It would also be nice if we all knew where all the aid donated to the palestinians went? But it don't seem we'll be getting the answer. So quit it with the propaganda sites, you terrorists
8. Thank you very much Ronaldinho !! :)
Roberto Gutierrez ,   Madrid, Spain   (03.27.06)
I live in Spain and I like Barcelona very much. Ronaldinho: a champion in Football and a champion in Life. All of us need people like him. Thank you !! :)
9. Wonderful-a celebrity cares about Jewish Children!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.27.06)
When it comes to Jews, most celebrities are short on compassion and big on political correctness. G-d bless you, Ronaldinho, for caring about Jewish innocents.
10. THANK YOU!

Wow, now I may even have to favour Brazil over Germany in the World Cup this summer!

It's interesting...that lovers of peace and justice stand up for Israel....and the terror acts of Palestinian Arabs are supported by the likes of Iran and Syria. Hmmm....You have to realise something so basic - quit firing qassams into Israel, quit sending your precious children into Israel wearing bombs, quit trying to murder Israelis -and then you'll see the numbers you referred to on your propaganda website change dramatically. "Occupation" What a ridiculous word! You people think that ALL of Israel is an "occupation." I guess you forget that our deeds to the land did not expire when the Romans forcefully removed us and scattered our remnants in the world.
12. 5 - this american with israeli-arab wife and kids...
mike ,   usa   (03.27.06)
..can see that your website is pure propaganda par excellance. americans need to look at the situation with sober minds and realize that islam is the problem. if americans knew the truth, the REAL truth, they would not put up with your islamofascist agenda and treat palestinians like their al-qaeda brothers-in-arms.

It's good to see that finally an international celebrity expresses moral clarity and does something decent for Israel for once.

I see that you wife is doing a good job at home with her propaganda, is it that good? But you are right, Islam is the problem and brains with a IQ of a chicken with the flu
15. #5 PLO/PA CALL FOR MURDER OF ALL JEWS & AMERICANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.27.06)
If only Americans knew we are forced through our tax dollars to finance jihad against innocents. The Palestinian Authority teach through their mosques, media, summer camps, and public education system, that murdering Jews is a religious obligation. Muslim human bomb murderers of innocent Jews are revered and considered heroes by PA society. Broadcast from Gaza mosque, Oct 13 2000, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..."

my wife only tells her experience of living in israel as an arab - she's proud of her country. that's the truth, no need to exaggerate, like it or not, it is good and right.

18. Ronaldinho is a Christian - Jews should help non-jews too!
Gotti Junior ,   Little Italy NY   (03.28.06)
I hope that Israelis are aware of the fact that my catholic brother Ronaldinho is a Christian who support Jewish children. I hope that Jews help others too from time to time, instaed of helping only the own people... An Italian TV reporter on SKY Italia told during a basketball game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Climamio Bologna, that Maccabi is a jewish club with Christian players who win the games! Israelis and Jews remember: Withouth Christians Israel wouldn't excist. We support you, so support also us! That's the deal. Change ur laws in Israel that still discriminates non jews or Christians!

20. Re: "Jews should help non-Jews"
Kate ,   London   (03.28.06)
Gotti's assertion is a libel worthy of the most virulent anti-Semite. Indeed no people on earth have helped others more than Jews. Whether we are talking about advances in medicine or gifts to charity (40% of all large gifts to charity in the United States are made by Jews and virtually none of that money is given to Jewish charities) no people have helped mankind more than the Jewish people. Gotti also seems to forget not only the almost 2000 years of terrible persecution Catholics have inflicted on Jews but also the many millions of Catholics who openly and willingly collaborated with the Nazis in the Holocaust.

To keren, sao paolo: Any comments about the discrimination by law of the non-jews (goyim) in Israel??? Civil marriage between mixed couples, discrimination of christian-russian immigrans in the army etc ???? In Brazil the jews have the same rights by law....right? So, give the same to christians in Israel! # 20: Talk about the present and not about the future. Jews are protected by law in all Christian states and there is NO DISCRIMINATION by law against any religion or race in the western democratic Christian countries! Talk about the present not about the past! We are living now! I have many Israeli friends and I'm surely not an anti-semite! I start to laugh... I'm just asking for justice and telling u facts! Or did u ever face the aiport authority in Ben Gurion Tel Aviv? Question 1: Where r u from? Question 2: Are u jewish? -if yes, ok no problem If not, you need to answer 100 question while they even check ur underwears. This has nothing to do with anti-semitism! Stop with the excuses. I'm talking about unjustice and half-racism (supported by law) in IIsrael, while many jews have the same rights (by law) in our countries. Capisci???

keren ,   sao paulo   (03.28.06)
hmmm...what's your point? what do you want ? what's your problem about Jews and Israel? Do you want to live there?do you want to marry a Jewish girl? So try first and then tell us the results. PS:To land at JFK,or Atlanta(I don't remember the aeroport' name),or wherever in US is a litlle bit worse than at Ben Gurion. Am I wrong?

