31. A Paradigm Shift Has Occurred
World Citizen ,   the world   (03.01.10)
It has been a long time coming. Finally the civilised world has seen through Israeli propaganda. We know what you did and continue to do. We have seen what your soldiers can do to unarmed women, children, and old men. Nothing your ambassadors, paid internet hacks, and slick public relations con men can do will change the facts of your war crimes. Face up to what you did.
32. Spainish should be the second last to criticize
Marty ,   Toronto Canada   (03.01.10)
Note to the Spanish - remember the old saying "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" I seem to remember studying Cortes decimating the Aztecs, Pizzaro decimating the Incas and the Spanish Inquisition. 'Nuff said.
33. Europeans Please Stop Killing Innocent Afghans/Iraqis
OBJECTIVE OBSERVER ,   NY, USA   (03.01.10)
I propose we write a letter to Europeans asking to please stop killing innocent Afghan and Iraqi children. Please rewind your history of thousands of years of black slavery, the inquisition, religious wars, imperialism, and the Holocaust. Oh, Spain, for you specifically, maybe you should apologize to the natives of Latin America that you RAPED and PILLAGED and MURDERED and GENOCIDED with no remorse. A REAL APOLOGY!!!!!
34. just wrote to Spanish embassy here
Marina Oliver ,   Tel Aviv   (03.01.10)
and told them I am boycotting their goos and country all together. I will NEVER travel to Spain - the fascist state - EVER AGAIN. That's a promise!
35. #8 good for you, I just booked it
Felix   (03.01.10)
36. The other sick man of Europe...
Maurice ,   Clichy, France   (03.01.10)
with Ireland. 20% unemployed, and a bankrupt economy, like Ireland. And guess what ? They LOVE the Arabs... Coincidence ?...
37. they got rid of fascism long ago, did you?
Druze soldier   (03.01.10)
and that exactly is the point . do like them get rid of urs, instead of trying to pathetically give legitimacy to it
38. Spain and Ireland
James ,   Herzeliya   (03.01.10)
Both Spain and Ireland are in dire financial trouble. Look at what's happening in Greece! Shouldn't both these governments pay more attention to their economies which is in shambles instead of attacking the jews for everything? I guess not.
39. So...
Daniel ,   UK   (03.01.10)
Asking Israelis to stop killing Palestinians, to stop besieging Gaza and stop stealing their water is anti-semitism? You know the term 'anti-semitism' in the West has become practically meaningless thanks to Israel and it's so-called 'supporters' throwing it around so promiscuously.
40. what a joke
anti-zionist, man ,   london   (03.01.10)
("the new anti-Semitism," which in essence culminates in anti-Zionist and anti-Israel attitudes) for all those that need a lesson or two about racism, here it is. Anti-semitism is racism. it is to view, treat or act in a way towards a specific people/s which may be considered detrimental, harmful or otherwise hurtful to the honour and dignity of that person/s and cause humiliation. In this case, it is to be prejudice and discriminatory towards the semites (i.e. to be anti-semitic). Arabs and Jews are the closest living being to semites, with the majority of Arabs being of semitic origins, and roughly a third of Jews. The Jewish religion, as the christian and muslims religions, is a semitic religion. Israel is a country. Zionism is a political and ideological vision topped off with religious fundamentalism. To be anti-Israel is legitimate. If you dislike Israel, as a country as an institution as a political body - that is absolutely fine. It is like being anti-US, or anti-Iran etc. No-one calls being anti-Syria equals anti-Islam simply because Syria is a majority muslim country (with a secular administration - just like Israel). A problem may arise if you are anti-ISRAELI, just like it wouldn't be moral to be anti-IRANIAN, or anti-CANADIAN. this is because you are not levelling criticism at a political system, structure or ideology, but rather at a people. Zionism is the same. If most communists are atheists, being against communism doesn't make you an atheist-hater. I believe it is every human's moral duty to oppose Zionism because this ideology's very basic beliefs are actually racist, elitist, exclusivist, fanatic, exclusionist and so on. I can come up with an ideology called Whackeysm. This calls for a certain type of people - lets say phoenicians - to migrate to YOUR neighbourhood, expell you and prop up a state just because at a certain point in ancient history, they had breifly colonised the land there. Even if all the pretexes, convenience and current contexts were to support such an ideology - would you?
41. #8 VIVA ESAPANA !
