31. the real Israelis
Alina ,   NY USA   (10.16.10)
Hope & pray for 60,000 strong !
32. The demo FOR Sderot in Tel Aviv got 200 ...
Cowboy Joe ,   Calgary, Canada   (10.16.10)
people before the Gaza war. Most of them were bussed in from Sderot and neighbouring communities. What does that say about Tel Aviv?
33. Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (10.16.10)
The only so called jews that would be in this march are the disgusting, self hating, traitor leftists. This is the Land of Israel and the State of Israel. If somebody wants to live in our country they have to be faithful to it. The Palestinians that live here are taking advantage of our way of living but want to keep hating us. They are poison in our veins together with all those disgusting leftists.
34. Then go back to Russia!
Uzi ,   Spain   (10.16.10)

Birdi ,   Israel   (10.16.10)
Nope, we are keeping Lieberman right here in Israel.
36. Transfer?
Kaare & The Cavemen ,   Ignorance is bliss?   (10.16.10)
Can someone please enlighten me: What is this "transfer" that is mentioned in the article? "Everyone's interest is for a two-state solution. There will be no transfer here," added MK Barakeh."
37. what stupid, arrogant, misguided , useful idiots
ralph   (10.17.10)
38. marchers
michael pielet ,   Boca, usa   (10.17.10)
These leftist extremists should be informed there is no place for you in israel. they all should repatriated to their countries of origin.
39. I'm not a leftist, but they have a point here
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (10.17.10)
I explained my position very meticulously on this matter right here: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3965539,00.html (post #4)
40. Loyalty is a basic duty
Froi ,   Philippines   (10.17.10)
Loyalty to one's country is a basic duty. Hence, no oath should have been required except that there are those who have no shame in biting the hand that feeds them.
41. March of the Fascists
Erich ,   Jerusalem   (10.17.10)
Let's be clear here - the agenda of Hadash, Meretz and the usual culprits who despise Israel and love the likes of Hamas/Fatah/Hezbollah couldn't care less for democracy. In fact, they are anti-democratic goons who prefer operating through their non-elected speres of influence like the Supreme Court, academia, news media and the arts. And when they inevitably fail to convince anyone sane of their agenda, they agitate through their allies in the UN and EU. What a miserable lot of fascists.
42. 24 Schreiber
Dave   (10.17.10)
Those are the type of Jews that bring respect and admiration to the state of Israe and Jews in general. Thos are the type of Jews the term light onto the nations apply to. Those are the type of Jews who exercise much higher IQ than average and you certainly seem below average. You see, those are the type of Jews who know it is wrong to be occupy and rule other people. Those are the type of Jews that usually serve in all the elite battle units and know close up the situation on the ground. Those are the type of Jews who realize the presence of 1.5-2 million Palestinians in the WB is not a mere technicality the delusional right wingers seem to think. Those are the type Jews you should be proud of.
43. I'm against fascism too - but this is just a loyalty oath
L. Rose ,   Canada/US   (10.17.10)
Get a grip - these protesters wouldn't know fascism if it walked up to them and introduced itself personally. Ever heard of the Canadian national anthem? It includes words like: 'true patriot love in all our sons command' and 'we stand on guard for thee'... These protesters don't understand what it means to live in a sovereign state.
44. India Pakistan example for jews
muddasar ,   Mumbai, India   (10.17.10)
I feel jews should learn from the division of India Pakistan. If during time of partition you do not get rid of all the arabs, they will grow and multiply and ask for another palestine in a hundred years again. So if there is a partition there should be a complete exchange of population. Israel for jews and Palestine for muslims and christians. I hope Israel does not produce more Gandhis but patriotic jews who will fight for their homeland.
45. What's good for gander is good for goose...
David   (10.17.10)
Transferring Arabs is fascism, but transferring Jews from Judea and Samaria is a wonderful expression of progressive multiculturalism.
46. wrong
shlomy   (10.17.10)
im still trying to understand whats fascism aout pledging alliance with the state of israel?? 2-how can u support any arab MK if his ideology is clearly anti-jewish/israel? 3-go see if you'll get far travling to any muslim state and finding the same egual right's welfare healthcare and security to any "non beliver"/jew shame to how low israeli left has fallen
47. democracy does not require suicide or treason
dante ,   uk   (10.17.10)
the Israeli left is not only devoid of sense but of knowledge about democracy. a democratic state does not have to encourage or tolerate disloyalty and it does not have to commit suicide.
