32. How about dogs?
Benny Wright ,   UK   (01.16.09)
Are they allowed in?
33. New Zealand hypo...
Paolo Ortenzi ,   Rome, Italy   (01.16.09)
They are a bunch of hypos. Regarding my country, Italy, if someone would dare to expose such a sign out of the shop, the police will strip his license on the spot. Italy justice is slow on a lot of things, but for some of them, like this, you can easily find yourself in front of a judge without a shop anymore.
34. And yet NZ has a Jewish PM
Gedaliah ,   Israel   (01.16.09)
35. ISLAM will blow in to your face
strong israeli   (01.16.09)
All of Europe will feel what is the real ISLAM is..Don't worry..wait 4,5 years and you will eat the same sheat from muslims.And it will be to late.
36. To #18 and the #19 (the fool from Libya)
Yaron ,   USA   (01.16.09)
THe reason Jews are forced to have their own roads is because of the NON STOP belligerence demonstrated by the Palestinians around every corner. Your self-righteousness is only trumped by your ignorance. You would be better served worrying about why the savages from Gaza purposely target women and children.
37. That's it....
Yaron ,   USA   (01.16.09)
Boycott on NZ and let them throw their lot in with the Fascists. They have had a bug up their behinds for quite a while over there....they should inform themselves a bit more before overtly demonstrating their ignorance with such a ban.
38. #21
Yaron ,   USA   (01.16.09)
Are you freaking kidding me DUDE? Hand the keys BACK to whom exactly? The Egyptians, who didn't want the cesspool that is Gaza back (of course not the parts the Israelis lived in because they have self-respect)? It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid, then open it and PROVE it!

(01.16.09)
imposter! you're an arab any idiot would know that tel aviv is not spelled as you spelled it....teal aviv. this is the spelling of an arab, an arab without intelect, asn arab without education, an arab without any brains to think. please arab, learn to spell tel aviv instead of teal aviv! and don't pretend to be a jew or israeli. you insult our intelligence and are too stupid to spell correctly if you want to be a smart imposter!
40. New Zealand Pub Bans Israel
Mitzi Green ,   Pigeon Forge Tn USA   (01.16.09)
While this anti semitic was in Palestine I assume he ignored the children Hamas killed during all the years of attacks on Israel.I say his business has failed already and The G-d Of Israel will give him his just reward for the curses he has placed against Israel .Blessed be the Name of Israel and her people !
41. I disagree
mouse ,   New Zealand   (01.16.09)
Moshe you start by directly comparing the actions of a pub to a nation, then blaming Saudi Arabia as a nation for terrorist attacks. Syria, Iran and Iraq, under Saddam are okay and sanctioned by whom? This action was about war and your comments did not even relate to it. They are also probably very offensive generalisations to some just like the actions of this bar owner against Israeli people. We are all humans remember. The real difference is where we are born so I think you're being way too gung-ho in justifying sanctioned killing of people. I wish 'John Cully' didn't represent us either, racism isn't acceptable.
42. collective punishment
jacqueline ,   usa   (01.16.09)
well, it seems to be that israelis seem to know a thing or two about collective punishment. just ask the people of gaza. darn them for voting in hamas! they get what they deserve. isn't that your logic? but the citizens in israel who voted in your murdering government, no one should hold you accountable for the actions of that government that they might disagree with? perhaps israelis should adopt a new slogan for your country - masters of double standards and blameless in everything!
43. innocent babies
Eugene ,   Ireland   (01.16.09)
Hamas is using children as shields and sacrificing these children to their cause of destruction. They glory in death. . Firing rockets into Israel from people's homes were these children live is a cowardly act of evil. Why are the Muslims around the world not outraged at this attrocity. Perhaps we should all consider what Islam stands for and recognize that this is a war against everything and everyone that is not a follower of Islam. Israel has suffered rocket attacks for years as these killers prod Israel for the reaction that we see today. The children suffer as a direct result of this orchestrated plan by Hamas to destroy Israel while hiding behind children and with plenty of support from Iran and Syria. These are the real perpetrators of this evil.
44. Jews have no business at non-kosher pubs anyway.
Texas ,   US   (01.16.09)
45. Jews and pigs not welcome
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (01.16.09)
Thank you New Zealand for reminding us why we can never go back to the exile the existed before the establishment of the Jewish state. Thank you New Zealand for reminding us that we will look to no one else for our survival.
