31. He doesn't have his head in the sand
Ilan ,   Ariel   (02.09.11)
Rather it is been pushed up his ass. If he thinks that it is okey dokey in Egypt is is well too far gone to give anyone advice.
32. Ignorant of history
Andy Mills ,   T Wells, UK   (02.09.11)
"A quarter of a million Jews died because Westminster shut down the escape line. Have they ever apologized for the Struma"? And many millions more were saved because the UK, for a while completely alone, at huge cost stood and fought for freedom. How about thanking us for that?
33. Britain needs to reconquer the ME
Brian ,   USA   (02.09.11)
What a shame that the British were bankrupted by fighting the Nazis in WW2. If Egypt , Iran , Iraq etc were still ruled by Great Britain the world would be a much better place.
34. Mike Carmel --excellent points
Ben ,   Israel   (02.09.11)
the response from talkbackers here is predictably knee-jerk emotional and unhelpful ( like our FM ) -- nice to see at least one rational talkbacker getting involved for a change.

Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (02.09.11)
#20 is directed at you.
36. I'm happy you blocked my comment - thanks

If I had counted to 10 I wouldn't have posted it in the first place. No need to help our enemies... Great day ☺.
37. HO HO Hague
J.Bloom ,   Marbella   (02.09.11)
Could somebody tell this Brits, that time of beeing an Empire is over. In the old days Britain ruled the waves. In our days they hardly can not rule the UK. Mind your own business Mr. Hague.

Britain was bankrupted by fighting the Nazis in WW2. Thats why it's no longer a great power. If they had accepted the generous peace deal offered by Hitler in 1940 they would still have an empire and it would be an ally of the Third Reich. Israel would not exist and Russia would be mostly populated by Germans. The USA would be a racist ally of Germany and Jews would be a non-existant people mentioned in the Old Testament.
39. Hey, what about asking the same from Turkey and El Jazeera?
(02.09.11)
Biased, double-talk, demagogue fools!
40. #26, can you prove anything you say or is just WIND?
(02.09.11)
Instead of preaching to us and exposing your racist ignorance, get the f...k outta here, go to your local mosque and bend over - you'll need those skills pretty soon.
41. blah blah blah William Hague....
jonathan ,   London/ Israel   (02.09.11)
... but let's be frank, Bibi Nethanyahu is certainly no genius either.
42. Hague is a typical british wimp, one of
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.09.11)
those Muslim loving Antisemites who tried to prevent the existence of a Jewish state in the first place... The good news is, that they already got their reward by the establishment of Londonistan...
43. In other words :
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.09.11)
"Israelis" should shut their fat mouths .
44. Israeli's are expert diplomats now?
brett ,   usa   (02.09.11)
maybe you guys NEED advice from countries who have friends and know how to keep them -- diplomacy and PR is not one of your strong points in case you have not noticed.,, geez
45. #34 - nice job "Mike Carmel". You're talking to yourself now
(02.09.11)
Your response here is predictably unhelpful and idiotic (like your Leftist friends) - nice to see one imbecile talkbacker introducing some humor (NOT) into the subject and reminding us that it's not only the Brits doing the demagogy, but some impostors too.
46. #43 in other words (take two):
(02.09.11)
"Balestinians" should wait for their never-existed "country" like... forever, or until they mature enough to care for themselves more than for murdering Jews - whichever comes first. Salma, you are boring and predictable. What about taking your "skills" to Haaretz and show off your hatred and racism there.
47. #42 Chris in Germany
brett ,   usa   (02.09.11)
still sore at the Brits for whipping your ass in WW1 and WW2 Chris? Don't worry , you could always try for a hat-trick..
48. Mr.Hague - Israel is not part of the British Empire anymore!
(02.09.11)
Stick your arrogance and pompous attitude and wisen up! I've never heard you tell China or Russia what to do about their internal or international stances. Maybe size matters, eh? That makes you a foolish coward bully Mr. Hague. Do call us when you wake up from your Muslim stupor. Until then, stick your nose into your own business and excuse us from your "pearls".
49. Israel to UK: Drop arrogant stance towards Israel
(02.09.11)
50. The Brits are the biggest snakes! Beware!
Jason   (02.09.11)
Hague hates Jews!

