1. Jews must be cognizant of anti-Semitism and racism
JJJ   (10.22.13)
Jews must be cognizant of anti-Semitism and racism and battle hate “every hour of every day,” Finance Minister Yair Lapid told attendees of the World Jewish Congress’ annual conference in Jerusalem on Monday
2. Our swimmers
Ros ,   Tel Aviv   (10.22.13)
Kol Hakavod Amit and our boys - now there is more incentive to win the gold - can you imagine what they have done if Hatikva had to be played!!!
3. Comedy in Dubai
tiki ,   belgium   (10.22.13)
"Don't mention the war" with John Cleese. Remember? This is the sequel!
4. Is this the country thats hosting the World Cup?
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.22.13)
Time and again I have demanded clarification from FIFA that people with Israeli Passports, have visited Israel or who profess to be Jewish will be permitted to come to see the games And not once so far have I had any response
5. Arabs have to face the fact that against Jews and Israel,
A ,   Belgium   (10.22.13)
they are losers...losers in wars (that they themselves start), losers in sports, losers in science and technology, losers in everything. Eventually, even their oil won't help them anymore. The biggest losers of course are the "palestinians", with their false proclamations of an "imaginary" homeland while keeping their hands out like beggars for money.
6. To Israels Swimming Team...
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.22.13)
Making waves! Well done!
7. Filthy stinking qatari racist bigots
NudNik69   (10.22.13)
8. Islam has Difficulty Accepting Jewish Independance
Zechariah   (10.22.13)
Islam in its original doctrine accepts Jews and others but only as second class citizens the Dhimmi people.Sometimes the conditions were good other times forced conversions . Mohammed praised Jewish Learning and Pious Jews .
9. Arab hypocrisy.
Norma   (10.22.13)
This is when the world gives backward and human right violation countries i.e. UAE and Qatar, the chance to host an international event. Qatar will be hosting the World Cup 2022. It's disgraceful, shameful and pathetic.
10. HaHa. His name says it all. Ivry :))
Shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (10.22.13)
11. Did anyone expect anything less that this from an uneducated
Brett L ,   JHB South Africa   (10.22.13)
arab peoples!! nazism and hitlerism has just moved from europe to the middle east. Wherever jews move en mass to get some peace and quiet, the nations of the world just simply wont allow it. I hate to say it but it is just a matter of time before we are wiped off the map. Just as hitler threatened and succeeded in murdering 6 million of our brothers and sisters, the arab world will succeed in doing the same. They hate us enough and we see this day in and day out!!
12. Israel
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (10.22.13)
Takes me back to the days when Jordan did not show Israel when it sang its song in the Eurovision Song Contest
13. They are so jealous of their Jewish/Israeli
Israeli 2   (10.22.13)
cousins. WOW! Congratulations. It is a great victory indeed. They ought to be so ashamed of themselves. They are cowards too.
14. FINA must sanction Qatar
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.22.13)
If Qatar doesn't want to recognize Israel that's their business, but they shouldn't be allowed to hold international competitions if they are going to discriminate. I hope FIFA will insist they don't discriminate against Israel at the World Cup.
15. As long as this joke is only on Qatar TV then I don't care
(10.22.13)
If the issue is that the Qutaris see these ridiculous white fklags then who care, let them continue t live in their denial world.
16. the lunatics thinks they can erase israel
CJK   (10.22.13)
they will go way before Israel when Israel goes, it will be the end of humanity, B"H.
17. LOVE IT! THAT SHOWS HOW IMMATURE
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (10.22.13)
they really are. Put us more on the spot light and we will see who is going to loose again and again. How is your civil war going in Syria? Not that good I see.
18. QATAR! THE INVENTORS OF GOLDEN
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (10.22.13)
toilet bowls, now we have another invention. Why are hosting swimming competitions? Isn't looking at half naked men and women prohibited by Islam?
19. The Arab Delusion
(10.22.13)
Unfortunately it would appear that imagining the world as they would wish it to be infects the greater part of the Arab world beyond the borders of middle east hence no progress in USA Kerry mediated peace talks.
20. Oh Sport! You Are Peace!
Prosecco   (10.22.13)
Only sick corrupted minds can think about organizing Football World Cup in this place. No developed home sports, no fans around, no Israelis allowed, all constucted by slaves...I recall that Moscow olympics were under boycott, you know what I mean?
21. The writer of this article is anti-Jewish-anti-Israel.
(10.22.13)
Saar Haas refers to the 'Star of David' in sanitized, which I never in my life heard of or read, to describe Israel's glorious and ancient symbol. He refers to the flag of Israel as "Blue hexagon with two horizontal blue stripes." Either a self-hating Jew or a Jew-hating Muslim.
22. SA sponsors of Terror.
Lechaiem ,   Holland   (10.22.13)
These people sponsor terror and pay everyone to shut up. They are worse than N@zies.
23. 4- Yes thanks to bribery and corruption
k ,   US   (10.22.13)
the most corrupt World Cup will be held in Quatar, however there alot of question marks if they are going to pull it off, they are using alot of slave labor from other countries from what I hear
24. Nazi Germany also had difficulties with balk athlets
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.22.13)
winning....!!
25. Note, no one, not one leader in the Muslim-Arab world has
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.22.13)
ever accepted Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. And, none has any intention to ever change the thrust of the Muslim-Arab world toward Israel: We recognize the fact that it presently - but only presently - exists, but it has no right to do so on ANY parcel of land of the Jewish people's ancestral homeland. P.S. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that was set up in 1964 by the Arab League and with which Israel negotiates peace, continues to object, categorically, to Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and yet, some want to hand over a state to these people...!!
26. to #21
NIk ,   Chicha   (10.22.13)
I also though this is weird way to describe the flag...not to mention that it is bad math to call "hexagram" ( or "sexagram" -- yes we are sexy) "hexagon"
27. there will be time when Iran will be too
ghostq   (10.22.13)
dominant in the ME than Qatar will be on her knees beging for Israel and the west help.
28. FIFA
max ,   washington dc   (10.22.13)
Fifa has some anti semites on it biard and condones bigotry in sports. Shame on them as they behave as Nazi Germany during the 1939 Olympics. Quatar should have been suspended and no world sports events should be held there until they apologize to Isrsel and all sports playets!
29. #21
Prosecco   (10.22.13)
let me guess who you are... paranoid?
30. Such Fools
Simcha ,   NYC USA   (10.22.13)
Where does your eye go first? To the all white flag with the israeli on the starting block. When their oil runs out, what will it matter?
