31. If they care so much for human rights...
Ronit   (12.28.08)
then why weren't they out there campaigning for the rights of innocent Israeli civilians being killed by Palestinian's Qassam rockets?
32. Funny how protests are always in Tel Aviv and not elsewhere
Rachel   (12.28.08)
It makes sense because they live in a bubble, free of having to deal with incessant terrorism. It's easy for them to protest and to scream for the Palestinian's right to kill innocent Israeli civilians, because they are not the ones under constant threat. They are out in their cafes and clubs like nothing is going on while people in Sderot are suffering daily. If a missile where to hit Tel Aviv, they would be the ones screaming for revenge. Until then, it doesn't matter as long as it happens to somebody else.
33. Israeli brutality?
Watching you... ,   London, England.   (12.28.08)
The left are the enemy within. Why only five arrested and not all 300 of them? These people are a danger - round them up They are enemy collaboraters. They are Israel's enemy from within. Probably paid by the EU. Judging by the comments left on this forum it does appear that fascism has finally crept into the Jewish psyche. Not surprising given your heritage. We have a saying in England, "Hate nothing, for you will always end up becoming that which you despise". What all Jews despise is of course fascism, ergo you have become fascist...have'nt you? What your government are doing is atrocious. You claim that Hamas are terrorising you and your government use that as justification to do exactly the same back. On top of that you shoot children for throwing stones at your amateur army. Thats when your not stealing land that doesn't belong to you. One day you vandals of the Israeli nation will wake up and find British aircraft carriers waiting off your coast. What will you do then? Who's fault will it be then...were will your terrorists be then? If your government don't stop with this insanity then Israel will have failed and the great experiment will need to be brought to an end...kappish?
34. Let them protest!
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (12.28.08)
It is FANTASTIC that they are ALLOWED to protest. They are FREE to protest. Were HAMAS or Arabs in charge there would be very limited freedoms. And there would be NO protests. It's a shame these protesters have not the same feelings for their own citizens. It's a shame they prefer to stand beside people who have terrorized adults and children in Israel for years. Perhaps the protesters should try living in Sderot, or even closer to Gaza. Maybe then they will quiet down. But even if they protest all the more loudly, how good it is that they actually can raise a voice in protest.
35. Uh, not watching what's in the water in London!
JPS ,   Efrat   (12.28.08)
Somebody is poisoning the London water with stupid pills. Anybody who could post the following must either be drinking tainted water, or perhaps had a few too many old heavyweight laptops dropped on their head: "One day you vandals of the Israeli nation will wake up and find British aircraft carriers waiting off your coast. What will you do then? " Ah, yes indeed. One day we will wake up and find that the Islamic government in London is sending the Royal Navy - oops, I'm sure they'll kill the Windsors and install some Ayatolla - um, where was I? Oh yes, that Britain will send His Highness the new King Ayatolla I of England's Royal Navy to support the Islamic Republic of Gaza in it's fight to liberate Palestine and kill all those Jewish infidels. Absolutely. the Ark Royal off the Israeli coast launching air strikes against Israel to support the Palestinians. I can definitely see that happening. Not. Somebody must be putting LSD in this guy's drinking water.
36. Palestinain from Gaza #19!
shrinkDave ,   gush etzion Israel   (12.28.08)
You are right. No one thinks you can be stopped by power. But you can be slowed down, and controlled for a time if enough damage is done to you. And we know you'll come back and try to bite us again; and again we'll slow you down to a controllable level of behavior for a time. Your choice, not ours.
37. Hey, Brit # 33!
shrinkDave ,   Gush Etzion Israel   (12.28.08)
First, I'd like you to know that we understand where your coming from. Remember, we've had to deal with the likes of you for several thousand years. Second, you really need to continue your therapy; that level of anger and vitriol has been shown to occur most commonly in people with stomach and liver cancer, so take care!
38. Tel Aviv.The wackiest city in all of Israel.Gays,swingers,or
gies&all of Israels ,   dememted live there.   (12.28.08)
39. Avi it is too late to feel ashamed
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (12.28.08)
You should have felt ashamed to be Jewish all those months and years when the Israeli government didn't do a damn thing to protect Jews in the South from bloody Arb murderers. Your Now it is too little too late for you to protest what you could have prevented what is happening today This should be your biggest shame of yourself Live with it, sleep with it, die with it
40. The leftists are stupid lunatics!
Nim ,   Netanya   (12.28.08)
The leftists are stupid lunatics! I feel disgracefulness and obnoxiousness for these people! If that's what they think, then they don't deserve to live in Israel. It's funny that they support the hamas who wants to kill them also. And why should we lift the siege from Gaza, so that they could get ammunition and explosives from other terrorists??
41. #13,`Then convert to Islam.
Jake   (12.28.08)
The Jews do not need your kind.
42. Important to read this!!!
Matthew ,   U.S.A.   (12.28.08)
There are those who are Leftists. There are those who are Passivists. It's not the Left that scares me...it's the Passivists. The funny thing is: The people protesting are always from TA, Passivists and Secular. This is a statistical fact. Nab any one of these protestors and they will tell you they are all three mentioned above. It's a shame that a Catholic boy like myself is more patriotic and loyal to Israel than these protestors ever will be to their own country. Go IDF and IAF!!!