Well said that man! My parents were there too.........
52. Foreign rioters took over in Egypt
Seppo ,   Finland   (02.09.11)
There is plenty of proof that Egyptian demonstrators were happy with Mubarak's proposals of developments and were ready to stop demonstrations. But after a few days appeared brand new rioters speaking accent which was not Egyptian, everybody having similar mobile phone. The problem is US and EU who want that all the requirements of these foreigners should be heard and followed. The West is now supporting similar Mullah take over in Egypt which Carter forced in Iran 1979. The West should let Mubarak to take care of his country. With his demands to Egypt Obama raised new obstacles for any peace talks. How much Israel can trust Obama after having seen how easily America throws out an old ally which Mubarak has been.
53. 48 Israel never was part of the British Empire
brett ,   usa   (02.09.11)
if it was, it would be a member of the Commonwealth along with all the other countries which were once in the empire. It's interesting that so many countries proudly choose to retain this link of fellowship to other members of the old empire, including Britain herself. Many countries all around the world still freely choose the Queen of England as their head of state.
54. Andy Mills #32
British Zionist ,   UK   (02.09.11)
It is a common misconception thought by many Brits that they are responsible for saving millions of Jewish lives in the Holocaust. This is totally distorted as at the time Britain was fighting the war for its own reasons and not for the Jews. In fact there were many opportunities when the British could have helped stop the genocide including bombing areas near Auschwitz etc. It must also not be forgotten that Jews in there thousands thought in the British army to rid the world of the Nazis. Israel has nothing to thank Britain for and Hague should keep his snooty Foreign Office comments to himself.
55. #38
Bodkin   (02.09.11)
Britain didn't risk life and limb to save the Jews. And if it weren't for Churchill, Britain wouldn't have fought at all. Churchill upbraided his wobbly brethren when they wanted to appease Hitler. Many in fact admired Nazism. At one point Churchill even pleaded with his more hard-hearted countrymen not to block the one escape route the Jews had, namely to then-Palestine. They seemed only too happy to let the Jews perish in the fire. I will concede that Jews (and the world) owe a debt to Churchill. But the attitudes and behavior of the British towards the Jews has been largely disdainful and hostile. Your comments are belied by the fact that, while the Brits were fighting the Nazis, they were preventing Jews from escaping it. It seems more accurate to say that the Jews survived in SPITE of British enmity, as they did yet again in 1973, when the Brits tried to prevent Israel from receiving urgent help.
56. Hague is the UK's Islamo-Leftist counterpart of Lieberman
(02.09.11)
They should meet and shake hands! Maybe there will be an explosion and they will cancel each-other - LOL!
57. I just came back from JNF meeting in NewportBeach
Mark ,   USA   (02.09.11)
We were giving helping hand to plant more trees in Israel, and we discussed that Israel and its current leaders are doing more damage to Israel than any other before, Lieberman is not a diplomat, and More and more Israel is been isolated, and no matter or all the money in the World or all the political backing US gives us eventually Israel will find itself more isolated and this Turkish Israel siplit will have grave remifications for both country if it is not fixed, Israel is acting very Arrogant like a spoiled child and in USA there are talks to cut aid to Israel and its gaining momentum among Americans, time to find some young Jews to take over this country from these old thugs of liars,
58. 400,000 RussianJews?Are they? Really?
Mark ,   USA   (02.09.11)
Has anyone checked their backround information, thse RussianJews wanna be's are not Jres they claim to be one to come to Israel to gain benefits and start their illiagal activities such as drugs and women trade amoung others are not the best supportrs of Lieabeman the big mouth thug
59. #47, brett, The Germans got what they
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.09.11)
deserved in WW1 and WW2...they were evil then and are not much better now... That`s not my problem...so WHAT`S your point...??? By the way do not be disturbed by the fact, that I live in Germany...this is meaningless...
60. #55 Chamberlain declared war NOT Churchill
(02.09.11)
Churchill was not the PM until 1940...Chamberlain declared war on Germany in September 1939, after Hitler ignored his ultimatum to withdraw from Poland.
