1. Screw You!
Shimon ,   Israel   (06.29.06)
Boycott Canadian goods now!
2. Oh Canada… the greatest country on Earth… we love you
the Guy from London ,   London, Canada   (06.29.06)
3. All this boycott stuff is such nonsense
Jenny   (06.29.06)
I'm the biggest Israel supporter out there and I don't know if I even buy Israeli products or not. None of these divestment projects have or will make a dent. These people just have nothing better to do with their time.
4. Go back into your holes, losers!
marya ,   sacramento   (06.29.06)
You think your being an "activist," think your "speaking out" when what you really are is NOTHING. Yeah, you're all a bunch of jaded, aging, washed up faaaar left losers who want to feel alive again. You want to do something that will give you a reason not to suck the exhaust pipe. Go ahead and do it because your pathetic action will have no affect of Israel. Go smoke some dope, dope, your're nothing but IRRELEVANT!
5. Israelis should face the truth…
the Guy from Nablus ,   Nablus, PA   (06.29.06)
An influential minority has driven Israel to become a racist-aphartied state. I suggest to the (good and friendly) silent majority to take charge of their country and move it back to the civilized world. You can start by ending your occupation of the Palestinians and that should solve most of your external problems. This will give you more time to deal with the minority that wasted the blood of your innocent kids and your national wealth to please a bunch of racist settlers. Love… peace and coexistence is the only way.
6. United Church of Canada is the Church of the Devil
John ,   NZ   (06.29.06)
Any org./ govt which advocates/ supports the use of suicide bombings/ kidnappings are also Palis's partners in-crime. Ironically, this church also abandon their Holy Land and in doing so, they should pray with their ass sticking up and face Mecca.
7. Canuks Ey
Shaka   (06.29.06)
Canada has a Church? Who Knew? I thought they all where Muslim loving Atheists. Well it seems with this latest boycott of Israel the Canadians have made their voice known. I wonder do they boycott anyone else or is it just Israel? I mean if they are such a moral authority is Russia being boycotted for Checniya? Is China being boycotted for Tibet? Is the US being boycotted for Irag? etc. I doubt it. It seems only Israel deserves this wonderful Attention. However they should be careful someone might suspect them of Anti-Semitic intentions. Oh well the Canadian Church and the Canadian Union love their Arab and Muslims especially if they are terrorists thats why they always grant them visa into their country. So I hope they enjoy their terrorists especially in their country and continue to boycott Israel for being bad to the terrorists.
8. Remember Ray "of hope" Hanania helped
David Joesph ,   Orlando, Florida   (06.29.06)

9. Boycott Candian products
Danny ,   Tel Aviv   (06.29.06)
Jews world wide boycott Candian products!
10. Wrong
Blue Pinky   (06.29.06)
The Church should thank God for Israel and the Jews. If not for them, the terrorists and their dreams of global Islam would be coming for them.
11. So Mr. Gregersen...
David ,   USA   (06.29.06)
The attempt by the arab nations to annihilate the State of Israel that led to the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza wasn't destabilizing?
12. canadians ban....
Birdi ,   ISRAEL   (06.29.06)
so what ?? big deal, not suprising, liberal weak canada.screw you all.
13. boycott Quebec products labelled as "Product of Canada"
Reverend Hu Shakran ,   Toronto   (06.29.06)
English Canada has been occupying Quebed for almost 400 years. Vivre Le Quebec Libre
14. Investing in Palestinian Companies
M.Joseph ,   Sydney, Australia   (06.29.06)
Perhaps the Church would like to invest in factories making bombs and suicide belts.
15. Good step on the right way
Son Of Yafa ,   Yafa, Palestine   (06.29.06)
rational step , the entire world should wake up and see the danger of these people and their tru ugly face
16. Canadians are loved around the world, unlike Americans
(06.29.06)
17. yipee!
jman ,   il   (06.29.06)
this is coming from a religious group in a country that has sooooo much to do with israel. what are they going to do, not eat falafel? israel should boycott them back, they occupy indian land!
