1) Why does Israel is oblige to build a Security Fence, Wall, you name it. ? Why? 2) Why does Israel have to be with guns all the time? why The answer is BECAUSE SINCE 1948, DAY ONE, 5 TO 7 ARAB ARMIES WANTED TO DESTROY ISRAEL AND KILL ALL JEWS. THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE OF ARAB TERRORISM! PERIOD. I KNOW IT´S ETHICALLY WRONG, BUT... THE NUMBER OF SUICIDE BOMBINGS DECREASED AND LIVES WERE SAVED. PERIOD. YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF WHY SHOULD ISRAEL RESORT TO THIS EXTREME MEASURE. WHY YOU ALL KNOW WHY LONG LIVE ISRAEL

good, the more crap like that the less the likelihood of a Pali state

You are the exact definition of a bigot racist. You are no better that the jihadists. Do you only know the meaning of the word "peace" ?

Do you know how many of our people were killed over the years in the name of the guy you are named after? You are the biggot,and because of people like you we can only dream of peace. Why dont you come here and taste a little of the s**** we are subjected to by your "peace loving" so called "balastinians."( and take a bullet or two) oh & Beware of kidnapping in Aza. So go back to your casino,roll the rullette wheel,sip your wine ,and SHUT UP.

I certainly understand why you would take offense to Jason's remarks, but Christa, at the end of the day - these people are non-negotiable. They want Jews dead and will go to extraordinary lengths to do it. People say 'lets talk" to resolve the problems. Thats how we solve problems usually ,but its clear to me that the islamists are not interested in talking but doing. Even during the " Oslo peace times" , these guys just couldnt contain themselves. One homicide bombing particular in 1996 on an Egged bus springs to mind straightaway. Israel and the region are all heading for a major showdown anyway and undoubtedly many, many innocent people will die for nothing.

Pretty stupid, but that's what these noisy ,ignorant protest groups are known for. These people are NOT passive protesters they are loud-mouthed scum who endanger security personnel and themselves. In arab countries, this stupid and friends would dead or silenced if they wanted to carry on in the same way.

did you know the word "bigot" was invented by a whiney little bitch whos life was so good he had to invent things to whinge about? you think trying to survive is called racism? then i would be honoured to be called a racist

where hundreds of thousands of people are being killed and let see what kind of treatment she will get there. Instead she comes to Israel to protest that Jews are not being murdered because of the fence.

This woman is another Irish, Israel basher. She comes from a primitive country that was allied with Nazi Germany, a country who sent their condolenses to the Nazi German Government when Hitler shot himself; a country that still does not recognise abortion; a country that till recently threw young unmarried women who were pregnant into asylums.

I read national news and ynet. From what I can see the leftest liberal US press leans much more to the pals then the Israelis. Those who think Peace is the answer to evil people have no clue until they are a victim.

You want to see who jihadists are and what they do? They teach 12-year olds to behead people. To sever heads of living breathing human being, as if they were a goat. Actually, in our society, it is a crime to treat goats in such a way. Read this and weep. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070420/ap_on_re_as/pakistan_child_executioner_1 And in case you would say that ‘palistinians ‘would never do this, let me remind you the lynching of those two Israelis and all those setting bombs among children, while Arab mothers proudly cheer on. Now, do you actually can show that #30 beheaded anybody? Your f***** Nobel Peace Prize laureate is siding with murderous, deprave people devoid of any redeeming qualities. You defend them hiding behind innate slogans, like calling people ‘racist’ (another word that entirely lost its meaning.) Israelis have every right to see that they and their families are safe, and if that means killing the aggressors, so be it. It is Israelis who are the victims and the Arabs, the so called 'Palestinians' are the aggressors. Shame on you. There is no reason for Carrigan, you and the rest of 'progressive' fellow travelers not know that you are all supporting ideology of totalitarianism, intolerance and murder. Yes, being anti-Zionist is being anti-Semitic and de facto a proponent of the second Holocaust. So get off your high horse.

The only requirement is that they hold the 'correct' political views.

The European and international news are very quick to report any injuries from the Palestinian side. People die every day in terrible condition all over the world and nobody even mentions it (how many died today in Somalia, China and so on? Anybody knows?) but when a Palestinian or a pro-Palestinian (=anti Israel) gets hurt, it's all over the news. Police use tear gas and rubber bullets in every corner of the world. I remember the Belgian Police using water canons against us, University students, and many of my friends got hurt (and that demonstration had been allowed by the police). We are talking here about people that have no right of vote, nothing to say about the politics of Israel and are protesting in a no-go zone. They are guests of Israel and go back to their comfy houses after a few days or weeks of protest. Let those foreigners protest the doing of their own government. Even if they were right about the FENCE, they still have nothing to say about it. It is Israel internal politics and Israel is a fool to allow those people to demonstrate for a cause that is far from theirs (and far from right...hahaha I liked this one...far from right=extreme left)!! The maximum I would accept from all these foreigners is to participate in these talkbacks, more then that we don't need. ultimately, they will soon join Alan and be kidnapped or killed by the very same people they are trying to help. Israel is not trying to grab lands. If that was the case, we would never have given back Sinai nor Gaza you foolish lying leftists. Israel is trying to protect its abiding citizens from the rage of the Arabs left over from the past wars. Anyone who doesn't accept this is lying to himself and is just a tool in the Islamic dream of destroying Israel at all cost. Stop being a sheep for the imams and start caring for your children in your own country, we'll take care of our children (and stop complaining about the situation in the territories, Muslims always brag that martyrdom is the best thing that can happen to them so don't feel bad, they actually want to be killed).

