1. Boycott
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.24.07)
Let them also boycott all the products , medecines , therapies , in one word , everything discovered and invented by Jews and Israelis . They'll be back in the middle ages , that's maybe the best place for them , in the dark ages .
2. Leave Freud to the Brits!!!
enzo ,   london,uk   (05.24.07)
You are, very often, right, Charles! But please, leave the psychiatrists to the Brits...! They do need them...!
3. Three Cheers for Professor Weinberg!
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.24.07)
Some day, and it may not be too far in the future, they'll be begging us to save their butts again. Do they not know how much of the technology they're using was developed by the very people they boycott? If they know it, they're hypocrites, and if they don't know it, they're idiots. Either way: What a bunch of losers! Send melons to them.
4. Enzo , NO , No and NO
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.24.07)
No , Enzo , or you boycott , and then no Freud , no cell phones , no blood transfusions , no anti polyo vaccines , no penicilline [ a Jew found the way to produce this ] and no to many other things . And i'm sorry for them , they asked for it . They suffer from a grave illnes , and i don't think that the great Freud could help . But if they don't boycott , certainly that one of the great Jewish and/or Israeli scientist can do something .
5. Kol ha-Kavod!
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (05.24.07)
Professor Weinberg has shown more backbone than most Israeli politicians in power today. He sets not only a wonderful intellectual example with his career, but a great moral example as well with his actions.
6. Read Weinberg : "Judaism is an insult to human dignity"
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.25.07)
Weinberg says "Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Just replace Judaism in each any every instance you see religion because Weinberg is atheist and see all the same :eligion. What does he find in Israel to defend?
7. britain the enemy of israel!!!
mandi ,   israel   (05.25.07)
8. kol hakavod!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.25.07)
9. #1 charles. they are already in the dark ages
debra ,   usa   (05.25.07)
in their hearts with all their hateful anti-semitisim. you are correct, without jewish discoveries in the sciences, they would be living as barbarians.
10. A smart move by a smart man
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.25.07)
11. To #6
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.25.07)
I prefer to change the professor's statement a little differently: "Radical Islam is an insult to human dignity. As it is, you have stupid people doing stupid things and people who are more stupid doing things that are more stupid. But for really stupid people to do really stupid things, that takes radical Islam." Any questions?
12. The American Jews should boycott the anti-Semitic UK
Bill ,   USA   (05.25.07)
13. boycott uk now. they are working with the enemy.
codi ,   haifa israel   (05.25.07)
14. to #6 an #11
nani ,   jeursalem   (05.25.07)
why change his statement and not just accept it for what it means? being atheist or not, he talks about religion and not judaism.
15. To #14
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.25.07)
Hello? Silly me! I thought Judaism was a religion. Please, don't tell me it's just a recipe for hamentaschen.
16. To #14 again
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.25.07)
Ok, I will try a kinder, gentler approach. Maybe you meant to say that Prof. Weinberg was talking about religion in general and not about Judaism in particular. In that case, I accept your criticism, although I was not altering the gist of Prof. Weinberg's statement; only that of #6. Peace?
17. You deserve all the honor in the world !
SHARON ,   ISRAEL   (05.25.07)
Professor Steven Weinberg ! Υοu deserve all the honor in the world ! In fact you deserve the Nobel laureate for your bravery in your stand against the anti semitic so called "British academy". Bravo !!!
18. Self Righteous Fools
Jewish CANADIAN ,   Toronto   (05.25.07)
I am afraid that in ALL forms of human endeavor the world owes FAR more to Britain than it does to Israel or Jews.Boycott everything British?Then it is you who will sink back unto barbarism.
19. Self Righteous Canadian Jackass
Jerry Sussman ,   Alexandria, USA   (05.25.07)
I just learned a new idiom. When translated to American English, the expression "Jewish Canadian" means "jackass." Britain contributed more to the world than Jews? Funny to compare a country (geographic) to a people (Jews). Shall we compare people to people? By any standard, in proportion to the population, Jews as a people have contributed far more of value to the world than any other group, including the Catholics and Protestants of "Britain." One need only mention Moses and (Ten Commandments), Jesus (all of Christianity), Einstein (physics), Salk and Sabin (medicine) to refute the nonsense that you suggested. It also may interest you to know that, in Germany and elsewhere, prior to the rise of Nazism, it was a Jew (Siegfried Marcus) rather than Daimler/Benz, et al., who was credited with the invention of the internal combustion engine; and that it was another Jew (Jacob Riess), who was credited with the invention of the telephone.
20. The Brits blocked Jewish immigration to Israel in WW2
Howard ,   NYC   (05.25.07)
21. #18 Thank you!
enzo ,   london,uk   (05.25.07)
That was the joke of the century!!! Hahaha...!!!
22. Jewish [ ? ] canadian
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.25.07)
Well that's the latest news ! the world owes more to UK than to Israel or Jews . What please ? colonialism ? wars all over the world ? Exploitation of Africa ? Now the Jews : Bloodtransfusion , vitamines , anti polyo vaccines , penicilline [ the way to produce by Boris Chain ] cell phones , intel chips , all discovered or developped by Jews or in Israel . That's only a small top of the iceberg . Jews were awarded at least 17 % of all the Nobel prizes . So , if you tell something , be at least honest , or shut up .
23. #19 & #22: Hotdamn', go get 'em, boys!!! :-)
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.26.07)
24. Who cares about the British
Kiwi Jew ,   Wellington, NZ   (05.26.07)
Who cares about the backward Britons anyway. Jews will still contribute to Nobel prizes and scientifc discovery out of all proportion with their numbers. And fortunately all the real scientific work comes out of Israel and the US, not boring Britain. To think these are the people that persecuted Maori, Zulus, Aborigines, etc etc who sit on their high moral horse.I hope it kicks them.
25. Britis education system
israeli ,   israel   (05.26.07)
The other day, on CNN they were interviewing a British official who was explaining that they no longer teach about the Holocaust because it is too dangerous for the teachers. Apparently they are getting death threats from the Moslem part of the populace. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This message is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, 10 to 15 thousand homosexuals and 1,900 Catholic priests, Gypsies, and all those who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated, with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because the Islamo-Facists want to do it again. This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide! Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Please send this to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain!
26. END GAME!!
Jewish CANADIAN ,   Toronto   (05.26.07)
Since a Brit-NOT a Jew-is credited with inventing the World Wide Web I guess I wont be hearing from you racist fools anymore!!
27. Boycott American money
Yusef ,   California   (05.26.07)
I am sickened that my tax money supports your apartheid.
28. To racist jewish [ ? ] canadian
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.26.07)
in 2006 there were around 2000 Hi Tec start ups in Israel , 70 of them quoted at the Nasdaq , second highest number [ USA no 1 of course ] Hi Tec accounts for 50 % of Israel's exportations , Israel has 135 engineers / 10000 workers [ EU 60 , Japan 65 ] So now shut up with your racist and disgusting tb's
29. #Jewish Canadian
enzo ,   london,uk   (05.26.07)
The WWW..? You must be joking AGAIN! You also invented football, but that doesn't make you the best footballing country in the world! Hahaha...!!!
30. To racist jewish [ ? ] canadian
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.26.07)
The WWW invented in the UK , maybe by Jews ? but OK , let's accept this . But to use the web you need computers , and many , if not most , components were developped here , in this tiny country and by Jews you hate so much . So spray you venom by tamtam , not by Israeli develloped products .
