1. Boycott of Sabra Hummus
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.27.10)
And while you are at it, why not boycott your computers, etc., as all these technological gadgets have Israeli parts inside them.
2. Palestinians have rights to go back to their country Jordan
Alexander ,   NJ, USA/Israel   (11.27.10)
Why are the Palestinians living in Israel? They live only a few minutes from Jordan, it wouldn't be the most challenging thing to send them back to their country would it? We can provide buses for them and we can pay for their property here and help them establish a new life in Jordan where they can live without the "Zionist entity."
3. NO such thing as "palestinians"!
Jordan = Fakestan   (11.27.10)
on March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said: The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan
4.  Students turn off your computers
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat   (11.27.10)
Microsoft and Intel serve the occupation. Don't forget to give up your cell phone too.
5. Sabra Humus is good stuff
Ron ,   OC, USA   (11.27.10)
I buy it all the time. And, if it supports Israeli soldiers, I'll buy some more of it.
6. To do list
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (11.27.10)
Tonight I go to my regular supermarket and buy Sabra Hummus, Sabra eggplant salad and Sabra oriental salad.
7. Jordan = palestine
dave ,   uk   (11.27.10)
8. to 2 Alexander
tiki ,   belgium   (11.27.10)
They WANT the 'Zionist entity....but without the 'Zionists!
9. "Occupation", when dubbed in Arabic, means...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.27.10)
...Jewish political independence anywhere between the River and the Sea, thus the Hebrew city of Tel-Aviv is located in "occupied Palestine", as is the Hebrew town of Rehovot, the home of the Weizmann Institute, as is Zikhron Ja'aqov, Rishon L'zion, Ein Harod, Metulah, Kibbutz Sarid and Kibbutz Mishmar Ha'emeq. It is time, high time indeed, to rip off the Arabs' cover over their faces in their use of English vs. Arabic languages and what they actually mean: The demise of the tiny nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, and with it the people whose nation-state Israel is.
10. a boycott on israel is support for islamic terrorists
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.27.10)
this helps everyone to know where these self-righteous, fascist people stand.
11. Sabra Hummus
hussein ,   USA/Palestine previo   (11.27.10)
You too can go back to Poland or Ukraine or better yet exotic Ethiopia
12. Humus
Ezra ,   Florida   (11.27.10)
And when you finally eat it, I hope you chalk on it.
13. why it's called "Sabra"?!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.27.10)
do you have Shatila- foul too?!! heartless people .
14. The truth about Princeton hummus
Ariel ,   Center   (11.27.10)
This is just hilarious! recommend you read the conversation between the initiator of this "boycott" and a guy named David Schutz on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167912843230487 Schutz breaks the boycott arguments one after another. such a joke. (it seems there is already an alternate Hummus sold on campus, it's just "uneatable").
15. Wish we could boycott terror, the only arab product
Yonatan   (11.27.10)
See what you get from affirmative action.
16. Best Hummus
Ariel ,   Argentina   (11.27.10)
Sabra Hummus is great. In all its forms. I feel sorry for these hypoccrites...
17. princeton boycott of sabra
david goldberger ,   cooper city ,fl   (11.27.10)
If STUDENTS AT PRINCETON STUDIED HISTORY THEY WOULD KNOW THAT IT WAS THE JORDANIAN ARMY THAT OCCUPIED THE AREAS ISRAEL NOW CONTROLS. MAYBE JEWS SHOULD BOYCOTT PRINCETON.
18. #13
Texan   (11.27.10)

19. Sabra boycott
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (11.27.10)
Although this boycott move is a small step, in goes in the right direction. It is heartening to see the boycott-divestment-sanctions movement spread; slowly, perhaps, but solidly. What starts at Princeton will spread nationwide at a steady pace. Keep up the good work!
20. Time for a Counter: Buycot
emanon ,   USA   (11.27.10)
Sabra is my favorite. That's all I'm going to buy for lunch, every day! Oh yeah, their hummus is great with Israeli Tzim-Tzim crackers too.
21. Sabra is owned by Pepsico
Natan ,   USA   (11.27.10)
Sabra is owned by Pepsico. Pepsico knows a good product when they see one!!! When are you going to stop with this ridiculous boycutt??? If you are to boycutt all Israeli\Jewish products you might as well go back to the dark ages!!!!
22. Response to #13: No, but...
Farid ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (11.27.10)
No my friend, there is no Shatila product produced by Israel. From beginning to end, that was totally produced by your Christian Arab and neighbors under the command of General Hadad!
23. to #13 - GET A LIFE!
(11.27.10)
Isn't there anything else for you to do other than creating terrorist-supporting talkbacks in Ynet?
24. Great ad for Sabra....!
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.27.10)
25. #18 Texan
Yossef ,   Toronto/Rehovot   (11.27.10)
I don't know why I feel the need to defend Salma everywhere in these talkbacks. Maybe a feeling of guilt? Anyway. Salma is not heartless she just loves her people more than she loves us. It is easily understandable even if it is sad for the ones who love her, Texan :-) I don't know Salma, but I have thought to arabs female students and they are in general smart and interesting, more than their brothers. What happened in Sabra-Shatila camp is on our head, we could have avoid this massacre we didn't. On their side OLP and all others DFLP PFLP etc could avoid to kill Jews in school, buses, in dormitories, in night clubs, they didn't. It is about time to make a deal and eat humus together. By the way the best humus I ever eat is from Kfar Qassem. You can find a good humus also in Abu Ghosh. Enjoy! My Gran'Ma used to make her own humus, she was not Arab but Jewish, long time ago, before the today Israel was declared an independent nation by the UN. Humus is not an arab meal, it is a mediterranean meal.
26. #22 (Farid), get your facts straight
Salma, Palestine   (11.27.10)
Farid, you are partly correct. It is not "General Hadad" but "Major Hadad", and it was the Christian Arab commander Eli Hubeika who did the dirty work over two days. But this was simply an ongoing thing (tit for tat) between Arab Christian and Muslims and nothing really to do with jews and israelis invaded Lebanon and were in Beirut and in the area of the Palestinian refugee camps during the time.
27. Good advetising!
Gab's ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.27.10)
Now that I heard about Sabra Hummus, ant that it support our blessed IDF (May hashem protect) I will announce it on my blog to get this wonderful product, arabs in Princeton you don't deserve it, if you ever tried it again you might vanish..... GOD bless ISRAEL and all JEWS Am Israel Hai
28. Yesterday, "graczek" #19 posted a
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.27.10)
comment in favour of North Korea delighting in his prediction that North Korea would emasculate the south. His anti-semitic rhetoric can be found, under his name, only in Haaretz, JPost and, of course, Ynet. It appears that he possesses an unsound mind.
29. #25 Yossef , Because you are my friend ;)
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.27.10)
I'd like to invite you to a lovely Palestinian hummus in Ramallah :)
30. #3 YAWN
Avi ,   london   (11.27.10)
this was in 1977. Go check Naturei Karta's website TODAY 27 Nov 2010, and see how they prove israel is a disgrace to Jews. What's your next hit? Hamas's charter? Hasbara stooges, you 're becoming so predictable!
