31. give them a map and ask them where is
Golan ,   modiin   (09.06.10)
Tel Aviv? They will point at Beer Sheva. Ask them where is EIlat and they will point at Gaza. Ask them where in Washington and they will point at New York. These people are attractive, sexy, and with a TelePrompTer they can sound smart too. No wonder they like Obama. They too are just as fiscally responsible. (check out their debt)
32. Who needs these STUPID actors?
Rosie   (09.06.10)
It is these individuals do not study Jewish history nor any history and they follow the lies of the liberal leftists. The liberal that try to rewrite history and truths. As my father a holocaust survivor always said " The worset enemies of the Jewish people come from within" Let's boycott all these actors and find other actors that will perform in Ariel. Shame on them.
33. not fashionable
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (09.06.10)
Actually boycotts aren't fashionable, just Jew-hating. Do any of these people boycott Spain for the occupation of Basqueland? Saudi Arabia? And what about the US? Just read Wikileaks to see the arbitrary murderous cruelty of the American occupation forces in Afghanistan. But of course if they boycotted Spain, or Saudi Arabia or the US they would hurt themselves.
34. hahaha those anctors never been in TA
ghostq   (09.06.10)
they don't even know where it located on the map, lol for people who never visit Israel they have alot to say, but as trend goes, they will forget they even sign it. since they sign many things. hahaha
35. Boycott them
Proud Israel ,   Israel   (09.06.10)
Please list all of their names for us so that we can boycott them. They should be placed in Arab countries and let's see what happens to them there. What do Gazans do to lesbians??? Probably murder them because they stained their families honor.
36. the "in crowd
tiki ,   belgium   (09.06.10)
Protesting for the "enviroment is 'soooooo last year, the 'latest cry is BOYCOT ISRAEL (sorry, the 'illegal settlements)! Why doesn't Miss Nixon protest the 'plight of lesbians and gays in the 'Palestinian/arab society?
37. Sad and Misinformed
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.06.10)
Sadly, these people of good will have been duped by the Pallywood crowd and have fallen fall the myths of the Palestinians instead of the truth. The article states: " Ariel, one of the largest of the West Bank settlements, which by all standards of international law are clearly illegal." This statement is completely false, and had those who signed the petition, taken the time to research it, they would know the issue is not that simple. As we can see here: http://palestinefacts.org/pf_current_settlements.php Then we have this statement from the article: "allow their work to be used to normalize a cruel occupation which they know to be wrong, which violates international law" Again we have the myth over taking the truth. The Palestinians have simplified complicated situations into quick soundbites. This has allowed them to manipulate people of good will. As the site above illustrates the settlement issue is not sound bite, but a complicated one. The settlements are legal NOT illegal. But they found more gullible suckers, who need a cause to feel their life is important. The myths work well, tell a lie, repeat the lie often, and people will believe the lie. It's and old Nazi trick and the Palestinians have taken it to an art form, so its only fitting that artists, believe them. But it saddens me to see people cynically manipulated.
38. I will proudly perform in Ariel
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (09.06.10)
And so will my friends Stan and Kenny. Cartman has joined the boycott, but we all know that he's a fat retard. Mohammed will perform in the bear suit.
39. Nixon, Hollywood, Ariel
Ezra ,   Florida   (09.06.10)
Another SHARMOOTA form hoolywood who tells Israel what to do.. When she and her ilk kept their mouth shut, I thought they were smart. Now it is too late to change my mind.,
40. these useful idiots discredit the boycott, not enhance it!
ralph   (09.06.10)
41. such useful-idiots backing discredits, not benefits the boyc
ralph   (09.06.10)
42. Conversation?
ED ,   USA   (09.06.10)
""We hope that the strong show of solidarity will help spark a new conversation in both countries, one that acknowledges that the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are illegal by every measure of international law, contribute to the daily violation of human rights of Palestinians, and are a major obstacle to a just peace in the region." What conversation? These people have their minds made up. They're too bigoted to listen to other views. Let's have the full list so that we can boycott them.
43. vanessa redgrave
SUE ,   Jerusalem   (09.06.10)
i have been following the career and comments of venessa redgrave ever since I detected her virulent anti-Israel stance consistently and relentlessly. she must be in her glory with rallying others to her hateful position. and, because her name is on the list, I don't take this headline seriously.
44. artists join boycott
moron ,   galut   (09.06.10)
read the list-the usual suspects given unearned attention first by israeli press and then by others..another self-inflicted wound
45. Not exactly "all stars" of artists! LOL!
iObserver and News ,   USA   (09.06.10)
Hollywood has always been plagued by naiive, misled, liberal loonies so this action is nothing new. However what is new is THE OVERWHELMING ABSENCE OF IMPORTANT & INFLUENTIAL HOLLYWOOD NAMES. This list is NOT exactly stellar. Redgrave was always a complete loony, Petinkin is brilliant but is notorious for making idiotic decisions, Tilly....ah, Megs little sister: NOT a 'name' of any reconing. This list is more of an embarassment than an achievement. No one cares about these 'Hollywood' names! Like to see the list of names that "passed" on signing the petition? It's obviously MASSIVE!
46. Hollywood
Jacob ,   Brooklyn   (09.06.10)
mel gibson, rosie o'donald, oliver stone and now the rest of these anti-Semites are coming out of the closet. some happen to be Jewish, thats the shame!
47. :(:(:(
roli ,   miami beach, USA   (09.06.10)
i'm triple sad. Ariel is Samaria's capital. With a short commute to Ramat Gan it's a fair ways from being a bad place. They built a suburb there. You want it gone? Ignorance through intolerance is the bane of our time. For out of touch and out of work artists.
48. #25 Spot ON !
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.06.10)
49. :: Absolutely fascinating!
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (09.06.10)
It is absolutely fascinating to watch all the Ynuts here slander, discredit, accuse, and insult etc these actors. Yesterday most Ynuts would never have hear of 95% of these 150 or so UK and US actors - now each and every one of these actors has been judged, branded and condemned at the drop of a hat. Out of all the posts (41 so far) only Mark from Georgia and Nic from the UK have even bother to touch on the core issue here ie: the so-called ‘legitimacy’ of these settlements - every other Ynut has just used this thread to vent their ignorance, bigotry and self-induced hate toward people they, up to now, have never heard of nor cared about.
50. WHY? Ariel washes very good !
dave ,   nottingham UK   (09.06.10)
Why the boycott against Ariel? Why not Persil??
51. Dave
Nic ,   UK   (09.06.10)
You left out Daz!
52. How about the American and UK actors
Imshin ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.07.10)
pay the boycotting Israeli actors SALARIES then! I certainly don't see why I should.
53. artists
larry ,   Israel   (09.09.10)
it just shows that artists are not artists. for if they have political veiws and take them to the streets they are politicians and belong in the kenesset...
54. Article on Boycotting Ariel
J ,   Reston, va   (10.03.10)
Artististic folks need to read and study the history of Israel before they blindly sign up to boycott. The media has not been biased for a long time. READ the history and don't listen to the propaganda.
