31. Protest? I see 4 Arabs and a misguided white leftie
Jay Berger ,   Manchester, England   (04.29.10)
I am a Jewish student at the University and this was not aware of this small pitiful protest. This is not really news. I can see more hate in the opinions talkbacks towards the UK, than is coming from these looser protestors towards Israel, just less animalistic and more daring as you hide behind a computer. This looks to be 4 Muslims and a white middle class leftie who will desert her 'radicial student life' once she graduates and join a bank or a law firm, while the 4 Arabs will return to Pakistan or Lebanon still hating Israel, and it makes me feel better than each and every achievement of Israel will sicken them even more. If you guys here, think the British police are a push over then I suggest you take them on sometime..
32. #26 this wasnt in London. Was Manchester.Failed Geography?

33. appalling!
gene ,   tlv   (04.29.10)
a diplomatic would NEVER be treated that way in Israel! The British should be ashamed of their citizens, politicians, and academic institutions for allowing Islamofascism and anti-semitic to reach such a level!
34. Come to America, give your speeches here, with welcome!
mea   (04.29.10)
We love Israel and we understand that it is brainwashed wahbabiism that causes populations to become brown shirts like these losers. This actu of violence is thje direct result of the hasbara efforts funded and fueled by the Saudi government in boiler rooms targeting campuses in Brittain and the US. I suggest the Israelis start making speeches in campuses in the US heartland, and make use of the enormously positive responses--afterall this is what Palin does. Come to America, where (in spite of our lousy president) we LOVE ISRAEL!
35. british attacks....
les ,   canada   (04.29.10)
what else would you expect in BRITISTAN??? they think if they'll kiss the terrorists behind, they'll be spared when bin laden takes over. boy, how wrong can you get...REMEMBER THE THE NAZIS??
36. Freedom of speech British style
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (04.29.10)
37. Exactly
Chris Linthwaite   (04.29.10)
What was this Ambassador doing running around the country? British Diplomats in Israel are routinely stopped from travelling anywhere in israel, usually on the grounds of safety. This Israeli Ambassador should be prevented from leaving the area enclosed by the M25 for her own security. And ours, It is not so long ago that israel was caught forging british passports for the purposes of murder.
38. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.29.10)
Oh, I guess you are suggesting that British MI6 officers ALWAYS fly on British passports. Yeah, right. Besides -- disposing of a terrorist with the blood of thousands on his hands is not murder. It's taking out the trash.
39. How many protestors were ACTUALLY British? Foreign students
Debbie Green ,   Oranit, Israel   (04.29.10)
The average Brit could care less if you are Jewish or Israel stuff. I always have a delightful time when I go back to London to see my family there. I made Aliyah when I married an Israeli but would never have but for him. My family love to visit me, but they'd never live here, sadly. My husband wants to move to London. It cant be that bad or isnt - these are kids, the white kids will be leftie kids, feeding on fashionable nonsense, i.e. hate Israel, hate eating meat, hate BP and Shell etc blah blah. The Muslim protestors, different kettle of fish, but not sure they are British. I really think that the majority of the protestors are foreign students, from Middle east, as the picture kind of demonstrates. Thus I repeat the average Brit could care less if you are Jewish or about Israel politics. Never in my life did I suffer anything by way of being Jewish. Jewish jokes for example about Jews, or the American/Irish/Welsh jokes are nothing serious, just in good humour.
40. #26 CHRIS ,DON'T BE A BIGOT
GORDON BROWN ,   LONDON   (04.29.10)
Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry
41. Today the ambassador, tomorrow...
R ,   Israel   (04.29.10)
Today the Israeli ambassador was violently attacked for giving a speech. Tomorrow it will be legitimate to attack any speaker with whom you disagree. So those of you who enjoyed seeing this happen will hopefully get to actually experience it yourselves in the near future. Hope you have the balls to deal with it and don't come crying and screaming like the hypocrites you are.
42. England will follow Greeces bankruptcy soon...

43. Chris Linthwaite #26
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (04.29.10)
You're missed on Haaretz where you made a name for yourself and where you belong.
44. anti israel
sas ,   israel   (04.29.10)
only the beginning............................
45. Why blame Israel
Coln ,   nz   (04.30.10)
Why are so mnay of you blaming Israel for the actions of a few yound terrorists in training.
