31. GET UP STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS
Adam Ben Gan ,   Cincinnati USA   (10.17.09)
COME NOW AMERICAN JEWS, MAKE MASS ALIYAH, LET"S SEE HOW THE USA DOES WITHOUT US. AMERICAN JEWS REJECT FALSE COMFORT AND PROMISE LET'S PLEASE RETURN HOME. WE ARE BEING CALLED.
32. Donot lie to yourself-Israel cannot escape from War Crimes
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (10.17.09)
Donot lie to yourself-Israel cannot escape from War Crimes Tribunal Those who commited war crimes will eventually be tried and sentenced to what they deserved
33. Sigh, what naive suckers who show academic weakness
JPS ,   Efrat   (10.17.09)
I'm always shocked that modern university students are so naive and downright stupid. I doubt a single one of them knows that the Goldstone report concluded that the Palestinians committed war crimes. Not only during Cast Lead, but obvious war crimes for the past decades, both Fatah and Hamas. Here, read for yourselves: "From the facts available, the Mission finds that the rocket and mortars attacks, launched by Palestinian armed groups in Gaza, have caused terror in the affected communities of southern Israel and in Israel as a whole. Furthermore, it is the Mission's view that the mortars and rockets are uncontrolled and uncontrollable, respectively. This indicates the commission of an indiscriminate attack on the civilian population of southern Israel, a war crime, and may amount to crimes against humanity." Indiscriminate attacks against civilians? That would include bus bombings, other suicide bombings, driveby shootings, etc etc etc. This means Goldstone concluded that the Palestinians have been committing war crimes for years. Time to put all the Palestinian leaders on trial.
34. Spaniards #24
Marcelo ,   Frankfurt / Eurabia   (10.17.09)
typically spanian, when you say "you are criminals" are you refering to all israelis, jews or some of them? you sent soldiers to iraq, so you are all criminals. You sent soldiers to kosovo and killed civileans, so you all are criminals. Where were you during the rocketing of israeli schools? oh, I see, that is OK for you, as long as jews get killed or rocketed....you are indeed all hypocrits...the trueth is, ETA should start rocketing you all....
35. I think a higher % poll for Israel than for BHO thesedays
(10.17.09)
36. They'd applaud Haman-dinejad
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (10.17.09)
37. The Jews Are Alone In This World
Sam ,   Ashdod Israel   (10.17.09)
This video and article are not surprising. This has been decreed in heaven a long time ago that Israel and the Jews are alone in this world and that all the other nations will torment and criticize us. Hashem has told us that if we show weakness they will walk all over us. I think now we should try to make more sense of this and pack the same hall with right wing jews from southern Israel and bring the head of Hamas into the hall for a speech and to answer questions about the rocket attacks.
38. TRUE MARCO,ELSE I THOUGHT
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.17.09)
This type of reception was only confined for Presidend Mahmoud Ahmedinejad when visiting Colombia University!!! Oops!!! How wrongly I guesssed.
39. there was also supporters of israel
(10.17.09)
4 OF THEM i will be laughing all night
40. @ 21 Jason White
Efi ,   DC   (10.17.09)
I agree, Obama is a moozlim who is against Israel and should be expedited to saudi. USA is a slow-sinking ship. The future doesnt look good for it.
41. #3 like all leftists believe their own BS ...
GZLives   (10.17.09)
#3 .. as long as we all have to take our shoes off at airports, watch miscreants hold Mumbai hostage for almost a week randomly killing and marauding, suicide bombing and car bombings and whining Muslims complaining about everything under the sun, do you really believe that anyone aside from your leftist friends don't see where the problem is? Pleeease
42. crazy !
haim ,   ariel   (10.17.09)
former israelis pm was insulting in the USA ! next step?
43. Oh Marco you really need a rest
GZLives   (10.17.09)
I know you believe you have Israel now just where you want them ... almost at the edge of collapse, but all that's happened is you've been drinking your own Kool aide .. Give it a rest. You're sounding hysterical bordering on ridiculous.
44. Jewish terror/occupation in Palestine scars humanity’s face
Ramond ,   USA   (10.17.09)
More and more people and countries (not under control of Jewish lobbyists) are coming out against this cruel, inhumane Jewish occupation and terror against Palestinians.
45. These are university students
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, USA   (10.17.09)
They are in one of America's most prestigious universities. They are trained to THINK. They see through Israeli propaganda and they gave their honest response. What's a little "rudeness" (honesty) compared to 900+ murders of civilians?
46. Jake, GOOD!
Noor ,   Palestine   (10.17.09)
47. Note one thing Alex of #3;
leo ,   usa   (10.17.09)
When there is anti-Israeli protest only first and second generation Arabs and some Muslims attend, when their is pro-Israeli protest not only Jews but great many other Americans attend. At least it is so in Chicago. Oh, and do not worry, once this youthful exuberance passes and your Arab propaganda lies will ware off, reality will sink in and all those lost soles will come back home.
