31. #18 Leon, #22 Doug
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.04.11)
#18 Leon- They caused their own 'lot'. Look what Hamas did after Israel PULLED OUT of Gaza. Let them acknowledge Israel's right to exist. Israeli tanks and planes (and the wall) are in answer to 'palestinian' terrorism. The arabs look for "justice" for themselves only, and to the devil with history. Facts, however inconvenient. #22 Doug- 1.The arabs rejected the partition and attacked. That canceled the partition plan Facts, however inconvenient. End of story. 2. Most Israelis are from Mizrahi backgrounds. Translation: their families are from arab countries. Facts, however inconvenient.

GOOD ,   USA/IL   (03.04.11)
Do you have a Swastika tattooed on your forehead by any chance? Jews hate anyone who is not a Jew? No, you probably hate everyone who is a Jew, you little insignificant, useless scum.
34. #19 what about all the Islamic republics? Islamic rep of..?!
Muscle god ,   London, England   (03.04.11)
Are they racist too? Or is it just the Jewish state you mean? The Jewish state where African and African refugees choose to come to? Where a small scale Chinatown has grown around South Tel Aviv? Basically Israel - where hundreds of thousands of Asians and Africans chose to come to? All fact, look it up.
35. Agree with #32 great videos #9 !!!

I'm going over for the 2012 olympics, no Iran. Boo hoo
36. #29 World Citizen

Apartheid & Racism? Let me understand. Israel hates being targeted by those who wish to obliterate her from the face of the earth, and will respond to their hostile aggression with overwhelming force to protect her citizens. You condemn them. Israel is the only Mid East country that has a vibrant democracy where people of all religions and ways of life (Arabs, Christians, Moslems, Gays, Black and White) live freely, with representation in government. You condemn them. The Arab countries without exception have few to no Jews living in their lands. Those that do are still mistreated. Homosexuals are subject to execution in Arab countries. You are silent. I ask, who hates whom? You sound to me like you are either a racist zealot looking to sway opinion with propaganda or you are ignorant. I have very little patience for either racism or ignorance. Read a book or two. Educate yourself with the facts. If you are not racist, are rational, and not as stupid as your post makes you appear, you will come away with a different opinion and maybe have the dignity to apologize for your slanderous commentary.
37. Number 12, YOU are an anti-semite.
MP ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.04.11)
Arabs are semites, most jews are white.
38. Aparthied
david j. balint ,   Seattle, USA   (03.05.11)
Yes there is government imposed aparthied. It is in most all Arab lands. Jews in Saudi Arabia?! Libya? Sudan? Even in Arab lands that Jews and Christians still inhabit, their days are numbered. Lebanon?Yemen?Iran? Yes, Carter, their is still aparthied in this world.
39. 19 salma
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (03.05.11)
you truly are ignorant and stupid.If Israel were racist then all the arabs that enjoy the benefits that Israel gives them would be sent where they belong-JORDAN. JD Cairns -Australia.
40. Campus Israel Peace
Pat Carmeli ,   Cazenovia New York   (03.05.11)
The comments suggest that most of your readers just don't "get it". The released Palestine Papers details what the Palestinians were willing to do for peace. The world knows that Israel doesn't want peace, just a larger piece of the whole land. They won't stop until they get it all. The game is up. We're on to you.
41. We want a full investigation of hamas
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.05.11)
and its responsibility over Gaza...asap.
42. student-led?
ralphiesmom ,   Seattle, WA, USA   (03.05.11)
yeah, that is why hillel has a dozen paid staff people at one university.
43. Nice Try, It Won't Fly
Carla ,   NYC   (03.05.11)
You can hold one of these events per week. It won't change minds. Last night Anthony Weiner got almost booed out of an event in NYC when he tried to sell more Israeli lies to a public that knew the facts inside an out. The only people that sided with him were the usual suspects in the audience.
44. Get involved!
Jonathan   (03.05.11)
Contact us if you want the UK schools to join the US, Canadian, and Austalian campuses. Shabbat Shalom!

