Kipkip ,   Japan   (01.26.11)
Jewish director Darren Aronofsky should have said that one can not ban entire nation over its trying to survive !!
4. you are wrong in your thinking sir.
Golan ,   Modiin   (01.26.11)
Israelis elected their government and have time and time again voted against the Oslo mistake. We should be judged by our collective decisions. That is what a society is. Saying this I also demand that our detractors be judged as a collective when speaking about them as a collective. For instance: Not every Arab is a terrorist nor do all Arabs support terrorism. However as a society they honor terrorists, support terrorism, and excuse terrorism. Their heroes are terrorists and their leaders are terrorists or financially back terrorists. Leftists/anarchists/communists/fascists all "criticize" Israel for her existence not her actions or they would have to be more veracious in their criticism of Arab regimes of Europeans military actions conducted against the Serbs. They would also praise Israel for its secular laws, her treatment of gays and minorities and would point out that while no Arab country or entity has Jews serving in their military, Israel has Arabs in high command positions in the IDF. So if one is to boycott Israel and Jews for not being perfect, certainly they should also boycott Arabs and their supporters for being... how shall we say? less than normal?
5. #4 Excellent remark Golan!

6. If I were Israeli I would've felt insulted. Hell, I am
leo ,   usa   (01.26.11)
insulted.

Israel is a democracy and Israel's leaders are exactly the people whom Israelis want. Implying that people and government are not one is like implying that people of Israel are too stupid to have government they want.

Darren, you are either for boycott or you are against it. Israel is not dictatorial state. Spare me your lame excuses. Say it like you mean it.

7. I don´t like damaging Israel
Ivan ,   Haifa   (01.26.11)
but we haven´t another way to fight the palestinian opression, u are against violence,u are against peaceful protests, u are against boycott, when we go to your courts they say we are right but the army refuses to follow it´s orders, so what can we do to express our oppossition to Israel´s actions?.
8. The actions of the Israeli Govt are just, correct and right.
JMK ,   NYC   (01.26.11)

11. #3, 4, et al
nr ,   los angeles, usa   (01.26.11)
I agree. To say it's government actions that are the problem, not the Arab attempts to destroy the Jewish people is a cop out. Better he said nothing at all.
12. #7: vote with your feet, go to Iran.
Genuine Moshe   (01.26.11)
