1. Interesting.
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (10.04.09)

Jews have always been top innovators, inventors and contributors to world science, arts, and technology. Under Islam, the only contribution one is encouraged to make is a glorified suicide bombing, genocide of the non-Mulsims, cultural rape of the West and terror attacks and wars against non-Muslims and of course among themselves. There is no amount of Muslim propaganda, disinformation and coward bravado to hide these simple facts: Jews = progress and life Muslims = genocide and death My choice is to support the Jews in their struggle for existence and expose the Muslim megalomaniacal and genocidal dreams to world domination.
4. Yakir Aharonov
Inyaki ,   Bilbao, Basque   (10.04.09)
He deserves the prize already many years ago. His contribution to understand Quantum Mechanics is outstanding. One thing which might bother him is that the co-autour of his most famous paper David Bohm has passed away, he would also probably deserve the prize.. Let us all wish him a Good Prize!
5. To 2 , yes there are
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.04.09)
Out of 1.4 billion muslims you had TWO Nobel prizes in science . Also one literature and some "peace" nobels . Out of 14 million Jews , you had , at least , 157 Nobel prizes . A "little" difference i think [ google arab or muslim nobels to have their names ]
6. disallow members from universities unions who boycott israel

7. #2 ,#3 and #5 why does it always have to be about arabs?
Yael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.04.09)
we should be proud of our scientists but that doesn't mean you have to start bashing arabs!! maybe you should use your time to study what this scientist have discovered instead of spreading your racist poison on the net

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.05.09)
Of course that we are proud of our , at least 157 , Jewish Nobel prizes . We , Jews , have contributed MORE than any other people to Humanity , in every field . Telling this is not racist i think , it's only telling people what we have achieved . And as a Spanish journalist wrote , the Shoah was also a big loss for Humanity . How many would-be Einstein's were'nt murdered she asked

Koppers ,   Manchester   (10.05.09)
Yael, well said. What purpose is served bashing Arabs and Islam - none. Hatred is such a negative emotion.
