1. The world ignores Arab obligations
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.08.09)
And continually invents new ones for us. The world is wrong and has been wrong. But they will never admit it.
2. Cooper and Brackman are SOOO Boring....
Dovy ,   Toronto   (04.08.09)
Don't they EVER get tired of spending their entire lives telling the rest of us that the State of Israel NEVER does anything wrong? It's SOOO boring to read their incessant kvetching and constant criticism of those who know the Zionists are on the wrong side of justice and of history......It's time for them to retire to their fancy condos in foreclosure in Miami and leave the rest of us alone.
3. REAL PEACE !!!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (04.08.09)
Real roadblocks to peace Instead of blaming Bibi, condemn those who silenced Palestinian ‘Peace orchestra’ REAL PEACE WILL EVER NEVER COME UNTIL THE WILL OF JEHOVAH THE GOD OF ISRAEL IS FULLY DONE AND IMPLEMENTED. ALL THIS ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. MANMADE PEACE WILL NEVER HOLD. EITHER SUCH PEACE WILL BE CRUSHED OF JEHOVAH HIMSELF OR BY THE OTHER ONE. JEHOVAH AND HIS WILL IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE REAL WAY TO PEACE. Orao.

Western nations DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. They just DO NOT KNOW. Doesn't everyone already know that? Or do you think this is an exaggeration? It is NOT. Western media simply does not publish things like this EVER. NOT EVER. You can interview 1000 Americans at random, and none of them have ever heard of this. What they did hear about was Jenin, which was -instantly- splashed across EVERY newspaper and television station in America. There was wall-to-wall coverage of the "atrocities of the IDF." Now take a guess how much coverage was given to the expose that the entire thing was fabricated? One? No, not even one. Most westerners truly believe the IDF is responsible for unmitigated, state-sponsored mayhem, anytime it does anything. Americans are supremely ignorant about the inequalities here. Not one single major media in the US, covered the fact that Obama kneeled to the Saudi king. NOT ONE. Please stop being surprised at the lack of support for Israel abroad. There are extremely few who care because their only information comes from those who hate us. For every person who understands what "right of return" means to the existence of the state of Israel, there are -millions- of people who think we are hate-mongering racists for being opposed to it, that we are opposed for no other reason than hatred to "the victimized race of palestinians." That is the reality for the rest of the world, so don't be surprised how everyone else reacts to Jews who defend themselves.
5. 100% correct!!!
Shaul   (04.08.09)
It is such an obvious truth that there can be no harmony between human beings as long as every action gets politicized. Even among best friends, not mentioning enemies. Those who cannot understand this no-brainer must really have no brains. Unfortunately, many do not...
6. At least
Palestinian   (04.08.09)
I think it would have been a nice thing if the Holocaust survivors told the Palestinians children that they are sorry for what happend to Palestinians from 1882 till now. And for taking the Palestinians homes so they can live in them

11. Internationalist crybabies.
Brad ,   USA   (04.08.09)
Internationalist "demands" for the Netanyahu gov't. to show it is serious about making peace, need to include the arab terrorists doing the same. That means no rocket attacks, no mortar attacks, no blowing yourself up to kill innocents and send yourself to hell, etc. Israel does not do any of these things, but always recieves the worlds "outrage" when they defend themselves against them. Maybe if Israel just launched rockets and mortar shells into arab countries, for the hell of it, the "international community" would like them too. Oh, never mind.
12. Jenni Orchestra is th emodel to follow
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (04.08.09)
Hope to see more such acts of tolerance and "breaking the culture of hate" comming from the palestinian side,..
13. #6 I think that will only happen when...
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (04.08.09)
...Arabs admit their mistake of not taking the first partition plan, attacking the immigrants, leaving their homes willfully and under Arab orders, take responsibility for 60 years of terror against innocents, etc.
14. #2 The orchestra is silenced - but we still hear your bleats
(04.09.09)
15. #2 Take your own advice. The article 100% correct.
(04.09.09)
16. Yes, why dont we hear from the hypocrites?
Australian Guy   (04.09.09)
That's right. They're only interested in Israel bashing. This is a perfect example of ignorance and bloody-minded hypocrisy. Primitives. That is what we are dealing with here.
17. #2 yes,sometimes the truth is boring
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (04.09.09)
18. Tunnel vision from industry
True Zionist ,   Tel Aviv   (04.09.09)
Of course the closure of the orchestra is to be declaimed. But not for the reasons these two purveyors of the self-serving American holocaust industry suggest. There a number of reasons why this happened, not least that the Shoah has been devalued by an industry that uses Shoah and all that is related to it as a stick to wave for the Israel Right or Wrong crowd. That's the crowd that would consign us to another Massada, the crowd that believes that the Palestinians are akin to the Nazis and want only one thing for us. This crowd does not believe is a 2 state solution or peace negotiations. Palestinians know little about the Shoah and what they do know they associate with an occupying power that daily demeans them and denies them. Of course those who want the orchestra to continue need to be supported but the way to do that is not to wave the Shoah stick. When we reciprocate the sympathy for our pain of the Shoah, reflected in the orchestra initiative, with that of the Palestinians under our occupation, then we would have a mutual basis for not just their youth orchestra playing at a Shoah commemoration, but ours playing at a similar Palestinian event. How about for the Goldstein massacre as a start?
