61. traitor ,collaborator and mad
avrom ,   bet shemesh   (03.16.08)
he is suffering from Stockholm syndrome .because he lies so much G-d has taken away his ability to see the truth..If you speak the truth you see the truth
62. why ynet do propaganda for him ?
cordier   (03.16.08)
63. A historian that denies the facts! Stay in England traitor!
Freejay ,   Israel   (03.16.08)
SO i guess we are all imagining the Palastinian Charter that clearly calls for our destruction. Also, he doesnt mention that there were more jews kicked out of Arab countries than Arabs that left Israel. Another important fact he doesnt mention is that the Arabs in Israel enjoy more rights and freedom of speech than any arabs in all the other Arab countries! Case closed!
64. Pappe Traitor
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (03.16.08)
Hopefully Olmert and Co will join him . Sooner rather than later.
65. Hes not a traitor, he just wants to destroy israel
Daniel ,   US   (03.16.08)
that man is a traitor, and should be dealt with like a traitor should. its funny how he supports the right of return, yet he is living in england.
66. yes, Ilan, you are a traitor
Charles   (03.16.08)
but you must not be harmed physically
67. this proff
moti ,   rbs   (03.16.08)
should be ashamed to call himself israeli- he should be embarrased to walk our streets- hopefully he will stay in the UK... he loves hamas so much - lets see how long he lasts walking down a street in jenin or gaza- - my guess is under a minute-
68. Pappe
Spencer ,   Israel   (03.16.08)
There is only one word to describe this piece of garbage...TRAITOR. He chose to leave Israel. Good ridance. He should have been thrown out sooner.
69. You couldn't print what I think of him.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.16.08)
70. love yourself first because no-one love a jew.
tony ,   uk   (03.16.08)
God help Israel with people like you in it the best place for you is England, please convence your Arab friend to come along with you, the British government pays very well for social security.
71. Pappes lies
Robin ,   London England   (03.16.08)
Pappe's work has been discredited many times, but you only have to read what he says himself to realize he can't be trusted: "Who knows what facts are? We try to convince as many people as we can that our interpretation of the facts is the correct one, and we do it because of ideological reasons, not because we are truthseekers". (Le Soir,1999)
72. Srunning Admission
Thomas   (03.16.08)
"As the son of German Jews, I know how important it is for our elites to be a part of Europe." I hope he's speaking for himself. This is the same man who said that he didn't care about the truth, so long as it fowards his agenda. This man is a trained historian? Not surprised at how he has succeded in Britain though
73. This Guy is a piece of dreck
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (03.16.08)
This guy is dreck, any one who agrees with him should also leave. He advocates givng all of Israel to the arabs, he as bad as hamas, and abbas. Israel has enough trouble with the goyim, it does not need self hating, history denying jews like this guy.
74. Ilan Pappe
Dave ,   Toronto   (03.16.08)
Shame on you! Why do you dignify this traitor by interviewing him?
75. Ilan Pappe is a disgusting traitor; he is a disgrace!
Roni   (03.16.08)
76. A boycott that fails to account for....
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (03.16.08)
the ever present and continuing goal of muslims to remove Israel from what they precieve as formerly muslim owned land ...and that any hudna ( peace ) is temporary till that goal is achieved.
77. Pappe is a well known liar
Ken Jurist   (03.16.08)
Here are the facts which show this horrible radical what a liar he is. http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=8&x_nameinnews=122
78. Historian? Really?
Naftush ,   Israel   (03.16.08)
Not according to his on-line CV. Pappe's training is in poli-sci; his writings fit facts to narratives, not to events. Trained historians, including those on the Left, rip him smartly.
79. pappe
eddie cress ,   Cape Town, South Afr   (03.16.08)
No analogy with Apartheid Living in South Africa all my life, I have never seen the oppressed blow up supermarkets, busses or schools (or kill their own daughters)-furthermore once they got their freedom, they exhibited a generous spirit to their ex-oppressors -No residue hate exists now - This is diametrically opposed to the situation which unfolded in gaza. Anyhow, the present behavior of the gazians is consistent with the actions of those people in ancient times .Only one way to deal with the situation.
80. Pappe the traitor
Stefan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.16.08)
Yes, you are a traitor. And a coward as well. The soldiers you despise do not want to die, but they go anyway to make this place secure for living. You obviously are not ready to "risk" your life for the ideology or principles and you took off. I'm sure they made you a professor there. In you they got exactly what they were looking for. A Jew and an Israeli to do the dirty work for them. Just don't get confused. You are not a professor because of your academic credentials but because of your contribution to the cause.
81. Pappe is a proven fraud
Danny   (03.16.08)
Whether he is a "traitor" or not, he is someone who has systematically lied about the historical record for decades. He is a person who can be guaranteed to provide an academic veneer to any anti-Israeli prejudice. Thank god he left, now it is British students you can pay to be lied to and whose educational system can become [more of] a joke.
82. i agree with most brothers
haim ,   mtl canada   (03.16.08)
YES UR A TRAITOR
83. boycott Pappe
israeli ,   israel   (03.16.08)
He should be the first on the boycott list. He cannot call for an academic boycott of Israeli academia and then accept a job as a professor in the UK. That's additional proof that he is not a traitor, just a spineless piece of white trash.
84. IIan Pappe
Kansasgirl ,   USA   (03.16.08)
Yes he is a traitor, but being he is a professor, I'm not surprised!
85. What a traitor
David Rosenberg ,   New York   (03.16.08)
Anyone who uses their position and advocates the destruction of their homeland (ie bi national state) while befriending those who blow up your own people is called a traitor by any definition. In the USA, those accused of treason get the death penalty. Israel likes to copy everything American so why not copy this too?
86. I'm not a traitor
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem   (03.16.08)
With Israelis like him, who needs enemies?
87. He has given aid and comfort to the enemy
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.16.08)
Pappe has joined with the most vicious kind of anti- Semites in his condemnations of Israel. He has given aid and comfort to the enemy. What then is he ?
88. GARBAGE!
stephane ,   jerusalem   (03.16.08)
ynet why dont you talk of mahamed al dura staged assassination instead of making the propaganda of that creep? looking for cheap thrill? diggind in the mudd?
89. On England
Jorge Costa ,   Lisboa, Portugal   (03.16.08)
That a country like England receives in its Education System a man which calls himself an historian like this defender of Hamas and cumpulsive lier speaks very much about the state of hallucination in which that country happens to live. It would be laughable, if it was not, as it is, tragic, especially because England is not alone in its «normal» political and spiritual lunacy.
90. The Truth about Pappe is that
eli ,   haifa   (03.16.08)
the only reason he was hired by Haifa University is that he is a leftwing anti-ZIonist extermist, whose views appealed to Haifa U radicals and whose absence of scholarship did not bother them.
