1. Impure motives indeed
john   (10.04.10)
Pleased to know the judges saw right through Maguire's thick skin.She tried cynically to play the ignorance game and take advantage of the Israeli vibrant democracy and lost whatever credibility she had left. She is a disgrace.
2. there is no blockade
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.04.10)
There is no blockade of Gaza, and if there is, Israel is not the address to complain. Maguire should bring all the aid she wants through Egypt, and if anyone stops her she should complain to Mubarak.
3. Israel should make her day
Frank ,   Canada   (10.04.10)
She wants to stay in Israel. She must be allowed to stay in Israel for 10 years behind bars.
4. She Just Doesn't Get It !!
Filipe ,   Portugal   (10.04.10)
It really doesn't matter if she knew of the deportation order or not. If the State of Israel doesn't want to admit her, it is their right as a sovereign nation state. They should put her @ss on a plane and send her home at her own expense!
5. Send her packing, now!
Wise Saba ,   Israel   (10.04.10)
6. Well done, Beinish!
Ariel ,   Europe   (10.04.10)
Apparently, the shoe therapy can work wonders!
7. Sitting in front of her warm fire place...
Eli ,   Raanana   (10.04.10)
in N. Ireland, enjoying Irish whiskey and her warm socks, she decided it would add spice to her life to fight for a cause somewhere. She picked Israel, because here, they do not shoot dissidents. I suggest she gets interested in Chechnya, Myanmar, Sudan for the beginning. Good luck!
8. Motives
Ilana   (10.04.10)
For someone who supports the Hamas, their propoganda and charter, how could she possibly have pure motives? Send her to Sudan to help those children-they really really need her help.
9. Pure evil.
Aviva ,   Israel.   (10.04.10)
A hater of Israel, only comes to cause trouble. Go back home you are not WELCOME!
10. Seems that "Noble Prize" only goes to anti-Semitic nutcases
(10.04.10)
Proof: Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Hussein Obama were all "Noble Prize" winners.
11. Is this lady really that stupid,that she didn't know about
YSL ,   Israel   (10.04.10)
The deportation order.She should be kicked out now,not allowed to stay another single second in Israel.
12. Ulterior motive
Ossie ,   Israel   (10.04.10)
The human right Gaza bleeding heart Nobel Prize winner Maguire would be better served in her home country of Ireland which is facing an economic depression of poverty and unemployment than running around world looking for photo ops. If she wants to be busy she should be looking after the sexually abused and innocent Irish children who were victims of the pedophilia and the sexual gratification of their Catholic priests.
13. Shocked? Really?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.04.10)
Maguire did not know she was persona non grata in Israel? Stop with the kind and considerate treatment of this vicious anti-Semite -- take her to the Erez Crossing and shove her through the gate.
14. no.12
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.04.10)
Hear,hear Ossie ,but one more proviso,if the Irish need qualiy fresh pro duce grown by Israel,s finest farmers then Madame Maguire will have to pay premium prices ,nothing for free or bargain prices ,not for the Irish anyway?
15. WHAT'S WITH ENGLAND SENDING THESE HATE MONGERS ABROAD?
stude ham   (10.04.10)
canada is being skunked by the terrorist supporting george galloway, while israel has to endure the stench of this mairead mcguire... both of whom pretend to being persecuted by the national governments. it's about time the british stopped allowing these terrorist lovin sickos from leaving its shores.
16. A true kangaroo court
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (10.04.10)
It is almost ludicrous to hear the statement from the Israeli Supreme Court when they acknowledge that there is no interpreter present for the hearing. And they rely upon a document written in Hebrew with no translation or showing that such document was ever written in Maguire's native language or translated for her before her signing. Is thei what passes for Israeli law?
17. to #16
Reader   (10.04.10)
You're such a fool Mikesailor, everything was translated both on paper and orally. What you should be asking is why Maguire persists in provoking Israel and who funds her activities - certainly not the money she got from the Nobel.
18. Mikesailor: We are a sovereign nation.
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (10.04.10)
We are not required to translate our legal documents into English for the sake of English speakers anymore than the USA would be required to translate its documents into Hebrew. And, incidentally, Hebrew and Arabic are the two official languages in Israel. Your constant tirades against Israel are old hat and you never seem to educate yourself. You appear to be stuck. Why not try actually researching your topic? Well, that would take genuine effort.
19. Abducted from international waters NOT traveling Israel
James ,   Canad   (10.04.10)
The absurdity of Israel just gets more like a circus every day. She was abducted from international waters by the state of Israel and then they tell here she shouldn't be in Israel. The fact the this "democracy" has a judge that can say that with a straight face shows how messed up this pinnacle of a democracy is. The North Koreans are capable of similar delusional acts now Israel has joined them
20. #16 Kangaroo Court?
Lippy ,   Proud Israeli   (10.04.10)
Go take a jump yourself! What is the language she "officially" understands? Gaelic?
21. Deport her now!
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (10.04.10)
and when she comes on the next hate boat arrest and charge her.
22. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.04.10)
What are you babbling about? She participated in a flotilla in June; this time around she flew to Israel and attempted to enter the country at Ben Gurion Airport. It's usually a helpful exercise to get the story straight before commenting. Unless, of course, you get cheap thrills from being an object of derision.
23. deportat her.....
Anna M Sedda ,   italy   (10.04.10)
she is not frend of Israel,so she should not stay in Israel
24. praise this noble woman
beebok ,   Dallas Texas USA   (10.04.10)
Unlike the judges who refuse to let her tell the truth about the Israeli persecution of innocent Palestinians, this brave woman has a heart and compassion for the people who are suffering every day under Israel's heavy handed oppression. The judges would not let her speak because of their guilty conscience. They know she is telling the truth and they want to plug their ears and shut her up. But the rest of the world is learning more and more about Israel's ceaseless brutality.
25. can we stop refering to her as Nobel Laureate
zionist forever   (10.04.10)
Yes the woman woman won a Nobel Prize not that those things mean very much as Arafat won one for peace and Obama won one because he was not named George W Bush. Refering to her though as the Nobel Laureate in this situation gives the impression that she more important than she really is. The woman is a waste of space trouble making nobody who is here to make trouble and in the process breaking Israeli law so lets not try and make her sound important. Send her back to Ireland and she can drown her sorrows in Guiness.
26. # 24
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.04.10)
yeah yeah yeah. you're not the first & you're not the last to tell us how much you love & admire us. keep talking beebee.
27. Israel's supreme court saw through her
Richie ,   Dublin, Ireland   (10.05.10)
Well done to Israel's Supreme court for rejecting this woman's attempt to get into Israel. Hopefully she'll be deported very soon. Only problem with that is that she will come back to Ireland and bore us all to tears with her anti-Israel rants. Pity we can't deport her from here too.
28. 27
zionist forever   (10.05.10)
Maybe she could be encouraged to move to Hamastan. Good for Israel because we don't need to hear her rants. Good for Ireland because you don't have to hear her rants. Good for her because she can show her support for Gazans. She did want to get into Gaza when she took a cruise. Good for Hamas having another supporter. EVERYBODY IS A WINNER
29. #24..beebok..
Malone ,   Hfx   (10.05.10)
What are you bleating about? Can you even find Gaza or Israel on a map? And no,they're not situated in Texas. Sometimes I wonder how you sad,un informed lefties can even stand up straight,you lean so far to the left. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad!
