1. Supportersof terrorists are of course violent themselves.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.08.06)
Dr. Evrony should some pack heat and do some target practice the next time these scumbags come near.
2. It's freedom of speech. Israel must respect it
Arabian Wolf   (10.08.06)
3. Academic terrorism.
Tahl ,   Israel   (10.08.06)
Typical Arab reaction, very much like the recent protests against the Pope, and against Denmark. Instead of civil responses, they do the only thing they know: violence, intimidation, and terrorism. Even on the academic grounds. Their whole ethos is based on violence. Ireland - you'd soon be sorry for your growing Muslim influence, just ask the French, the British, and Australia, about the dreadful social implications. Zion Evroni - Hazak v'ematz.
4. islam is the religion of peace.... hahahaha
aaron ,   ra'anana   (10.08.06)
5. LOL, it was Arabs and IRA types
James ,   formerly Ireland   (10.08.06)
The rest of Ireland supports Israel and flies the Israeli flag. It is only Arabs and IRA types who sympathize with their terrorist buddies in the east. Terrorists like to stick together!
6. Protestants fly the Israeli flag!
Carolann ,   Ireland   (10.08.06)
There's a strange sister ethnic group thing going on in the North. Catholic neighborhoods celebrate minority causes such as the Basques, Palistinians and the Turkish Kurds. In fact, a disproportionate percentage of tourists you see in the North are from groups caught up in ethnic strife. Protestant towns fly the Israeli flag.

Darcy ,   Boston, USA   (10.08.06)
Haven't you heard? Ireland IS part of EurAbia. The Irish have sold their souls to the devil.
9. freedom of speech
Erika ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.08.06)
tell the Muslims about freedom of speech. You might not live till the end of telling them but hey you have it.

11. WHAT WAS FOUND IN IRELAND STRANGLY ENOUGH - READ
andrew ,   Miami, FL USA   (10.08.06)
WHEN THE LEBENON WAR BROKE OUT - A STRANGE ACHIOLOGICAL FIND WAS MADE IN IRELAND FOR SOME REASON THE IRISH TIME BURIED IT.... http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2006/07/26/bogpsalm_arc.html?category=archaeology&\1guid=20060726093000 SO...WHATS DOES PSALM 83 SAY ? www.acwitness.org/psalm83english.html

freedom of speech is to express by your mouth, not by fists.
13. go hump the couch arabian wolfy

