1. Protests
Nili ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.29.08)
How sad that these pro-hamas students don't realize that only in Israel are they free to protest against the country they are living in--in Gaza protesters would probably be shot. Why were there no protests all the years that Israel has been bombed, blown up and attacked? These pampered kids are obviously only learning the same bias the media feeds to western world. How very sad that the hatred runs so strong that the truth is hidden.
2. Students Will Protest Anyrthing
emanon ,   USA   (12.29.08)
Even if the universities declared free tuition and no entrance exams, the students would protest.
3. I am glad they have the right to protest
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.29.08)
To bad that right doesn't exist in any Arab country
4. Where in the arab world do jews can protest ?
rachel ,   usa   (12.29.08)
It doesn't take a genius to know that after years of rockets falling into Israel ,there was going to be retaliation . The question is :how come there was never a voice against the Rockets? If someone slaps me constantly , I will eventually punch back ..... Hamas love being Martyrs .They don't care if innocents suffer.They have no shame ....The palestinian are used as the first line of battle for the whole muslim world ...........
5. Spending Too Much Time In San Francisco
David H ,   Marietta USA   (12.29.08)
In the words of my generation, "if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem". These kids with too much time on their hands are not part of the solution. Give 'em some more homework. Their buddies in the IDF are clearly part of the solution.
6. Law to arrest 5th Columnists
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (12.29.08)
Israel should make a law making it a crime to ally oneself with the Enemy.
7. Pity the leftest terrorists sympathizers
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. DRSSA   (12.29.08)
8. Israeli Arabs you don't belong here
USA   (12.29.08)
Go to Palestine and Gaza. Israel is not your state and never will be.
9. ARABS GO TO GAZA UNIVERSITY WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE
(12.29.08)
10. call a spade a spade
pissed off   (12.29.08)
these are our enemies sooner or later they will be treated properly (as enemies)
11. What is this nonsense?
somnys   (12.29.08)
What is this leftist/rightist nonsense? So pro-Hamas fascists (Arab or otherwise) are "leftist." And an Israel supporter is a "rightist"? Does nobody see the insane abuse of language here? It's like calling WW2 era "anti-war" fascist movements in America (e.g. German American Bund) leftist, and the regular antifascist Americans "righitst."
12. Weak and Puny I calls it.
Gideon Reader   (12.29.08)
"Take their I.D.Cards Away?" "May your village burn?" Man. THAT is heavy stuff. Being a street cop in the 60's and having attended many protests as a guest in uniform; invited to partake of the physical contests, I am in awe of such calls. No thrown bags of excrement? No Whammo BB slingshots fired at LE people, dogs or horses? No condoms full of urine?No Molotovs. Ballbats with nails? No? None? Any you call THAT a street protest? Hrumph! And you call yourself a Right Wing. The leftists are MUCH better at that sort of thing. After all they study it at home.
13. very sick
Mark Katzman ,   San Francisco, USA   (12.29.08)
Oh my God-how sick the left is-actual Israeli students protesting their country's effort to end a war forced on them--we live in the sickest of times, the sickest. It leaves one almost speechless.
14. @6
gregg ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.29.08)
Liliane, With such a law, this country would be a dictature !! Going against everybody's freedom of thoughts is for the Arab world, or Russia, or China but not for Israel dear !! I'd like UK making a law againts anybody who doesn't like the Queen !! How stupid this sounds !
15. What is this...
somnys   (12.29.08)
What is this leftist/rightist nonsense? So pro-Hamas fascists (Arab or otherwise) are "leftist." And an Israel supporter is a "rightist"? Does nobody see the insane abuse of language here?

16. protesting Arab-Israeli students
Bernhard A ,   Ashkelon   (12.29.08)
They should be kicked out of Israeli universities permanently. Let them go and study at Muslim universities, like the one in Gaza.
17. #9 Better yet, go to what's left of Gaza University
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (12.29.08)
18. kadima & labour will loose votes to arab parties
zionist forever   (12.29.08)
They are about to loose jewish votes to arab parties. The arab parties are the only ones publicly speaking out against this operation so the idiot left wing do gooder jews are probably now going to vote for the only parties that are standing up against the Gaza operation. It is though a double edge sword for Likud. Natanyahu can't condem the government because he has been calling for something like this but its allowed Kadima & Labour to try and steal his ground which is the security issue and the public trust Bibi more on security than the other two. Livni is going to do very well out of this operation at Bibis expense.
19. This is ridicilous
Roni ,   UK   (12.29.08)
Why instead didn't they protest when Hamas fires rockets on their heads and terrorises southern communities of innocent people with daily fear. I fail to understand...
20. we have a country of enemies and imbeciles
yael ,   israel   (12.29.08)
21. Expel all the arabs and left wing "jews"
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.29.08)
from all institutes of higher learning. Fire all the professors that side with the arab enemy and forbid anyone from hiring them.
22. Let's stop already this consuming attrition?
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.29.08)
Solution: Jews in Israel;arabs in Arabic Peninsula;Christians in Rome(Europe if you want).That;s not just a wonderfull idea? We can even do some busines together:they there;we here!
23. Remind me why I will never support TA U
aL   (12.29.08)
Hebrew U , the Technion as well as BGU and U of Haifa. They are pandering to the Arabs and so deserve to be closed. They serve no function whatsoever. Poetic justice that many of them lost money at the hands of Madoff. Arabs out of Israel now!
24. financing
Arie ,   BaGolan   (12.29.08)
How many of the protesters' educations are being financed by Jewish tax dollars? Probably all. It is long past due time to require National Service for ALL: whether Jew or muslim, secular or Haredi, BaHai or Druze or Christian! You want a free education? You want free health care? You want civil service jobs? Then participate. If you are ok without then don't. Citizenship has obligations. Freedoms have sacrifices
25. Generation of hope
(12.30.08)
i hope those students stays with clean hearts without hate and full of love to eachother ... to build a new area empty from hate and blood .... God bless them all
26. This freedom of speech is adorable!
A. B. ,   USA   (01.07.09)
I can hardly believe that Arabs would give Israeli students to protest against Hamas. I can just adore the university representatives for the freedom they gave to students for expressing their ideas and points, even during the war. Excellent!