18. What timing!
John ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.29.06)
At a time when the elected government of "Palestine" is kidnapping and murdering Israelis, the church decides to boycott Israel! We are truly living in an upside-down world!
19. Canada: Boring, Naive, Pathetic
Les ,   Romania   (06.29.06)
The United Church of Canada?? Is this a political organization? Are they gonna blow themselves up, too in 50 years of time?
20. Don't blame Canada, just the these individual loonies...
Parkek ,   Hong Kong   (06.29.06)
Canada has actually taken a step in the RIGHT direction as of late, so try and be more targeted in your talkbacks. The problem as always is with the PC liberal left.
21. Not real Christians.
Daisy ,   USA   (06.29.06)
Many of the so-called Christian have been infiltrated by Muslims and are Christian in name only. Real Christians support Israel!
22. Banned
Annie ,   Israel   (06.29.06)
Let Canada church banned herself from comments of anti-israel. A one-sided comments. when it reach to your country killing of innocent people by a terrorist you will wake up. so be quite , you can't judge Israel whenever you like. In the Bible there is no commandments that give rights to terrorist to kill people. According to Bible if one slap you in the face, you have to give the other face too.A church should stay as a church. When terror comes to your door you will know.
23. boycott
Annie ,   Israel   (06.29.06)
The Canadian church wanted to employ the palestenian in their suicide bombers factory so they want to boycot Israel's goods.This isn't a church , this is a political and terrorist org. A terrorist loves and feels pity for a terrorist. - Love thy neighbours as thy self, And it is not written Kidnapped and kill thy neighbours- .
24. Who cares?
I Don't Care ,   Formerly Canada   (06.29.06)
What difference does it make? This is a tiny group of a much larger movement and it makes no difference what they think. Giving them this much space in the paper is providing them with publicity they wouldn't get otherwise.
25. Screw the stupid WASPS.
Avraham ,   Netivot   (06.29.06)
26. Canadian Church boycott
sam davies ,   london uk   (06.29.06)
Best part of Gregerson's comment is the last paragraph. "a policy of targeting Palestinian companies for investment could have a positive impact on the lives of people in the occupied territories" Undoubtedly correct. It would enrich the crooked thugs who run the place, perpetuate the despai of the ordinary Arab, and hit this Canadian idiot in his pocket when he loses his money.
27. Canadian History - Jews, Blacks and Dogs not allowed
David ,   Karmiel   (06.29.06)
Oh Canada, remember the Diefenbaker government? Actually, the Church is a least being honest. Canada is one of the most anti-Semitic countries in the world. According to the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada there were 857 anti-Semitic incidents in 2004, an increase of 46.7% over the previous year. 530 of these incidents were in Ontario! The church's action is surprising when you consider that an Al Qaeda inspired terror attack against targets in Ontario was foiled by the Canadian Police. The names of those arrested, Fahim Ahmad, Mohammed Dirie, Amin Mohammed Durrani and so on, so suggest a certain ethnic or religious group. The murder of Israelis by Hamas and others who do NOT recognize Israel's right to exist in any borders and who have declared war on Israel numerous times is viewed by many as "just another Jew dead"! Maybe we Jews should boycott both Canadian and Norwegian salmon. I am sure we can survive with "lox" on rye.
28. Toronto church to boycott Israeli goods
Mike ,   Alberta, Canada   (06.29.06)
PLEASE, please, can someone take all these united church guys out of Canada and into their country. We, Canadians, really don't want them, but we're stuck with the buggers.
29. Go to hell !!!!
Ioannis Kafetzis ,   Nicosia , Cyprus   (06.29.06)
Yes go to hell you canadian hypocrits , ass leakers , Israel will get over your boycott. One more thing Israel is real and forever.
30. who cares about tht church
haim ,   mtl canada   (06.29.06)
