3. Apartheid ended in S. Africa, and now it isn't safe for ...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.15.10)
...anyone. If your Israeli and still fail to see the complexity of the situation, why don't you protest by giving up your Israeli citizenship and move to Eurabia. I'm sure there's a bunch of "academics" out there that would love to have you.
4. What this article didn't tell you
Gabor Frankl   (11.16.10)
basically that "Coalition of Womanfor Peace" is emphatically NOTa "leftist" group. It's a group of "women" (mostly middle-aged lesbians) who fervently want todestroy and eradicate Israel at all costs. American undercover star-reporter Lee Kaplan busted this bunch through his private surveillance in secret meetings in California. They definitely WANT to destroy Israel. They - and many others - get their funding from abroad and return all this by inciting against Israel's very right to exist sounding off repugnant and despicable lies like the here cited apartheid-lie. These people are dangerous and must be stopped.
5. Apartheid????
aline silverman ,   israel   (11.15.10)
Don't these people know the meaning of the word Apartheid ????
6. I Fully Support Apartheid From Terrorist and their supporter
Truth seeker ,   US   (11.16.10)
Who doesn't!?
7. There IS apartheid in Israel
BH ,   Iowa   (11.16.10)
Ask any Jew who wanders into an arab neighborhood of tries to build a toolshed.
8. Left wing problem
Proud Jew ,   USA   (11.16.10)
You are right. If the left wingers don't like Israel, then they must go back to Europe. Many of the left wingers are from the former soviet union. Many of the immigrants are either non Jews or have little or no link to being "Semitic". I think it's time for them to go back. And what apartheid are they talking about?? Until 1990, 70% of Jews in Israel were Mizrahi Jews until the Russians came. Mizrahi Jews were forced to leave their lands and lived in Arab society as second class citizens. What apartheid are these ignorant left wingers talking about? Give me a break.
9. There is no Apartheid anymore....
William ,   Israel   (11.16.10)
That phenomenon is South Africa has ended years ago, and nothing like it exists in Israel. One note for the Leftists who can't seem to read a dictionary - Apartheid is against an ethnic group who are citizens of the country. "Palestinians" are not Israeli citizens, and Israeli Arabs enjoy equal rights. My guess is some Israeli Arabs were enjoying their equal rights right there in the Leftist protest, as tehy protested against "apartheid". Idiots.
10. Apartheid
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.16.10)
The people of south Africa are longing for the apartheid regime.
11. These leftists are not funny
Israeli 2   (11.16.10)
They are sickos filled with hatred towards Israel.
12. Confusing Israel with S. African apartheid means they didn't
Yaniv ,   Israel   (11.16.10)
learn about real apartheid and it's like they committing it.
13. These leftists make me sick
david ,   cape town,RSA   (11.16.10)
14. The bizarre Apartheid of the UNRWA
Egon B.E. Friberger ,   Brussels, Belgium   (11.16.10)
Those protesters certainly can find enormous relief in finding out that, on the UNRWA website, Israel and her "Apartheid" is already wiped of the map. Optically, the map already anticipates two separate ("aparte") states, Gaza and West Bank. What's not on the map is the bizarre privilege ("apartheid") of a specific relief agency, for Palestinians only, for very moderate, largely self-inflicted suffering compared to that of India’s or Pakistan’s refugees at their times, and to that, until today much more severe, of black Africans. Truly geopolitical Apartheid in the core of the UN business.
15. William's had the best line... culture is ment to bridge!

16. y am i reading this nonsense?
Dov ,   detroit, usa   (11.16.10)
these groups are striving on publicity and if not for media their acts would go unnoticeable and we would never find out names of these seven-eleven kids. i like "anarchists against the Wall" punks , i also think that Joseph Stalin would punctuate that name differently, something like - "Anarchists?! Against the Wall!"
17. #8, Proud Jew:" many of left wingers are from
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (11.16.10)
former Soviet Union.."?. What an ignarant tack back. Make a homework.