Gotti Junior ,   Little Italy NY   (03.28.06)
Come on Karen...why do u always try to change subject instead of answering facts that I wrote?!? Run out of arguments! U know exactly that Israel is discriminating BY LAW non-jews, something that doesn't happen in any other democratic christian states (like Brazil for example). I'm reading articles, hearing stories about friends in Israel and even Israeli themselve say that the country's law are somehow racist. In Israel mixed couple CANT marry....It's unbelieveble. The state doesn't want people from different religion or race to get married! Your opinion about that? Don't come again with other things. Just answer this question. Or can't u admit it? What if in Brazil they decide that 99.9% of Brazilian catholics (like Ronaldinho) have more rights than non-catholics? Would u like that??? Me? I'm a proud Italian-American rich guy and married with a catholic rich woman (even though I don't care about the religion of any possible wife) I'm happy to belong to the majority of the world...If u know what I mean...
25. To Gotti
Merrill ,   New York, NY   (03.29.06)
Gotti, As I Jew, yes Gotti, I agree with you somewhat because it is true that generally Jews love Jews more than non-Jews. But that does not we don't love with all our hearts and respect our Christian brothers and sisters. Jews are very grateful for what Christians are doing for us every day. The only thing to keep in mind that there are only $13 million of us worldwide, we have only one tiny state which is smaller than New Jersey and we would like to keep this state Jewish. With Russian soldiers in Israeli army it's like Vatican - I am sure you wouldn't be too crazy if Muslim soldiers would demand to be guards of His Holiness, plus I have Christian friends in Israeli army and they told me it's not that bad. In terms of the Ben Gurion airport, there were so many terrorist attacks against Jews that now Jews are very cautious to say the least. It's like what we see in States right now - everyone including 60 y.o. grandmas have to go through tighter security, remove their shoes etc. Our Christian brothers and sisters, please understand that we are in a war - we are trying to ensure our existance. Thank you again for all of your support.

Joan ,   Haifa   (03.29.06)
Your remarks about Ben Gurion Airport amazed me. Do you really have no idea *why* there's tight security? In the days when I used to fly between the U.S. and Israel quite a bit, El Al security used to ask me lots of questions. I'm Jewish, but look Irish. So I suppose I could have gotten all in a swivet (like you) about "discrimination" but I didn't. The fact was, and they explained it to me in case I didn't know already, that a Palestinian terrorist had recently duped an Irish girl, who was pregnant by him (they didn't mention that, but I knew it already), into supposedly coming to Israel to meet his family before the wedding when, in reality, he handed her a bomb to blow up the passenger jet and kill hundreds. I think we were all glad that El Al security personnel foiled that one! Even so, I'll bet you'd have been screaming "ethnic profiling"!
28. Gotti - Maccabi
Joan ,   Haifa   (03.29.06)
Is it somehow Israel's fault that Sky Italia has a reporter who's a jerk? What is your message here?
29. # 28
Gotti Junior ,   Little Italy NY   (03.29.06)
Maccabi Tel Aviv? They win thanks to Christian players like Parker (he's very religious Christian) and all the others. My message? Accept Christian citizens (many russian immigrants) the same in your country, as you accept them for what they do for Maccabi! Airport Ben Gurion: If you are tough in controlling Arabs or moslems it make sence (u r in war with them), same happens in Italy or USA. But if you discriminate "non-arabs" such as Christians, while letting most of the jews (not israeli citizens) pass in 5 minutes than you act on a racist way. Btw. George Bush and other American Christian Fundamentalists are aware of that, as you can read in many American newspapers. Israel should stop discriminate non-jews that have nothing to do with the war with the arabs. An Israeli friend of mine told me that Israelis have generally one problem: They can NEVER critisize themselves. That's the reason why a lot of you are simply not respected anymore as it was in the 70s. I give u a hint: Show more respect for Christians in Israel and you will get all back. For you it's a win-win situation, but you are too deep in your jewish life, as it was teached to you sistematically by the educational system in Israel. It's all about "YEHUDI VE LO YEHUDI". That's a pitty, since Israel could be loved by many countries in Europe and other places. I hope your country will modify some racist law, while you always and anyway will keep ur jewish character. As my USA is becoming again more and more christianized.
