need to be liked by goin. Find your tribe and dedicate your love to them. Leave us alone. jews are a special people and self-sufficient. You are quite irrelevant to us.

Quite a disgusting remark you made. Olim like you, with remarks like that, we do not need. Exactly the sort of attitude that encouages anti-Semitism. titbayesh l'cha!

Sarah, you really are a vile, bigoted creature. Someone who makes me feel ashamed to be Israeli. Perhaps it's you who should run off and find your own tribe, cause to be perfectly honest - we don't want the likes of you in ours.

I am disgusted with your both of your comments, especially Sarah B who I see posting on ynet news defending Israel's rights and beliefs frequently. If it wasn't for many righteous gentiles during the Holocaust there wouldn't have been so many survivors today. The one thing that Israel needs is allies and friends and try to play the person that doesn't need help is coward like and from you're comments pretty big-headed. As I was reading this article I was hoping to see comments of people wishing him thanks for the support but instead I see comments of hate towards him. Disgusting

or not.It is also quite irrelevant for me what kind of olim you may need.

Leave you alone? Brave talk after billions from us taxpayers every year.

further since when are u the spokesperson for the Jews? What is this use of "we" that I see in your subject line?

Principles and morals must always come before material gain.

The type of arrogant zionist supremicist talk you use leads to more resistance and hostility towards israel and israel supporters. Please come back down to earth and learn how to be a humble (and friendly) human being like the rest of us.

While Israel should never rely on the good will of anyone, it never hurts to have sincere friends, as the author appears to be. False friends, who try to get us to cede our land and endanger us, on the other hand, are worse than enemies. Israel needs to get the truth out to more people. We could have hundreds of millions more sincere friends.

And those # 1 & 9 are disgusting

Not Sarah B's post, but that of an imposter.

I have never liked the term 'self-hating Jew'. It is a worn-out cliche telling us more about the people who use it than anything else . However, in your case, I will make an exception.

Como Judeu e Sionista, muito obrigado Romeu. Vocè es um irmao de Israel! Benvindo. In English: As a Jew and Zionist, I am very grateful Romeu. You are a brother to Israel. #1 and #9: how sad to see that we have people like you in our ranks, at a time when we need friends like Romeu more than ever.

Please find your tribe and slide down the drain with them. Keep "goin" and you'll eventually find them.

people.

Thank you Romeu for your incredible support. As you can tell, an overwhelming amount of people (aside from #1 and #9) support your article and your activism. The best thing to take away from #1's and #9's comments is this: Those comments, and the reactions to those comments by the majority of the readers, really highlights the freedom of speech in Israel and the spirit of Israelis. Israelis are free to say whatever they want....But when hate speech is spewed, Israelis will rally to drown out this type of inflammatory discourse. #1 and #9 speak for noone but themselves...the rest of us speak for the Israeli public.

from my tax dollars are the leeches of the West Bank and Gaza who expect the world to support them and all they do is plan terrorist acts agains innocent people. There is my two cents. Go find yourself a job and stop begging for money.

Those are stupid comments from #1 and #9. We need all the friends we can get. I am grateful to people like this author.

poster that I have read for more than a year, would write post #9. That's the danger in having an identifiable moniker...anyone can use it as their own.

who stands shoulder to shoulder with us and all of Israel. Thank you.
