1. BDS is a scourge that needs to be dealt with
Shachar ,   Eilat   (06.01.15)
Unfortunately we have a gov't hell-bent on aiding BDS propaganda instead of countering it.
2. BDS is....
SIMON ORDEVER ,   Los Angeles, USA   (06.01.15)
BDS = Bloody Damn Silly (if you ask me)
3. bunch of slow learners. i have been saying this for yrs
ralph   (06.01.15)
4. Endure to the end!!!!!
(06.01.15)
It should be criminal offence by any Israeli/Jews to support BDS. The government has the tools to pass the necessary laws including extradition from wherever they might be, supporting or promoting boycotting agendas. Arabs are not divided against themselves so Israel should not be divided. That's where to start from.
5. Immorality is a bigger threat to Israel's existence
(06.01.15)
The Torah clearly states so.
6. Ynet you are part of the problem
Someone   (06.01.15)
The targeting of Netanyahu and the right in general by Israel media is shameful. Just look at how Haaretz is used as the Newspaper of anti-Israel world. Ynet has not become much better. You refuse to acknowledge Jewish rights on the land, Temple Mount freedom of religion, the weekly attacks against Jews especially Jerusalem area, the fact that the Palestinians institutions and leadership are terrorists and full of antisemitism/racism/sexism... If you repeat a lie enough times.... welcome to the world of the Left-wing. Fact is there is no partner for peace, the Palestinians are not indigenous as a nation but partially, there is a legal claim for Israel in the West Bank, Green line has no legal basis in international law, the Palestinians have no intention of peace and their end game from their own mouths is Israels destruction. Maybe you should be fighting for truth instead of jumping on the anti-BDS bandwagon when you are part of the problem. Journalistic integrity not political agenda. Ynet you have a responsibility which you are not living up to while people are being killed by your supporters.
7. BDS
Josephine Bacon ,   London, UK   (06.01.15)
You have not mentioned the huge Cooperative Group of grocery stores in the UK who have been boycotting Israeli produce on the excuse that some of it *might* come from the West Bank settlements. Some of it is marketed through the four Israeli companies, including Agrexco and Mahedrin, that also markets Palestinian produce. Furthermore, the Cooperative-owned pharmacies would not DARE to boycott Israeli medicines, on which they depend!
8. bds
Ben Smith ,   zurich Switzerland   (06.01.15)
We need to step back and reassess. The Isreal I see today is not a nice civilised democracy. The new government is full of people the Nazis would have approved of.
9. BDS
Zvi Fink ,   Modiin Israel   (06.01.15)
Defense will not work. Palestinian corruption,fanaticism and terror must be publicized. Defaming the Palestinians as child murderers and anti gay, women etc. will create a feeling by the American students and others to distance themselves from the issue "a plague on both your houses" is a tactic that will make it un cool to take one side or the other. Pro Israeli Jews and Christians and pro Arab Muslims will still be active but the silent majority will lose interest.
10. Israel has to Prepare
Zechariah   (06.01.15)
Israel has to prepare for this shortsighted boycott , Clearly a Psycho Group will grab a nuclear device threaten Israel and the Arabs will run away So the Jews need deep underground Cities Suurvivalism with second strike capacity and missile shields. The Jews in BDS will be killed like the Jewish Bolshevics under a Stalin even worse like the Rumkowski and his wife under the Nazis.
11. BDS is a totalitarian organisation
CJK   (06.01.15)
bds uses totalitarian methods in its attempts to destroy the jewish state. in particular, bds uses physical force to shut down freedom of speech, enemy of all totalitarians. however much money is poured into bds, it will fail. money,which the muslims have in abundance, will not defeat the jewish state. the bds will be fought in the courts of law. already, court have declared bds to be illegal. bds will be fought in state and federal and national legislatures. bds has already been outlawed in some states. bds will be fought on university campuses. bds has already lost on some university campuses. those jewish academics who side with the bds will find themselves boycotted. they might win some battles, but we shall win the war. those like kerry who have openly threatened israel with boycotts need to remember that jews have faced boycotts throughout our history. yet here we are, with a thriving country, while our enemies are bleeding.
12. Enough is Enough
David Fakheri ,   LA USA   (06.01.15)
Mr. Yemini It's not the first time that we the Jews have been targeted to be harmed by our enemies and it won't be the last time that as a state ( The Jews Again ) we be targeted again. If the founders of the Jewish state haven't thought about this matter that ( NOT IF ) but When it's going to happen what kind of solution the made us ready with to use against this horrible moment then we are going to be in a big trouble. I believe that the last thing we the Jews have to do is to use all what ever we have in our power to use against even if the world goes to look like before creation. Then It won't be us to answer to God and it won't be them ( Our enemies ) to answer to God but it certainly would be the honorable god to answer to himself why Except the nations who want to survive do something against the Anti-Israel, Anti-Judaism and Anti-Semitism to prevent the disaster that ( god forbids ) will happen sooner than any body thinks! Enough is Enough . The end of the story!.
13. without the right-wing and Bibi, there would be no BDS
Rafi ,   US   (06.02.15)
they feed on each other... We're paying early for BB's settlements, demagoguery and other shenanigans. You reap what you sow.
14. You people don't get it do you?
Stan ,   Israel   (06.01.15)
It;s as simple as ABC S,A. did not give basic Human Rights to millions of non Whites. As a result of 48 years of Occupation, the Palestinians also do not have basic Human Rights. SA held out for 25 years against BDS, but when the African Americans demanded that American companies cut their ties with SA, IBM, Ford and others did so. Mandela was then released from prison and began negotiating with President de Klerk the ending of Apartheid. (See Mandela's autobiography "Long walk to Freedom" )
15. BDS... Meet my DPMS. 5.56 to the rescue.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (06.02.15)
16. Those settlements have a cost
(06.02.15)
17. To # 10
Stan ,   Israel   (06.04.15)
.......and then you woke up from your wet dream!
18. ISRAEL GOD,S COUNTRY.