14. i really can't express in words how much i hate these people
yonatan ,   nyc   (10.08.06)
15. We find this SURPRISING?
Menachem ,   T-A, IL   (10.08.06)
This is hardly a surprise. Islam, the religion of peace that will kill everyone to prove it. What a joke. Sad that the EU doesn't remember how appeasement of one particular group led to WWII, but I guess the EU doesn't really care about that.
16. 2. Arabian dog: That's not "free speech"
(10.08.06)
17. Yonaten, don't be a hater
common sense ,   Los Angeles   (10.08.06)
It is only harmful to youself to hate these people. On the other hand you should protect and defend yourself from them as you would from any disease. The ignorance and hatred they perpetrate is like a cancer. You do not spend your energies hating a disease but rather try to neutralize and ultimately erradicate it. Just a thought.
18. These idiots are everywhere
James McNamara ,   Broken Hill   (10.08.06)
Ireland is a democratic country,and should remain so. That the Isreali ambassador was treated in this scandalous manner is disgusting. And that no one was arrrested is beyond the pale.
19. Ireland: Pro-Palestinian protesters
silvio ,   italy   (10.08.06)
I think that that part out from the rules of them terrorists call the Moslem part of terrorists. I don't think that the Irish brothers have so confused the ideas. Don't they want same their liberty? And ittherefore must not be as also for Israel?
20. IRA and PLO were allied for years
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.08.06)
Irish on average are more anti-Israel and the Ulster Protestants are pro Israel. They are around 51% of the population of Ulster (British Northern Ireland) and feel that their 'country' soon won't exist.
21. Anti-semites fear strong Israel, prefer persecuted Jews
Stand strong Israel ,   USA   (10.08.06)
even if they have to lie, persecute, and group mob one. "Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was but one, and I blessed him and made him many. The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion… he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. "Listen to Me, My people; hear Me, My nation: The law will go out from Me; My justice will become a light to the nations. My righteousness draws near speedily, My salvation is on the way, and My arm will bring justice to the nations. … Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But My salvation will last forever, My righteousness will never fail. "Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations." Awake, awake! Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. … Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea so that the redeemed might cross over? The ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. "I, even I, AM He who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass, that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor? The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread. For I AM the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is His name. I have put My words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand— I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, 'You are My people.' " Isaiah 51:1-16 "...This is the word of the LORD... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." Zechariah 4:6 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." Ephesians 6:10 Apostle Paul --Pharisee --Sanhedrin --Student of Gamaliel
22. Stop the academic pro- Islamic terror !
Sara ,   Israel   (10.08.06)
I am sure most Irish people understand how the Israeli people suffer from the fanatic Muslims. I pray Ireland will not undergo our dreadful experience with these radical monsters. But I do hope those Irish who demonstrated violence against the Israeli ambassador will "enjoy" their beloved Muslims' terror one day! Have a look at the map: Our country is so incredibly tiny ! The refugees' problem would have long ago been solved by the rich Arab countries, but they prefer to keep their brothers in misery in order to use it as an element in their vicious and deceitful propaganda against Israel .Long Live Israel !
23. Time to boot these monsters out of the west
Johnson ,   USA   (10.08.06)
and send them back from where they came.
24. Wire Israeli cars with 50,000 volts, it works. You can buy
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (10.08.06)
devices that wire to the steering wheel and give a car thief 50,000 volt reasons to run like hell if he touches the wheel. It doesn't have enough amperage to kill, just make them wish they were dead and make them never want to steal a car again. Wrap the car in this stuff and see achmed dance like never before and never again. But, let them climb on first, then flip the switch, don't spoil their fun. Keep the videos coming, great entertainment. "Gee son, I never saw your hair so "pointy" and your voice so high."
25. To the 'Arabian Wolf' #2
Rabies catcher ; /   (10.08.06)
If you call attacking the car and pounding on it with fists 'freedom of speech' then that prooves how much you understand a basic democratic right.

28. Why do most Irish people despise Israel's behaviour?
magnus ,   galway ireland   (10.08.06)
Ok, I'm not going to let my country or fellow students be knocked in this way. Although I was not at the law society lecture by the ambassador, I'm sitting in the university in question. A friend of mine helped organise it and she said it was going to be a hot potato. Although I don't condone the physical assault on the man(our prime-minister got a similar bout of car-whacking when he visited here 2 years ago), I do strongly support the rest of the protests that happened. You have to ask yourself this-WHY DO THE VAST MAJORITY OF IRISH PEOPLE DESPISE ISRAEL'S ACTIONS? The palestinian people live thousands of miles away and have no cultural connection to ireland so there is no question of bias. The reason is that DESPITE the obvious inanities and inequalities of the islamic way of life, DESPITE the superior quality of life and social freedoms offered by Israel, the Irish can see that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is blatantly wrong and injust. Our former president Mary Robinson said it herself when she visited a refugee camp in the west bank and not a nobler, more educated woman exists on this planet. It has nothing to do with anti-semitism, the supposed bias of the bbc, the parallels of our own conflict or bored students who'll protest at the drop of a hat. This is the opinion of the vast majority of people I talk to young and old, student and non-student and I don't mix in radical banner-waving circles. We aren''t pro-terrorist because we are pro-palestine- did "pro-terrorists" support the Americans in their war of independence. In that case, Israel helicoptor gunships firing on "gaza strip bomb making factories" is simply terrorism in the guise of self-defence simply because its done by a state. The world isn't black and white like that, despite what George W. might have some people believe, divided into terrorists and the goodies, like some old Batman episode. Its time Israelis acknowledged that we don't seek the downfall of their state(far from it), we just want to see some quality way of life for those millions of displaced palestinians. Thank you.
