Tzimmes ,   Tel Aviv   (12.04.13)
If you think so it must be true. Genius
32. Shine
(12.04.13)
Let the light shine in darkness of lies upon lies and lies of Palestinians claiming millions of EU easy money.
33. To: No. 14

They are not. But Israeli companies own the patents which are an integral part of the products of Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, Samsung, HP, et cetera, et cetera. If Israeli were to yank the licensing agreements, Israeli-owned patents can no longer be legally used by companies which rely on those patents. Have no fear, however. I'm sure the residents of the 14 companies that wish to boycott Israeli products won't in the least bit mind using tin cans and a piece of string in lieu of mobile phones. And I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a rusty old typewriter -- try eBay. And I'm sure the postal service in the Netherlands still sells stamps. You really have no idea just how much Israeli-owned patents dominate telecommunications and information technology, do you? You may soon find out. Oh .... one more thing: try not to be diagnosed with cancer. Seventy percent of the chemotherapy protocols in use throughout the world today were developed in Israel. If you REALLY want to boycott Israel, than you should boycott all Israeli products, don't you agree? To do less would be -- well -- unforgivably hypocritical.
34. Mirror mirror on the wall...

who's the butt-ugliest one of all?
35. #33
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (12.04.13)
The only Israeli product I have ever met was vegetables and plastic box for composting. I hope we will survive without that.
36. Israeli products are always inferior...
Marco ,   Spain   (12.04.13)
You just have to look at Sarah B to realize that...
37. #33 As I adviced you before
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (12.04.13)
You would do well to ground your bluffing & bragging a bit in reality in order not to sound pathetic. From a psychological point of view Israeli Jews are interesting because they have this big yearning and longing to be the center of the world and all-important to it. Denial of actual reality leads to behaviour like yours.
38. To darn funny
Ab5678 ,   USA   (12.04.13)
Right wingers from Israel starting to sound more and more like the white folks from South Africa before the sanctions started and we all know how that ended.
39. #35 The only Czechs I ever met came out of the
A ,   Belgium   (12.04.13)
Israeli - made compost box, together with the rest of the rotten, decaying garbage.
40. #36 As is the Spanish educational system obviously
A ,   Belgium   (12.04.13)
One just has to read your pathetically infintile posts to realize that.
41. #33 Absurd.posturing
On the Balcony   (12.05.13)
Give away your copy of Atlas Shrugged. There is nothing to stop the international community from treating the laws governing Israeli's patent in the same way that Israel treats international laws on the occupation and settlements, ie. by simply ignoring them.
42. Funding
luke ,   London, UK   (12.06.13)
Careful, if the EU and US withdraw their tax dollars and Euros from israel you can kiss Israel goodbye.
43. Palestine
luke ,   London   (12.06.13)
Sam, there is nothing more the Palestinians are asking than for Israel to withdraw its army and its settlers from the West Bank and to end the seige on Gaza. As Israel is the occupier they must leave the occupied terriory. The governments in the EU are responding to civil society which is increasing the presuure on Israel to respect international law and respect the human rights of Palestinians.
