61. Response to#30
John R ,   NYC USA   (03.15.11)
Treason is by definition either firing on your own troops or passing state secrets. What Gideon Levy did was to pass on something that is hardly secret. He told the truth. Jonathon Pollard would be an example of a traitor. Is free speech something Israel no longer supports? Someone should tell the High Court.
62. #3 Arrest the bastard!

63. I wish our pr was half as good as he says.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (03.15.11)
Seems to me it's pretty obvious that he does not know what he's talking about when we are the ones being "dehumanised".
64. To John R # 21
FO ,   Belgium   (03.15.11)
Dear Sir, having read what the author of UN resolution 242, Prof. Eugene Rostow, Dean of the School of Law of Yale wrote about this subject, having read "Israel and Palestine - Assault on the Law of Nations" by Prof. Julius Stone, having read "Legal Rights and Title of Sovereignty of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel and Palestine under International Law, by attorney Howard Grief, having read all this, I'm sorry to tell you that your "expertise" on this subject does not seem in common value with theirs. Conclusion: Israel keeps the irrevocable right to settle anywhere in the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, a right unaltered in International Law, and valid to this day. Accept it or don't, dear Sir, it is up to you !

67. To No. 22
john ,   cardiff   (03.15.11)
You have shown the same courage and honesty as expressed by Gideon. He is in Israel and u are in USA but both have similar views. It is people like Gideon who will be honoured by Israel and International media but only after a very long time.

MR.Levy some time thr truth heurts
72. # 29 Keren
Roberto Rosenthal ,   Morumbi - SP   (03.15.11)
You should be thanking him for helping the image of Israel, your idiot. Why dont you shut up and try to salve what remains of Zionism? This guy is truly a hero, a real Zionist.
73. Chosen People
Thomas ,   US   (03.15.11)
’Ye (Muslims) are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind...’’ Surrah 3:110 "No Muslim should be killed for killing a kaffir (infidel)." - Mohammed, Hadith vol 9:50 "’I have been ordered to fight with people till they say, none has the right to be worshipped but allah ‘’ - Muhammed, Hadith 4:196 "’We have sent down to thee the book (Quran) in truth, that thou mightest judge between men, as guided by God." - Surah 4:105 I'm sure these words are humbling for the Muslims.
74. Senior Haaretz writer
Real Gideon ,   USA   (03.15.11)
Pathetic, he reminds me of the hunchback in the movie 300.
75. #11, theres nothing wrong with being an Arab loving Jew
Jake   (03.15.11)
After all, they are our genetic brothers, and our neighbors. However, Gideon Levy and Amira Hass seem to love the Arabs more than they love their own kind. Always blaming their own people for the misfortune of the Arabs in even though it is (a) a lie, and (b) not helping the Arabs in any way.
76. levy
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (03.15.11)
at leats the are some jews who have enough courage to say truth in israel 5 million ,6 billion and choosen ones tells all
77. Gideon Levy
geraldine ,   Galway, Ireland   (03.15.11)
It is very sad that so many israelis are deliberately wearing blinkers, and that the main response from israelis on this site is one of unreasoning hatred and rejection and vilification. There is no willingness to address the point he makes and think about it. The ugly response proves his point.
78. voice your disapproval
Phil ,   Amsterdam   (03.15.11)
In accordance with your democratic, humane values, simply voice your disapproval of this fool. Stop visiting the Haaretz website, and let the weight of numbers tell the story. People power is unstoppable when working together - just ask Hosni. What this fool has done is load the weapons of our enemies - and there are many - and he should see & hear the what his nation thinks about it.
79. #61
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.15.11)
Pollard was tried and not found guilty of treason, have a look at 18USC chapter 15. you FAIL In the US according to 18USC2381: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States...adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000...". Considering Hamas/Fatah reaction to Mr.Levy's writings, he might be considered as giving them aid. you FAIL.
80. Deport Levy
Moshe Halevy   (03.15.11)
Keep the foreign workers and deport this self-loathing crackpot instead. This act borderlines on treason.
81. Levy
Michael Pielet ,   Boca, Usa   (03.15.11)
Levy is the devil reincarnated. Levy=amalak
82. Levy is in Desperate Need of a Psychiatrist
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (03.15.11)
Has a fund been set up to help this man? Jews living and breathing in the Biblical homeland is tyranny? Jewish communities and towns in the Biblical homeland of Judea and Samaria are crimes?
83. Gideon Levy
Moshe ,   Maayan Barukh   (03.15.11)
You should give up your nationality and go to the palestinians,as you have made up your choice,as we are not good enough for you.
84. Chosen for what?
Robert ,   Brisbane Australia   (03.15.11)
If the myth of Jews being the "chosen people" were true your all powerful god would surely lead you in the right direction. What more proof do you need that is a false concept?
85. Gideon Levy is the same fool that said Arafat wanted peace
David Stoler   (03.15.11)
This is why Gideon had a PLO flag. It proves more and more the lefts alliance to Islamic terrorism. http://www.jpost.com/middleeast/article.aspx?id=189574 Arafat ordered Hamas attacks against Israel in 2000 KHALED ABU TOAMEH 09/29/2010 Your hero Gideon, Arafat who finances massacres of kids. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1215299/posts Arafat Paid Father of Dolphinarium Terrorist Israel National News ^ | Sep 13, '04 http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/476.htm Arafat's Condolences to Dolphinarium Bomber's Family: The Heroic Martyrdom Operation'…'A Model of Manhood and Sacrifice http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=8&x_nameinnews=109&x_article=246 Maslama Thabet, leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades admits all orders to kill Israeli civilians comes from Arafat.
86. ALL MY RESPECT TO YOU!
YOAV ,   TEL AVIV   (03.15.11)
IT'S NICE TO SEE SOMEONE DARE TO SPEAK OUT AND SAY THE TRUTH. I HOPE ALL OF US UNDERSTAND THAT. MAY BE THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT PEACE. I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO LOOK AT THE MIRROR.
87. #77 Pro-Palestinian Hatred
Phil ,   Ireland   (03.15.11)
My experience in Ireland is that the pro-Palestinan groups are so full of hatred for Israel that they won't allow the other side speak freely. I have been called a child killer and scum just because I support Israel, and this from people who don't know me. So before you point the finger at this site for hatred, point it at those pro-Palestinian groups in Ireland who do not respect the other point of view. We all have a right to express our opinions.
88. # 21
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.15.11)
You havent learnt much from your Israeli born wife. It is of no consequence to the everyday Israeli that 162 countries dont have their embassies in Jerusalem, that our country, Israel, is the 4th most hated country in the world etc, etc. Are you so blind & dumb not to realize if Israel vacates Judea & Samaria Israel will be targeted non-stop by palestinian missiles?? not to mention random Jew killings by the arabs who want the land( they never owned) returned.. How do you expect us Jews to trust the pallies after the recent atrocious murders of a sleeping family in the yishuv of Itamar on Saturday night? including all the other atrocities committed against us since the birth of our State. Dont you realize that the pallies' dream is to take over the entire land of Israel? It is written in their charters, they don’t hide it either. Wake up John & stop believng their crappy propaganda machines. Thanks for the advice, but no thanks. Israel needs to stand her ground & grow a few....
89. # 72
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.15.11)
Roberto, you have no right to call Keren # 29, an idiot. Neither do you have the right to tell her to shut up. Keren is voicing her opinion exactly as you are in your post. Shame on you.
90. #73
Nancy ,   Belgium   (03.15.11)
You can do that with the Torah as well. All these ancient "religious" books have these "thou shalt kill ..." lines in them. It is not just in islam.
