dont let this fool talk, we need to ignore them
32. Matan Cohen
sarah ,   canada   (11.09.10)
I think he's right! Blind loyalty to Israel or any place or ideal is never a good thing - Yes, the holocaust happened, and that was heinous, but there have been just as heinous crimes committed against other races that are current, that are happening now. Israelis didn't seem to learn anything from how they were treated during the holocaust, because they are behaving exactly like their oppressors - can't possibly sympathize with that!
33. #7
horst ,   ge   (11.09.10)
Yup that what the brown shirts said after a day of beating up Jews.

pete ,   us   (11.09.10)
ugh what a nasty debased comment. straight from the bottom of the latrine where you post
35. Another Brainwashed Kid
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.09.10)
This young man, and others like him, really believe the propaganda they spout. It's because they've been fed this nonsense since they were young. They aren't old enough to have experience remove the blinkers from their eyes.
36. #14 - G-d wins in the End
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.09.10)
37. anarchist moron
albert ,   san diego, ca.   (11.09.10)
Israel should hand over to Hamas all of these diminutive rejects in return for Gilad Shalit, a True Jew.
38. He is no longer Jewish or associated with Judaism
Golani ,   Vineland, USA   (11.09.10)
They are similar to Naturei Karta, who are no longer Jews because they go against everything Jewish. They endanger Israel and the Jewish people. They themselves are responsible for the deaths and pain of Jews, so there is nothing Jewish about them. They must be a real embarrassment to his families.
39. To Iran # 3 Remember what Iran did to Neda Agha-Soltan!
Mikey ,   SomeWhere OverHere   (11.09.10)
40. He is a rotten creature who should have been aborted prior
Frank ,   USA   (11.09.10)
to birth. That is what the Kapo Jews were maid of. Israel is the only democracy surrounded by the hostile dictatorial Arab states. He should heckle Mubarak in Cairo and we will see where he ends up.
41. the orgasmic fantasy for peace of a disillusion leftist mind
Alexander ,   NJ, USA   (11.09.10)
What exactly is he protesting against? I mean who in their right mind is not for peace. Of course we all want peace, but we are not willing to make deals that will not be kept or deals that will only make matters worse. What benefit is there for the Arabs to have a state that continues to repeat the same message - the Jews are evil, they are occupiers, they are colonist, they are not Jews, we will resist until all of Palestine (Israel) is free from the Zionist entity etc. Extreme leftist like this dope head are the biggest obstacle to the very thing that they seek most "lasting peace that recognizes the rights of both." Lasting peace doesn't mean giving into Palestinian demands and if you want to talk about the rights of both then what about the rights of Jews? Do the Jews not have the rights to the land of our ancestors? What about our rights to live free of the hatred that Arabs have for us? Is it our fault that we have to put walls around them to prevent them from coming into our neighborhoods and killing our children? This kid is a dummy, and all his activism only hurts people more than it helps. It took the British and French hundreds of years and millions dead after numerous wars to finally achieve a lasting peace. Peace takes time peace is not a feeling and it can only happen when the Arabs stop their libeling of Zionism and antisemitism. He's clearly out of touch with reality when he accuses that the American Jewish youth is "distancing themselves from the community, which expects their blind loyalty to Israel." No community expects blind loyalty, Jews always question things and that's part of what makes us Jewish, we never stop questioning things and we never have blind loyalty. Everyone one of us has valid reasons for why we support Israel even if most of us don't agree with Israeli policy 100% of the time. We are Jews and we love Israel, it is our home even when we are living in Diaspora. We want good things for the country we live in and for Israel.
42. His Crys of INSANITY are Apparent
George Papal ,   Canada   (11.09.10)
These people were nothing short of being degenerates looking to make a name for themselves and has nothing to do with the pals. Note that they know FULL WELL that if they were to stumble into, lets say hammas, Syria, Lebanon, iran or any other muslim ruled country THEY WOULD BE DEAD WITH THEIR HEADS CUT OFF. Degenerates looking for FAME at democratic peoples expense SHAME ON THE KIDS and wheres the stupid PARENTS, put them in JAIL too
43. A total fiasco by the organizers
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (11.09.10)
The organizers should have been prepared for such event, and should have known in advance which people not to allow into the lecture. They should have made lists of all potential troublemakers (masada2000's S.H.I.T. list is a good place to start), and should have conditioned the entry to the lecture only with a presentation of a certified ID - just like passport security checks in airports. This way pests like Matan Cohen would have been filtered at the entry.
