31. They really are
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.28.12)
A bunch of tiresome old has beens latching on and trying to take ownership of a cause...any cause that will get them some notoriety and publicity And it betrays a total disregard and indifference and a breathtaking lack of all the facts to appreciate and understand Israels side of this issue And for what are referred to as the Jewish Self Haters this is for whatever reason often not about Israel but about their personal hang ups... an expression of their complete rejection and contempt of Israel, Judiasm and the Jewish people Sadly all these people are doing are demeaning themselves to become objects of ridicule and derision and make no contribution whatsoever to the life and death issues of the Israel Palestine conflict which we all on both sides of the divide want to see resolved
32. Arttists ... Nobel
zibi ,   Paris - France   (11.28.12)
I can't understand all those crazy people, their hate for jews is so permanent, I can't stand all this fury anymore. God bless Israƫl and always win against all our enemies.
33. We don't need no thought control
Logic ,   Israel   (11.28.12)
All in all, they're just more dumb bricks in the wall.
34. Behold...the 21st century collaberationists
Steve   (11.28.12)
A veritable Who's Who of fifth columnists, communists, quislings, traitors, and Islamists who no longer relevant in their respective careers, have returned to their first love...Jew hatred. Most of them are marginalized in the US as extremists and crazy bottom feeding anarchists, however they are good reminders of the evil forces lurking out in the world.
35. Hypocrites
Jacobus ,   USA   (11.28.12)
So these "peace loving" "intellectuals" think it's OK to drop rockets on people?
36. Did they sign a letter to boycott Iran & Russia for helping
Alan ,   Canada   (11.28.12)
Syria killing 40 000 people?
37. Roger Waters
Russ ,   FT Laud, FL   (11.28.12)
I wish Roger Waters would act like a rock star and take a drug overdose.
38. Look who's talking.
Aviad ,   Holon, Israel   (11.28.12)
Hypocrites! the great britain was based on conquests and killed innocent inhabitants from each one of the occupied cities!
39. intellectuals against Israel
mark rosenberg ,   Israel   (11.28.12)
What a collection of anti-Semites and self-hating Jews. Their words are dust in the wind...sound and fury signifying nothing.
40. boycott israel ? never
dr daniel mostrel ,   paris france   (11.28.12)
an error about hessel , he is not a jew he is not a holocaust survivor and he is not a co writer of human rightds declaration
41. Israel needs more worthy enemies
sonia ,   london england   (11.28.12)
This is a sorry list of mediocre bores.....Loach and Leigh (a dysfunctional Jew from Manchester) make some of the worst films on the planet, both masters of anti-cinema and bitter, sour misanthropy. Roger Waters is a boring old fart who can only sing depressing dirges. And Chumpsky is another tedious ideological sourpuss. With enemies like these, Israel should be grateful. However, Israel is indeed a criminal rogue state violating the rights of Palestinians. The good news is that its days are numbered, so the Palestinians will just have to exercise sumud and stay cool until the Zionists all go to meet their Hashem in La La land.
42. #29 Butros
Non-Jew ,   England   (11.28.12)
Seems you know about as much on the subject as they do - or have the same racist views. They are certainly not wise, in fact they seem remarkably ignorant of anything except their own sense of self- importance.
43. hypocrites!!!
louise ,   winnipeg canada   (11.28.12)
Why are they not demonstrating against the cluster bombs falling on children in Syria?
44. anti Israeli jews
Dubravko Janjetovic ,   Dublin, Ireland   (11.28.12)
There is nothing more disturbing to me than to see jewish people supporting boycott of Israel and Judea and Samaria. After 2000 years of Jewish persecution, so many have forgot it so quickly or never bother to learn its history. If there was no Israel today, same does noble prize lecturers and human rights activists would turn against them too.
45. Anti-semitism almost a requirement for Nobel Peace Prize
Sidney ,   USA   (11.28.12)
Did any signers of this letter ever do anything to advance peace?
46. out o
saraina   (11.28.12)
dont mind them,what pen me is coting the word from Mandela.there idiot ant-Israel,let them go to sriya and fit if they can.
47. how many letters did they sign against the 22 Arab
Frank ,   Los Angeles   (11.28.12)
dictatorships, autocracies and pseudo democracies? Sick people they are!
48. Hey, Roger...perform a rock concert in Gaza
(11.28.12)
Oh, wait. You can't. They don't tolerate Western rock and roll. And don't bring Alice Walker. She's a woman. They'd stone her faster you can say "The Color Purple".
49. Cut them off from Israel, Please
Sobieski ,   Hamburg Germany   (11.28.12)
Those of them who are self hating jews, take their israeli citizenship away, pleeaaase!
50. no. 22 - that's the other thing they are guilty of
Shaul R   (11.28.12)
- exploitation of traumatized senile old people in another cynical attempt at the classic antisemitic trope of holocaust victim inversion.
51. Waters - Another PRICK in the wall
Rotem ,   Israel   (11.28.12)
52. Roger Waters horrified?
A ,   Belgium   (11.28.12)
Gee maybe he should play a few "freebee" shows in Ramallah and Gaza City. Not that he couldn't afford it with the rip-off prices he charges to see the travesty called "The Wall"( 74.50 euros to sit in a muddy Belgian field, for example). Although when it comes to playing a fascist dictator, he was born for the part, a real natural. Maybe he could invite a few Jews to sit in the front row so he can spit in their faces, just like the good ol' days. Right, Rog?
53. Rager Waters has become, comfortably DUMB
Rotem ,   Israel   (11.28.12)
54. Ynet, doing what it does best...giving voice to native
Edithann ,   USA   (11.28.12)
lunatics...Everyone is mentally ill who isn't an Israeli supporter... Too funny....ICC here you come! TATA
55. MR. CHOMSKY, THE KINGDOM OF GAZA AWAITS YOUR ARRIVAL
Israeli Texan   (11.28.12)
TAKE YOU'RE 'PEACE PALS' WITH YOU....YOU ARE A STAIN TO JUDAISM!
56. Excelent point
Sebastian ,   Argentina   (11.28.12)
I'm wondering if this leftists can't imagine what could happen if Israel do something like that. What could they say about it?
57. Cynthia McKinney participates
Stephen in New York   (11.28.12)
in this hyper-hypocritical charade. Need I say more?
58. They should be horrified...
Steven ,   Seattle, WA   (11.28.12)
by the 40,000+ dead in Syria. Total and utter hypocrisy. They are the true war mongers. Shame on them.
59.  hateful bunch
pink floyd ,   usa   (11.28.12)
the day hamas stops the aggression toward israel is the day the pals get peace and properity, btw israel is the num 1 supplier of humanitarian and energy aid to gaza. wonder if these guys know that, me thinks they are cloaking their anti semitism by attempting to appear sympathetic to pals. Dont believe it for a minute!! looks like someone needs an education afterall.
60. Stuff for brains
BK ,   USA   (11.28.12)
These useful idiots are sickening--short-sighted, blind to any atrocities committed by the scum they romanticize. Shameful! Where are all the Hollywood Jews to counter this nonsense? I will tell--up the butts of this Eurotrash.
