1. You want our money then give us something back
American Jew ,   NYC   (07.02.17)
If it wasn't for American Jews there wouldn't be an Israel. Have you not heard of AIPAC? We also have the money to invest in Israel. Who do you think buys those apartments in Tel Aviv? What if we didn't come to Israel in the summer and spend money? Israelis should remember that. We should have a say in where we can pray. Those orthodox gate keepers are ruining the country.

9. Suspend yourself from Israel good riddence FairweatherFriend
WithFriendsLikeHIm ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.02.17)
What unmitigated arrogance ....NO were not going to be blackmailed into
aquiesing to a Loony Toons Mickey Mouse version of Judaism that
is not palatable to vast majority of Israeli secular Jews not just
the religious Orthodox Jew you will never force this on us
You and only you will be the loser in this game sir! The Cult
of Reform has evidently brainwashed him. Reform and Conservative
in this country should rebrand themselves;
"The Extreme Left Wing Meretz Social Engineering Movement" and Israelis are smart enough to know it .
10. bibi talks jerusalem, then blocks bill
ed   (07.02.17)
bibi a graduate of ehud barak's schoool of withdrawal and concessions shows his true colors. israel would not have the golan today if bibi were in power at the time. he is no different than herzog. he is very weak and fightiened. he gives in all the time, only builds himself up with a few speeches, then makes more concessions. any assertion of israeli power and bibi vetoes it or says we can't because trump doesn't want it.

it is difficult to understand this mindset.
11. INTEGRITY AND MONEY
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.02.17)
We all need money in order to live , buy shopping ,pay rent ,clothes ,food etc However ,if a man does not have integruty ,then a man has nothing and is worth nothing .With respect, PM Netanyahu needs to remember this simple truth and to tell folk like Mr Fisher that we do not like to be blackmailed. Isaac Fisher is of course entitled to his opinion but he should not resortsto threats of blackmail and withdrwaubg funds. He should either donate with a good heart or else he swhould keep his money and keep quet.
12. #1 YOU ARE DELUDED
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.02.17)
Israel owes american jews precisely nothing.
13. TO IKE FISHER
DONALD THUMP ,   BILLIONAIRE   (07.02.17)
Please keep your dollars ,you need them more than we do.
14. IF....
RUDYARD RIPLING ,   SAFED POETRY   (07.02.17)
If Netanyahu had integrity ,he would tell Ike Fisher to go take a hike.
15. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ?
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (07.02.17)
What is the difference between american jews and a Dog? a dog loves UNCONDITIONALLY .
16. FISHER IS RIGHT :
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.02.17)
Isaac Fisher is right ,enough is ehough . Enough of trying to blackmail Israel and trying to dictate religious ,social and security affairs to israelis. ENOUGH IS INDEED ENOUGH.
17. Fisher has the money, and Israel has the state
C   (07.02.17)
the fact that these reformers are boycotting Israel proves their
bad faith.
18. Australian Jews give more per capita to Israel
Aliza   (07.02.17)
Than any Jewish community in the diaspora. Five of the 10 richest persons in Australia according to Forbes are Jewish and donate generously to Israeli projects.
The Australian Jewish community is conservative in nature and has the lowest intermarriage and assimilation rates in the diaspora, the highest aliya rate 10% and a strong Zionist support.
Israel doesn't need these American blackmailers. With the rate of intermarriage and assimilation of American Jewry, in a generation there will be no support for Israel amongst Reform and conservative Jews as it will be a dead movement.
19. DONATIONS; A RAP
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (07.02.17)
TO IKE FISHER , Yo ,my friend Ike , on your bike and go take a hike , I will moan ,but us you do not own , save your hollers, just cause yo give a few dollars , Israel has laws , israelis aint your whores , we do not live in caves and we aint your slaves, when with money you do part ,just do it with a good heart ,relation may freeze ao thaw ,but you can't just lay down the law , I aint no hater ,and I aint yo exclusive waiter , go siah upon a star ,and stop dictating to us from afar , go drink a cold beer ,and remember you aint no daddy here.
