1. What a wonderful achievement. Kol Ha Kavod to Ada+WI+Israel
Alan ,   SA   (10.07.09)
We are VERY proud of her
2. nobel prize
marcia lewis ,   miami fl. usa   (10.07.09)
hooray for Israel. i am so proud. but of course Jewish brilliance is not new news.
3. Damn right: We are the smartest people in the world
Al   (10.07.09)
Now if we only learned how to run a country.
4. Time for the Palestinian hate lobby to boycott her
JPS ,   Efrat   (10.07.09)
How many Nobel prizes will Palestinian scientists win? Are there any Palestinian scientists at all? (rhetorical question, I know that there are, but we never hear about them because the Pals are too busy throwing rockets and molotov cocktails) Instead of improving Palestinian education and raising the bar for Palestinian academia, the world's elite ninkompoops are more concerned with banning all contacts with great scientists like Yonath. When the Palestinians empty their hearts of hate and stop their ugly propaganda campaign, then maybe they'll have time for academic excellence. Their "friends" are simply helping dig the pit of Palestinian despair even deeper. Right now, it's not even on their agenda.
5. #4 Don't you remember Arafat's prize?
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (10.07.09)

8. #7 Palestinian Dove
Mickey ,   Sydney, Australia   (10.07.09)
Now I understand why you guys will never reach any academic excellence. you're so proud of rich Saudis that you are prepared to remain ignorant and uneducated.
9. @7 a third, not a quarter!
S.   (10.07.09)
10. I am not at all proud of saudi but you like money
palestine dove ,   afula israel/palesti   (10.07.09)
I am just drawing comparison between you and the saudi iam living under occupation for 60 some years and you taunt me with smartness
11.  Tremendous
Roberta ,   US   (10.07.09)
A world wide tribute of tremendous honor to her, the Weizmann Institute and Israel and for the continuing encouragement of research & develoopment, and the sciences and tech achievements in endeavors.
12. "Pali" Dove
Slice ,   US   (10.07.09)
Funny name, to bad it is a contrdiction in terms. Funny how you spend so much time on Israeli web sites, I have seen your unfounded, hateful and ignorate rants on several talkbacks. It is a shame you never have anything worthwhile to say. Even when an artical like this that praises the hard work done by many people for ALL of mankind(even you) by scientists for the pure wishes to extend mankinds understanding of the world around us, you try and twist it into the "jews only want money" misconception. Did you even read the artical, she really didn't even care if she got the Nobel, let alone the money she received from it. As long as you continue to blame everyone else for your problems, how can you ever hope to be at peace, even with yourselves.
13. israeli dove wins
debbie ,   israel   (10.07.09)
TO PALI DOVE, #7 You people need to stop making excuses for yourself, and stop blaming the "Occupation" for all your problems. You were given many many chances to stop terrorism and to grow, and flourish, and you wasted them all, killing and murdering instead. The Jews lived for thousands of years under governments who oppressed them horribly and forbid them to study at university or to hold any decent jobs. In spite of all of the persecution, educating their children remained the highest goal. The Jews flourished and taught their children and are among the top inventors and scientists in the world. Stop making excuses for yourselves, and stop hating the world.
14. She brought lots of honor
Ari   (10.07.09)
To israel especially to our universities research centers. As an israeli student to chemistry I am very proud and excited. congratulations!!!!!!
15. Well Said #4
Yaron ,   USA   (10.07.09)
Am Yisrael Chai
16. God prevent me from inventing
palestine dove ,   afula israel/palesti   (10.07.09)
I am chemist too but icannot work on "najasat"like white phosphor and depleted U so i will never have chance in Nobel Its for Nobel people after all
17. #16, I am sure you are in the same league....
Danny   (10.07.09)
and her work in antibiotics but next you are sick you can demand not to be treated... wouldn't want you supporting apartheid Israel.
18. The enemies will never defeat the Jewish mind
frank ,   usa   (10.07.09)
19. Mazal Tov
G-d bless Israel   (10.07.09)
20. #5 Mati - Actually it was for AIDS research
meir elazar   (10.07.09)
Arafat made enormous contributions in the specialty area of homosexual pedophilia
21. Paldove-Do other Arabs think Ribosome function=oil change?
Alan ,   SA   (10.07.09)
I hope all Arabs can read how this guy, Pal Dove equates elegant Molecular level studies of Ribosome Function to oil change by Abdul at the garage They would then understand the depth of the problematic mindset of Palestinians-even the dove ones.