46. Sorry about the little ones, but...
John Dash ,   Rancho Mirage, CA   (01.16.09)
am not surprised at the one sided position of another arab in denial. I guess it's OK to kill Israeli children & women. It's OK for Hamas to launch their relentless rockets into Israel. Well, now you know, It's not OK! Hamas and it's followers are the dumbest people on the planet. They needed to be taught a lesson they will not soon forget. Iran is next!
47. Short memories
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (01.16.09)
When an Israeli intelligence (and I use that term loosely) agent was stealing and forging New Zealand passports and was caught, most Jews protested and called New Zealnd's actions "antisemitic'. And you wonder why you are so 'beloved' throughout the world.
48. #18
Italian   (01.16.09)
Tell Me Why It Is Fine To Have Jews Only Roads in the occupied West Bank and it is not fine to have shops ban Israelis? Answer: Arab Drive by shootings!
49. Great news! Israelis should just live in Israel!
Brian ,   Chicago   (01.16.09)
At last some good news on this site!
50. Come visit Alaska. Screw New Zealand.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.16.09)
Pompous cult worshippers of nutty muslims.
51. #38
john   (01.16.09)
no im not just talking about gaza, im talking about your entire godforsaken country built on the suffering of others. lands ethnically cleansed in order to fulfill prophecies from a book written by jews for jews. hand the keys back to the people whose land you built your country on. then again a lot of them still have the keys to the houses they were forced from by your "brave" warriors.
52. Im off to NZ. What a great Place
Chocko ,   NY, USA   (01.16.09)
Its decided, Im going to NZ this year for my holiday. What a place.... And Im going to spend as much money on alcohol and food in that Bar as my body can possibly hold. Well Done!!!!!!
53. #18 "world citizen"
reality check ,   Tel Aviv   (01.16.09)
My oh my, we've got a lot to work to do with you. First lesson of the day: The "Israeli-only" roads are not for "Jews-only". Any Israeli citizen whether they are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Bahai, etc. can use them. Second: There is a reason why these roads were created, and I'm sorry to disappoint, but it wasn't due to "racist, apartheid behaviour" it was because there had been so many innocent civilians shot to death on the existing roads, that new roads had to be created to guarantee their security. I guess in your warped mind, that makes us the bad guys? Why don't you come over and visit our "Zionist Paradise" and see for yourself?
54. why is israel building fence on people land
zul ,   malaysia   (01.16.09)
why is not israel building barier stick to its own border not encroaching on palestine land
55. # 21...HaHaHa. Good One. I like it
Chocko ,   NY, USA   (01.16.09)
Excellent John. I Like that one a lot.... :-)
56. # 48. Maybe LA should adopt policy
Chocko ,   NY, USA   (01.16.09)
Yeah. Thats a really good idea Italian. Maybe we will ban all Blacks or Mexicans from certain Freeways in the states.... Oh Hell.... What are we going to do about our New President. You Moron!!!!
57. 11 Israeli: The Bible says many times, "FEAR NOT"...
Rivkah   (01.16.09)
Australia is suffering from a drought so severe (from sins) it can no longer export wheat and produce it needs to feed its people. Where do you think New Zealand is going to get its food imports from? Much of the food producing world is suffering from droughts and floods that have greatly diminished their capacity to produce food for themselves, much less to export it to New Zealand and elsewhere. BUT ISRAEL IS STILL PRODUCING SO MUCH FOOD, IT CAN FEED ITS OWN AND EUROPE and many other peoples like in New Zealand. Most White New Zealanders are descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob through the tribe of Ephraim. Ephraim was a cousin of Judah's children, the Jews. They need to look where God's favor is and get on God's side. Are attacks on Israel a sign of God's disfavor? No. When the devil is on target, that is where the most flack is. The devil attacks God's sacred line because he hates God. What God is going to do back to the Gazans is described in Zephaniah chapter 2 if anybody in New Zealand has a Bible. I hear they are pretty agnostic there, but someone should have a Bible to read to see where God's heart is. Hint: it is not with the religion of Islam that denies the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, and the Messiah that has come to earth many times and will come to deliver his beloved Jews as the Lion of Judah.
58. #18 world citizen the world
mira ,   israel   (01.16.09)

59. Chocko #52
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.16.09)
Yes I am sure you will be most comfortable with fellow fascists.
60. # 43 - Eugene from Ireland
Chocko ,   NY, USA   (01.16.09)
You obviously come from a hotbed of Islamic acticity Eugene. Tell us all about the hassles you get from the Muslim community in Ireland... Please give us examples of Muslims firing rockets in Downtown Dublin.... Im sure you can tell us how hard it is to live in a country dominated by Jihadist politics.. Please do go on, I am interested.... What an Idiot.. Gives a whole new meaning to the term Eugenics
