1. A Worldwide Movement Against Israel ...
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.14.09)
is taking root. Just like the racist apartheid nation of South Africa, the criminal actions of Israel shall be brought into the sunlight. Israelis think that they can create their own reality. They think their soldiers and politicians are above international law. The civilized world will show you how wrong you are.
2. And these protesters..
Concerned realist   (02.14.09)
are complicit in the terrorizing of Israeli and Gazan arab citizens. They support hamass, an entity which has vowed to kill Jews and does not recognize the state of Israel So douche bag Clark in Chicago is complicit in the murder of innocent civilians. His address should be published so any and all can write to him.
3. The ISM (Incredibly Small Minds) are simply Jew-haters.
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.14.09)
Did they ever make a peep when all those rockets and mortars were landing in Israel? Nope. How about when all those yeshiva students were gunned down? Nope. Or when the woman and her little kids were murdered at point-blank range? Nada. The kinds of people the ISM attracts are misguided twits. Enjoy the dancing. The clowns outside are dressed up for Halloween.
4. And if "Grads" were falling at Chicago?
frankie ,   Tel Aviv   (02.14.09)
Stupid hate-mongers!The anti-Zionists are anti-Semites and anti-Globalist riffraff. It is pathetic that amid such SOB's are Jewish self-haters - of the ilk of Norman Finkelstein, Naomi Klein, Ilan Pappe...
5. Jews, Where is the Jewish Defence League?
Mark ,   NYC   (02.14.09)
6. To Israel Haters
vit ,   usa   (02.14.09)
Only Muslim Extremists And Political Radicals Hate Israel.
7. dance group protest
mel kohan ,   wellington, fla, usa   (02.14.09)
Someone needs to counter protest these anti zionist prtotests. The Gaza war was a just war. The anti Zionist groups are Arab based who will not tolerate non moslem sovereignty in the middle east. This has been and will always be a rascist stance. People need to wake up to this essential truth.

9. "dozens of people" is not newsworthy!
redbourn ,   Tel Aviv   (02.14.09)
10. Its only ok if its in the name of Allah
World Citzen ,   Citizen of Israel   (02.14.09)
Its okay for you to send your women, children and families to die in the name of allah but its not okay for israel to send its soldiers to defend their people? youre such a hipocrite along with your stupid dogma of hate and racism. Its only okay if its in the name of Allah isnt it?
11. these protesters are lying!!!
(02.14.09)
my wife and i attended this beautiful event in chicago. amongst us were not only jews (we are not jews), but christians, blacks, chinese and many (surprise!) arabs. we all stood in line and chatted and people smiled and laughed at these stupid demonstrators. we were amazed at their audacity. most of us didn't even oay any attention to them and didn't say anything because they seemed violent. NO ONE LEFT THE LINE. the line was not long at all because these nuts came only at the mostly end of the line when most of us already were inside. they tried to get in, but the police came there to disperese them. there were only 12 or so of them. i repeat. no one leftb the line in protest. we all got in and the show started peacefully. no one left the line. they are lying. craig and dorothy newcastle, chicago, illinois
12. ISM probably finance by liberal American Jews
Tomas   (02.15.09)
The ISM is probably financae by the most idiotic group in the world. The American liberal Jews.
