1. Political correctness is a mental disorder.
Brad ,   USA   (12.07.15)
What it really is, is cultural Marxism. But, whatever you call it, it denies reality, it denies the truth, and it personally attacks those who see through it and disagree with it. We need to get rid of political correctness, and we'd better do it fast because it's opening the door to our enemies to get rid of us.
2. Political correctness
Dalva Agne Lynch ,   São Paulo   (12.07.15)
Did I read right? "ocupation is occupation"? Is the author refering to us? Because if he is, there´s NO occupation - Gaza is OURS. And I haven´t heard about "Jewish terror" either. Is he reading stuff I didn´t know about? Pity, because until that end, i liked the article. Beware of feeding the enemies and the "moderates" who´d sell Israel for "peace"!
3. Liberalism is a mental disorder. What else is new?

4. The Flocker invents political equivalency, replaces correct

7. JVC # 2 wasn't it Churchill who said
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.07.15)
"When your young and not liberal you have no heart. When your older and not a conservative you have no brain?" ( and, not building and your stagnant, while building your busy growing and saving Jews. )
8. When the likes of Plocker jump their Lefty-ship it is a sure
Allah Fuckbar   (12.07.15)
sign of approaching end of the Red Menace in the Land of Israel! Hallelujah Brothers& Sisters! Took us quite a while, took gallons of blood, but seems we're getting there....
9. end media coersion
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (12.07.15)
Mr. Pocker, realize that Ynet is really not politically correct. They have disabled feedbacks on the page about Yossi Sarid since there was too many negative feed backs about him. What do you think of that being politically inconvenient?
10. Leftist hypocrite who sympathizes with Arabs writes about PC
Juliana   (12.07.15)
Before criticizing others of being PC, first stop being PC in Israel yourself in Israel. The Israeli left (including the writer) always sympathizes and are compassionate towards Arabs, even towards Arab terrorists. They go out of the way to be PC towards Arabs and harm and accuse religious Jews of Arab terrorism. It's more PC for the left to look the other way at Arabs who burn down Arab homes and murder young teens and through torture accuse Jews.
11. When liberal left will end that's when political correctness
Reuven   (12.07.15)
When the liberal left will end that's when political correctness will end. What's his name that meshugene Attorney General? He's taking action against those who shoot terrorists. If this is not being P.C., what is?
12. TELL ME MR. PLOCKER...
FO ,   Belgium   (12.07.15)
You write: "...after the terror attacks in Paris...The support for Marine Le Pen's populist-nationalist party has weakened significantly." Tell me Mr. Plocker, unaware what happened in France yesterday (December 6th)? Are you taking your readers for total idiots, or is your wishful thinking obstinately refusing the reality: that Marine le Pen's party achieved a victory. Another point: you write: "occupation is occupation"! Really? So Mr. Plocker, don't complain about BDS, don't complain about the fact that Israel is considered being a war criminal according to the Fourth Geneva Convention, and continue to accuse the whole world of anti-semitism because they all repeat your own words: occupation is occupation! I understand, Mr. Plocker, "rather to die that to loose the face"! In panic to claim Jewish-Israeli rights in International Law regarding the so-called territories as well as the Golan Heights, in order to create their independent state (League of nations 1922 and reaffirmed by article 80 of the United Nations' Charter). An independent state disowned at that time by the left majority of the Zionist movement, what brought upon the Jewish people the biggest disaster of its history.
13. Time to end 'political correctness'?
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (12.09.15)
Time to end the muttering of loaded, mindless cliches more likely. 'Political correctness' is a sledgehammer used to dismiss non-reactionary modes of expression. Thus, for example, attempting to be non-racist in the way we interact with each other is - heaven help us - regarded as being 'politically correct'. Rubbish - it's about giving respect - pure and simple. Banish the term 'politically correct' - it's outmoded and lazy.
