31. Well done Noa!!
Riva ,   Jerusalem/Liverpool   (01.23.09)
You don't have to take your words back whaen you're telling the truth! Go Girl!!
32. false reflection
tsedek ,   ramat-gan, israel   (01.23.09)
I thought I read this was an non-political fundraiser to HELP victims (not depending on who one thinks were to blame for their ill-fate, but to seriously CARE for the victims themselves). Now it has turned into a political circus. Poor Gazans. Their fate hi-jacked from all sides so everyone can make their own political agenda over their backs. Shame on everybody doing so!

Those pictures CAN'T be compared , only disturbed brains can associate people waiting for their death , and people waiting to be checked at a border , people humiliated because being Jewish , and potentially suicide bombers being controlled . And you forget the major fact , we DON't want to exterminate the Palestinians .
34. rebilding Gaza
OdS ,   Trondheim Norway   (01.23.09)
The Germans voted for the Nazis in 1933 and got collectively punished for that (see photo of Dresden 1945) The Palestinians voted for Hamas and got collectively punished in 2008/9. If they hav'nt learned the lesson they-ll get a repetition I'm sure. Do not send Palestinians money , their leaders ara thievs. Let the Arabs who planned the mess alredy from 1948 on pay the bill.
35. Not easy to speak the truth!...
Raoul ,   Israel   (01.23.09)
as Noa certainly has. All strength to her.
36. Dear Noa !
Jennnie ,   NYC   (01.23.09)
Col Hacavod, Noa ! You give us a renewed hope in Israeli people. The sense, that not all are brainwashed in believing that terror should be tolerated and the lives and safety of Israeli people could be violated with no stopping... You are telling the truth, keep it up !!
37. Kol Hakavod Noa!
(01.23.09)
38. noa is a hypocryt!
oded   (01.23.09)
why participate in an event that would help our enemy? beleive, me ,there are dozens of traumetized israeli families who have lived under the threats of kassams for years who would love to hear her sing for them.. what is that with helping the enemy but your own? trust me, gazans are flushed with cash and supplies. the israeli families are the ones who need the help!
39. I love that Woman!
Ezra ,   san diego   (01.23.09)
She is so strong and she speaks the truth; where can you find a woman like that?
40. Keep it Light, Keep it Bright, Keep it Gay!
Gideon Reader   (01.23.09)
WHAT? No full body contact , all starkers Chubby Lambada dancers contest? Cowards! No more irredescent body paint for you!
41. Noa was wrong and right
Asaf Golan ,   Sugar Land   (01.23.09)
Noa was wrong to participate in the event. And she was right to write the letter. How disgusting for Israelis to take part in a fund raising form Gaza Hamas supporters. (stop with your BS that they don't support Hamas. There was an election and there is no opposition even now.) It is better for Israelis to dump the Arabs and start dealing with our own problems and our own people.
42. Good for Noa! Mer-Hamas and Co. can go to hell (in Gaza)
Israeli mother   (01.23.09)
Everyone knows that Mer-Khamis is a woman beater and a fantatic Jew hater. However, until today I didn't realize that Noa was as intelligent as she is a wonderful singer and song writer. The people of Israel think EXACTLY like Noa. Mer-Hamas, eat your heart out!
43. Walk about love !!

44. It was a nice thought though
Israel   (01.23.09)
But her 'open letter' was a little arrogant and condescending. Seeing as Hamas got into power because the majority of Palestinians voted for them.
45. Aviva from Tel Aviv
m   (01.23.09)
Your family in Sderot must be very proud of your donation to buy more rockets to be used against them.
46. What to do with these elitist leftist?
Q&A   (01.23.09)
Draft them to the Army and put them in the front line defending the Holy Settlers. Maybe living with proud Jews will rub off on them. I doubt it, but at least the won't be able to spread their self hate.
47. Noa and Hamas
Marilyn ,   USA   (01.23.09)
I agree with Noa. Emotionally I feel that a leadership which is not putting the well being of it's citizens first is not that valid. It does not matter how they came into power. Now Gazans may be thinking differently in some way or maybe there is something religious about it. For example we are somewhat limited in options of what we can do if not liking a leader, somewhat because of religious reasons and ideas of structure and such, however under the US law it is different. The ideas of government and religion get complicated. I think that it would help me to understand, if they would explain the reasoning of this.
48. Such hypocrisy
Lee Kaplan ,   San Francisco USA   (01.24.09)
She calls on the one hand for bombing the population and then wants to sing for them. Who needs such hypocritical blood money?
49. Dumb Artical...
WEREFEAT ,   USA   (01.24.09)
What a dumb article. Israel has always been fascist. Israel is the most racist, the most fascist, the most sexist etc. of any country. And they should be. It's just that they want everyone else to be their slaves and help them along. LOL!!
50. sadness
myriam ,   france   (01.24.09)
these people are desesperating. This palestinans elected monsters and they are happy.
51. UGLY
ODED LEVI   (01.24.09)
For me, she is ugly outside and inside.
52. I planed to go to the concert but now I wont
Tamir ,   Zionist Left   (01.24.09)
this concert was supposed to be for the *Palestinian children* and not Hamas Kol Hakvud Haninum Nini. in your letter you spoked for most of us, normal peace loving Israelis.
53. Hahaha. Noa isn't Left Enough!
Mike Sless ,   Israel   (01.24.09)
As much as I enjoy Noa's music, she is way too left for me and this turns me off and would probably keep me from going to her concerts/buying her music anymore. However, what's funny is that even these lefties consider her way to right wing. She is very mistaken anyway in her letter to Gaza. The Gazan's voted for Hamas en mass so why is she writing them that she "knows" they want to get rid of Hamas. In Psychological terms she is projecting what she thinks onto the Palestinians but the opposite is true. They mostly love Hamas and support them as do most Arabs. Probably Mira Awad doesn't and Noa probably thinks the Gazans think just like Mira Awad but they don't.
54. I spoke with organizers
Karin   (01.24.09)
I interviewed organizers of this so called political-free concert. Sounds like the sweet words they told me were all bullshit. They said that each artist had their own politics, and that was fine. Guess if you support Israel and not terrorism, it's not good enough. Karin www.greenprophet.com
55. #51 Why ugly?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.24.09)
What's ugly in asking the Palestinians to get rid of their terrorist government, which is responsible for their misery, as well as thousands of rockets raining on our country? I fail to follow your logic, Oded.
56. #49 talk about dumb...
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.24.09)
"Artical"? "Israel is the most racist, fascist, sexist of any country"? "Israel wants everyone else to be their slaves"? Which asylum did you escape from?
57. The anti-Israel promoters and performers
Keren ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.25.09)
of this project should be boycotted by all patriotic and self-respecting Israelis. I, for one, would not spend an agora to support those who, taking advantage of the freedoms of Israel, give aid and comfort to the enemy.
58. Aviva- Why not send your $ to cities hit by grads?
Miri ,   Ashdod   (01.25.09)
59. Way to go, Noa! You're beautiful inside and out!
Miri ,   Ashdod   (01.25.09)
60. Noa is an idiot who is in love with arabs
(01.25.09)
and cares not for her own country. It is halarious how now she is not "left enough" for those she so much loves. TOO BAD about shlomi shaban-i actually like"d" him-now will not buy his recordings as well-since he rather give concert for gazans then israelis.