44. #3 - he is no Jew, sorry
Eyal ,   USA ISRAEL   (11.09.10)
Most Jews and Israelis are going more right for your information. This is why we have a right Government. The next government will be even more right. So the idiot you are so proud of is simply a minority idiot with no meaning of his roots. I only wish he saw what it was like leaving by dictator in your country?
45. without israel jews like him will be slaughtered everywhere.
mira ,   israel   (11.09.10)
stupid american jews who think that the good life will last forever. american christian on the other hand are more loyal to israel then many american jews.
46. The young and real life.
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.09.10)
Regretfully I have to agree with young Matan. It is necessary to bring out into the open that the delegitimization occurring around the world is in large part our own fault :(
47. I would have probably done the same
(11.09.10)
...only if I thought that Israel was not in danger. But true jews and tue humanists, normal people know that Israel is on a daily basis threatened and still has fight to remain independent in this region. And as long as I would see that our people remains threatened, such actions as he did, is clearly not right. This is treason in tough time like we live. Such actiuons he did, reminds me of WWII and the Kapos. They are working against their own people whereas our enemis hate us all. He (this stupid guy on the picture), me and all of us. But, I will do the same the first minute Israel would stop being threatened.
48. That bloke was injured by a stone thrown at him, not by a bu
Bat Zion ,   Centre, Israel   (11.09.10)
bullet He appeared on the telly then, and told Rafi Reshef his eye was hit by a rubber bullet, but the footage clearly showed that he was hit by a stone, probably by one of the protesters / rioters who were near him
49. to 9 mini
yusra   (11.09.10)
a mad man threw a stone in a well .1000 men can not get it out .. it is about the noumber
50. Loyalty to G-d, not to Israel.
Danny Maccabee ,   Vancouver, Canada   (11.09.10)
Loyalty to a nation without knowing the path its leaders will take has necessary limits; otherwise, it is blind loyalty. Loyalty to The Almighty is not blind because He has already shown us the way. It is up to us to follow Him.
51. Broad statements are a one-man survey
David Hersch ,   South Africa   (11.09.10)
I learned long ago that statements such as "Many young Jewish Americans are distancing themselves from the community..." are more opinion and what is know as a one-man survey. This young and hugely inexperienced man is merely refelecting his own opinion and that of the limited social circle he moves in. He has just had his fifteen minutes of infamy and in time, hopefully, his actions will shame him and hang like a millstone around his neck.
52. to #44 *~* you r contradicting yourself
ghostq   (11.09.10)
if most votes go to the right wing than he is no longer minorityt, duuuuuuuuh
53. until the Palestinians renounce terror.
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (11.09.10)
Looks like forever - as Islam does not allow for peace. This Jewish child… is just that, a child. Uneducated and just another poor soul blinded by the facts on the ground. I support self defence. Palestinians support self occupation. If Palestinians chose peace, we would have peace
54. People of very low intelligence, easily influenced
Avi ,   Geneva   (11.09.10)
They think they know better, because they lack the intelligence to know better. As Solomon said, woe to us when a fool thinks he is wise! They imagine themselves innovators, while in fact they are utterly conventional, influenced by every passing fashion peddled by the media. They think they are being independent, whereas in fact they are doing it all to look good in the eyes of their peer groups, in order to belong and be admired in them - herd mentality. They seek attention, they are vain. They are willing to sacrifice others for their vanity. They do not think about causes and effects. They pretend to care for the weak, but in fact harm the innocent. they are unjust, unfair, ignorant, immoral. That's the anti-Israel crowd.
55. Bad Journalism
EM ,   Ra'anana   (11.09.10)
He is allowed to protest and express his opinions. YNET should not put up a picture of him from 2006 when he was wounded...certainly not in the headline, which gives the impression that he was wounded for heckling Netanyahu.
56. He should be excommunicated!
ezer   (11.09.10)
57. No.55
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (11.09.10)
agree! Its misrepresentation and misleading
58. He is part of a very small minority of Israelis/Jews
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (11.09.10)
He doesn't speak for the majority of Israelis.
59. Funny how liberals won't let other's talk. Such democracy!
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (11.09.10)
Those who disturb other's right to speak, forfeit their rights to speak or even be present. Funny how they are the ones always accusing the others being undemocratic. Liberalism really is a mental disease, as Michael Savage says.
60. "Human rights", indeed!! The right of a Jew to be, to live
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.09.10)
is the first of all human rights. Yet, some question whether Jews are humans all together - read the Quran please!! - and whether Jews deserve to have the first of all of human rights: the right to live and to defend one's life...