22. doves and nobel prizes
Ilana   (10.07.09)
First, doves are actually an extremely aggressive bird in reality. Second, money is so not the issue here that I don't know whether to shake my head in wonderment that you even thought in that direction first and foremost or to laugh it off to foolishness of the fools. Hopefully it will help life and mankind and those who are sick. Very proud of another Israeli accomplishment, and proud of all mankind's positive accomplishments.
23. #10 No excuse for your ignorance
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.07.09)
60 years of making excuses for yourselves and being jealous of Israel. Ada Yonath is a great example of what women can achieve in the ME. Your occupation is a self-imposed, counter-productive excuse for being a lazy freeloader.
24. to the fakestinian dove from 16 #
ilan ,   japan   (10.07.09)
what god?? the moon god? islam and the kaaba where a pagan pagan ritual sites ! ... and it's kinda funny to me that the Quran dosent mention the fakestinians even once ! ! ! but the israelis many times ! "And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd'.". -Qur'an,sura 17:104 - -Qur'an, Sura 5:21- -Qu'ran, Sura 17:104- if you are a true muslim you got to be a zionist!
25. to the fakestinian from 16 #
ilan ,   tokyo   (10.07.09)
"Palaestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata" - a detailed geographical survey of Palestine in 1696 written in Latin by Adriaan Reland published by Willem Broedelet, Utrecht, in 1714. Residents of the country mainly concentrated in cities: Jerusalem, Acre, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberias and Gaza. In most cities, the majority of residents are Christians, Jews and others, very few Muslims who generally are Bedouin, seasonal workers who came to serve as Seasonal workers in agriculture or building. v v Nablus: 120 muslims, 70 Samaritans Nazareth: 700 people - all Christians Umm al-Fahm: 50 people-10 families, ALL Christian Gaza: 550 people- 300 Jews,250 Christian(Jews engaged in agriculture ,Christians deal with the trading and transporting the products) Tiberias:  300 residents, all Jews. Safed: about 200 inhabitants, all Jews Jerusalem :5000 people,most of them (3,500) Jews,the rest - Christian (1000) Muslim (500)
26. To Jihadist Palicamel from Afula
zeroing ,   Germany   (10.07.09)
This Pali from Afula is really, really very backward person. The way he develops his logics is beyond Chutzpah. He appears to be very, very strange indeed. I wonder how dark his soul really is, to have this type of mindset! His hate is beyond imagination, the product of Arab educational and cultural systems. I am quite sure, at the end these people are going to pay a very heavy price for this, when the world will become aware of their false claims against the Jews. I am sure, the time will come and the world will let them fall like hot potatoes.
27. # 16 "Pali" Dove
Slice ,   US   (10.07.09)
Again you miss the entire point of this article and again you cry that it is everyone else’s fault for you being a worthless human being. I also doubt you are any kind of scientist, let alone a chemist. I can tell by the way you write and express yourself that you are neither. Maybe if your leaders had accepted peace with Israel, instead of war, then maybe you might of had the chance to be a scientist. So if you want to blame anyone, blame yourself and those you follow.
28. Arab gave you numbers and letters
palestine dove ,   afula israel/palesti   (10.07.09)
The first to give sci & math a boost when arab are free no body stand a chance to be equated with you know deep down we are smarter than you but not as evil thats why you win and we lose for now
29. HAMAS candidate comes in dead last
meir elazar   (10.07.09)
The leading HAMAS scientist, Ohev L. Hitpotzetz, came in dead last in the competition. His specialty was sub-atomic human DNA disintegration in conjunction C4, Nitrimines, etc. He has conducted extensive research with his assistant Mit Abedet at the Gaza Bet Olmin Research centre. Their research was funded with the generousity of Iran and supported by local mosques, schools, and hospitals. The hospitals provided the command centre for the research. Training was done at the various schools and the deployment & storage was executed at the various mosques under strict Islamic supervision of the imams. Not only did they attain explosive results of their massive research but they attempted to explore the adulteration of extra virgin entities in post existentialism. With such unique scientific exploration in unique and highly specialized scientific area we can only conclude that the omission of the due rewards to Dr. Hitpotzetz is part of the enormous Zionist plot of which HAMAS has created numerous Zionist plots in the various Bet Kvarot of Israel.
30. Since Carter received the price, and worse, Arafat, its
Avner ,   Efrat, Israel   (10.07.09)
value has diminished in my eyes a lot. Yet, I am very happy for Ada whose life as a child in Jerusalem was not easy and it was not much better having moved to Tel-Aviv at a young age. And still, despite all odds, she managed to achieve something that no one else has and has contributed this knowledge to the world with which mostly the medical and pharmaceutical professions will use for the betterment of all. Congratulations Ada!
