2. Just a bunch of anti-semites, right guys??
Khalid   (05.26.07)
Just pretend the wall isn't even there.
3. Report Brits to US Goverment
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (05.26.07)
This would be illegal by US Law by particpateing in the Arab Boycott. They should be reported to US Goverment. If they are currently doing buisness in the US they can be fined massively. They also may have a hard time getting jobs in the US in the future.
4. Is there someone in britain who supports Israel?

5. Architects build a chasm.
Colin ,   Barcelona   (05.26.07)
This UK architects group are concerned about the living conditions of Palestinians, but their approach and tactics are dangerous. There are Israeli architects wishing for a peaceful solution to the conflict, but they know that only a true political solution will bring it. Hamas refuses to talk. While Hamas deliberately aims its missiles at Israel's schools, hospitals and houses, these UK architects for Palestine succeed to build a chasm between them and all Israelis and they know it. Their actions are one sided and designed to fuel hatred against Israel in order to pressure her. No wonder antisemitism in the UK is being spearheaded by these kinds of groups, who turn a blind eye to the British atrocities in Irak. By blaming someone else they can avoid to scrutinize themselves.
6. Britain Takes France's Place
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (05.26.07)
As the most anti-Israel country in Eurabia. Britain has always had a "loony left" totally removed from reality & the hypocricy of it's foreign policy is second to none. Sadly, it's been all downhill since Margaret Thatcher.
7. Whats new
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (05.26.07)
In Israels war of Independence the commander of the Jordanian army was the the Brit Glubb Pasha[John Glubb] as well as most of Jordans officer Corp.British pilots flew for the Egyptians [and were shot down]LOL.So whats the big news of the Brits being anti Jewish?

12. European anti-semitism
Joel ,   White Plains, NY   (05.26.07)
In view of the history of the last century, is European anti-semitism still really newsworthy? Isn't this a case of "dog bites man"? The views of these architects tell us more about them than they do about Israel.
13. Oooh How the British LOATHE their Jews
malcolm   (05.26.07)
14. islamisation

15. British Architects against Israel
ger ,   Raanana, Israel   (05.26.07)
Next come the ice cream vendors.
16. Isn't this an old story
Danny   (05.26.07)
It was reported in Feb 2006, October 2006, March 2007. Why do you keep repeating the same story? Why does a couple of students pretending they are "acting out" "abuses" make the news? Is it to give the impression that Israel is somehow under some sort of siege?
17. To #9. Clever post :-)
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.26.07)
18. These Same Architects Will Be Building Their Own Wall Soon
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (05.26.07)

19. Intelligent and truthful post #5
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.26.07)
20. Endlandstan
Sidney ,   USA   (05.26.07)
Sean Connery has written an op-ed piece in today's Washington Post about how the Scottish independence movement now controls the government of Scotland and independence is on the way. If Scotland goes, will Wales be far behind? After that Great Britain will be just England. With its burgeoning Islamic population, England may become the first Islamic state in western Europe. It will be interesting to see how all these Israel bashers in England, everybody from the academics to Amnesty International, like living under sharia law.
21. From what I see,
simple simon   (05.26.07)
the Brits are really, simply going to the dogs, and in this case, to the pigs, really. Their future king (Charles) is already suspected to be a muslim secret convert, what more can we expect?
22. Khalid, calumny
Doc Holliday   (05.26.07)
Who said anything about anti-semites? Nothing in the article says that. Oh, thats right your brainwashed or braindead. I guess it doesn't really matter with you, it is easy to fall back on that simpleton argument that people who speak against Israel are called antisemetic by Jews to discredit them. While that can happen in heated talk on a scholarly level it rarely does. Maybe you could point out where this has occurred? Maybe your just full of crap and can't, I don't know? OK, Khalid back up your charge!!!
23. APJP planners for justice or
ilana   (05.26.07)
PAID contractors for the terrorists to design and build a "palestine" where there was and is Israel? I bet they got real excited when Sderot population deserted its town. They haveplans as big as their ego for the "pals" there. *spit*
24. The British Jews are useless. They have no say in the US!
David ,   USA   (05.26.07)
The British anti-Semites are constantly screaming at Israel.
25. Britain is now Britastan. The hatred toward the Jews
Fred ,   USA   (05.26.07)
continues.
26. Anerica! We must boycott that ugly anti-Semitic island
Frank ,   USA   (05.26.07)
they call UK!
27. British architecture is as appealing as their architects
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens, NY, USA   (05.26.07)
Have you taken a look at the last 20 years of British architecture? A lot more than than their political opinions about Jews are in trouble.
28. Ignorance is bliss
Mimi ,   Israel   (05.26.07)
The ignorance of these people who need a "Cause " to make them feel better .Israel is all they need to see to be against. But cheer up the Haidressers and Dogwalkers Associations didn't sign a petition against us Yet.'
29. thank god we have us besides us
asher ,   israel   (05.26.07)
30. Next the UK will boycott Israeli women
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.26.07)
Because they give birth to babies which furthers "the occupation and subjugation of the innocent Palestinian people." It's almost cute watching the Brits boycott every organization and type of intellectual, whether it be doctors, researchers, or architects, and trying to come up with a separate excuse for each. I think Israelis should take the example of that Israeli nobel prize winning physicist who boycotted the UK by refusing to speak at an English university in response to the journalist boycott. More Israelis and Jews worldwide should boycott the UK.
