31. Let me revise what I said
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.26.07)
More Israelis and Jews shouldn't boycott the entire UK, but UK academia.
32. Boycott
Joe ,   Israel   (05.26.07)
Isn't it interesting how the Brits are so quick to condem Israel. What about the Palestinian rockets that are raining down on innocent Israeli civilians, their homes, schools, hospitals, etc. How come no condemnation there?
33. Re: #14
Greg ,   LA, USA   (05.26.07)
Hold on, hold on... I am still laughing... Ohhhh boy. That was hilarious, you A FRENCHY are speaking about islamisation? Ha ha ha:))) How's Eifel Tower? Still French flag on the top, or already some Arabic one?
34. No, Korem, you were right the first time
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (05.26.07)
It isn't just academia. It reflects what is deep in the British psyche! The only decent British person is Tony Blair! The rest of the them can go to hell!! Boycott England!!
35. Hey,Greg! 33
gil ,   france   (05.26.07)
Have a look on what is going on in your universities and the money you spend protecting mosquees."The camel does not see its hump"
36. The English behave much better than many Arab countries
(05.26.07)
Israel has no choice of staying in the middle east , only if they change their minds and clean their brains and to be convienced that they are not alone in this world and they are not better than anyone else and useing power will increase the hate to Israel and automaticly to the Jews around theworld , you call it anti-simitism or whatever this will not change the facts , Israel will be isolated in 20 years from now and will be serounded with neuclear weapons from all the Arab countries and they will be in danger like never before .... so ... now or never .
37. Don't blame the English..
Tinker Tailor ,   Israel   (05.26.07)
The real culprit is the abject failure of Israeli hasbara. It is yet another front in the war which Israel is needlessly losing. This situation needs to change.
38. This just in - British are boycotting Lebanon
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (05.26.07)
For their mistreatment of Palestinians - NOT!!!!
39. Open Letter to A.H The man who runs this outfit
Charles ,   London   (05.26.07)
Hullo A.H. I DO respect your bringing to light the injustices and brutality of the occupation. We all want it to end. But you are so full of angst, hatred that it is warping and clouding your judgement. Your bitterness against Israel means that you embrace everything about Palestinians however many atrocities they commit in order to hurt Israel. As you well know there is right on both sides and there is wrong on both sides. I wish and hope that you can use your undoubted energies, skills and commitment to open dialogues, bring the parties together rather than simply take sides because all thinking Palestinians and Israelis are weary and want nothing more than to live in peace. Your friend Charles
40. Shanghai, Calcutta etc.
Herrit   (05.27.07)
Shanghai, Calcutta, New Dehli, Haifa, and now Bazra are just the tip of the iceberg of the glorious Bitish imperialistic architechture. These guys (the Britic\sh architects signing the petition) want only one thing: to live their comfortable lives on the expenses of the others, so don't bother considering their moral standing.
41. Britainstanis: Antisemites
semsem ,   New York, USA   (05.26.07)
I grew up in Britainstan and I can assure you that the majority of Britishtanis are antisemites.
42. BOYCOTT ISRAEL/SEE HOW
Doc Holliday   (05.26.07)
IF YOUR GOING TO BOYCOTT ISRAEL HERE IS THE LIST OF ITEMS. http://www.yearinbrazil.com/misc/boycott.txt OF COURSE YOU WON'T HAVE A GOOD LIFE ONCE YOU SEE THE LIST. I WILL NOT BE JOINING YOU.
43. Who Asked These Clowns??
James Starling ,   Heresford, UK   (05.26.07)
never heard of these monkeys before
44. Our own architect of hate in Guardian
Ilya Davydov ,   Beer Sheva Israel   (05.27.07)
Type of behavior Guardian expect from Israel architects. http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/comment/0,10551,762659,00.html
45. The English have always have a fascination with the Arabs
Tracy W   (05.27.07)
And not very healthy one. There's an article on the JP about journalist turned novelist, British-born and Oxford educated Matt Beynon Rees, where it says: "Though Rees's criticisms are harsh, he can hardly contain his love of Palestinian society. Blue-eyed and fair skinned, he speaks unabashedly of feeling "incredibly alive" when he first stepped foot in the West Bank, "like a 19th-century Victorian who came to the source of the Nile." Even though the British have first-hand knowledge of what Arab culture is all about, they find it attractive enough to support it, and not mind at all that it's taking over their once proud island. Something for psychoanalysts to ponder about....
