Anna   (03.03.09)
boycott yes, but also boycott Turkey, Spain and England.
2. All of the world thinks you are Racist !!
Sam ,   ME   (03.03.09)
But you are convienced yet someone needs a reality check
3. Boycott it! Durban is a set up.
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (03.03.09)
Dont go to Turkey either. I dont know what they love about going there.
4. Err, Sam #2, seems who needs a reality check here is you.
Mongo ,   Paris   (03.03.09)
Learn to spell in English before appearing here with your delusional Arab propaganda.
5. KNOW THATS ??
hakim ,   usa   (03.03.09)
ANTI-SEMETIC!!!!!!
6. Why boycot?
Chaim Lehman ,   Strasbourg, France   (03.03.09)
It is a statement of weakness to boycott this conference. The US, Britain, Holland and Israel itself could also come and present the Israeli view point. Why a boycot? This is a weak stance, making others believe Israel or even the Jewish World Congress are "racist" indeed and worthy of condemnation. If the prime minister of Malaysia can attack Jews and Israel as authors of "all evil", Israel should also present its view here. Silence means loosing! Boycot shows weakness. Please attend!
7. BOYCOTTING doesnt work- Dialogue does.
US   (03.03.09)
USA nor any nation should boycott. And I heard US may still go, but dialogue and communication is the way to go. Not pouting in the corner like some whiny baby. Its stupid to do that.
8. jews hate arabs &arabs hate jews, its sorry state of affairs
but not racist   (03.03.09)
9. #6 why !
Amihai   (03.03.09)
The reason is really simple. Because any participation of Israel gives credibility to Durban 2. Fewer country in durban, fewer credibility, better for Israel (and by the way, the world). Hatred is NOT rational. There is no way to discuss then.
10. REAL BOYCOTTS GET THEIR STRENGTH FROM DURBAN
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (03.04.09)
WILL THE PRE-PROGRAMED DURBAN ANTI-ISRAEL AGENDA. EVENTS ALLOW ANY WESTERN OR MODERATE COUNTRIES TO BE HEARD.? DURBAN IS THE MOTHER OF ALL BOYCOTTS...... THE ANTI-ISRAEL RESOLUTIONS, THE ACCUSATIONS, THE FALSE CONCLUSIONS RESONATE AND INSPIRE BOYCOTTERS AROUND THE WORLD TO TRY TO PERPETUATE MORE BOYCOTTS.... I BELIEVE THE DURBAN EVENT WILL BE EXTREMELY WEAKENED IF THE WESTERN COUNTIES DO NOT ATTEND......... THE PRESENCE OF WESTERN OR MODERATE COUNTRIES IS THE "REAL BIG PRIZE" THAT DURBAN CRAVES FOR. NOT ATTENDING DURBAN, MEANS NOT AGREEING WITH DURBAN'S RASCIST ANTI-ISRAEL AGENDA AND WILL GIVE A LOUD AND CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE DURBAN RASCISTS.
11. Typical
Wanda ,   Montreal   (03.04.09)
Instead of debate, communication, discussion, dialect etc. to debunk possibly flawed views on Israel, or at the very least promote empathy for the actions that people are criticizing, these leaders seem to insist on perpetuating a delusion of proscription. This is: if you do not support our illusions of ourselves, you are a threat to them and thus a jew-hater. This response is puerile and will lead to such resorts of character assassination, name-calling and modes of propagation of the Big Lie. NB. this assertion is made with the idea that ALL have illusions about themselves, just different manners of dealing with them.
12. #11 wanda ......it is YOU who is "TYPICAL" !
avrum ,   canada   (03.04.09)
WANDA......... IS TYPICAL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMENTS, VIEWS, AND PHILLOSOPHIES DEVOID OF FACTS AND KNOWLEDGE........ JUST LOTS OF HOT AIR ! A PERSON WITH LITTLE OR NO KNOWLEDGE ON THE SUBJECT ON WHAT SHE WRITES ABOUT SHOWS ........ THE TYPICAL "ARROGANCE OF SIMPLICITY" OF THE UNINFORMED PREACHING SIMPLISTIC IDEAS TO THOSE SHE ACCUSES OF BEING ...... "TYPICAL". WANDAS SIMPLISTIC ASSERTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE PATENTLY FALSE, AND ACTUALLY ARE CONTRARY TO THE REAL FACTS ALREADY EVIDENT.......BUT NOT TO THE "TYPICAL" WANDA TYPES. WE ARRIVED AT "DURBAN" PRECISELY BECAUSE THE DIALOGUE OF PEACE, EQUALITY, TOLERANCE AND MODERATION WERE NOT ON THE DURBANITES AGENDA.
13. Avrum
Wanda ,   Montreal   (03.04.09)
You offer no proof for your attributions of me. But ironically offer proof for mine of you. Thank you.
14. #13 Don't let the door hit you on your way out!!!
(03.04.09)
15. WANDA......TOLD YOU...JUST HOT AIR
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (03.05.09)
TO #13 DIALOGUE WITH THIS WANDA TYPE ? YOU CAN SEE THE FUTILITY AND MEANINGLESS IN HER TONE AND LANGUAGE..... SHE STILL HAS NOT SAID ANYTHING MEANINGFUL........ WE'LL FLUSH HER TRUE NATURE OUT YET.......SHE CAN'T HOLD IT IN INDEFINITELY. AND TO #14....YOU DID NOT READ THE ENTIRE COMMENTS, AND YOU ARE JUST REACTING LIKE "WANDA-WOMAN". THE DOOR CAN'T HIT YOU IF YOUR NOT THERE......EITHER WAY, THIS DOOR SWINGS BOTH WAYS.
16. Boycott Durban
caltrop ,   japan   (03.13.09)
The mere mention of a boycott concerning such a serious issue and to run from this topic of discussion shows that you,your administration,government officials and the like are a bunch of cowards,bigots liars and ass-holes that want to further promote and deny the fact the problem still exist and abait it as well!
