She's an idiot....just like Barenboim

It's amazing how the turncoats selfloathing idiots of the left think they hold the truth. Watch this moron telling us we hate Bush with a passion. You should be crying tonite that Osama/Obama was defeated in PA. Go and join in the selfhating jews that don't have a clue. By the way, who gives a f...t what this ugly leftie would do? Certainly Olmert and his scared crew, let the barbarians keep shelling your bordertowns and try to talk to them.. Stay home Barb, and please give your good profile to the pictures, no your ugly one!!!

Guys no need to get frustated with the disgusting attitude of this turncoat. Just throw away her records, I don't have any, never like this ugly face, don't watch her movies and pass the word around you. This is the way you can hit this coward leftie!

Invite one of them to sing.

A moron? First, I am not anywhere near a leftist, But in case you had not noticed, our poor excuse for a president has ruined our nation. He has ruined the economy, our prestige in the world, and eroded our power. He lied- and repeatedly to the American public. And because of his lies, we have soldiers dying and getting maimed for oil and Haliburton- who did not even supply our troops with clean water supplies. Many of us-your fellow Americans, also find his statement regarding the US Constitution: " The Constitution is nothing but a G-D damned piece of paper!" to be totally and completely appalling. But then again, what can one expect from someone who's father, the senator, got him a cushy, free pass out of serving in Viet Nam. A President swears to uphold, respect, and defend the constitution, not degrade and demean it. A lot of good people died for that "G-D damned piece of paper." Bush is nothing more than a modern day oil baron buccaneer. And if you think that he is not selling out Israel via Rice and the RoadMap to Hell for his business associates and father's personal friends- the Saudis- think again. If this is Streisand's reason for her no-show, I can't say that I blame her.

The expression "who cares" expresses apathy which is close to death. I am always saddened when I hear somebody say, "who cares" and I feel sorry for them. Hate something, or much better, love something, but when you say "who cares", please think about what you're saying about yourself. Mike

there are thousends who would be honnored to be part of this great event.she must stay with her shegetz goy,this is important

Some of these talkbacks are simply illogical. She originally agreed to appear, now she's cancelling due to "personal obligations". Based on this information, it is illogical to assume that she has anything against Israel or for Palestinians. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. There's no indication of that in this article.

I saw her in 'funny girl' a million years ago, butt I must say, she ain't got no guts. Michael

Wow, what venom! Where do you guys get your reservoirs of hatred? Barbara is an amazing talent, few can come near to her! I don't care about her politics and don't care if she comes or not, she has already shown she cares for Israel! Generations of people will continue to enjoy her music. Gee whiz, lighten up, she isn't running for president! She is a talented Jewish girl from Brooklyn. Be proud!

not "funny girl!"

"I saw her in 'funny girl' a million years ago, butt I must say, she ain't got no guts". Does the above mean that she has guts or hasn't? She hasn't got guts 'no guts' means that she has guts. Regardless of what I think of her personally, she was one of the first women to direct and produce films in Hollywood and that took guts and determination! Mike

1) How can she have "personal obligations" that conflict with a different "personal obligation"? 2) Who cares? I've heard here version of Avinu Malkenu. It's nothing to write home about. You can check it out at YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0No43lgSxTU) 3) Whose idea was it to describe Afula as a "picturesque northern city"? Obviously, somebody who has never been there.

She might have launched into "Silent night" one of her concert favourites. Actually I've never understood her popularity - to me her voice is mannered and unpleasant.

Hey, she is a left wing, radical nut, you really don't need to put up with her antics.

There are so many people out there that cannot acknowledge her talent. As for her politics, I am not familiar with her opinions. She has a great singing voice and I've enjoyed seeing / hearing her in all her films. So she won't come to sing "whatever" so what ?

ISRAEL WILL CONTINUE TO THRIVE AND SHE'LL BE FORGOTTEN BEFORE THE NEXT CELEBRATION.
