31. Pro-Palestinian ???
(11.29.07)
I would have wanted any "pro-me" organization to tell the truth.

syrian arab from Sweden...hmmm.
33. Hear Hear - Bottled water should be banned
rh ,   Modiin Israel   (11.29.07)
Bottled water is a affront on the environment. Plastic Bottles, Oil for shipping them, Litter - all for a product you get from your taps.
34. #29, Yes!

35. israeli water
donald ,   aberdeen scotland   (11.29.07)
So we are told that the Israelis are stealing Syrian water!! I suppose that means they are also stealing fruit from the Jordan valley. When Israel was attacked it went on the offensive and ended up with a lot more land than it started with. Peace negotiations with Egypt led to all of Sinai being vacated and given back to Egypt. Why do the Syrians also not enter into peace discussions, then we may see a variation in Israels response. If the final aim is to give back all land after a war, then we shall have to re-draw the map of all of Europe and Asia, because all of the world is living in a land which once had a different name and belonged to some other country. If we are to embark upon border manipulations, let us start at home instead of forcing it on other countries Donald
36. Ancient Claims?..............
Bill Dewar ,   Edinburgh, Scotland   (11.29.07)
If you're going to start using ancient land rights to justify the illegal occupation, why not extend that to most of Central Europe.....after all it was once all controlled by the Romans........can we have them back then?
37. Anti Semitism
Suzette Ross ,   Edinburgh, Scotland   (11.29.07)
Can you just explain the difference between Anti Semitism and Anti Zionism.? It seems to me that the term Anti-Semitic would apply to Jewish people anywhere, not just those illegally occupying Palestine???
38. it's called free market, free world, idiot
renaud sarda ,   glasgow, scotland   (11.29.07)

Thanks for your positive post. The Scots have made some remarkable contributions to western civilization, viz; scotch, the whisky not the tape, Robert Burns, JM Barrie, RL Stevenson, Sean Connery, the immortal verse of McGonnegal (spelling) but the Koh-i-noor in the diadem is the word 'numpty' that has a ring to it like no other I know.
40. Eden Springs
S Grossman ,   Glasgow, Scotland   (11.29.07)
The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign is a racist and extreme left group which previously attacked, and failed, Eden Springs in the Scottish Parliament. At various times they have challenged JNF, JNF-KKL, Marks & Spencer and other outlets stocking Israeli-made produce and the Israeli cricket and football teams. Their Fuhrer, at one of their own meetings, called for the physical boycott of stores and was shouted down by his own supporters as behaving like the Brownshirts. Mainstream Scotland ignores or is unaware of them, save when a local newspaper is conned into commenting. www.scottishfriendsofisrael.org
41. Eden Springs misinformation
Joy Wolfe ,   Cheadle Cheshire UK   (11.30.07)
Typical Palestine Solidarity Campaign tactics. Put out a story full of misinformation and gain the sympathy of people open to damning Israel. The fact that the consequences could be 200 people in Scotland losing their jobs will not worry them one iota. You can expect anti Israel behaviour and violence to be on the increase in the coming weeks, as it always doen the minute it looks as if people are willing to give peace a chance
42. Pro-Palestinian groups threaten Israeli water company's acti
Yasmin Khan ,   Glasgow   (11.30.07)
We are pro-truth and democracy and as such are NOT against the only Democratic country in the middle east. There should not be any boycott of Israel in any form, on the contrary, Scotland and the whole of the west should be supporting Israel in it's attempts to bring prosperity to the whole region which is unfortunately rebuffed by ALL the Arab countries. Scotland must not be hijacked by biggots! All rational people must stop these hysterical outbursts by supporters of repressive regimes.
43. #29 Don't fool yourself , we know what anti-semitism is .
rachel ,   usa   (12.02.07)
after all these centuries , you think we can't smell it ?
44. unwarranted hysteria?
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens NYC   (12.03.07)
When Scots take the time to write in here to reassure Jews that Scots are against these fringe groups, I think we should listen to them. Blanket accusation of anti-Semitism against Scotland and its inhabitants seem to be unwarranted. We should work with the people who stand up against bigotry, not try to lump them into an overall object of curses and abuse.
45. #38
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (12.03.07)
Absolutely. Everybody has the right to buy what they wish for whatever reason. Here in Israel some people boycott Eden water for the same reason, and some people buy it because they believe the area is part of the Greater Land of Israel.
46. pro pali groups are destroying the UK
jack bauer   (12.07.07)
they bomb the subways they try and blow up aircraft they march around calling for beheadings they teach extremism they collect massive amounts of welfare they live in coucil flats they dont pay taxes they drag down the education and NHS and now they demand something else? deport the lot back to their countries of origin
47. Bitterness and hate
LCOS ,   Edinburgh   (12.09.07)
It seems to me that the campain against Eden is fuelled by bitterness and hate, this is not racial but aimed at Eden by certain individuals for financial gain. I have a message for those certain individual's Eden is bigger than you all and more of a company that you will ever be. Short term thinking leads to short term results. Enjoy your gloating as it wont last long Eden will rise above you all
48. #29
Moses ,   Israel   (12.12.07)
I don't think the palestinians are going to have a better life if they keep shooting at us. >.<"
