1. What good is morality?
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (03.06.09)
What good is morality for,when your life is in danger?
2. This man is an enemy of his own people
Esteban ,   Argentina Suiza   (03.06.09)
In other words, he is a friend of Hamas. (an excellent propaganda tool for terrorists). I personally boycott his film, hope others will do the same. Thank GOD he did not win the Oscar.
3. "Waltz with Bashir"
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (03.06.09)
Despite all the admiration I think it's a sh*tty movie. It is too ego-centric. It's not a movie about a war, but rather only about a single individual.
4. Israel is the only morality found in the middle east.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.06.09)
5. #1 The moment lose our morals we cease to be human
Aharon ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
What sets us apart from a beast which simply acts on his inteincts is our Morality - the moment we've lost that we're no longer human
6. #5 when you are dead,are you still human?
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (03.06.09)
7. Yoni Goodman is a bad man
DVIR ,   LA USA   (03.06.09)
I walked out of Waltz with Bashir when I saw Goodman was helping to put Israel in a bad light. The world already hates Israel. Israel does not need Mr. Goodman's help to do this. Anyone seeing Waltz hopefully did their own research and discovered the movie is far from factual. Now, Israel FINALLY said, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH after over 8800 missiles were fired from Gaza into Israel in 8 years. Israel took every precaution to not injure civilians. What exactly does Mr. BAD MAN propose they do? Better yet, where is the gag to shut this enemy of his own country up?! Dvir
8. #1 what good is our life if we are not moral???
Sam ,   ME   (03.06.09)
9. Ridiculous-Kfar Cana NOT a tragedy but a discredited PR ploy
Shoshanah ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.06.09)
When will Israel's like this intolerant opportunist stop whining about what it takes to protect ourselves while supporting our enemies WHO VOTED FOR LEADERSHIP SWORN TO ANNIHILATE US ALL? How dare he talk about Israeli morality when Hamas/Fatah etc. actually TRY to kill our civilians while hiding behind children and women's skirts and firing from schools and hospitals to achieve their goals. We cannot worry about world opinion over the protection of our citizens. This "artists" is intolerant of Israel fighting to WIN and his "morals" are at the expense of his friends and family. He has no workable solution. Just complaints and whining and it makes me sick what a loser this guy is.
10. Wow!!! Hold your horses bro!!???
Sam ,   ME   (03.06.09)
Why are you in LA then ?
11. 4 Ds
Gábor Fränkl (30)   (03.06.09)
1. Disgraceful; 2. Disturbing; 3. Deceptive; 4. Disgusting; Probably he is blinded by his radical far-left evil Marxist ideology. I will also boycott this Jewish self-hater's film and refuse to see it in a movie-theater in Hungary. Yeah and one more thing: I am also glad that this Israeli film lost at the Oscar! Caesar? That pathetic wothless s***?
12. Once these "artists" open their mouth
GZ ,   USA   (03.06.09)
their shocking and embarrassing stupidity becomes strikingly apparent. So, Pallywood's Kfar Kana happens and Goodman "understood that we were creating our tragedies for ourselves." For eight years Israel has tolerated indiscriminate missile attacks from Gaza, but to our artist geniuses "The government and the Knesset educate the public to happily rush into war." These kind of pearls reveal how the mind of our geniuses work. And to think that they are probably supported by some government funds... I have one thing to say to you, Messrs Goodman, Folman and the like, you are truly pathetic.
13. Using a great talent to destroy his own people
m   (03.06.09)
14. "This man is an enemy of his own people"
cissa ,   Stavanger, Norway   (03.06.09)
Have I heard this kind of retoric from both recent and less resent dictatorships , and their brainwashed citisents ?!. Poor Israel people. You will in the end sink into the "dead sea", along with all your marvelous weapons with this kind of rhetoric. I admire peopla that CAN see immorality, and probably have to pay for it from their own. What have you learned from history, a lot and absolutely nothing !
15. The big question is...
Raoul ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
what does Yoni Goodman propose? Who really wants war - our response was reluctant and only after tremendous time and deliberation.
16. goodman has no morality to make money
dovdevan ,   paris,france   (03.07.09)
he is ready to sell the world his movie about the israeli "crimes" knowing that in Europe the trend is to demonize israel as a nazi ! it's very easy to get an oscar or a price on the back of the israelis !
17. He knows he is wrong and anticipates talkbacks
(03.07.09)
He should have thought of that before he made the movie. The world doesn't view this as "Israeli morality". He is stupid or naive or both. The world doesn't have to and won't protect Israel. Israel needs to do that. The world won't bail Israel out if it opens the borders and allows Hamas to build Hezbollah-like bunkers with concrete lining and air conditioning. This would result in less security and more Israeli deaths. What is Goodman's solution. The Peace Now & Israeli left are useful idiots full of criticism but short on answers.
18. Liebermanization is the only chance Israel has of surviving
Nemesis   (03.07.09)
19. On second thought, I'm glad they didn't win the Oscar.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.07.09)
Even though I find nothing anti-Israeli in Waltz with Bashir, the last thing we need is for this leftist w..ker to pride himself on an Oscar, while lecturing to us about how bad we are... An Oscar would have given him too much legitmacy and credit, which he has now proven he does not deserve.
20. Israel's worse enemy is Israel
Zion   (03.08.09)
21. #19 I agree
Stan ,   USA   (03.08.09)
When I saw waltz with bashir, my impression was not that it was anti Israel. On the contrary, I felt that it gave Israelis an exposure as a people who not only feel horrible about the casualties of war, as opposed to our enemies (or temporary allies in this case), but that we want to (and do) prevent needless killing. A human perspective to combat the negative views is a good thing.
22. WALTZ WITH BASHIR/GAZA STYLE
HENRYK ,   RAMAT GAN /ISRAEL   (03.08.09)
YONI GOODMAN ARE YOU THE REINCARNATION OF KURT GERON AND HIS MOVIE ABOUT THERESIENSTADT?
