who cares!!!!!!???   (09.24.06)

2. The Irish
Craig ,   Western Australia   (09.24.06)
Typical of IRA supporters, can't move on from the british so its time to pick on Israel, fix your own problems before you pick on others
3. IRISH ACADEMIA : FULL OF SHIT
Scott   (09.24.06)
Surely these people are joking? I mean they are the LAST that should speak down to Israel. With a long history of disgraceful behaviour that has only been calmed in recent years - that is only just holding together - they want to moralise to Israel. Stupid people with no idea of of the problem and only listening to lying scum who put on a good show and the dopey Irish academics suck it all in. No wonder the Irish are the butt of jokes world wide.
4. Ireland.. that's somewhere in Africa, right?
George   (09.24.06)
5. Academics
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (09.24.06)
Lets not blame Ireland,for it is "Academics" who are against Israel. From England to America and yes Israel,it is the "Academics" who are pushing for the boycutt against Israel. I just don't understand why people who are so educated are brain dead.
6. Irish Boycott
Simon ,   London GB   (09.24.06)
Yet again we see academics pronouncing on Israel but never prepared to criticise, China or Saudi Arabia fro example. In the end who looses out. Ireland as it will not share accademic research, arab students that attending Israeli universities and finally everyone. The same voices who say you must sit down and talk to your enemies then say but we wont talk to you. Only academics are incapable of seeing the contradictions in this position.
7. Ignorant
James ,   USA   (09.24.06)
Sorry but Irish academics do not matter to Israel nor to the world. This is coming from an American Irishman by the way. The Irish have become to "European" lately and have been engaging in too much anti-American talk for my like. They can shove it.
8. This isn't news and nobody cares
Elle ,   USA   (09.24.06)
9. to who care
i care ,   jerusalem   (09.24.06)
irland will drink peer as you sujest //but in iran this beer is forbidden ..what do you suggest them to drink you said oil ,,, or blood but blood is forbidden in islam ...you say to kill and eat the dead ...also dead is forbidden to be eaten in islam ..so the best to israil not to eat or drink any thing ...but starvation is not good ...what do you think that israil must drink ...the glass of bitterness //but i think they had drink the bitterness befor they invented the glass and befor any one poured the any thing in it ,,,this is becouse they did not listen to any and say who care
10. If you stop reporting this stuff, it'll disappear even faste

Darren ,   Tampa, FL USA   (09.24.06)

12. Academics - 61
RIB ,   USA   (09.24.06)
They seem to read everything in their field and not much else. ~"There is widespread international condemnation of Israel's policy of violent repression against the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories". - Really? Well, let's look, then, we'll talk! http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6130 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6341 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nnbmVtZ0QY&mode=related&search=

14. What do you expect from them?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.24.06)
The irish catholics were supported by arab terrorists and they support the arab terrorists.
15. What´s Palestine? UN biased! Irish wrong!
Isaac Haskiya ,   Roskilde-Denmark   (09.24.06)
16. Prof Yosef Yeshurun : FULL OF SHIT
(09.24.06)

Jon ,   Oz   (09.24.06)
20. It will be their loss
Jon ,   Oz   (09.24.06)
21. 61 Irish sympathizers of Islamic Terrorism !!!
KMR ,   Middle East   (09.24.06)
22. U Guys are all idiots!
Kal ,   Syria   (09.24.06)
Why when a bunch of people just wanna express what they feel without hurting anyone, get rammed by idiotic comments specially when its against the so called nation "Isreal"?? just leave them alone, Im sure if this was a support movment for isreal the headline would be: " Irish academics around the world and in mars and on the moon and in neptune support the cause of ISREAL"...and ur comments would be" Oh...we love Z Irish, oh how wonderfull, oh lets support them!!" ur just a bunch of one sided people who look at things in a stupid and narrow minded point of veiw!! i sugest that everyone educates them selves before commenting. and for the stupid talkbacks that i will recieve, i tell everyone that im not really happy and glad about what syria is doing in the middeast, just to shut u up!!
23. Irish academics are dickheads
John ,   NZ   (09.24.06)
This is the product of Gerry Adams visit to Palestine to meet Hamas leaders. It's either they are brainwashed or paid by Iran....or they drink too much Guiness. Probably all of the above.
24. Go on and Label them as AntiSemitists!!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (09.24.06)
25. Is this true?
Scott ,   Haifa   (09.24.06)
"If" this is true it is very surprising, as you would think Irish are sympathetic to being the "picked" on minority, for all the years they were discriminated in the U.S.
26. IRISH ACADEMICS ? THEY HAVE UNIVERSITIES OVER THERE?
(09.24.06)
27. When Irish Eyes Are Crying
Raymond ,   South Africa   (09.24.06)
If they not drunk or eating potatoes,they running down the English.The reality is that the Irish Catholics are pro anything thats anti Jewish, while the Irish Protestants fully support Israel.May the Catholic jerks burn in the very hell they fear so much, while they ironically pray to that great Jew "Jesus Christ".Hypocrytes deserve what they get. AM YISRAEL CHAI
28. This idiocy again. Even Nusseibeh dislikes it. And only 61.
Me ,   Here   (09.24.06)
61 fools who boycott Israel but not Somalia, Sudan, Palestinians, Saudi, Syria, Iran, etc. 61 fools. Of course, there are thousands of academics from Ireland, most of whom are more interested in advancing human knowledge than they are in propaganda and idiotic academic boycotts. 61 fools comprise a very small %.
29. ALL THE WORLD THINKS THE SAME
JACKSON ,   USA   (09.24.06)
30. BOOTLICKERS...
stephane ,   france   (09.24.06)
french also are used to lick the boots of the nazislamist in hope that they won't suffer terrorism...but it doesn't help...the number 2 of al-quaeda promised that france is the next target...so irish can lick our ennemies boots,it not sure their arab friends won't stabb them in their back like all arabs are used to do.
