1. She is a Leftist: Hates Bush.
Fortunee ,   Monte Carlo, Monaco   (04.22.08)
She is a leftist and she hates Bush. Is Bush going? If so that's the reason. Also she must hate Shas Party who call Gays "beasts." Her son is gay.
2. SHE MARRIED A GOY, SHE IS A HERETIC, BAN HER FROM ISRAEL

debra ,   usa   (04.22.08)
a blast. you'll have a lot of fun with him there.
4. Streisand is a progressive
Ran   (04.22.08)
Streisand is a progressive who supports progressive ideas not zionism. I'm sureshe will happily celebrate when the Palestinians defeat Israel and end the occupation.
5. Oy vey is mir - what would Yentl say?
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.22.08)
Barbara Streisand last stood up before an audience and atlked of Israael when Gold Meir was Prime Minister and she sang Hatikva after a telephone conversation wiht thePM. Apparently it doesn't suit her any more.
6. Who cares what she does.
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (04.22.08)
Let her stay home, we don't need or want her here.
7. Whatever you say, iRan, #4
Jake   (04.22.08)
8. Barbara Streisand?????
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa USA   (04.22.08)
She is enough to make me want to barf.
9. Get the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry or anyone with
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.22.08)
talent instead. I hope that peres is paying for all the invites from his own pocket.
10. Barbra - your voice never sounded sweeter
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (04.22.08)
Thanks for standing up for what you believe in: Justice and Decency, two qualities missing in Israel
11. They should invite Neil Diamond - he's the most bad ass Jew
Benny Ayoush ,   Jerusalem   (04.22.08)
..ish singer ever.
12. #10, Lol, no one can say you don't have a sense of humor
Jake   (04.22.08)
Good one!
13. Chana-louse weighs in on Barbra's schedule....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (04.22.08)
What an idiot!
14. Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea,...?
Gideon Reader   (04.22.08)
Headline: Fat and terminally ugly(physically and personally)usta be big mouth, leftist, know it all, skips chance to redeem herself. Nobody much pays attention. Franco not breathing, Olmert corrupt, etc., etc.
15. Re #11 Benny
Matthew   (04.22.08)
I agree. Actually, they should event Neil Diamond to come and be prime minister. He would probably bring along some of his hunting buddies and NRA pals and get rid of the terrorists for good. The IDF could take a break and let him and his crew handle business.
16. Mystified over this one
Leon ,   USA   (04.23.08)
Mystified over this one. Why is this news? Why does anyone care? Now, Hermans Hermits: THERES A GROUP which deserves MENTION!
17. I am relieved she will not perform
uri   (04.23.08)
18. chanalulu, you are loo-loo
ronit ,   haifa   (04.22.08)
19. What an a--
Jerry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.23.08)
If her hate for President Bush is this intense we do need or want her (or any of her disks or tapes in my collection). There is a level of insanity in the far left in America which blinds them to reality and gives the an exaggerated sense of importance. Good riddance
20. She is trash!
Frank ,   USA   (04.23.08)
21. #10 Chanaloser - your voice is always bitter
Lina ,   USA   (04.23.08)
And without decency, you post your usual anti-Israel trash. I have to agree with the other posters. Bring performers who stand with Israel instead of cancel and backdown.
22. She decided to sing "Ave-Maria" at the Vatican instead!
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (04.23.08)
23. This is not really unusual for her-
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (04.23.08)
On other occasions it was for reasons of security. She has been threatened by terrorists a number of times in the past, receiving both death and kidnapping threats. On a few occasions, she showed up last minute after declining. She also really hates Bush with a passion (don't we all?). She even goes off on him on her own website. She may be refusing to participate in anything where he is involved, is a guest, or attendee. She has done this in the past, as well. If her reason was due to Israeli politics, she would have never agreed to perform to begin with. She has always been connected and strong in her Jewishness, regardless of politics.
24. Who the F cares..really..
Al   (04.23.08)
25. GOOD ! SHE IS A HAS BEEN
(04.23.08)
26. A word about Barbara Streisand
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (04.23.08)
Barbara Streisand was blessed with a marvelous voice. From those same lips, however, have issued the most vile language... the ugliest, coarsest and filthiest words directed at the president of her country. Besides her voice what credentials does she have that make what she thinks or says a matter for our attention? I'm not sure she even made it through high school - and probably snorts with the traitorous Sean Penn. But Babs is Perez's friend and that says it all. I wish she would convert.
27. What a tradgedy - NOT.
silent majority ,   Israel   (04.23.08)
28. Chanalulu - another yoredet looking for justification eh?
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.23.08)
29. Ugly inside out
Rita Ben   (04.23.08)
She is an ugly person with crooked mind. who needs her?
30. No show Babs
SPOTTERRON ,   Lockport NY USA   (04.23.08)
Of course she canceled. Why would she embarrass herself by pretending she can actually sing.......
