31. Israeli Rirates??
Alex ,   Brighton, UK   (09.20.10)
Anyone else noticed how the daft bat in the picture of the protest in London can't even spell Pirates? But thinks she can comment on the situation in the ME. Israel should stop worrying so much, there is a loud muslim- far left alliance but they don't speak for the rest of us! Keep standing up for yourself, stay safe, with love :)
32. No 21 & 23
JUDAH THE LION   (09.20.10)
As far as our FATHER in HEAVEN with ISRAEL,WE ARE SATISFIED, IN G D WE TRUST NOT HUMAN BEING MADE FROM FLESH & BLOOD
33. Re #23
Andrew Brehm   (09.20.10)
We face such diplomatic isolation every 10 years or so and then lose half our people and most of our land every 100 years or so. That doesn't scare us. Jews have lost more land in the middle-east in the 20th century than Israel is in size. That too didn't stop us from defending the little land we have left. So what if the Arabs call our land their land? They call EVERYTHING their land, whether it is Aram, Assyria, Kurdistan, Darfur, Tamazgha, EVERYTHING they call theirs. The world has acted worse towards the Kurds and the Berbers and has not only isolated the Darfurians and the people of southern Sudan but simply watched them die by the hundreds of thousands. Why would it scare us if we are (again) made part of the air people, the people nobody speaks to and everybody agrees can be murdered at will?
34. Give to poor EU a break
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.20.10)
They are in fear for their lives with the flood of Islamic hordes and the growing threat to them from al queda in the Balkans. They have to attack Jews like their relatives before them did to prove to the new Nazi's that they are loyal to their judenrein policies. Notice how they give Hamas a free ride. and are so afraid to say anything about their barbaric ways.
35. #25 Batty Droves
dabosshog   (09.20.10)
More Batty Droves of stupidity from Fairport. Time to pull out the head from where the sun does not shine. Pathetic!!!
36. Ugly heads of EU
Brod ,   USA   (09.20.10)
The ugly heads of Pagan Papist AntiSemites in EU have once again resurfaced since the Holocaust that was perpertrated by Pagan Papist Nazis. Israel should ignore the dark forces. In the End Time GOD will rescue His people and put an end to the dark forces.
37. #23 europe isnt all the world and again its not all europe
Omri ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
East europe along with abit of central europe + Duchland are with a diffrant stance toward Israel then France and Britain. And outside europe the support for Israel is larger. India, Georgia, American, Mexican, Canadian, Australian, Chinese, etc.
38. Dutch support for Israel
Seth Greenberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.20.10)
While this little NGO was off NOT consulting with the Dutch foreign ministery, the Dutch foreign minister was off addressing the UN Human Rights Council, lambasting them for putting too much effort into demonizing Israel while covering up human rights abuses in their own dictatorships. The writer of this article and those who predict a grim future for Israeli foreign relationships need to take a look beyond their agendas and see what reality looks like from time to time.
39. The EU is lost, next please
Rachmiel ,   Mburg USA   (09.20.10)
If the "free" world is counting on the EU to help them, forget it! The EU is finished; they have surrendered to Islam. Guess they'll be sitting out the next few years- the sand & oil wars. The EU is so afraid of getting involved with the moral thing to do and decided to slip into Islamism. And its not bad enough the EU is sitting this one out, they're actually helping Islam to do their work by caving in to a false promise of equal rights (for Muslims only thank you) in exchange for a few years before they riot instead of right now. The EU is a slivering mass of unkempt and uncouth people dealing with the Jews as they always have, by killing them off. The EU really likes their Jews dead or next to dead.
40. I bet Europe can't do more evil to the Jewish state than
Yaniv ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
they did to the Jewish people living in Europe. Europe is dying and they are focusing on us. Fools.
41. Christian Europe sides with God's enemies
Steve   (09.20.10)
Europe has historically been anti-Semitic. Centuries of church-inspired Jew-hatred made fertile ground for the Holocuast. That is why much of Europe - with few exceptions - collaborated with the Nazis in the final solution. Now Europeans seek Israel's destruction. Christians in Europe expect God to bless them for all this hatred of God's people?