Why does Israel permit entry to these foreign Israel haters knowing full well that their actions in the country will be against Israel?

I came and I saw. And I did not like what I saw : a form of apartheid. No wonder so many decent people dont support Israel.

Read a book by Joan Collins called "Time Immortal". She was a liberal news reporter who wanted to show a history of the palistinians and how unfairly they were being treated. What she found shocked her. Truth was, the "palistinians" were asked to leave Israel by their Arab bothers during the war and then left as orphans or pawns against Israel. This thorn in Israel's side was created by the Arabs and they refuse to help the people they made a promise to. This is the real crime. Protest against Egypt, Jordan, Syria etc...because it is they who caused this problem.

Sorry I screwed up the name of the book and author my very bad. The book is called "From Time Immortal" and Joan Peters is the auther. I think Joan Collins sang that song about bringing in the clowns is what I am for not getting it right. Sorry!

Like Jason # 30, you are a calling for a Jewish jihad. I am against all forms of religious extremism, whatever it is. And keep in mind that Monaco is a small tolerant neutral country which has existed for centuries !

Why has the Mideast been a mess since 1948 ? And the more so since 1967 ? The US is responsible. My reasoning is : Palestine is an Israeli colony (I dont remember who wrote the book entitled "Palestine : the last colony". I know he is a Belgian). Israel is a US protectorate (who finances and gives weapons to Israel, etc. ?) . Then Palestine is indirectly a US colony. Period.

Because everyone of Israel's neighbors wishes to destroy them we protect them. The Palistinians are and should be the Arab's problem, but they make them the worlds instead. Israel is it's own country not the US's or anyone elses. Israel allowed those who did not listen to the Arabs to become Israeli citizens. They did take care of those Arabs who choose to stay. But those who choose to leave can blame their own fathers for listening to the lies of the surrounding Arab nations. Arab leaders themselves have admitted to this sin. Period Period.

Given that most of pre-war and even some post-war (WWII, i.e.) were shouting from their rooftops Jews go to Palestine, how is does that make the Jewish state an American colony? Besides, given Belgium's record in Congo, any Belgian should first clear their own (King Leopold's) mess before sticking their nose where it don't belong! and spreading lies and disinformation while at it. !!!

What you say is fact. The arabs told their Pal brothers to leave and come back after the job was done - exterminating the Jews, that is. Of course that didnt happen. But instead of allowing these people to integrate into their communities unlike the lucky ones who went to europe - they continue to keep these people stateless after 60 years , the mantle now being passed on to a new generation. This is a disgrace that is always conveniently brushed aside by the guilty. Always stay on message: "Its all Israel's fault" (as usual)

sorry, my post should read : Given that most of pre-war and even some post-war (WWII, i.e.) Europeans

Mairead Maguire is a God-inspired prophet of global nonkilling. Completely opposed to killing of a single Israeli, Palestinian or anyone else on earth. So why the fearful vicious Talkbacks with "incitement, slander, racist slurs, and innapproriate language"? Will Israelis be more secure and happy if she is killed (as Talkback caller advocated) like Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King? Rather is she not worthy of respect and support in her tireless efforts to end a ALL KILLING EVERYWHERE and injustices associated with KILLING. For her record please check Google, Wikipedia, Pax Christi, and Nobel Peace Laureates sites. We all need to learn that killing nonkilling peace prophets does not bring peace.

guess what. I google Ms. Corrigan's record, and I came across a very interesting fact. Her first peace movement "petered out due to in large part to objections from Catholics that the Peace People were focusing entirely on republican violence and ignoring loyalist and state violence by the British security forces". How can we be sure that she has gained any sense of balance since then? Besides, I have been monitoring news and mainly photographs concerning the so-called peaceful Bilin protests - these are just lame excuses or Palestinians and peace activists to insult and abuse the IDF.

Attentionmust be brought to injustice for peace thru justice to prevail. One heroic woman. Why do you think she won the Nobel Peace Prize?

Land grabbing with walls will not bring peace! Tear it down

Hey drumgoole. Ever read any Karl Jung. It's strange you mention terrorist, and then have the nerve to make an assasination allusion. Who's the terrorist? You're pathetic. Am suprised ynet posts your violent propaganda. May your dreams never come true.

Your prayer Bob has not been answered. Over eleven years have passed since you wrote that ugly comment. I was with Mairead in Dublin 2 weeks ago at an international conference and she is flying high.She is still working for a better world, without war, where the human rights of all are respected.
