1. Israelis Are Rude
Snorri Snorrelson   (06.22.06)
Israelis are known worldwide for their rudeness and general boorish behavior. The French have nothing on you folks. Did you ever hear of DIPLOMATIC COURTESY?
2. THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR INTERMARRYING
zaq ,   ranaana   (06.22.06)
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR INTERMARRYING ....AND SELLING OUT YOUR PEOPLE, THEN WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IMPRESSED AND GIVE YOU SPECIAL TREATMENT......EXCUSE ME (I'D SAY SLICHA BUT YOU PROBABLY FORGOT WHAT THAT MEANS) BUT QUEEN ESTHER YOU ARE NOT
3. Dorit Moussaieff = DISORIYENTA
Gerd ,   Germany   (06.22.06)
4. Typical of every country.
Bill Pearlman ,   Chicago, USA   (06.22.06)
Totally aside from the fact that this woman seems to be a total b--ch. And the fact is that the woman in passport control was only doing her job. Every country seems to have elected leadership that seems to feel that they are royalty. The Kennedy family for example. And I'm willing to bet that Shimon Peres has not taken a step outside without body guards and an entourage since 1966.
5. Sickening behavior - of Mrs. President that is.
Andy   (06.22.06)

cattle trucks again ,   Alan SA   (06.22.06)
9. In case you don't know about this country, this is the place
Ron ,   LA   (06.22.06)
where Gorbachev and Regan met once. I see this "country" a lot on the screen of a Jambo fon my way from America to Europe. Looks pretty icy to me. Brrrr. By the way I always use my Israeli passport with pride. Law is a law for every Israeli. She obviously have problems with her ego. Remind me our congress women Mc Kakki who beat a policeman, who didn't recognized her in the Capitol building. She didn't have papers too. For some reason she was insulted than nobody recognized her ( this is exactly the reason: she IS nobody) Those polititians relatives think they are above the law. She should have married an Arab sultan for that...
10. Dorit is a stuck up nobody!
Ram ,   London   (06.22.06)
11. Poor president of Iceland
Ron ,   LA   (06.22.06)
If you know Israeli women you might guess who is REAL president of Iceland. ( not the one with the funny name). I bet he washes the dishes and takes out trash at home.
12. Dorit = garbage and a traitor to her people!
Anne ,   USA   (06.22.06)
13. Who breeds such mental retards like Dorit?
Bill ,   USA   (06.22.06)
The woman marries some.....and thinks that her excretions don't stink.
14. It is typical for the wayward Jews to feel superior to other
Melanie ,   USA   (06.22.06)
Jews.
15. She is a sick woman who is infected with hatred
Dotti ,   USA   (06.22.06)
toward her own people! Sick! Sick!
16. This is how real democracy should work
Alex ,   US   (06.22.06)
Law is the law and if she doesn’t like it – she and he hubby can kiss my ass.
17. #1 Go to sleep, polar bear
Ron ,   LA   (06.22.06)
18. She is NOt guilty, poor woman...
Mohammed Rabinovitch ,   Mecca   (06.22.06)
She just forgot her passport in freezer, where she keeps her documentation . This is common practice in Iceland and they are proud of it. She just forgot to unfroze it, poor girl...
19. Dear Dorit needs a lesson from Me
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (06.22.06)
Just Boycott Israel.
20. God help Iceland
Liz   (06.22.06)
I feel sorry for the Icelandic people with this piece of trash as the wife of their president - doesnt say much for him does it. Of course people hate jews if her behavior is an example...........and that is all they know! She prefers to carry a British passport to an Israeli one -------?????
21. Dont treat her badly
Ilan ,   Toronto, CA   (06.22.06)
She should have used a diplomatic Icelandic passport -- I agree. Not a UK one, unless for an odd reason the UK granted her diplomatic status. However --- We need all the supporters we can get, especially in the often anti-semetic scandinavian countries. I was in Iceland recently and the kids are covered in these anti-israeli neck scalves.
22. "This is why everyone hates Jews"
Arie   (06.22.06)
Because, unlike the residents of Iceland, we are a nation of LAWS. Where are OUR diplomatic corps demanding an apology for that agregious comment? As for his ex-Israeli wife, Israel has enough issues without needing the likes of her
23. "This is wby everyone hates Jews"
Arie   (06.22.06)
If all Jews, like the x-Israeli that married the Icelandic leader, behaved in the unlawful manner she did, all Jews would be hated!
24. President & wife arent above law. Rude Iceland polticians.
David ,   Boston, USA   (06.22.06)
Everyone follows the same rules. She apparantly just wanted to get around them. When you get money and power you forget the rules i guess.
25. When I fly to Israel, they are polite, but strict.
David ,   Boston, USA   (06.22.06)
Thats the way it should be. As for being rude? Hmm, I find that everywhere. I remember driving in Israel and I left room for someone to merge in front of me. He didnt know what to do since he probably wasnt used to it. Anyway, big deal, be patient and follow protocol.
26. iceland
(06.22.06)
chauvinist ignorami! Imagine they would have treated Arens when he was minister of defense like this in the USA (Arens also had US citizenship at a time). All of you would have yelled "antisemites" She married a foreign president by choice and none of you have the right to criticize her for it, it is none of your business. And as the wife of a foreign president she should be treated like one, whether you like it or not!!! And for your information, I live in Israel and came here by choice!
27. #19 - richard Hitchings boycotts Israel - LOL!
Kate ,   London   (06.22.06)
Little dick Hichtings boycotts Israel and Israel's economy booms. I guess this is what happens when a semi-literate manual labourer from one of Britain's poorest towns takes on Israel. Hitchings, 40% of all American billionaires are Jewish. Do you really think Israel needs your money?
28. Jews are easy to push around
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.22.06)
They have become the punching bag of the world because they have proved to be push overs and allowed constant pressure to wear them down. Even Iceland has turned sour against Israel . The harder Israel tries to be loved ,liked or accepted by the nations the more they become hated. No matter what crimes the Palestinian's commit against Israel ,their love by the nations is never lessened . This alone should have AWAKENED the Jews,but they love the delusion of global harmony. . Israel should spend more time and effort seeking to please the Holy One of Israel and less time cozying up to the nations of snakes.
29. That's why everyone hates the Jews?
NYC Girl   (06.22.06)
I was speechless when I read this. I'm sure this miserable shrew thinks that because she's Israeli she can get away with making such a vile, anti-Semitic statement. Well, here's a news flash for you, "Mrs. President." We don't give a damn who you're married to because Iceland is a piss ant country anyway. Not only that, but if your husband had an ounce of bloody sense, he'd be mortified by your behavior. Then, rather than upbraiding the Israeli ambassador, he should have offered an apology for your disgusting outburst.
30. Th einsulting Mrs Iceland
noel ,   Israel   (06.22.06)
She is clearly a self hating Jew who, although married to the President of Iceland, doesn't use an Icelandic or diplomatic passport and is ashamed of her Israeli nationality. Next time she arrives arrest her,throw her into jail and throw away the key.She is persona non gratia.