46. Several dozen architects??
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (05.27.07)
With over 1500 registered architects in the UK AIA, what is more interesting is why Ynet is so concerned over a couple of dozen??
47. Grateful to arabs
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (05.27.07)
The "several dozen" are VERY grateful to the arabs. If they didn't have Arabs blowing up so much and killing so many, who would they be designing buildings for??
48. #2 You're just mad because the wall stops terrorist attacks
RA   (05.27.07)
Be honest Khalid, the thing that really upsets you about the wall is its effectiveness. You can't stand the thought that Israel has yet again prevailed and come up with a way of preventing savage palis from murdering innocent civilians.
49. STUPID BRITISH, THEY CAUSED THE PROBLEM
AN MARIA ,   LATIN AMERICA   (05.27.07)
THE STUPID BRITISH AND THEIR STUPID KINGS, QUEENS AND POLITITIANS CAUSED THE PROBLEM IN THE MIDLLE EAST AND NOW THEY BLAME ISRAEL FOR SOMETHING THEY CAUSED.
50. Israeli Association of United Architects (IAUA)
ben ,   singapore   (05.27.07)
Take your side, either joins the Jews or join the British Anti- Semites. YOUR Lobbying DONT WORK ANYMORE ! NO MORE CRUSADE ! Not even in this latest lobby ! Get OUT Of ISRAEL ! Take your ACTIVIST LOOBY TO AFRICA, DAFUR , EUROPE and the USA, BURMA and CHINA .
51. What next, the British Gay Union Boycott?
Charles ,   NJ USA   (05.27.07)
Al avay.
52. Gaurdian Blog Anti Israel
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (05.27.07)
Start defending Israel this blog is blanting anti Israel in the Gaudian make your opinions known http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/yvonne_roberts/2007/05/throw_a_pebble_at_goliath_dont.html
53. and dont forget plumbers, electricians, plasterers, painters
grrloz ,   Sydney, Australia   (05.27.07)
And dont stop there, howz about enlisting the plumbers association & the handymans org.....you also forgot electricians, tilers, carpenters, landscapers....and that's just to name a few. I'm guessing they're also staunch humanitarians alongside with the British Architects Assoc. Anyhoo, while your boycotting can you please petition against fence makers, ground levellers and turf layers. Oh...and don't forget the concrete association coz they probably laid some roads. I think I may be forgetting some other orgs... hmmm have to get back to you on that one...
54. Al-Britain is the father of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal-Islam.
AL-Genologist ,   NY,USA   (05.27.07)
55. I read the petition
Jecheskel ,   Munich, Germany   (05.27.07)
I read the petition and found out that many israeli architects signed the petition as well! The don't seem to understand that they legitimate this people who want to destroy Israel.
56. britain the enemy of the jeish people.
(05.27.07)
57. sense!
Palman   (05.27.07)
the world seems to have some sense left in it but zionists are adamant it should be irradicated!
58. British Liberals
ambrosine shitrit ,   london   (05.27.07)
Who gives a stuff ...Israel will always be around...so stick that in your left wing, guardian readin, cous cous eating, anti war bridgade pipe and smoke it :)
59. The UK Is Surrendering To Their Islamic Masses
Not Jewish ,   USA   (05.27.07)
The Europeans are being intimidated by their Islamic masses that are occupying their nations. Various UK organizations are trying hard to appease the Islamics in their nation by condemning the Jewish state. This UK condemnation of Israel is the act of cowards. The Brit architect assault on Israel is just another appeasement to the Islamics in the UK. It will end with the Brits surrendering to their Islamic masters.
60. #59 Intimidation
Michelle ,   Vancouver, Canada   (05.27.07)
Intimidation is also at work in the US. The latest example is how Disney has decided not to sue. If any American mass produced a look-alike Mikey with a new name, the Disney lawyers would be all over him with an expensive and well publicized lawsuit. But if it is Hamas who appropriates Mickey, then it's all right. A little grumbling and that's all. Americans should boycott Disney until they have the guts to defend and rescue our Mouse.
