32. this palestinian terrorist thinks that he rules the world !
(10.25.13)
33. BOYCOTTS ARE ILLEGAL
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.25.13)
All companies considering any kind of economic boycott against Israeli companies should be reminded that boycotts are illegal & they could face repercussions from the US which has clear laws against economic boycotts.
34. Boycott

36. Boycott PA Abbas
Bill Stein ,   USA   (10.25.13)
If any countries boycott Israel take 5 dollars from PA aid for every one dollar Israel loses. Ban Abbas from the PA for good.
37. When they can't kill us, they boycott us.
(10.25.13)
38. BDS all the way!
Makinaapoint ,   New York, NY   (10.25.13)
Since the "settlements": violate several international laws, it makes complete sense to boycott anything produced there, and also any entity that supports such attempts at commerce, no matter where that entity is. It's a very effective, non-violent way of ending an illegal situation. Same as was done to Apartheid South Africa ( who's best friend was no other than Israel; How ironic, huh? Or is that "revealing...."?) Case closed.
39. Abbas aim?
tiki ,   belgium   (10.25.13)
Getting on Israel's nerves so they will stop the talking process and he doesn't have to take responsibility for a state in the near future and lose the EU/US money infusion.
40. send clear message. do not deal with or pull out will not be
ralph   (10.25.13)
allowed anywhere in israel. same for science funding. cancel agreement. send them to pals. they need us more than we need them. make agreements with asia, india. china south korea.
41. Abbas War Criminal
Bill Stein ,   USA   (10.25.13)
If any countries boycott Israel take 5 dollars from PA aid for every one dollar Israel loses. Ban Abbas from the PA for good. By the way his role in the Munich Massacre is a violation of International Law and Israeli Law arrest him to stand trial in Israel
42. #38 BDS The territories are disputed and the only apartheid
Urani Diot   (10.25.13)
will be once the Pals get their Jew-less state. Arabs live and vote in Israel. Apartheid my arse.
43. #29 I worked with Romanians and Thais in Israel
A ,   Belgium   (10.25.13)
and they were dependable, good workers. The "palestinians" are in no circumstance the only ones who can do low paid jobs, such as construction.
44. # 29 YES!
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.25.13)
There are plenty of other illegals in Israel to do their jobs and do it better.
45. Two-faced, just like Arafat
Carl ,   USA   (10.25.13)
He speaks "peace" to Israel and the U.S. while at the same time doing everything in his power to undermine the very foundations of peace. Does he not even realize that his own people benefit the most from well paying jobs that these "settlement" industries create? Sodastream, for example, has created 700 jobs for Palestinians, yet is a prime target of BDSers.
46. well they do
alex ,   UK   (10.25.13)
they do because of their legitimacy , respect of international law and their historical right. the resist acts of Israelis such like you make the future for Palestinians.
47. End it with a Peace Treaty
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (10.25.13)
All this BDS stuff goes away with an ratified and implemented peace treaty. Are borders, land swaps, independence and sovereignty too much? Make a deal.
48. #6 - John
Maurice ,   Montreal   (10.25.13)
Turkey is NOT a EU member, and will NEVER become one the way the Turkish government is associating itself with extremist and Islamist regimes such as Hamas, and curbing free speech in the country.
49. 7
zionist forever   (10.25.13)
The funny thing about him wanting Bank Leumi to be boycotted is because the only reason Leumi have branches in Judea & Samaria is because the palestinians use the shekel and that means they need to use an Israeli bank. I am sure it could be arranged that to avoid a boycott Leumi could close down their branches in Judea & Samaria. Of course if they do that when the palestinians want to get money out the bank they have to spend the better part the day at the border to get into israel then find a bank and then go home again It would be a whole day trip just to use the ATM and when that happens Abbas will condemnIsrael for intentionally trying to make things hard for the palestinians by closing down branches of Leumi
50. Mark Ben Josef #47
Bill Stein ,   USA   (10.25.13)
Hey US Goverment Lackie go back to your coffee break and let the big boys fight
51. He is the leader of a shambled economy.
Israeli 2   (10.25.13)
His people depend on Israeli success in the area they live in. What kind of Meshuga asks the world to destroy something that would destroy itself? This is simply beyond me...unless...the land does not belong to him. Remember the woman who said: "Yes! Cut the baby in half...so she won't have one either?" Same thing here. Amazing!
52. Boycott
Kenny ,   Cleveland usa   (10.25.13)
Why are we going to let terrorists go when the enemy says to boycott our goods! Don't bow down like the US has done, let them rot in jail!
53. baby 44 . We are talking about Yehuda veshomron
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.25.13)
Not about illegals in Israel .
54. A , 43 . will YOU do their low paid job ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.25.13)
that was my question . Do you think that we can import tens of thousands Romanians and Thais to work in Yehuda Veshomron ?
55. WE just love Israel & its people
Love Land of Israel ,   USA   (10.25.13)
Boycotting Israel is boycotting yourself!
56. abbas is not smart
arne ,   chicago usa   (10.25.13)
he doesn't understand that by trying to hurt Israel he will only hurt his own people.not too smart:
57. abbas, devil and Co
basri ,   paris   (10.25.13)
Poor man, poor people, they will finish as arafat.
58. It's about time!
Marwan ,   Tel Aviv, Palestine   (10.25.13)
It's about time for the Palestinian people who is the only nation in the world that's been living under a ruthless racist occupation for a continuous period of over 40 years, to go after the terrorists who stole their lands and caused them suffering.
59. Ok ok
Susie ,   Scotland   (10.25.13)
Yes let's boycott Israel by opening a bank account in bank Leumi!
60. fatah inventing international law, again!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (10.26.13)
