1. "non-violent struggle....."
Nigel ,   Israel   (10.11.10)
.....international elements, mainly from Europe, demanded that Israel stop "persecuting" activists who are waging a "non-violent struggle against the separation fence." So throwing stones, trying to rip the fence down, attacking the Border Police etc. is non-violent? I must write to the Oxford Dictionary editors and explain to them that their definition of non-violent is wrong.
2. Both Canada and the USA have
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (10.11.10)
military courts which are bound by their own prinicples of protocol. Why is Israel expected to be any different?
3. EU Funding and involvement
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (10.11.10)
Please don't censor me. I am pro Israel. The mere fact that EU diplomats were present proves the heavy financial and planning involvement of the EU governments in many of the Protest. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
4. Israel afraid from non violent Palestinians
Yossi normal Jew ,   Bat Yam Israel   (10.12.10)
5. #2 - Israel should be different than the US and Canada...
seadog1946 ,   Shooters Island, NJ   (10.12.10)
Israel has the world's most moral army consisting of God's chosen people who are citizens of a country that is the apple of God's eye... don't you believe in your own hasbara? If not, then you are the blight unto the world.
6. Non-violent protest is progress.
Cranleigh ,   Canada   (10.23.10)
Stone-throwing youths join these protests but the intent of the organizers appears non-violent. We have heard so long that Palestinians are incapable of this type of thing but now that it has started to appear I don't see much joy from the Israeli Right. No surprise there, then. BTW I would not class trying to dismantle a wall most countries consider illegal in the same category as violence directed at people. This is progress, guys - it should be acknowledged as such.