48. TYphoon #32
jb ,   canada   (10.17.09)
Maybe we should drag out all those Turkish murderers of Armenians! War criminals..you Turks know all about that. After you murdering bigot!
49. Jerrold COHEN
jb ,   canada   (10.17.09)
Yor dreaming Jerry! American universities are full of idiots who can't think students and profs, awful miscreants who are illiterate! Some prestige!! They swallow Hamas BS hook line and sinker, are unable to critically evaluate any evidence about anything and expect at least a B+ just for showing up at class What a poor fool you are. Thanks to the likes of you and them, America is doomed. You make me want to puke, you little capo!
50. at least olmert,did not say there is no gays in israel
mahmoud ,   usa   (10.17.09)
51. Eating the stinking fish
(10.17.09)
We all remember how Olmert gloated over the destruction of Gush Katif and mocked the refugees he himself helped make. He thought by destroying the Jews' lives he would gain credit. Now he is mocked and called a war criminal. Couldn't happen to a more deserving man.
52. IF I WERE ON STAGE IN OLMERT'S
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.17.09)
Place and was being rudely shouted at ,jeered and heckled,I would simply turn around,pull my trousers and pants down ,bend over and show them my hairy @$$..
53. MARCO : BASTA
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.17.09)
Marco give it a rest,stop proving yourself to be a jerk.
54. Noor #16 has "outed" himself:
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (10.17.09)
For the reader's information, "Noor" does not reside in the mythical country of "Palestine". He lives in the United Kingdom and is either a graduate student in the social sciences at an English university or possibly a student of law. He is "safe" from all the problems of the mideast but likes to cloak himself as a "brother" to all socalled "Palestinians". Even his name, "Noor", is a pseudonym. He is like all the high IQ "revolutionaries" who see themselves as romantic creatures but in his case, like most big talkers, he is more aptly referred to as an "armchair revolutionary", always ready with words but inevitably at a safe distance from the fighting. In other words, he is cowardly and his submissions should be viewed in that light.
55. Chicago University "students"
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (10.17.09)
I doubt any of these protesters is a real student, at least not anyone brilliant. Brilliant students devote their time to studying instead of making silly political gestures. So a few Palestinian terror sympathizers posing as students is nothing to get worked up about. Still, I find it peculiar that those leftist activists who are the vanguard of freedom of speech - only believe in it when it suits their purposes, otherwise they silence people. (ynet - last comment was sent incomplete by mistake, ignore it)
56. #39 "There was also supporters"? LOL!
Jake   (10.17.09)
The joke is on you.
57. #45 Jerrold, stop spinning. Your might get dizzy.
Jake   (10.17.09)
58. To 16 Like Tibi and Bishara?
The Dude   (10.17.09)
You know I recommend you read this paper "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments" by Justin Kruger and David Dunning It will help you realize that yelling uncontrollably, blocking off all other arguments, and making hysterical and purposely provoking comments, are generally not signs of intelligence. They general signal a complete lack of skill, in your case a complete lack of awareness of history (or in certain cases to manipulate events into fairy tales). The problem as cited in the paper is that this in effect blinds you to your incompetence. Such as how you state that IDF troops bare all responsibility and have violated international law for the civilian casualties in the operation "Cast Lead". However, you then refuse to even do a simple glance at international law, the fourth geneva conventions, and realize that articles 28 and 29 clearly state that Hamas bares the responsibility. The fact is that unlike most Israeli's who take a moment to consider the situation, your reaction knee-jerk immediate. The facts shouldn't get in the way of the story. Like even here you declare all members of the Knesset are Facists, regardless of the fact that just the two I have listed above completely support your position and are in many ways even more extreme (if that is even possible) than you in their anti-Israel positions. The fact is that one thing that truly bothers me the most of all the Pro-Palestinian supporters is that there is no self-reflection, they are all mindless in being hate driven, and believe in a providential manner that they are right. It's almost like it's own religion. I guess the best way to explain Marco's, your position, and the rest of the mindless followers is the quote from Darwin cited in the publication. "ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowl- edge" So please evolve a bit....
59. it is over
palestinian american ,   the world   (10.17.09)
The last Israeli official to be invited to any US university ..For the next 20 years .. there wont be israel after 20 years . if this reaction is over Gaza just Imagine what would happen if you do a foolish thing against Iran . the Torat said ..An eye for an eye ..Not an eye for a whole country like Lebanon . last chance is to vote that lunatic out and accept 1967 line and join the gathering of respected nations .
60. Blame Obama
Morris the Jew ,   USA   (10.17.09)
Chicago is Obama's home turf. These anti-Semitic children are his spawn.