Nour ,   Palestine   (03.01.10)
Do you think the Spanish tourism industry, which ranks 3rd or 4th in the world, depends on your charitable visit to thrive? Get real. You can skip Spain, but you will never be able to continue your filthy occupation and subjugation of an entire people. Apartheid must be dismantled!!
42. #11 Don't YOU remember Lebanon '06
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.01.10)
These Israeli children came out of a bomb shelter in Northern Israel after hiding for days from bombs intended to kill them. And Peter, what did they write? Can you translate Hebrew? Please do. These Spanish children are not learning about terror attacks against Israel. These letters are what you get when they're fed one-sided biased information. Shame on their teachers!
43. #11 Which is worse?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (03.01.10)
Hamas or Hezbollah?
44. Israelis should boycott the whole world.
Cynic #2   (03.01.10)
Do not buy anything from the rest of the world, do not sell them your advanced technology or your lovely avocados. I am sure the world will suffer greatly and will be brought down to its knees. It will come back begging Israelis because the world needs YOU.
45. the world is "platzing"
tiki ,   belgium   (03.01.10)
UN, EU, NGO's, Spanish Children, Irish snub, British policeman probing , Universities anti 'apartheid weeks, the whole (bankrupt) world being "buddies with the 'Pals, Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorists. In the meantime....Israel has a 'surplus on its budget, its GDP is groing, (1st country to + their interest rate), new houses/villa's are build (Israeli's OWN their apprtements/houses), Economy is thriving, Israeli's live the good live, travel (Dubai???), while the rest of the world is boycotting, complaining an "platzing". Like Ben Gurion said...."it doesn't matter what the gentiles are SAYING it matters what the JEWS are doing", and THEY are doing GOOD.
46. #29 What about images of israeli soldiers...
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (03.01.10)
Tying up palestinians and shooting them on the leg?? Or beating them up with stones.... The list can go on...I'm sure you know better than anyone else. israel is by no means a saint in any of these.
47. Pals poison their kids minds - now the Spanish
Scott   (03.01.10)
48. Spain should get out of Melilla, Ceuta, Basque and Catalonia
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (03.01.10)
Israeli 5 year olds should write to the Spanish Ambassador telling the Spanish Inquisitors to get out of Melilla, Ceuta (Morocco), Catalonia and the Basque Country. And Andulasia should be returned to the Arabs.
49. Spanish idiots
Yonatan   (03.01.10)
You just lost my tourism dollars Spain, congratulations! You should be ashamed of yourself; legitimate discontent with the israeli government does anti-jewish sentiment. Anti-zionism=anti semitism.
50. YEAH," Israel" has worst world image
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.01.10)
You may lie to some people some time, but can not lie to all the people all the time Note: These children may not know what your usual propaganda "anti-Semitism" mean? SO What will you say about them? We await the clown Lieberman reply :) VIVA Espana CHILDREN...YOU CAN ALSO LEARN FROM THESE CHILDREN MANY VALUES

52. to #26 children r easily influanced
ghostq   (03.01.10)
by adults they will do anything to please their parents, brain wash young minds will have catastrophic implication on the futur as democratic state, it's short way to totalitarism by minority, and it goes on the same level as statutory rape.
53. to #39 the water comes from the Israeli side
ghostq   (03.01.10)

56. two states, one state
observer   (03.01.10)
if Jews can't get along among themselves how can they get an extra completely different nation among themselves.
57. To Noor of the invented state of Palestine
Pastaneta ,   NYC   (03.01.10)
WEll like a good little Pali you are ignorant of all. Spain now is desperate for any euro as it is the next Greece, I hope the parents of these children will be as poor as th so-called "Palestinians". Spain is going bankrupt. Halleluiah!
58. #57 Spain is going bankrupt??
Nour ,   Palestine   (03.01.10)
Israel is strategically bankrupt. It is a "state" living on borrowed time! Everyone is fast discovering just how ugly your regime of racism, torment, and terror it really is! Well, Ahmadinejad was right after all. Israel refuses to give up Apartheid, so it should suffer the wrath of the world and the consequences very soon. One Man, One Vote, AMEN.
59. #50 You teach your children to hate
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.01.10)
Then you offer them a future of poverty void of opportunity. You survive on humanitarian aid which you turn around and either spend on expensive weapons or allow your leaders to squander. You fire thousands of kassams at Israel, then place your children in the line of fire to maximize world sympathy. After you terrorize Israelis, you expect them to hire you and care for you in their hospitals. You live a life of deceit and failure. Fortunately, many people understand the truth.
60. Award for..
Dani ,   The Netherlands   (03.01.10)
