1. And Israel will be replaced by Gaza
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.22.14)
for building such sophisticated terror tunnels instead of housings for their population.
2. Judae and Samaria is for the Jewish Security Capacity
Zechariah   (03.22.14)
Essentially Judae and Samaria ought be a Massive Military Area to Protect Jew and Arab against External Attacks from Anywhere and Maintain Relative Quiet .BDS is Misguided because a Judae and Samariah with seven millian Arabs cannot occur as it would lead to a Massive war with immense deaths and Injuries .The whole Region would explode .Sttlement Slowdown is though a Desirable Policicy at this Time .
3. UK becoming another Islamic state.
Ben S ,   Free World   (03.22.14)
4. Architects' boycott
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (03.22.14)
Great news! Other such major actions are being carried out simultaneously. BDS!!! BDS!!! Soon the Zionists will be defeated and removed from the international community perhaps with hardly a shot being fired. Go for it, UK Architects, and others of the professions, worldwide!!!
5. Yet another expression of anti-Jewish racism thinly veilled
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.22.14)
by anti "occupation", "settlements", and other hollow slogans that have no basis in any moral or legal code. We, Jews, have been dished this kind of attitude by Europeans in general and British people in particular for centuries. We shall overcome this one too, while this social sickness goes untreated.
6. The RIBA should first consider the Malvinas situation
hanna ,   north israel   (03.22.14)
Before trying to exclude Israel from the international architect organization, they should probably consider how similar calls from Argentina and all the other South American countries could leave them out in the cold. Or if Spain decided to call for similar measure with regards to Gibraltar…
7. Boycott British Architects for building in Gibraltar / Falkl
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.22.14)
Boycott British Architects for building in Gibraltar / Falklands.
8. As a Palestinian Architect, I'm proud of the RIBA
Lynx ,   Palestine   (03.22.14)
RIBA has demonstrated moral superiority to all other architectural associations. Surely, with RIBA's status in the Western World more Architectural Associations will boycott the Israeli architects union until the latter expels Israeli architects who practice and aid the illegal settlement activities in Palestine. On the other hand RIBA will be welcome to assist Palestinian Architects in the emergence of a dynamic Palestinian built environment, and most of all the rehabilitation of historic buildings located throughout the Palestinian State.
9. the British are evil
k ,   US   (03.22.14)
the most evil people on the planet, never trust a Brit no matter how "sincere" they are, I have had to learn this unfortunately
10. I suggest
Gady ,   Mexico City   (03.22.14)
naming this group: The Albert Speer Arquitects:
11. They obviously didn't get
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (03.22.14)
a transcript of the UK's Prime Ministers speech made in the Knesset last week. Cue all the accusations of anti Semitism etc and the usual Londonistan comments from the settlers and their cohorts. Yet another Internationally respected organisation moving against Israel proper because of the actions of 500,000 settlers
12. USA is building in Guantanamo
Daniel ,   Netherlands   (03.22.14)
Are they going to boycott the USA? Is Russia building in Crimea???
13. Arab money hard at work
jericho ,   causa   (03.22.14)
14. UK is on the brink of becoming an islamic state..
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.22.14)
.. and soon the evilness will start to hurt the UK population...no pubs, no beer, lashing, honor killings, rapes, beheading and strangulations executed by hanging in cranes. Even RIBA will meet their destiny in an arab spring...
15. Delusional
Ron ,   oc us   (03.22.14)
I think that this group thinks way to much of its self importance. Before today I have never heard of them. By tomorrow the obscurity will set back in.
16. UK Architects get biiiiig contracts inQatar Dubai,KSA Gulf
Alan ,   SA   (03.22.14)
So they have to show that they are on the ball when it comes to Israel bashing .Also they do tall buildings etc for Arab States in London .An example...Qatar picked up the Olympic Village for a song. Today they can make a BILLION £££ profit. The Arabs own much of London .They pump plenty £££ into London buildings. Now you know why the British Architects are absolutely in pieces about Israel behaviour!! Actualy they couldn't give a ****.

26. Love it. Isolated israel.
(03.22.14)
27. No.15 - Yes, why not ?
Yeoshua F. ,   N.Y   (03.22.14)
Do you know anything about Gaza ? A region of 1.7 million people.. Of course you don´t. But I do, and Gaza has tons of potential. It has a very young population, it´s strategically located by the sea, it has an open checkbook from Qatar and other super rich Gulf nations. It has restaurants, beaches, hotels, cheap prices.. just waiting for the moment in which Israel get´s it´s colonial paws off, in order to become an economical and touristic power. The fact that they´ve been able to provide for themselves under such terrible colonial oppression is truly admirable and speaks a lot about their character. Those of us who know the middle east can easily understand why Israel is so fearful of the Palestinians replacing them, and so does everything it can to keep them jailed and suppressed. You on the other hand are happy sitting at home and believing you are superior to others, dehumanizing 1.7 million people and likening them to rats who are only concerned in building tunnels. Reading and investigating is hard, believing you are superior is easy.
28. GIVEN THE BRITISH "ARCHITECTURAL WRECKING RECORD"
joyce fraser ,   USA   (03.22.14)
throughout its bloody history, How many nations, how many peoples, cultures, tribes, etc, that the British have designed, engineered, and 'architected' into ruination, strife and conflict, may never be known. However, that number is very large indeed! Referring to the wrongs and crimes that the highly-exploiting, abusing, plundering and murderous "elitist British" committed against their victims all over the globe, and which lasted for quite a few centuries ... ... "British wreckord" is very fitting.
29. Anarchy
Etienne Prinsloo ,   British Columbia Ca   (03.22.14)
All the Brits really want is to see Israel in the same condition as Libya, Syria, Egypt, Tunisia etc. These countries are testament to the Western world's new vision for the Middle East, soon to be repeated in Europe itself. The British are merely kneeling in front of and doing the bidding of their Islamic masters. As a people they have surrendered their identity and pride in the name of political correctness and multiculturalism. Never before has a people been conquered with so little effort.
30. Apartheid must be opposed, wherever it is.