42. Dilema
Greg ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
I was born in EU, grew up in a few EU countries and have many friends in most EU countries. My dilema as far as Israel policy wrt the territories "yehuda veshomron" is as such : - Wait tight without taking decisions nor left or right and maintain the best status quo with our neighbours in a rethoric of animosity yet quiet on the ground - Withdraw from the territories knowing very well that it will eventually lead to a larger war. What i like with the second option, is that if adopted, it will create such a boost of joyce and feeling of victory among the arab world, that their follow up action will of course be Tel Aviv and Haifa (which I like less) but more importantly Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, Holland, Germany, Sweden, thanks to the huge muslim community support that has/was grown there over the last 30 years. My dilema is such that i am not sure whether I want to participate to the acceleration of the (very well advanced) decomposition of EU (demographicaly, financialy, culturaly) by helping our semitic friends boost their self confidence and propulse them inside the borders of EU through Sharya laws recognition, mosque mushrooming and so forth. I think this option might be interesting on purely social and geopolitical levels, since the outcome will most certainly lead to very serious unrests and civil wars within the heart of Europe. Indeed I am eager to see whether Europeans will treat their arab minorities better than they treated their jewish communities in the thirties and forties - and such a test will reveal to what extent european populations remain pacific when confronted to cultural and lifestyle threats - or whether they end up showing their pure natural bestiality and monstruosity as their forefathers - Hitler, Churchill, Daladier, Chamberlin were famous for. It might also be interesting to see what kind of answer, a strongly islamised middle east that possesses nuclear weapons, offer to a Europe that resist to their influence, refuse Shariya laws and badly treat their strong minorities. While thinking of this second option - paving the way to islamic societies and show them the "Road to Pariscus", I wonder whether the first option is not preferable ! At least it buys us time to us Israelis that are very fed up with millenia-long christian/muslim rivalty and warmonging.
43. Guys, there is not widespread boycott. Just because
leo ,   usa   (09.20.10)
small fringe is very loud does not make it any more important. They are loud exactly because almost nobody gives a damn about them. Take a look at US. It was just as noisy here until people woke up and decided to take country back. Europeans, rise your own Teabaggers (with respect) and you will survive too.
44. Hardens
Ezra ,   Florida   (09.20.10)
What else is new? Israel, please be the one who hardens its position with EU. and not the opposite. Refuse to extend any relation with Europe. You should set up ALL the terms, and see what happens. It could not get any worse, and indirectly , Israel will get all the due respect.
45. rattle europe
alexi   (09.20.10)
israel should get tough with europe who are primarly a bunch of pussy cowards that waive the white flag before putin or their moslem inhabitants-especially france, spain and holland. So I say to europe, be careful what you to say to israel or threaten israel cause israel has the arms to threaten you. So shut up. Olmert is gone and the king of appeasement , lies and cowardice is gone except for one item. He wants to destroy barak which is fine by me. Barak with all his faults does not lie or steal like olmert.
46. THE AVIAN CONFERENCE IN 1938 WHICH REVEALED THE ATTITUDE OF
chris ,   wales   (09.20.10)
Many Bible scholars believe that Europe will also be part of the last Great Empire allied with Russia and the muslim nations who will come against Israel during the closing years of this age bringing us to the day of the Lord. Remember also that it was in Europe that 6 Million jews died and no one lifted a Finger whe they had the opportunity to help. in 1939 before the Mass Murdrer of Jews started,There was a Conference held in Evian, on the French side of Lake Geneva, since Switzerland declined to host the conference. This was a critical meeting held in which Most delegates made speeches deploring Nazi discrimination against Jews, but in some cases these speeches fronted for openly anti-Semitic policies and sentiments. The conference agreed to create an intergovernmental committee on the problem, which did practically nothing. The Nazi government gloated over the isolation of the Jews. http://www.zionism-israel.com/dic/Evian_conference.htm here are the alliance of ezekiel 38: The nations cited by Ezekiel are each referenced here by the names of their Old Testament predecessors, yet they all represent nations which exist today. Centuries before Russia became a power on the world stage, biblical scholars identified Magog as the nation of Russia and Gog as the ruler of Russia. The other nations referenced in Ezekiel 38 are identified below, with the original Hebrew translation listed first, followed by its modern day equivalent: Magog, Meshech, and Tubal = Russia Persia = Iran (Could include Iraq Afghanistan,Pakistan and others as the bible tells us there are other nations also involved) Cush = Ethiopia (Probably will include all Black African states such as Somalia and Sudan there will probably be some form of Super state of Africa with Lybia taking the lead) Put = Libya Gomer = Turkey Beth-togarmah = Turkey, Armenia, and the Turkish-speaking people of Asia Minor which could also include the Ex Soviet States Many Scholars agree that germany is also Included and could also include all of Europe under Gomer? the prophet Indicated that this Ruler from the Uttermost north will be the main leader of this confederacy Ezek 38:9"You and all your troops and the many nations with you will advance like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4i9ZiEz4R4&feature=fvw Israel you have to Remember that you can Never trust the Nations but You must look to your Helper Who is your God,who will Deliver you!
47. Holland
LL ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
The Dutch should worry about their own country which will soon be a Moslem one, just like the rest of Europe. Israel is one tiny, tiny sliver on the globe, you can barely see us, and even that they don't want us to have.
48. EUROpeans are Simply REPEATING their HISTORY!!!!
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (09.20.10)
after centuries of antisemitism Europeans are poised to continue their legacy
49. the EU is irrelevent! ISLAM will control it very soon!!!!!!!