43. to shrinkDave 36
Palestine.my.love ,   Gaza   (12.28.08)
yes , Slow us Down ... but not Killing the spirit of Challange
44. Rachel#32_As to why ALWAYS in TA
Arie ,   BaGolan   (12.28.08)
Seems you answered that quite appropriately. all the TA leftists care about is that they are able to go to sleep quietly at night with no missiles raining on them as they do Sderot; and their capacity to enjoy the TA cafe nightlife undisturbed. All that of course will change if a hamass rocket ever strikes Dizengoff. Then they will be screaming demanding to know why Tzahal is not protecting their arses!
45. # 33 "watching you" from longdo, uk
observer ,   usa   (12.28.08)
the end pard of you comments is pure wish, that is waht you want to happens, and then masking it in the wrap of ," ...because you own fault " this is the reality that ahmadinejad exists in all cultures , and all colors... do not play intelectual, be honest with yourself respectfully
46. watching you, #33
David   (12.28.08)
Go Britain! All's well in the Kingdom! G-d save the Queen! ...Just kidding. You're nothing but a self-inflated, insatiable imperialist. Since I've read so many posts written by people with your precise disease on this website, and since so many of them proclaim to be from your precious little imperialistic island, it makes me wonder, are all of you the same person, or is there something in your water which deteriorates the brain?
47. leftist and meretz
alexi   (12.28.08)
meretz and beilin who brought rockets and suicide bombings to israel via olso can go to blood hell with their academic ph.D. models of peace which lead to israel deaths. oran and meretz would negotiate with hitler because they are afraid of the swamp.israel will fight swamp, avoid or minimize it, but the fight goes on until barak's goals(not olmerts) are achieved. In the meantime, Meretz is a fringe, like shas.
48. My answer to a fool in London
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (12.28.08)
"Watching you" in London asks, "One day you vandals of the Israeli nation will wake up and find British aircraft carriers waiting off your coast. What will you do then?" You're either too young or too ignorant to remember that Israel's IAF and navy once served as a check against the Soviet Sixth Fleet in the eastern Mediterranean. If they didn't fear mixing it up with the Soviets, trust me, your aircraft carrier better keep its distance.
49. #13
Jane   (12.28.08)
Having said that, you prove that you are NOT Jewish. You are simply a disgrace to those who are.
50. #33
kp ,   uk   (12.28.08)
so you think that British aircraft carriers might one day be off the coast of israel.? Big deal ! I'm sure Isarel will tremble at the thought of the feasome Royal Navy who recently surrendered like lambs to the Iranian navy. However this is never likely to happen however you may wish it.
51. the looney leftists again!
mark Katzman ,   san Francisco, USA   (12.28.08)
I'm curious-what does the left exactly want? Anarchy? Ayrab rule-not that, because then they'd die? What kind of country/world do they envision these days since their idols (trotsky, stalin, uncle ho,) were all failures and were killers and tyrants? Is it just like the lemmings? Self-suicide? Someone please enlighten me. How can a lesbian hold up a sign which says, "Queers for Palestine?" Is it just mass sickness?
52. communist tactic hasn't changed since world war one
Hennypenny   (12.28.08)
Always be against all wars, that way when people are tired of the horrors, they will vote for communists, remembering they were the only ones who were against. This psychology works.
53. wouldn't be suprised if olmert's family was there
chaim ,   brooklyn ny   (12.28.08)
54. proves once again,leftis'm is a mental disease
chaim ,   brooklyn ny   (12.28.08)
55. There is a difference between pacifists and traitors
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ   (12.28.08)
Interestingly, I haven't read about these leftists protesting the ongoing rocket and missile attacks on Sderot and other Negev communities. Do these hypocrites know about the terrible toll that the Hamas-sponsered attacks have had on Israeli children? Maybe they just don't care. Nobody in their right mind loves war but as the Bible says, there is a time for peace and a time for war. After 3000 rockets fired from Gaza at Sderot, the time for war finally arrived. This should be just the start of an all-out drive to destroy Hamas and its terrorist government in Gaza.
56. to "duh" #5
gersh ,   ny usa   (12.28.08)
I don't dissagree that israel is a democracy - the problem with the left is that these bunch of idiots only protest in favor of the arabs - but never for the poor people - their own jewis people - who are being attacked by a terrorist group - which if the left dosn't know also calls for the destruction of all of israel including the bars and cafe's of tel aviv . thats the issue - " duh"
57. Self Hating Wakkos
(12.28.08)
58. Left-wing activists protest Gaza op as 'genocide'
maranatha   (12.28.08)
Let them be transported to Sderot or to Gaza. These are the ones who do not know their reason for existence. Let them travel to Gaza or Iran and see howmuch they are loved by these muslims when they have had their trhoats slit.
59. Yes you should be ashamed
Freejew2U ,   Israel   (12.28.08)
Morons like you have caused the terrorists to get a foot hold in Israel. You should be ashamed of being so ignorant that you dont care about Israels survival!
60. These protestors are your only hope
L   (12.28.08)
You supporters of Israel- are mad. You do not understand that these protestors are the only sympathetic face that your country is showing at the moment. They are the people keeping you human and carrying the almost destroyed flag of peace- we must praise all Israeli supporters of peace and against war!
