31. The world is really sick.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.13.10)
right is wrong and wrong is right. I am aware Mr 'Dylan' doesn't like Israel very much, even though i have never read it - i am aware of it. Some people just disappoint don't they, his songs are meaningless in the light of day, a pity.
32. Many angry at Israel's actions not Jewish people in general
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.13.10)
It seems now days that being anti-Israel is being anti-Semitic , while many out there are likely both but far from all. Many in world want a peaceful solution of some kind which seem to go against many of Israel's actions lately.
33. website
bob dylan fan ,   givatayim   (06.13.10)
I was not familiar with this website but just went in with no problem, despite my Israeli IP address
34. dylan state of mind
samekg ,   vancouver canada   (06.13.10)
this dude is losing his mind from overdose of drugs
35. FFS
Paul ,   Niagara Falls   (06.14.10)
Congratulations are due everybody who has accused the operator of Dylanchords of being a "Jew hater" and an "anti-semite." The nation of Israel has for years attempted to inextricably link criticism of the IDF, the Knesset or any other political entity within the state with anti-semitism, and I'm sure it would be pleased to see that it has largely succeeded! Whatever you do, don't take time out of your busy day to think for yourselves; I'd hate to imagine what might result.
36. A pro-Israel Bob Dylan website
Mary ,   New York USA   (06.14.10)
The website RightWingBob.com ( http://www.rightwingbob.com/ ) has strongly supported Israel for years and features plenty of great analysis of Bob's music.
37. What I would tell this guy if his email wasn't disabled

No one cares about your political opinions. People come to your site because of Bob Dylan, not for you. Bob Dylan would have a much more nuanced and well thought out opinion about Israel and the so-called "flotilla massacre" than you do. No one cars about your political opinions, but when you hitch a free ride on Bob Dylan's star, your opinion reaches a slightly broader audience. I for one am glad you chose to combine your hissy fit against Israel with you useful idiot's mis-understanding of the "flotilla affair". It shows just how petty and childish the people doing the judging of Israel are. An epic FAIL on all fronts. If there's any karma in this world, Dylan will get wind of what you've said on your site and HE'LL PUT A BAN ON YOU. Do you think he would be at all impressed with either your misguided outrage at Israel or your way of expressing it? I don't. He'd block you from exploiting his songs if he cared enough to. Again, thanks for showing us what short sighted and short tempered fools the "european left" really are. All they have is their smug sense of moral superiority, and as this guy shows, it's clearly not deserved.
38. #29 - read it again. He's supporting Israel.

39. Disappointed that the site is still up Israeli hackers
Zionist   (06.14.10)
I just went there and gave the dumb website owner a piece of my mind.
40. doesn't hate jews
DH ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.15.10)
Look, being Jewish doesn't mean that you agree with everything Israel does. THere are lots of Canadian jews who realize how out of control Israel has become. You've become the nazis you ran away from. sad clear eyed Jew.