48. # 1
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.17.10)
Its never too late to protest.Gather your buddies & go protest. No invite for me required !!
49. 6000 leftists.
blash ,   Jerusalem   (10.17.10)
So there's only 6,000 die-hard leftists left in this country. Even if you multiply the number by 10, and say that for every person who showed up, nine people couldn't... you only have 60,000 people who are against this bill. Even if you multiply by 100 to signify the entire Left instead of just the hard-Left, you only have 600,000 people out of the 7,000,000 Jewish voters in Israel. That's a pretty sad turnout and indicative of a great future for Israel. ZIonism is alive and well!
50. 36. Transfer means........
Ari ,   Romania   (10.17.10)
Swaping certain portions of territory in order to compensate for the land that is being occupied by the block of settlements (The big Blocks: Ariel,Gush Etzion,etc) But...... Yesterday Abbas "said no transfer or Swaps, no recognition of Jewish State,no negotiation on the refugee problem etc and to finish Israel should recognize a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders with no conditions" I thought the peace talks were for negotiations. It seems that Palestinians want to : Give me everything, and have nothing mmmm. They declared through their arab brothers 4 wars and lost ,2 antifadas and lost. And still Israel has to compensate them after bieng attacked? We lost East Jerusalem during a war in 1948 and they made a Jew cleansing, now in 1967 we recapture Jerusalem. You loose some times and sometimes you win. We lost and nobody cared about the divison of Jerusalem, now that it is in Jewish hands the world is horrorified.(double Standard) Openheimer can go fly a Kite.and all the leftist with him And as for the Israeli arabs they are provoking harm upon them selfs. They want to carry an Israeli ID get all benefits, but remain being Palestinians and loyal to the Palestinian cause..No oath of loyalty to Israel
51. #10 Gregg , YOU'RE WINNER .
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.17.10)
All my respect .
52. that is so odd on other net work the numbers of protestors
ghostq   (10.17.10)
r 600 people only, sound like the data and facts r not accurate. and to call openly like that on prime minister is no different from the called they called right before Rabin assasination.
53. The march of folly -
Eran ,   Singapore   (10.17.10)
the question of 6,000 people protesting israel goverment instead the HAMAS is beyond me, what i can do is to say that - Im not an israeli today. copied from a previous post.
54. Just showing the fifth column
Ilan ,   Ariel   (10.17.10)
Maybe they should march in the direction of Ben Gurion airport. Onwards, upwards, and out of the country they hate.
55. KAHANE WAS RIGHT~!
Yitzhak Simcha ,   NYC - USA   (10.17.10)
I applaud this Bill & May it Lead us 1 Step Closer to a True Torah Government - JEWS ARE: 1) A Book 2) A Land 3) A People * If anyone doesn't like it then leave
56. :: The big lie
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.17.10)
The ones who continually work to destroy Israel's democracy and undermine its every existence now want to blame others for what they themselves do.
57. :: #32 - I didn't see you there, how would you know?
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.17.10)
It was actually a 600,000 Israelis demonstration in support of Sderot but newspapers were afraid to publicize it because the entire 6,000 Leftists and Arabs of Israel threatened to behead the journalists. Some democrats!
58. Dear Right Wing TBers....
(10.17.10)
Please do remember that without left there is no right and without right there is no left... in other words you all chit chat about democracy and freedom and then you melt it all down to democracy and freedom but only the right wing way! What's that about? reminds me of the sentence in Orwell's book Animal Farm -- "Some pigs are more equal than others" In other words Dear Right Wing TBers you can't have it your way only and still have a democracy!
59. idiots...
nadav ,   tlv   (10.17.10)
what's exactly is racist about this law? it does not single out any one race in particular and has NOTHING to do with Arabs since they are already citizens!!! These commies are crazy- why don't they just emigrate themselves! I'm sure North Korea and Cuba would be glad to have them!
60. i'm from Tel Aviv...
nadav ,   tlv   (10.17.10)
i'm also gay and an atheist, yet i am 100% behind the oath law and always vote Likud in all elections. I also attended every rally to support Sderot (and traveled there too!)- and i supported every military initiative against arab terrorism (gaza, lebanon etc). - SO PLEASE DON"T GENERALIZE ABOUT TEL AVIVIANS- Not all of us are brainless, intellectually dishonest traitors!