18. to #8 you wrong, most Israeli lefties
ghostq   (11.16.10)
r natives who ungreatful for what they got, since they never faced antisemitism outside of Israel, they never encounter neu nazis rades, or muslims rallies, if they only lived in Frence or ukrain or uk they would have never meet the evil face of antisemitism. sadly they r willing to secrefy their own people.
19. "right wing protestors"?
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (11.16.10)
So, waving an Israeli flag and opposing boycotts makes you a "right-wing protestor"? Dear ynet editors, you have just tagged over 90% of Israeli Jews as "right wing". (2nd attempt...)
20. Tel Aviv opera
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (11.16.10)
Ask these imbecilic protesters what exactly is Pogy and Bess about and why the so called boycott about a Negro community in rural USA ?
21. Stop funding culture
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.10)
Israel's "cultural institutions" want to boycott the Right-wing. Israel's Left want to boycott the "cultural institutions" because they represent apartheid. Let's save the money wasted on the "cultural institutions"
22. Deport them
Brod ,   USA   (11.16.10)
Leftists who do not know the GOD of Israel and the Land of Israel and are disloyal to Israel are fake Jews. They should be detained to undergo reeducation on Israel's History and the Bible or be deported to where they came from.
23. to #21 good idea, as long as you got money
ghostq   (11.16.10)
you will have to make a showes that cost thousands of dollars, oh well petrons of the art you can find anywhere, just hope it wont be patrons with malic intentions like the people who support Bezelem.
24. Suppress leftist treason!!
Yoram ,   Paris   (11.16.10)
Now~
25. #21 - culture is wasted on the Left
William ,   Israel   (11.16.10)
Sadly, the group that leasts appreciates culture and open society are those who claim they are for it. These Leftists calls for harsh boycotts of culture and academics in Israel yet claim to support the bridge-building role of academics and culture. Talk about cutting off one's nose to spite their face.
26. #22 - why deport them? They're fun to have around
William ,   Israel   (11.16.10)
If we just treat Leftists for what they are - comic reliefs - they become inert. It is the same with a 2-year-old child. If they see that an action gets a reaction, they will do it ad nauseum. So instead of getting angry at the convoluted logic and racist agendas of the Leftists, just ridicule them. Laugh at them. Go to such protests with pictures of them dressed in clown outfits. After all, they are just spoiled children who demand their own way on everything without living a day in the real world. Sadly, this is the generation we are producing in Western countries - brats full of entitlement.
27. Leftists chant 'stop Apartheid'
Ahmad Yaqeen ,   Toronto Canada   (11.17.10)
The "leftists" and professional Israel bashers are misguided at best and dysfunctional at worst. If this was about human rights than these left wing protestors would make a case for how "Palestinians" are treated by their Arab brethren. The fact is that "Palestinians" are kept as refuges by their Arab brethren in the largest part of "Palestine"- Jordan - Syria and Lebanon. Why are there no protests in Jordan? Because Jordanians kill first and answer later...if ever.ergo Black September! Asked how he felt about Kuwait’s brutal ethnic cleansing of 450,000 Palestinians between 1990-2010 and the right of Palestinians in the Arab Middle East : Palestinian "author " Khalid Amayreh answered : From: amayreh@p-ol.com Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:33:40 +0300 "Kuwait had the right to do it. Palestinians belong to Palestine, not to Kuwait. Every Arab country has the right to expel its Palestinians. They don't belong there. Pure and simple." Khalid Amayreh
28. Changing Israeli Society
Proud Jew ,   USA   (11.18.10)
Israel did not have these left wing problem so much, until recently. Today, many Israelis have problem pledging allegiance to Israel as a Jewish State. Why do you think the Israeli society has changed a lot for the past 20 years? There are cultural problems and religious problems between Mizrahi and Ashkanazi Jews. There a Nazi sympathizers beating Jews on subway in Israel. Look at the demographic changes taking place. About 1 million Russian "Jews" have migrated to Israel. Among them 300,000 don't consider themselves as Jewish and the rest call themselves as "secular". I'm not saying that Russian migration is wrong but there is something wrong or something "NON SEMITIC" about all this. That's what I feel.
