1. Woody Allen is next?
E.S. ,   Montreal Canada   (11.23.07)
Jerry Seinfeld, very sionist... Devote to Israel... Love Israel Actually... Can't live without ISrael... BS! Another star coming to Israel for the first time, just to promote his stupid movie. Hey Seinfeld, where were you during last year fight in Lebanon? NY or LA?
2. This putz converted to Scientology
Al   (11.23.07)
He is the right man to meet peres. All about nothing. He should have brought with him George and Kramer. They would have made the perfect group promoting his famous "Being a master of your own destiny", only peres would have lost in a sec. Peres has been masterbating with Isrealis lives forever.
3. Seindfeld is the best
Amram L. ,   Israel   (11.23.07)
4. #1 IF you actually read the article....
Adam ,   Ramat Gan   (11.23.07)
....he volunteered at a kibbutz many years previously! His next journey is better late than never!
5. Jerry Seinfeld is not a Scientologist at all
David   (11.23.07)
COuld not be further than the truth, he is very culturally jewish, not religious per se. but he married a jew since he is of jeiwsh syrian descant. in fact seinfeld smashed scientology in its show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN0RWIR_91g
6. #1 And where were you? In Montreal?
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.23.07)
#1 And where were you? In Montreal. Have you volonteered in a kibbutz?
7. All I Can say is Hollywood Jews could do More for Israel
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (11.23.07)
these Hollywood folks have the ability to do more good for Israel but lack the ambition, drive and courage to do so. Its a real shame that Hollywood has remained silent during this massive surge in hate for our people.
8. Peres always takes his photo ops with celebrities...
Nannette ,   London   (11.23.07)
The man is just a nonce who doesn't like the fact that Israel's Jewish, and his best friends are Arabs. He really should have been elected to a senior position in the PA.
9. Hey E.S.
David ,   Haifa   (11.23.07)
Where were you during last year's war? In Montreal perhaps?
10. When I see Mel Brooks, I'll pay attention.
Steve ,   UK   (11.23.07)
11. No. 7 David P.
NYC Girl   (11.23.07)
I couldn't agree more. It's a shame that these people, who have a good deal of influence on the popular culture, have chosen to remain on the sidelines when they could have made a significant contribution.
12. One of the few American Jewish actors who married a Jew.
Zionist ,   Somewhere   (11.24.07)
This especially admirable because 90% of Jews in the entertainment industry, mostly men, marry shiksas. Jerry should have visited earlier but at least he went to Israel. That said Hollywood Jews have done a horrible job in helping the Jewish community and Israel.
13. #7 David P. Hollywood was silent during the Holocaust...
Nannette ,   London   (11.24.07)
14. What's the story with all these talkbacks....
NS ,   Long Island, NY   (11.24.07)
Did you people on these talkbacks wake up on the angry side of Judaism this morning? Jerry Seinfeld is a proud son of the Jewish people, married to a fine daughter of the Jewish people and together have added three more Jews to the population. As with many Jewish entertainers it is not what they say but what they do that counts most. Check their charitable contributions to Jewish/Israel causes. That is what counts the most. As far as all you complainers are concerned; yadda yadda yadda...
15. Peres & Gov will always flatter the Spolied American Jews
but will never give ,   a damn to ISRAELIS   (11.24.07)
16. Hey #14 LOL! Good points.
Donna s ,   Netanya, Israel   (11.24.07)
Only fly in the ointment.....the wife (Jessica Sklar) deserted her first husband after the the honeymoon to "be" with Jerry.
17. My take
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (11.24.07)
At least Seinfeld is funny. The other clowns, Olmert and Peres are not.
18. to 14
nana ,   jerusalem   (11.25.07)
it is jelousy. not more than jelousy .... it is more between friends and brothers
19. After The Marx Bros. it's been all down hill
Johnson Crapture ,   Seaside, US   (11.25.07)
except for Jackie Mason !
20. Jerry Seinfeld and Israel
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZI ! ,   teeveeland   (11.26.07)
This is just a wild guess, but I think that Jerry's visit to Israel as a volunteer on Kibbutz was probably not exactly "summer camp". In 1970 the kibbutz life was VERY different from New York and the Catskills. Most Israelis only knew a smidgen of English. And depending on the kibbutz, the experience was probably as far away from "Jewish" as one could be. I am not suprised that he never returned until now. He was too young for that first experience at the least. I have an inkling that he was exposed to the general snobbery of the typical Israeli sabra. What a way to get back at anyone who might have snubbed him way back in 1970-!. Hanging out with the prime minister and president. Don't belittle the present president. AT LEAST KATZIR WASN'T AROUND TO : - -TAKE "IT" OUT !!!!!! LOL LOL
21. Kol hakavod, # 14!
