1. no paradox
(03.26.14)
The Obama regime hates Israel, but the American people do not. In Europe, the Eurocrats hate Israel but the European countries and people do not.
2. Dead Antisemitic forecast. No BDS, UNSC, ICC, NATO, US GI's.

3. That is because

they are boycotting the settlements and not Israel. Seems to be a lot of confusion in Israel over this matter, Israel behind the greenline good Settlements beyond the greenline bad. Unfortunately in Israel proper the settlers have been able to distort the BDS campaign for their own purposes and effectively hold 6 million Israelis, hostage whilst they have a standard of living many normal decent Israelis have to work hard to maintain.

5. #3 how do you know that?
(03.26.14)
have you done a servery among BDSers? Or just speculations? Last time I checked, BDSers were talking about Israeli Arab citizen rights too etc. Check your facts
6. To #4....

Yeah Ralph! And I am Alice in Wonderland.
7. As predicted. Forget BDS, UNSC, ICC, NATO, US GI's.

8. EU, UK, USA
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (03.26.14)
It's good that someone has for a change said what most of us here in Lndon know. The EU, UK and Israel at the highest level have an excellent working relationshiship. The media focus on the odd group who boycott Israel in the EU, UK or USA, seldom noting the 99% who do not boycott.

There giving you as much of rope as they can so you can hang yourself so they can say 'we tried' and wash their hands ,...
10. A mercenary article.
AVouskila ,   South America   (03.26.14)
And I have been generous. The style the content, the lack of a critical look into the EU practices at different levels of bureaucraty. Of course, the moribund European economy cannot let 34% vs-32% import-export to their favour to just let it go, a l'occurence the petty french president who has no idea what his both left hands are marching to the Marseillaise. As to Merkel: ask her what ever happen to the International Law in Crimea, the puffy self important Cameroun has a war of attrition against both the politics and the economy of continental Europe. Woww, what a bunch of Westerner loosers, plus a dreamer in the white house and you have to bet on India, China, Brazil and Africa. What a "negrier" of article.
11. "Israel proper" #3?
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, ISRAEL   (03.26.14)
I'll bet you've never been east of the Green Line. In fact, I'll bet you don't even know what the 1967 and 1948 Green Lines are. You do sound like one of those upper class Tel Avivians who owns an apartment in Tel Aviv and in London as well. Can't make up your mind, eh? Just playing it "safe" while making ridiculous (out of ignorance)pronouncements.

While Human Rights Abuses occur against the Palestinian People by the usual percentage of sadists Psychpaths And Deluded Psychotics The Two States are likely To-- Be The Two Peoples Federated .The Jews being the severe Minority in The Area need to control Security.

16. "know-it-all #11"
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.27.14)
There wasn't a Green Line in 1948 and you talk about other people's ignorance
17. #11 absolutely not
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (03.27.14)
London Is a world financial centre unlike Tel Aviv. Israel proper does not include the West Bank however much you wave your arms and scream and shout, it is subject to military law and not Israeli law for a start. I think you are confusing biblical Israel with the Israel created in 1948 by the United Nations, I also believe you are living life on the lamb on my taxpayers money whilst services in Israel proper is being cut Don't like that fact tough, I refuse to be held hostage by settlers

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.27.14)
The green line is the 1949 cease fire line between Israel and Jordan . As Jordan attacked us in 1967 , breaking the cease fire , this line does "de facto" not exist anymore . That's my point of view .
19. Even after 1948 Israel is still the Scape Goat RIGHT ???
M.S. ,   mpls america   (03.27.14)
I realize if the Adolf Hitler Nazi propaganda machine blamed the Jews Israel for every thing no not much has really changed since 1945 it is still always the Jews Israel who are always the easy to label Scape Goats for every thing and so even after 9 11 the Jews Israel are always still to blame for every thing but solutions no not just brute blame is what is needed solutions easy to blame no not always automaticialy as easy so easy to find make really needed really RIGHT R I G H T kinds of solutions... RIGHT ??? Thank You... M.S.

The truth hurts sometimes I understand, particularly the realisation that you are being treated like an idiot by your own kind