Eurabia is DOOMED!!!   (09.20.10)
50. double standard
sophie ,   Holland   (09.20.10)
At this point Holland seems to have a double standard. They have no problem with Turkey. The Turks occupie half of Cyprus. It's just not fair! I don't know where this is coming from. I hope it changes
51. Food for thought
John ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
Muslim influence in the EU is extremely potent. Probably the reason that Israel's occupation of the West Bank is top on the agenda while Turkey's occupation of Cyprus is not mentioned or occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistan - or to give an even more pressing matter - why are the nearly 300,000 dead in the Islamic Republic of the Sudan is barely on the news? This is all just another way to once again strip Jews of any legitimacy. Our history is chock-full of this type of treatment.
52. When are the EU states going to end their occupations?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.20.10)
The two largest colonial powers in the world are the UK and France. They both have colonies around the world. So when are those occupations going to end? As for us caring about the EU, forget it. They abandoned us a long time ago. They hoped that by imposing embargoes in 1948 that the Arabs would finish us off and we all know how well that worked.
53. error in thinking
(09.20.10)
it is completely insane to compare the berlin wall to the separation wall in israel for one simple reason!!! the east berliners never ever terrorised the west berliners. the east berliners never sent suicide bombers to west berlin. the east berliners never strapped bombs to themselves, jumped the berlin wall and bobmed buses, restaurants, discos and innocent people in west berlin. never even once. to compare a separatist wall between east and west berlin was for political purposes; communist versus democratic east and west berlin. but no one got killed. as a matter of fact many east berliners were opressed by the russian influenced and hold on to east berlin. but they were never killers. they often wanted freedom to cross over for democracy, but not to kill the west berliners. this is not the case with the israeli separation fence which was built as a result of so many palestinian terror cells from the west bank entering israel proper and bombing citizens to death on so many many occasions. since israel built this fence, there are no suicide bombings anymore. none. it was 99$ eradicated coming from the west bank. this is the purpose of this separation fence. not for political reasons but to save israeli lives, thousands of them, that were lost in so many killings and suicide bombings by palestinians from the west bank. there were no separation fences before thew mass suicide bombings and west bank paklestinians were free to move in and out of israel for jobs and for enjoyment. the separation fence came only as a result of the palestinians suicide bombings taking thousands of israeli lives with them. you can never compare the berlin fence and the israeli fence purely based on the above reasoning. if the west berliners suffered suicide bombings and death committed by east berliners, that wall would have never come down. never. hameed aboughaze, iranian
54. Response to #15
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto / Salma   (09.20.10)
With these kind of friends who needs enemies. Before the second world war Jewish Comunites along the Europe have been contribue immensely to the hosting country , but now that got the curse by hosting the Islamic radicalism, so is up to them to chose from right to evil.
55. #2
(09.20.10)
nour, you are living in lala land. have you not read recently that the export of israeli goods to the eu countries has jumped by 11% LAST YEAR COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR???? have you not realized that these that support boycotts are only leftist fringe groups no one pays attrention to and that do not have a single impact on the israeli economy which is booming compared to all european countries and even the usa???? come on nour, pick up a news paper and read for yourself. israeli economy is booming!!!! they trade with all european countries to the maximum as well as with the usa. israel is prosperous and is now a developed nation in the oecd. your hopes and wishes are in vein. they will never materialize because the free democratic nations of the world realize that israel can give them much more than all arabs and muslims put together in knowledge, in medicine, in research, in advancements and in hi tech. israel is now an economic powerhouse no one can do without. do you question now how come it got into the oecd????? it earned it despite the little insignificant boycotts around europe that only fring groups do, not their governments. hameed aboughaze, iranian

Brod ,   USA   (09.20.10)
Europe is not Christian. It is dominated by Pagan Papist AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists.
57. EU and Arabs
Ron ,   OC, USA   (09.20.10)
Anti immigrant parties and wariness of Islam are among the most popular parties throughout Europe. I think the EU is having some serious second thought about the Islamification of their countries.
58. 6 'demon'strators in photo, wow!
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (09.20.10)
59. Muslims are taking over Europe (just like the Jews did?)
Mike ,   London, UK   (09.20.10)
Far too many of the posts in this thread talk about Muslims taking over Europe. Not so long ago xenophobes were telling everybody that Jews were taking over Europe, and look where that ended. Think before you post. Most of Europe is engaged is a long, some time painful, often enjoyable and stimulating, journey towards a multi-cultural society where we can all enjoy living with our neighbours.
60. The pic of the protest shows it all
karl ,   Santa Cruz,CA USA   (09.20.10)
7 middle aged and older protesters in London. OMG! That's the opposition that exists to Israel in the real world. The left wing media brings in some "expert" to tell people what to think. Listen, people already know what to think. What we need is the news not pablum. Geert Wilders is the face of the new Dutch political system. THE MSM just hasn't woken up to that reality yet.
