K ,   US   (04.12.11)
give me a break, this makes Israel look pathetic, he is hated in the west outside of the teeny bopper girls
3. well I am glad ....
shadoil ,   jerusalem   (04.12.11)
the PM has so much time to meet with this obviously very important world figure. Nothing like priorities.
4. who cares
the pretty boy ,   tel aviv   (04.12.11)
so what if he says the shema before he goes on stage, bieber's a fad that will disappear. why is netanyahu wasting his time meeting with bieber? use your spare time to meet with residents in sderot
5. JB booked 4 hotels
Yu Lee ,   Sydney Australia   (04.12.11)
4 hotels were booked not to avoid us fans who love him dearly, but to avoid the PAPARAZZI who are rudely invading his privacy !!!
6. Maybe no one else wants to meet with Bibi - I don't
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (04.12.11)
Most pop stars do fade away. A pity prime ministers don't! Who wants Bieber? Actually, who wants Bibi?
7. Thanks for coming to Israel!
Israel ,   Israeli   (04.12.11)
We are sooooooooooo happy you are here!!! Can't wait till Thursday night! :-)
8. There will not be a meeting with PM Netanyahu -
dartagnan   (04.12.11)
There will not be a meeting with PM Netanyahu - since the young boy doesn't want to meet with the children from Shderot who suffer from the bombing "gaza " ! Poor Justin - Shame !
9. It's about music, not politics
R ,   Israel   (04.13.11)
I think Justin B. is right to keep the politics out of it. He's only 17 and a pop star, not a politician He doesn't have to endorse or not endorse causes at this stage. Wish more of the artists would keep it about music and leave politics out of it.
10. Bibi's advisors "sensed a PR opportunity"? They are morons!
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (04.13.11)
I can see from this inexcusable debacle that Bibi's PR troubles stem in large part from the garbage he has surrounded himself with as "advisors". They obviously have no idea what "PR" is and are apparently too dumb to educate. He needs to fire them, they are a wellspring of poor judgement and poor advice. Nobody does this - dragging a celebrity into a crass political show, when his meeting with the PM was PR gift enough. Where did he get these "advisors? The FSU?? This is the kind of clumsy "PR" that Bolshevicks in bad suits used to try to orchestrate. Bibi needs to get these jackass "advisors" off his team, they are an albatross around his neck. Hopefully many more friends of Israel will tell him the same. These guys are trash that needs to be left on the curb. There is no excuse for this.
11. why are you treating Bieber this way?
jon ,   us   (04.13.11)
Perhaps you should revise your headline if it's in controversy whether Bieber was the one to cancel the meeting. It's bizarre that there would be a war of words between the PM's office and a teenager who came to Israel to sing and vacation. It's also strange that the PM's office would try to use him for PR effect and insert him into their local politics. How would the PM feel if he decided to pose for pictures with children in Gaza whose parents were victims of the war in Gaza or an attack by an Israeli settler like Baruch Goldstein. Leave the kid alone and don't try to embarrass him by putting him in an uncomfortable position and then telling the media he doesn't care about kids.
12. Netanyahu pines for the limelight...24/7
Al   (04.13.11)
He is unworthy of being a leader of the Jewish State. Pathetic moon bat thats always looking for the spotlight. Do your bloody job of protecting the Jews of Israel and stop looking for a sound bite.
13. Smart Move!
ilan ,   israel   (04.13.11)
Don't take sides! Do your thing, and go back to your igloo eay! lol, j/k.
14. He came to do a concert not spit Israeli
Abdalla   (04.13.11)
Propaganda
15. The boy has self-respect.
noa ,   israel   (04.13.11)
He came to Israel and not only that, is staying for a whole week. How cynical of Bibi to hijack this for his own political purposes. Yes, we want the world's support, but we don't need to do it this way. Good for Bieber.
16. Meet the priminister
Nechams ,   Israel jerusalem   (04.13.11)
That was sneaky move of bebe to mix politics and music what nerve maybe JUstin should be our prime minster
17. Bibi and Bieber
Harold ,   USA   (04.13.11)
Bibi should have met Bieber to learn how to become popular and to learn how to gain good reputation.
18. NEW SONG?
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (04.13.11)
Justin is now writing a new song "Tool of the Jews" to mock this shameless attempted expoitation by Bibi's psychological warfare advisors to put Justin's face next to victims to plant subconscious guilt and association in Justin's millions of fans around the world.
19. With a tie on they seem twins, Bibi a singer, Bieber a PM.
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.13.11)
20. #12 NETANYAHU OUTSMARTED
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (04.13.11)
Made to look like a fool by a 17 year-old-kid.
21. Bibi Bieber
deebo_ ,   Holon   (04.14.11)
Bibi booked Bieber because a bus blast bombed Billy, Bieber blew off Bibi but blown up Billy burst out bawling for the Bibi-Bieber banquet to begin.
22. agree, who care
marcel ,   usa   (04.18.11)
I can look past the fact that bieber is a typical north american spoiled brat; but this article brings to light the fact that along with being groomed for fame, he is also groomed for such liberal political pc manuerverings himself. Dissing children who've been so adversely affected by terrorists. Bieber, get over yourself
