Getting so fed up with the left-wing fundamentalists, - trendy people supporting terrorists. Read about a demonstration against Israel in a small country up north. One of the red leaders said to the media: "To boycott a people will never lead to peace. On the contrary. This isolation will lead to more desperation and more violence", and he was waving a poster with big letters saying: BOYCOTT ISRAEL. Stupidity knows no limits.

sure they know, they just don't care. some of these british "academics", as mentioned in the article, have signed a petition that effectively asks for israel to give up its status as a jewish homeland. so let's see, the muslim arabs can have over 20 states where they can live and openly practice their terrorism and bigotry, while the jews, having only ONE state in the world where they can live without persecution for their religious beliefs cannot have even that one tiny state which happens to be their ancestral homeland simply because a few f*cked up brits, the world famous leaders of brutal colonization all over the globe, decided that this is how it should be while they keep getting grants from arab terror masterminds. personally i think we need to boycott them back on all levels and even cut security ties with the british establishment. after all, israeli officers with a wealth of counter terrorism experience now can't go to britain, whether it is to lecture or conduct further studies, because they risk being arrested. the brits can go screw themselves and choke on their fish and chips. may the muslims that they have allowed endlessly into there declare an islamic state on that whole isle. then we'll see what they'll say.

All we need, in Israel and the Diaspora, is more Jews like you in the world and we would always flourish and not be vulnerable.

I will write to the professional journals to which I subscribe (several published in Britain), and to the US and international professional organizations I belong to, and insist that they 1) notify their readers/members of the concerns and 2) refuse to accept for publication, or for public presentation, anything authored by academics who have signed on to the boycott.

For being a coward and believing every piece of propaganda waved in her face. From boycotts of anything Israeli to asking Jews to wear a yellow ribbon in Iran. Ellen you're a sorry excuse for a human being.

Prozac usually helps people in your agitated state.

left to boycott in jolly old England is a bunch of beer drinking, sex motivated football maniacs who, if they had to fight a war for their country today, would be strewn accross the battlefield before the first shot was fired.

There is a danger here that with all your good intention that by your action you will become guilty of what you are protesting – bias and apartheid! Have you been to Israel? Did you visit S.A. when apartheid was government policy? If not take care or you may simply be basing your decision to boycott Israel based on the bias of others. There are no separate toilets for Arabs, seats on buses, places in restaurants etc in Israel. Are Arabs discriminated against at checkpoints! Yes! Of course! As they will become more and more discriminated against in all non-Muslim countries and for obvious reasons. Terror. Are there similarities between black south Africans and Palestinians? Yes, and although you might not like it you should perhaps consider its veracity. Under there black governments neither south Africa or old Rhodesia produce or export anything anymore except hatred and aids and have now become like other African countries – a growing problem for the rest of the world. The Palestinians destroy (like the hothouses that were purchased for them) everything that might improve their lot or steal for the most part was is kindly donated to them. They export death and destruction to not only Israel but to a growing number of other countries. Israel turned the desert green and the Palestinians (not all to be sure) are intent on returning the growth to desert. I am a teacher from London teaching English in Tel Aviv and have been here for 3 years so I do have some first hand knowledge of the situation.

It's that twit Ellen in action again. My my my... she's a complete twerp... her post on demography and now this just proves her incredible stupidity and naivete in international affairs. Ellen, do volunteer to be a guard at one of Iran's nuke facilities. I think it'll be safe. After all, those facilities are for civilian purposes. Just make sure you're on duty when Israel smashes them.

In any family, the "bad seed" are disciplined. In any tribe, the bad seed are shunned. The planet is one tribe now. Where are Israel's friends. At her Borders? In Europe? In the west? Even the illegally formed American governent of Iraq is Boycotting Israel. Are the arms dealers your only friends, Israel? In the last 6 weeks Israel has fired over 5000 artillery rounds into Gaza. What is is the dollar value of that ordinance. Would not it have been better to use that money for infrastructure, schools jobs? Did Palestinians guard the camps in Germany? We know about "false flags" . We've read the stories of IDF firing Qassams. We know the stories of suicide bombers found in burning bomb trucks that were bound. We know about Liberty. We know about Lavon. We know about Mexico Ciity in 2001. We know that those who are the meanest and the loudest and shout with pride that "everybody else is crazy except us" are the ones to worry about. We know about about the 72 outstanding UN resolutions. We know that the bomb and rocket makers in America were the only ones to veto enforcement (UN sanctions) on 27 votes. We know Israel is not in compliance. Does everybody hate you because they know you are better than they are? Is that air your breathing? Do you want to survive, Israel? Do you want to be shunned? Will you continue to display your cultural inferiority complex and allow youselves to be slaves of hate. To be the slaves of arms dealers? Common sense is something Jewish mothers are famous for. Have you lost the lessons of your mothers? Why do you allow the descendants of Josephus to count money on the steps of the temple while you move closer to a Jones Town style Mosada? The dead know one thing Israel, it is better to be alive.