13. antisemites and hypocrites
Me ,   planet Earth   (02.15.09)
they are not protesting when hamass is killing Jews , or when hamass is killing arabs in Gaza, or when hamass fires rockets on Israeli cities, and Israeli children are growing up used to bomb shelters, or when MILLIONS of people in Sudan are murdered, or when other countries fight each other , and tens of thousands die... But these hypocrites and antisemites ARE protesting when Jews dare to fight back. According to these antisemites, Jews are supposed to be killed, not fight back, right? And ISM only defends those who kill Jews. How about defending Kurds, or Chechens, who are subjected to a REAL genocide? Not interesting for the ISM, since Kurds and Chechens are not busy killing Jews. ISM should give membership to ahmadinejad, and kkk, since they are ideologically equivalent to the ISM
14. More violence & intimidation by anti-Semit "Pal supporters"
Zvi   (02.15.09)
15. No mention of "protest" in local paper
Will ,   Petah Tikvah, Israel   (02.15.09)
Looking in the local Chicago papers (Tribune and Sun Times) there was no mention of this "protest" event; although there was a review of the dance performance. The protest must have been a significant event only in the eyes of the protestors; not even meriting a note in the review of the event that happened on Feb 9, 2009. Why isn't anyone from the Jewish community in Chicago interviewed for this article? Why didn't they get any quotes from anyone who attended the performance and had to walk through the "protest". Alas, I no longer live in Chicago to be able to attend events like this... http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/weiss/1420039,CST-FTR-Dance09web.article http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/chi-0209-batsheva-ovnfeb09,0,332540.story
16. I too
Phyllis   (02.15.09)
am from a suburb of Chicago and these protesters were annoying and scoffed at. They protest against Israelis only. They do not take into consideration that 50 innocent people in Gaza have been murdered for not agreeing with Hamas. Killing is okay so long as it isn't done by Jews? ANd Jews did it in defense and any innocents killed were killed because Hamas used them hinking it would save their you know whats. World citizen, you are from outer space!!!
17. #8 Mark just the tip of the iceberg
Petra ,   USA   (02.15.09)
can you possibly imagine anyone willing to trade liberty, justice & equality, w/ being a muslim woman? I can't. I pity the females & babies. Animals have it easier...
18. # 16 phyllis, yea baby.
Petra ,   uSA   (02.15.09)
He doesn't get it & never will. Put simply, who wants to trade peaceful Jews for radical Muslims? Oy! There goes the neighborhood.
19. Ann Arbor welcomed Batsheva
I. Barr ,   Ann Arbor USA   (02.16.09)
In two appearances here in Ann Arbor Michigan there were 6 pro Palestinian supporters as well as two StandwithUS.com pro Israel supporters. The badges that they distributed were popular. The performances were almost sold out. It was a successful event.
20. frankie, What if Britain agreed to give Illinois...
James Hovland   (02.16.09)
What if Britain agreed to give Illinois to the Zionists so they could establish a "Jewish State" there? Would the citizens of Illinois have agree to the UN partitioning their land? What if they didn't agree, and the Zionists took it by force anyway? Would Chicago then be renamed to Tel Aviv? What if when the people resisted and were bombed by an advanced military, and labeled "terrorist" for fighting back? Shall I go on? Or, do you get the point yet?
21. #20 Yawn....Shall you go on? Please don't
(02.16.09)
Read a history book and get your facts straight. Stop repeating the same old lies.
22. to the # 20: Read the Bible and some history , shmendrik
Me ,   planet Earth   (02.16.09)
The Jews have lived in Israel (a.k.a. Palestine) for 3800 years. Jews were expelled by the Romans after 135 C.E., but kept returning... .Israel was restablished on historical Jewish and ...
23. relieved
Tal ,   International   (02.19.09)
i am so happy that i went to the english portion of the site to see some of the talkbacks. it becomes frustrating to hear the stupidy and incolence of some poeple aka #20 who disregard facts and create false images that dont portray the real issue. these protestors counter their own fight, fighitng for human rights yet they are subjective and one sided. i hope that as a community we remain clear minded, work towards peace and stear clear of such groups as they do nothing for the issue nor the people affected by it.
24. # 20 REMEMBER THE ALAMO?
Petra ,   USA   (02.21.09)
probably not as all you think of is Israel. GOOD! Watch Israel stomp their enemies to dust. You'd think the dumber than dirt Pals would have figured out 60 years ago that their 'squatting' in Israel was officially over. Even rats move when cats come to town. Move or die terrorists. Israel will have no part of an invented by Rome name of palestine to replace Israel. p.s. there is no "P" in arabic, can you find another name more appropriate like say, PHILISTINES? Trash eons old still battling w/o victory against G-ds chosen. Pity for you excellent for Israel. VIVA ISRAEL!!
25. # 29 Congrats! Here's the idiot of the day award.
petra ,   uSA   (02.21.09)
and it has your name on it. I believe the name is correctly spelled, "NUMB NUTZ". Why bother coming to this site? Sick? Need to be in the hospital? With A Jewish Dr.? How about you move BACK to Gaza.? Pal
