who hate israel so should leave or be deported to gaza

Not a tunnel of darkness.

As an ole hadas I work with minimum wage currently and I protest that my paid taxes shall be used to support these so called "artists".

They can do what they want with taxpayer money and have complete freedom to say whatever they want no matter how hurtful, but that right doesn't extend to anyone who thinks differently than they do.

OK we have Rabbis trying to prevent Arabs in Sfat but trying to secretly take over secular areas vs "Intellectuals" who support delegitimatizing Israel. You could not write a soap opera with this stuff.

Naturally anyone who opposes the illegal settlements is branded anti - zionis or a traitor, guess they never heard of democracy before. A pathetic attempt by the right wing goverment and settlers to legitamize settlemts in the occupied terrrotries. Sorry but we just dont buy their right wing propoganda any more, this is tel aviv not Tehran

This same collection of elitist Leftist hypocrites support a Judenrein Palestinian state, has not a word to say about the atrocious treatment of gays, women, & minorities in Muslim countries, never has a word to say about the anti-Semitic & racist incitement in PA education & media, have no problem with the refusal of the PA to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, never condemn Muslim preachers & Imams who preach hatred against non-Muslims, ignores the efforts of of Leftists & Islamists to delegitimize the State of Israel, turn a blind eye to terrorism, & do everything they can to demonize settlers & religious Jews. They reserve all their hysterical ranting & raving only against Israel, the only democratic country in the region. Were they to act like this in any Muslim country, they would be imprisoned, at the very least. But, because this is a free & democratic country, they have the freedom to spout any nonsense they like. But, also because this is a country where we have the right of freedom of speech, I can use that right to call them a bunch of wackos & crackpots, a marginalized bunch of idiots & extremists, & the worst type of hypocrites I have ever seen.

"enlightened"! The country is sick and tired of your free ride out "of the tunnel" on our expence. You are not able to produce anything, except of "opinions", that only harm our country. Get used to the idea that soon all subsidies will be cut. Then we"ll see your real "market value".

Let's have the artists campaign for a quid-pro-quo on both sides of the nationalist fence: The Israelis and Palestinians must match each other in repealing and rejecting racist laws. This means that the artists will demand that both Israel and the Palestinians refrain from legislating laws based on race and that the two sides must match each other's legal precedents. Thus, Israel would not be able to legislate any laws that would prevent Arabs from buying homes in Jewish towns, and Palestinians have to remove the laws that are on their books. Thus, the artists would also demand that the Palestinians remove their law that gives the death penalty to any Palestinian who sells their house to an Jew. The artists would this way show the entire nation that their rejection of racism is universal, and their demands for "peace" with the "Palestinians" be based on mutual acceptance and tolerance.

the spiritual leaders of this Jewish country.

B"H Israel meant to be a country for the Jews, not for the goyim. Artists, go protest to Saudi, UAE, PA etc. parliements against their anti-Jewish legistlations.

My husband and i whole heartily support this article ,and fully agree with what is writtern, its so sad to see this beautiful country come to this.

we have been losing our sanity for years.

These self proclaimed Humanitarians call Rabbis racist while openly advocating the ousting of Ariel citizens from their homes, "Gush Katif Style". Peacenicks or Barbarians?

call off their boycott of Ariel!

Kaniuk told Ynet, "We're not only heading towards a fascist and a semi-Iranian state, we are already half way there." HALF WAY TO SEMI-IRANIAN ? Does it make a quarter iranian or an iranian quarter ? I am lost ... need a map :-)

Arabs, who have the death penalty for selling property to Jews and we certainly do not want to end be being as racist as Arabs.

There's plenty of land on this planet. when we live in the countries of other peoples, they eventually turn on us. we need a place, as small as it is, where we can live as Jews, not as secular open-borders humanists. this needs to include Judea and Samaria. Let the PA have Gaza. Let the Arabs in the West Bank live in any of the Arab/Moslem countries that are in the area covering millions of square miles.

I do not want to live amongst Arabs or muslims, or for that matter Rabbis. All these people have cultures which are different to mine and in many respects are anathema to me. I believe that it is it my sovereign right to conduct my life as I please and in the company of whom I please. On the other hand it is morally wrong to prevent someone taking up residence beside me either by legislation or by threats and pure refusal. This for me is a catch 22 situation and my only out is to leave Israel. By doing so I shall appease my conscience and live with whom I choose. Israel has insurmountable problems and this is one of them.

....they represent the racist majority of people in this country

jews are racists ; isolated from all normal people; empty hollow with nothing but delusions written thousands of years ago

who bring some respect and legitimization to Israel. The term light to the nations refers to them. Characters like you are dime a dozen in the shuck where they belong. Every word out of you is an insult to the term Jew.

Was that they had previously supported moves by the Arab MKs and Imams of the Galilee and Safed to restrict the ability of Jews to move into "Arab only" cities in the North! Their argument was that allowing Jews to live there "diluted the cultural integrity of the Arab communities and must be restricted at all expense." The traditional left wing interpretation of quality for all.

They, their sons, and family shall go to live with terrorrists- and intermarry with them- they shall be forgotten within the people of Israel - AMEN

The Torah is clear, the land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. It seems to me, the rabbis are saying it is forbidden to sell property in Israel to non-Jews. If renting to a non-Jew will mean disturbing those next to him, then one should not rent to a non-Jew. For me personally, if a non-Jew loves Israel and he or she believes the land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel, I have no problem renting (not selling) property in Israel to a non-Jew. In today's piece, Prof. Shenhar said: "Imagine a university in a certain country, let's say Germany, and a priest forbidding the residents from renting out apartments to Jews....." The following, from an October 28, 2010 YNet piece: "Selling a house or land in Israel to anyone who is not Jewish is forbidden, Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef said during a Thursday morning halacha lesson. "The rabbi cited the halacha as saying that the property should be sold to a Jewish buyer, even if he offers a lesser amount for it...." I got the impression from this piece that if, "the resident will disturb the lives of those living next to him," then he should not rent to a non-Jew. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3976568,00.html I cannot see a problem renting to a non-Jew who loves Israel; who believes the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people by right.

Why are these jews so surprised about other jews not wanting to rent houses to non-jews. We Arabs have done the same, do the same today and will continue to the same against jews. We don't want you, "leftists" (or "rightest"), living among us ANYWHERE in Palestine. Surprise!

Who wants to listen to these lunatic ideas. I would rather listen to the great Rav Ovadia Yosef and other Rabbis than to listen to this dribble from these PSI (Pseudo Sophisticated Idiots). If they love the Arabs so much, we will be glad to deport them to Gaza but first tell me how many of these idiots have an Arab neighbor???
