31. #18 ofcourse they have to be paid we are talking about jews
ayman ,   jersey   (01.08.08)
32. # 4 No friend of Israel would promote the SAUDI PEACE PLAN
Petra ,   usa   (01.08.08)
Bush has a lot of explaining to do in defense of propping up the Saudis. In my book, he should be tried for treason. oil vs. Israel? Bush is no friend to the State of Israel, he's a friend of Saudi oil $$ at the expense of Israel. He's a liar, a coward and a first class asshole like his grandpappy Preston Bush. What a treacherous idiot! He's bringing down our nation for the love of the Saudis who finance terror.
33. # 8 Three puppets or, three blind mice.
Petra ,   usa   (01.08.08)
No matter how they try and cover up what people think of them, we all know what jerks these' illustrious' leaders are. More interested in what they think than what the populace thinks.. We'll all dance in the streets when they're gone. Sorry chapter in history.
34. # 25 Steve BINGO BUDDY!!!!
Petra ,   usa   (01.08.08)
Bush is leading America and her allies into his Saudi camp for slaughter. He should be tried for high treason. Aiding and abetting the enemy. He's a desgrace to all of humanity, everywhere. Glad when the prick is gone and retired to texas.( they'll tolerate almost anything!)
35. # 30 Jud AMEN!
Petra ,   usa   (01.08.08)
Why not arrest Olmert and Bush? Traitors of freedom.
36. freedom of speech!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.08.08)
there is NO incitement or hatred in depicting a political opinion. this one just happens to be effective, and uncomfortable for some left-leaning israelis, especially in the government. but why should the government be able to use the police to silence its political opponents? this is a far more serious crime than the allegations of corruption that have washed over this government.
37. Yawn! more boring TBs from the rebellious right
y'all need jobs & ,   therapy   (01.08.08)
38. incendiary headline
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.08.08)
these posters did not catch fire, and the kids who put them up were charged with vandalism, not arson alas, the most "incendiary" part of this story was the headline.
39. #19 rabin
Barbara Streisand ,   Memory, Lane   (01.08.08)
Funny you should remind us of the "incitement" against Rabin. You must mean the pictures of Rabin in an SS uniform distributed by Shabak agent Avishai Raviv. Are you implying that the Shabak is inciting against Bush?
40. Bush
Josh   (01.08.08)
After Bush takes control of their oil, the industrialist envade their country, and the banks create debt over the people, he might start wearing one. They should have gone with a red checkered one for Bushes head. Red among innocent white. Didn't his father help train Al Quada? Did not the FBI get caught giving money to Terrorsist for sucide bombing, This makes one an accomplice, No? Didn't our leaders put guns in the hands of the Palestinians? Does this make one an accomplice? I think the "Necessity Defense" should get these men off of the charges.
41. Stupid, and will not play well in the US
Jack ,   USA   (01.08.08)
I am the first guy to stand up for Israel and the Settlers, The fist one who supports Benjamin Netanyu and call for Barak and Livini and olmert to be removed. But this is so stupid and foolish, you will loose support in the US from your friends, Is there no Yiddisha Cup and common sense. This same nonsense was done to others and it must stop now. Bush is a great fiend of Israell and I know things are being said for the Arabs and left to hear but I am still confident in the end he will stand with Israel. I want this stopped now.
42. # 31 Arabs Do It for the 72 Virgins
(01.08.08)
43. #41 You sir are a moron, look at Gush Katif/ Har Homa
(01.08.08)
THEY/YOU ARE NOT OUR FRIEND. Only our enemy.
44. I have a split reaction to this...
Che Vive ,   Ghetto Beach, U.S.A.   (01.08.08)
For one, the poster's kind of funny and there's no reason they shouldn't be allowed to put it up. On the other hand, it's indicative of a total detachment from reality. The Israeli right wing is completely insane. George W. Bush's entire presidency has been essentially pro-settler. He's given Israel everything it's asked for, from destroying Iraq to running interference on peace negotiations during the Lebanon war and endorsing the dropping of 3 million cluster bombs on Lebanon. He's been indifferent to the turning of Gaza into a concentration camp and assisted in the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia to overthrow the Islamic courts there despite the fact that they were actually stabilizing the country. He's provided military assistance to the Phillipines to attack it's Muslim insurgency, and there's probably more that he's done to attack Muslims worldwide that I'm forgetting. Not to mention the fact that his administration has domestically relied on Muslim-baiting for political support ever since 9-11, though he occasionally pays lip service to "respect for moderate Islam". I find it inconcievable that right-wing Israelis can possibly disapprove of this violent maniac and consider him a traitor to their cause. Is it because he's meekly requesting evacuation of illegal settlements? Does anyone really expect anything to come of that? You've just enjoyed the support of the most right-wing president in American history and you're complaining? What kind of psychopathic behavior is required from an American president to meet with your approval?
45. #19 Dangerous incitement? Hatred? Come on!
BJL ,   USA   (01.08.08)
These posters are a political parody. There is no hate language or incitement to physical harm... Giving land to terrorists creates more terror. Havent you learned anything from the Gaza gift to the PA? Unilateral pullout of Lebanon? You are now surrounded by enemies that are arming to the teeth. Now you want to give away the high ground in Judea (Jew-de-ah) and Samaria and make the land 10 miles wide? Give away half of J'lem? That is suicidal behavior. You can not project your values upon your enemy. They already send rockets everyday dont you care? Or will you only care when the hit TA....Fool.
46. Itmar Ben Gavir - A Suspected Agent Provocateur
Josh Ebert ,   USA   (01.08.08)
Chamish had often mentioned this guy as a Shabak agent aimed at besmirching the right. To me this is obvious, no one on the right would put a kefia on Bush as much as they don’t like him. Ben Givir is using the same tactics his buddy Raviv used, putting Rabin in a kefia. This man should be thrown out of the right wing circles! I would like to know why the Shabak does not open a radical left wing bureau and plant agents along the radical left like they do against the right, who in fact are more dangerous than the right extremists? But I am not going to waste my time wondering too much. The Shabak and the Left wing establishment is responisible for any reckless activities from this agent. Who knows what Itmar might try next, giving a gun with blanks to some troubled kid and provoke him to shoot the Prime Minister! Sound familiar? The left establishment is playing with fire. This is no way for a democracy to function. This is the way communist Russia did business.
47. To 43 from 41 I suggest you rephase that statement
Jack ,   USA   (01.08.08)
You are talking to a Zionist in every sense, a person who marched with Kahane Chai when the holocaust Memorial was opened to stand up to the Skin heads, a person who has used his hands to defend Jews in the US and a person who volunteered in Sar El in 2001 after 9-11. Don't be stupid and don't say things to people you know nothing about. Bush is and has been Israels friend, The US Congress or at least the Republicans and some Dems have been Israels friends, Gullini and Gingrich are and if elected will be Israel's friends, Bush and Rice just have some problems and one is the State Dept. its full of left dems, so do not piss off the Americans who give israel over $4 Billion each year and the American Jews including myself who go to fundraisers and buy bonds, The Republican Jewish Coalation is getting bigger daily and this year more Jews with sense will vote Republican so do not say stupid things about Bush, I want Netanyahu and Arens to gain control of Israel but for that to happen then the Israeli people must wake up and smell the coffee. From a Stand Up Jews! From the old school.
48. Freedom Of Speech
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (01.10.08)
Extreme? A Poster more like it's denial of freedom of speech and assembly. Remember if you deny freedom of speech and assembly the next step is violence. Freedom is a precious thing and if it is denied a country becomes no more than a Banana republic dictatorship.