(03.05.11)
more than thirty islamic arab countries clasify themselves as islamic countries. iran....islamic republic of iran iraq...islamic republic of iraq and i need not mention the other 20 plus islamic states where religion and state are not separate and where they define themselves as islamic states. in all those islamic states, monorities such as christians, bahai, azaerians, kurds, etc... are killed ,maimed and constantly persecuted, churches bombed and idividuals gunned down my islamists in those countries. other islamic states DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO PRCTICE THEIR RELIGION OR HAVE A TEMPLE OF THEIR OWN....saudi arabia, bahrain, uae, etc.... also, no jews are allowed to live in most arab islamic countries. none!!!! and those that do, are persecuted constantly just like christians, azeris, kurds, etc.. you are one to talk!!! wheb i can pray to the jewish god in saudi arabia and the gulf states and can own land in jordan or anywhere in the arab world as a jew, i will take what you say at face value. but, as it stands, it is the arabs and muslims who are racists. israel has 20% arab population that lives with arab rights, arab votes, arab knesset members, arab judges in the supreme court, etc... show me in any arab muslim country where jews hold these positions?israel even has an arab beduin ambassador, you idiot! no, you are fooling others and yorself. israel is not racist. it is not apartheid at all. why can't the jewish people have self determination in their land and biblical historic land and all arabs can have their states islamic and arab???? why not the jews??? you bigot racist pig. you hateful excrement of a human being. so, what's wronf
46. #29, Not exclusively Israel though.Poor students, time waste
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.05.11)
47. #37 MP - Point of Order
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.05.11)
Point of Order: Jews are semites also. Most Israelis are from arab countries.
48. #40 What will Palestinians do for peace?
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.05.11)
Please detail their commitment. They've refused to end terror and continue to fire kassam rockets and bombs at Israel. They will not recognize the Jewish State and actually remain committed to Israel's destruction. They refuse economic cooperation with Israel even when it benefits them. Who is willing to make peace with Israel? Hamas? Absolutely not. Fatah? Erekat resigned and they want to fire Fayyad. Abbas has been planning to retire with one foot out the door for years. They want a one-state solution which consists of Palestine without Israel.
49. #43 Because of rude hecklers in audience
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.05.11)
Carla, we're very familiar with the regular suspects who show up to heckle pro-Israel speakers to prevent others from hearing their views. Those hecklers are too busy being rude to hear the speaker. Booing a speaker out of an event that others came to hear shows how intolerant you are. Nothing to be proud of.
50. 3 things
Eric Goode ,   USA   (03.05.11)
1st, the name is Israel Peace Week for the Israeli side, and the Israel Apartheid Week on the Palestinian side. One promotes peace and the other promotes hatred. 2nd, why are there so many revolutions occurring in the Arab countries right now if there isn't any social injustice happening in those countries. 3rd, For peace with Egypt, Israel returned the Sinai, 98% of the land captured in 1973. Israel gives millions of cubic meters of water to Jordan. As soon as there is a deal on the table that is appropriate, Israel accepts it. However, look at what happened to Sadat who wanted peace, he was assassinated for it. Food for thought.
51. Religious Apartheid
Michael Perloff ,   New Jersey, USA   (03.05.11)
I agree with those who have posted that the response is too mild compared to the vicious slanderous accusations lies and propaganda that are an integral component of Israel Apartheid Week. It ignores that the core issue of the Arab-Israel conflict is not a real-estate but rather the presence of a non-Arab/non-Islam sovereign entity on land previously under Islamic Sharia rule. Arab/Islamic Religious Apartheid has been suppressing the religion and culture of Jews, Berbers, Christians, Kurds, Sikhs, and others across the Middle East and North Africa since the onset of Arab invasions and colonization. Is it not publicized because of a fear of cultural violence and the withholding of oil? The world should be aware of organizations such as the Justice for Jews from Arab Countries and corresponding organizations from other victim groups of Islamic/Arab/Persian supremacy theology. While peace enforced by force lasts only as long as force exists, peace based on truth and justice can endure. Students should consider forming an organization to raise awareness of the persecution and repression of minority religions and ethnic groups most places Arab Muslims govern. How about and organization named Students Against Arab Religious Institutionalized Apartheid – SAARIA? What a quandary for believers in the barbaric Sharia legal code to speak against SAARIA which sounds similar.
52. Please fix the headline. Canada is not in the US...
Tom ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.07.11)
With due respect to my southern neighbours, some credit where it's due. This project was conceived of with Canadian participants, and a university in Canada's capital was one of the founders. Probably worth crafting an accurate headline.
