1. PACBI practices McCarthyism
Benji ,   US   (07.05.15)
Don't give in to pro-Palestinian bullies. The world has witnessed how Palestinians fire rockets and commit terror attacks against Israeli civilians to provoke the IDF to attack back in defense. Then Palestinians play the victim for world sympathy and send black list goons to pressure performers. I applaud those who stand up for artistic freedom!
2. Don't think Bon Jovi wants to join Roger Goebbels/Waters
(07.05.15)
3. Mandela has said there is no apartheid in Israel
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (07.06.15)
To call Israel an apartheid country is an insult to all those who suffered under apartheid. Israel is the only country in the Mideast that respects human rights for all.
4. TO MR BON JOVI :
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.06.15)
Come to Israel or don't come . But do not think you are doing us any favours.
5. Bon Jovi is not an idiot
Shep ,   Memphis   (07.06.15)
He is an intelligent fellow and from what I hear he is well read. He'll play Israel cause he has then of thousands of fans there.
6. Too bad it's on Tom tov
David ,   New york   (07.06.15)

k ,   US   (07.06.15)
The more you recognize the BDS the more you are making them legitimate, if you want them to cancel that is another story
8. you are sooo nice!
Doña Adler ,   Jerusalem Honesty   (07.06.15)
i must copy & paste : #4 "TO MR BON JOVI : Come to Israel or don't come . But do not think you are doing us any favours." hahaha! sincerely yours, me
9. BDS is the new antisemitism
frauss ,   Jerusalem   (07.06.15)
It is built on lies and exists only for de-legitimizing Israel.
10. don't be so sure
ted ,   usa   (07.06.15)
google frank luntz. 47% of democrats think israel is a racist state. maybe the whole world isn't on your side after all; in fact, you're losing the public opinion battle.
11. I dont think Bon Jovi sells too much music to Mosque Goers
Alan ,   SA   (07.06.15)
12. #10 Voters jumping ship on democrats
Ron ,   US   (07.06.15)
Your comments say more about the sad state of affairs of the democratic party these days. Let's hope music groups aren't forced to poll the democratic party before they book a gig. Grow a spine ted.
13. Bon Jovi Boycott Israel
Kathy ,   San Antonio USA   (07.07.15)
I'm a huge fan of Bon Jovi. They have always stated that they are "apolitical", which I am as well. I don't think that there is anything political about the scheduled concert and from a business aspect, that is understandable. A possible compromise might be donating a portion of the proceeds of the concert to the homeless people in Israel. I support the Bon Jovi Soul Foundation whenever possible, this could be the start of not only Bon Jovi but other artists doing this as well. Just an alternative to completely boycotting the country and the fans there. Just an idea.
14. to ted@10
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (09.18.15)
Are you introducing here the world according to "Luntz"..? Just because a handful of your kind, manufactured a formula, it doesn't mean it exists...All you doing here, is selling a "cat in the heat..." And BTW, we don't give a "hoot" about Frank Luntz or you... Facts are a stubborn thing...And according to factual truth,Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East....