46. Even pro-"palestinian" supporters are rabidly violent
William ,   Israel   (04.30.10)
Doesn't that just sum up the entire "culture" of the "Palestinians" in a nutshell? Pure racism...pure violence...nothing of value for the world at large.
47. #1 - yet, during "unarmed" protests...
William ,   Israel   (04.30.10)
there always seems to be: rocks, molotov cocktails, snipers, etc. I believe if these protesters acted the same "peaceful" way in the UK as they do against the IDF, you would see a much stronger-handed UK police action. I take your rantings as little more than a feeble attempt to convince yourself of your stance. Most times during protests the IDF uses tear gas, just as the UK police have in the past, and you decry this also as a crime. So stuff it.
48. #2 - you excuse violence?
William ,   Israel   (04.30.10)
Actually, your attempt to excuse people's lack of self-control and reversion to violence due to "Israel's occupation" resonates well with the Iranian Mullahs who claim "male lack of self-control" and earthquakes are a result of under-clothed women. You have a moral and intellectual depravity on the order of the Mullahs.
49. ISRAEL
Bruce ,   New Zealand   (04.30.10)
Creator God gave the land to his people, the Jews. . He never breaks a covenant.. History shows that despite opposition they are now in their own land. God blesses those who choose to honour Israel
50. To # 1 and #2
Rob ,   USA   (04.30.10)
You are both such utter fools!
51. #37 - Chris - that's still not proven, no evidence
William ,   Israel   (04.30.10)
Chris - aren't you tired of stretching rumors to fit your accusations when proof is absent?? There is still no conclusive evidence that Israel was behind any passport forging in the welcomed death of Mabhouh. The Dubai Police hasn't said more than "we suspect" and the UK hasn't said more than "we are almost certain". And Interpol has still not found any of the individuals of interest, nor have they issued arrest warrants for them. Though, the UK DID bypass any questions on the thousands of stolen blank UK passports and CD of passport holders that went missing a few years back.
52. Foolish #2 Hess
Louis Fried ,   Woodbridge   (04.30.10)
You are attempting to justify violence that was inflicted upon an Israeli diplomat. Whatever happened to the concepts of freedom of speech and intelligent debate? Those are concepts of which you are completely ignorant.
53. BIG DEAL! MISLEADING HEADLINES
Frank-el ,   Detroit USA   (04.30.10)
Gotta love the spin in this article. She was "attacked" but not touched...oh, they said later it was an "attempted attack." I guess they are mind readers. Maybe they were going to confront, and not attack her. But this pitiful group then attacked the car trying to break the windshield but failed at this as well. Oh but she was so brave! More Israeli diplomats need to be reminded that they have to account for their country's actions and a little car rocking won't hurt them. Even Bush didn't cry when that nut threw a shoe at him.
54. Talkback 4/29/10 #11
Bryna Weiss ,   USA   (04.30.10)
This disgusting, hateful comment serves no purpose except to show the ignorance of the sender. Take it off!!
55. Are some posters saying she should have had her face smashed
Alan ,   SA   (04.30.10)
in? As an accredited diplomat to the Court of St James, should she have been beaten up? It is just part of the daily disgraceful routine that our diplomats must endure from the Left Wing-Muslim Alliance in Europe in general and UK in particular .
56. #2 Michael Hess...First..it's Arab violence
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (04.30.10)
Secondly, according to Jacques Gautier, an extremely learned individual.... you are wrong. According to international law Israel is not occupying anything. Many of us have known this all along. Jacques proves it . Check out his interview with Christine Williams on CTS Television and get back to us, Mr Clever Clogs ...if you have the mettle, that is
57. Just imagine if a British Ambassador were to be attacked in
Gaza Girl ,   UK   (04.30.10)
If the British ambassador in Israel were to be attacked in such a nasty and disgusting manner.All hell would break loose.Looking that picture you can see that she was left to fend for herself.Useless Brits.Where ever the palestinians go they bring their shit with them.Nasty people.
58. Who runs Britain....The Palestinians?????
Gaza Girl ,   UK   (04.30.10)
59. The UK is the epicentre of the UNHOLY TRINITY: Classic anti-
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.30.10)
Semitism - "Progressive" anti-Jewish Racism - 7th Century Based Islamism. Jews of the UK, it is time to come home, to Israel!!!