why do you spread nonsense like this? It just fans flames. I read several foreign newspapers every day and have seen none of this. Israel firing kassams; suicide bombers bound in burning trucks etc it hasn't appeared in any reputable newspaper in any country. Links to pages and stories please? I will happily apolgise if you come up with proof. Mike

Yhe British are probably the most antisemitic people there is and it goes back many years. The only reason Britain went to war against Hitler is because they wee afraid he would get to them. They showed how hateful they could be when they held the mandate over Palestine. If they had their way, there never would have been an Israel. Their greatest Prime Minister Disraeli could never have been had he not converted. They treat Israel much like they treated the early United Stated with jealousy because the US beat them and Israel is smarter than they are. and they can't stand it. They can't stand it because once they were great and now they are just a two bit country.

You accept the USS LIberty as a false flag attack by Israel? You accept the Lavon affair as a false flag attack by Isreal? You accept the Mexican Parliament as an attempted attack by Israel in 2001? You accept the above as a fact and you only need proof of the "tied" up bomber and Israeli Soldiers firing Qassam Rockets into an IDF post? So the first three you agree to - but you need links to the other 2. And, when I provide those Links (NYT and CNN), you will appologise? Is that correct?

when you make these posts try to say somthing worthwhile - people spend time reading them .. this boycott if it happens will simply harm Britain's academic status worldwide. See my post #39 Israel leads the UK in almost every academic area - it wants to cut of its nose to spite its face ? Let the UK academics boycott Saudia Arabia or Iran - good idea ?! regards, Michael

you brits have a cheek unfair treatment you should know about that youve been more unfair than any country i know of.claming things all over the world and we all saw the mess you made of irland and whats that that country thousand of miles away from the british isles that you risked so many of your armd foarces lives for oh yes the falklands the british a country of thives and pompus assesl

"You accept the Mexican Parliament as an attempted attack by Israel in 2001?" The above is not English and if English is not your native tongue then I am not blaming you for that but the above sentence means nothing. Your signature is 'dead body US' which suggests that you should be checked out by the the FBI ?! Are you a Palestinian wanting to attack the US because you percieve it to be pro Israeli ? Are drugs the problem? The language? Or bias caused by religious fanaticism? Let's get to the bottom of this, Mike

Just be honest with everyone, you got rejected by a Jewish girl. Don't be too hard on yourself Sadver our girls actually have standards.

I have read numerous reports of Jews who are visibly marked as Jewish being attacked by Muslims in the UK. It isn't safe to wear a kippah or a Jewish star on the streets of London. Why would any Jew choose to even visit such a country?

I suppose you get your facts from alazeera news because I never heard of such outlandish lies. Why would anyone be surprised that the Iraqi government, new or old would not boycott Israel. After all they are Arabs/ Muslims . One could have hoped that the Americans could have put pressure on it to recognize Israel but to imagine that they are in anyway really a democratic coutry would be an oxymoron situation. They have already said that they would be friends with everyone except the Jews so why be surprised. Every Muslim country is about the most corrupt countries in the world . None of them have contributed anything to the welfare of civilization. On the otherhand look at all the Nobel prize winners which Israel has produced and look at all the useful and new innovations in science and technology. I bet you find your cell phone very useful as well as the IM on your commputer. These were developed in Israel. Note that the wounded Fatah leader is presently in a Tel Aviv hospital where he is receiving the latest and best care in the world. So before you continue to blow off your stinking antisemitic mouth, think a little bit.

So either you accept the Mossad attempt to "bomb" the Mexican Parliament, the Lavon Affair and the USS Liberty as a product of Israeli Terrorism or are you changing the subject to my language skills because you know I speak the to the truth? BTW The FBI is watching AIPAC and guys like bomb trigger Israeli Geek Asner Karni - Pollard and Pollak too. A whole bunch of dual loyalists, like Abramnoffm etc are in their sights. The FBI does not have time to track down syntax violators or guys with anatomical names. Now are you just a little man with a big mouth - or are you interested in the truth and ready to appologize? You say, if you are Tel Aviv Mike - BTW - "Tel Aviv" was a NAZI ship that transported Bolsheviks (Zionists) and a few 100 Thousand German Marks to Israel in 1938. The Boshelvik Zionist Ashkenazi (not the descendants of Abraham) fed NAZI's the Diasporah for that priviledge. Now TA Mike - are you ready for the links and are you prepared to appologize? Or - are you saying you need links to the USS Liberty, the Lavon Affair and Mexico, October 2001? Speak up, Mike!

