1. this is what I call Apartheid!!!
israeli ,   israel   (08.07.08)
2. Goodbye Home Center
Josh B ,   Rehovot, Israel   (08.07.08)
Thanks for the information. I'm in Home Center at the Bilu Center at least once per week, or should I say I was there once per week. They won't get any of my business any more. I'm just a Jew who doesn't rate a discount.
3. Now, how about the Jewish sector boycot the chain
AK   (08.07.08)
wouldn't that be attractive. If it was me, I would not complete the purchase.
4. HOME CENTER LOST A CUSTOMER
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (08.07.08)
I just bought some things there 2 days ago at the sum of 500 shekels. As a customer I have a choice were to spend my money, from now on I will no longer purchase at Home Center which will costs them thousands a year from my account alone. Also I will forward this suggestion to boycot Home center to all my friends and relatives.
5. Palestinians in Israel deserve a lot more than a discount
Tarik ,   Boston, MA, USA   (08.07.08)
After ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their homes and systematically gutting their societies through instituitionalized discrimination, a discount on an electric drill doesn't seem such a big deal
6. Just one word...
(08.07.08)
BOYCOTT!!!! There over priced anyway.
7. i will never give home center my money ever again
JL ,   israel   (08.07.08)
8. we do no need your discount
ramallah ,   ramallah   (08.07.08)
for all of you idiot , you have stolen the land and pushed the people to the edge , now your are critisizing this pathetic discount to arabs , i think all arabs should not even trade with any israelis MF.
9. #5, Tarik, you have it completely reversed.
David ,   Boston, USA   (08.07.08)
Arabs ethnically cleansed 850,000 Jews. Wiped out all remains. The laws are still on the books in Jordan Palestine. 0% Jews allowed. Israel is pretty fair. Maybe not all individuals, but in law. Its time for the arabs to pay back to Jews the billions in dollars and thousands of acres they stole over the decades. This fund must be included in any peace agreement.
10. ACE HARDWARE IS LOOKING BETTER NOW!
Ben Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (08.07.08)
11. all to do about nothing
sami ,   yaffa   (08.07.08)
12. Where are the criminal indictments
Mordechi   (08.07.08)
Racism and incitement to racism are criminal acts in Israel. Therefore under Israeli law anyone involved must be arrested now. The assets of the criminal organization should be siezed. They can be used to help the victims of the expulsion from Gaza and to help new immigrants under the law of return as an act of affirmitive action
13. 5. just wondering
truth strikes again   (08.07.08)
are u the author of the rewritten history that u attained that claptrap from...or is ur brother...
14. Home Center is history to me.
Dovid ,   Modiin   (08.07.08)
15. I Am Sure There Are Alot More Arab Preferences
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel   (08.07.08)
Thanks for the heads up. As a new olah in need of MANY items I will make sure NOT to shop there until this apartheid action is squashed.
16. boycott homecenter.. go to ace
mish ,   tlv il   (08.07.08)
17. Time 2 Boycott
Torah J ,   Salt Lake US   (08.07.08)
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky says we shouldnt hire Arabs because we are in a state of war with them. An arab killed 8 yeshiva boys, and we had 2 crazy bulldozer terrorists who killed 3 and left many injured. Yet this store offers them discounts. It is TIME FOR A BOYCOTT of this store!!!
18. Home Center: you lost me as a customer
Oleg ,   Holon   (08.07.08)
19. Home Center is history
Harry   (08.07.08)
20. Wipe your tears, Tarik.
Cameron ,   USA   (08.07.08)
Given the many centuries of Muslims systematically stepping on minorities in their midst, comments like yours merely make one smile.
21. In UK and EU they get big discounts for BabyBuggies&Babymilk
Alan ,   SA   (08.07.08)
22. Question for Ramallah?
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (08.07.08)
Would you approve a discount for Jews in your city? Do you think Jews in Syria or Iraq are offered discounts? Another question: Don't you think it's time for you to get on with life instead of living in the past? It's 2008, not 1948.
23. Haifa University?
HumHum   (08.07.08)
"I tried to think what would happen if it was a discount only for Jews..." Nothing would happen, Chai. Arab visitors to Haifa University have to obtain a pass to go inside. Has anything been done about that?
24. Isn't this a form of Apartheid?
Jake   (08.07.08)
25. #5, There are no such thing as "Palestinians in Israel"
Jake   (08.07.08)
An Arab who is citizen of Israel has no right to also be a "Palestinian". It's a simple as that. Those Arabs who cannot hack being loyal to the State of Israel should get the heck out of Israel and live in the Palestinian Authority or Hamastan, it's their choice.
26. Congratulations Adina Kutnicki, #15
Jake   (08.07.08)
Congratulations on your Aliyah. I'm very happy to hear about that. I take back what I said before regarding making commentaries from the United States.
27. A dozen cars blocking the entrance would be a good start.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.07.08)
28. Add me to the boycott
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.07.08)
I will never shop in any of their stores for any reason and I spend several thousands of shekels each year. Ace is going to be place that gets my money from now on
29. I too will boycott home center!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.07.08)
I feel sorry I spent money in the Afula sore last week. But no more!
30. to #8 Stop telling everyone what Israelis do
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.07.08)
with your mother. We did not steal land,but you are trespassing on Jewish land.