Is not your recital of national greatness just another way of say "nobody likes us because we are better than they are"? I'm all teary eyed. Are Ashkenazi decendants of Abraham? Were Bolshelvics and Trotsky just misunderstood? All sorts of truth are hidden: http://www.litek.ws/k0nsl/detox/Judea1.html Does a great nation not comply with 72 UN Sanctions? Does a great nation have to be reminded by the UN that the shelling and denial of services as are obliged by an occupier are a human rights violation? While you boast Israel sucks amost 10 Billion a year in grants and never repaid loans from US taxpayers. While you boast sayernims for the Church of Israel, AIPAC, Abrahamnoff, among a generous list have been involved in corrupting and compromising US political leaders? Is that greatness? The issue is survival. To survive Israel must realize her "true" value to the greater geo-political powers. Regardless of what the evengelicals of any of mens churches may wish to think, Isreal is being used. Israel and Palestine are disposable. Why do you think energy is so high? Why do you think US defense appropriations are nearing a half trillion dollars a year? Why do you think Israel gets billions from the US treasure and all those front line weapons? Israel is a market maker, a loss leader, for risk premium energy prices and a half trillion in annual arms procurement. Do you really think Israel will be as special when that purpose is not served? Israel is cannon fodder for quantities of gold none of us can imagine. Many blame Israel's gullibility to this grand money laundering scheme for the worlds problem. We expected more from the wise and just Jew. And the devine convenant and this "chosen" people moniker is so retro - dark ages. It's rediculous. If you are a wise Jew and you care for Israel you need to confess to the absurdity and falisy of that statement. Anyone alive is "chosen". It's so dungeon and draggon. It's BS. It just reinforces your cultural inferiority complex. Count the times. Look at you decline. In a northwind, turn your nose to the south and smell the rutty rot of death blowing over the wall from Palestine. Is that the smell of greatness?

Ellen Prescott is an Ignoramous. She has shown in this and in other communications that she has no knowledge of the Middle East, its history and its people. The histoy of the Jewish People and its connection to these lands dd not start 0,10,20, 50 or a hundred years ago. Its pre dates the existance of Christinaty and Islam. Dear ellen please answer me one question, why is there an Arab shrine and mosque on top of the Temple of Soloman? Now go back to school along with the rest of these anti-semetic and ignorant lectures, get educated and then come back to argue your case.

Women are beautiful period. And the fairer parishioners of Judaism are among them for sure. But this is also another issue. What is a Jewish woman? I know black Jewish women, I know Asian Jewish Women, I know a Persian Jewish woman. I know an Irish Jewish woman. I've seen pictures of Palestinian and Syrian and Egyptian Jewish women. I seen very white Jewish women (Does Tom Lantos coumt?:-) I may have been denied by a Jewish woman, but my crowd did not have curiosity about others religions. We enjoyed and appreciated all the flavors. Our cultural uniquenesses is something we should cultivate. Being denied is something I do not allow myself to suffer (too much). But to your point, if I had the courage, I would certanly risk being denied by a Jewish woman. What kind of man would not take that risk?

"While you boast Israel sucks amost 10 Billion a year in grants and never repaid loans from US taxpayers. " Israel has never received this amount as a grant, although once received this amount as a "loan guarantee" Nearly all the money Israel receives, around 3 billion a year, has be spent in the US benefiting your economy. It amounts to about 1% of our economy and many believe that we don't need it. Israel is the US strongest ally while the rest of the world condemns it. In contrast the Arab world receives far more from the US than Israel, so why aren't you talking about the way the Arab world with their strangle hold on oil supplies, and variable support for terror, is holding the US and the Western world by their b*lls? Quite obviously because your twisted illogical mind which distorts every aspect of the Israel/Palestine debate down to the common denominator of a "World Jewsih Conspiracy" sees no threat from the Muslim fundamentalist suicide bombing monsters that, according to you, Israel has no right to defend itself against. All ideologies like yours whether Nazism or Communism, Nasserism or Arafatism, are all gone and we are still here. You will be next.

the only thing worse than this sadly ill-informed and prejudiced article is the long list of bigoted, racist and sometimes downright hysterical contributions made by the majority of those sending 'talkback' soundbites in support of it.

..... defeated the Turks, ran Palestine while most of the present institutions of state were set up, allowed immigration (albeit not unlimited) from Europe while others such as the USA were refusing to allow Jews entry, invaded Egypt in 1956 opposed by the USA, without which the pseudo nazi Nasser might well have grown strong enough to eliminate Israel .. the Brits who have been fighting Islamic terrorists for over a hundred years (Mahdi, Sudan etc) .... fighting the Nazis in 1939 while the Americans were more interested in maintaining 'restricted' residences in New York and segregation of whites and blacks in the South) - you US guys have a lot of nerve!

I have rarely come accross such boring ill informed flatulence as that spouted by Cadavre. Where do such people with such views based on half truths,gross exaggeration and fantasy come from? This one is even worse than Ellen, that one knew nothing. This one proves the saying that a little knowledge leads to a large rant
