1. Yet another dim-witted propaganda tool
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.25.11)
Here's another not-so-intelligent fool who thinks the Palestinians in Gaza are "starving". Oy. How does one save Israel from the good-hearted gullible idiots out there who are walking, squawking propaganda tools for the Palestinians? Maybe we should send her on a one-month weigh-loss visit to Gaza? Her mission is to photograph all the starving people and the graves of the Pals who have starved to death. Then she has to write a report about it and present it to the class, explaining that she has no pictures because there are no starving Palestinians in Gaza. Her poor family. How embarrassing.
2. Speaking of women activists, where is HRW's Sara Whitson?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.25.11)
Just read in the NYT how a Saudi woman was arrested for driving a car by herself. In Saudi Arabia, women have almost no rights (can't vote, can't walk out of their house by themselves), yet Sarah Leah Whitson of Human Rights Watch isn't going to help her out. Sarah Leah Whitson was the HRW flunkie who went fundraising in Saudi Arabia, yet appears to spend all her waking time criticizing Israel. Will Sarah Leah Whitson speak out about Abileah's arrest? Well, no need to since Abileah was simply creating a disturbance and deserved to be arrested. Will Whitson speak out about the arrest of Manal al-Sharif in Saudi? Somehow I doubt it. There are too many SUVs owned by "human rights" activists that need Saudi oil in the tank. Easier to get a few donation checks and leave the Saudis to abuse their women instead of doing some "human rights" work there.
3. Why some Jews support Bin Laden/Hamas
Moshe ,   Netanya   (05.25.11)
Most agree: Soros money. You don't have to work to get in the newspaper everywhere. If you bit up a Jew in California you get several hundred $$ from one of the Soros organizations. But there is another reason. Al Quada is the only hope for socialists after Russia and China no more socialist (or they think so). As to her father, she is making more $$ in US then he.
4. Thank you Ms. Rae Abileah, God Bless
Palestinian   (05.25.11)
If all Israelis are like you, peace would have been the case even in 1917
5. Why is ynet giving stage to this nutjob?
Tahl   (05.25.11)
This is exactly what she wants - publicity. Why give it to her? Her silly stunt should better have been left ignored.
6. wow living on the edge
(05.25.11)
Next time come protest in Gaza and see yourself how activists there give you a hug. Attention seeker.
7. Abileah a bit twisted
Ya'akov ,   San Francisco, CA   (05.25.11)
Abileah is obviously suffering from Stickholm syndrome or is simply mentally incapacitated. She needs to take a crash course on history and facts in stead of propaganda. Also, if she learned international law, should would realize that Israel/Jews politically own the land (only 22% of our land) from the river Jordan to the sea (Judea and Samaria were liberated in 1967 after 19 years of occupation. Many Arabs were moved onto our land) while 78% was disingenuously ripped from our hands to invent yet another Arab Muslim judenrein state.
8. fool
J1 ,   earth   (05.25.11)
9. This woman's just rude
david ,   uk   (05.25.11)
10. Mentally ill.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.25.11)
And Code Pink isn't a ''pacifist organization'', they're lunatic terrorist supporters, a bunch of crazies known for their bizarre antics. I'm not a psychiatrist so I can offer no explanation for Jewish anti-Semites, all I can say is that it's a peculiar phenomenon. There's really no point in addressing any of her comments, these people aren't rational, they just repeat slogans & lies, anything their Arab friends tell them. Crack-pots like this are tolerated in most Western democratic states, if they were in Gaza, Syria, Iran or any other Muslim state, they would be silenced, most likely killed. Why Ynet would give any space to reporting on these morons is beyond me but, of course, our media also gives importance to Peace Now & other wack-jobs. My advice to Ynet is to stick to the man-with-a-small-penis type stories, at least they're funny. This is just sad & pathetic. It's not necessary to highlight the mentally ill.
11. attacked by Jewish lobby?
tiki ,   belgium   (05.25.11)
They were only helping her for she obvious has a problem of not enough oxygen reaching her braincells.
12. She should move to an Islamic country
afried ,   USA   (05.25.11)
Then she really would understand oppresion. She obviously has lived in a western country naive from all islamic terrorism and terany.
13. this woman is crazy and a lier....
laura ,   israel\ US   (05.25.11)
i was there, nobody touched her. and just to remind you there are security guards in congress and they can do the job... put a one sleeve dress on her and send her to the nearest asylum.
14. Boo Hoo! LMAO

15. What are Jewish N. American parents teaching their children?
Michael ,   Victoria, Canada   (05.25.11)
What are parents of young North American Jews teaching their children? They are living in a fantasy world that no one will harm their children if they remain faithful to their religion of "uber-liberalism" couched in using their Jewish values against our own country, Israel. It was a strategy used in Concentration Camps- using one Jew to punish another Jew. Never forget that we are ONE.
16. What a drama queen
Golan ,   Modiin   (05.25.11)
she needed to take her crazy person pills
17. #2 re Sarah Whitson
Jonny ,   Cape Town   (05.25.11)
She is lying low licking her wounds as is the HRW who recently proclaimed the "goodness" of Gadaffi and gave him a clean bill of health. Another supporter of totalitarian regimes world wide. They love the Alpha Males.
18. Abileah, did you vist Sderot too?
(05.25.11)
Did you also visit the psychological centers where Israeli kids are treated for the traumas they have to suffer thanks to your genocidal Gaza friends who have been pounding them on a daily basis with rockets and mortars ever since Israel LEFT GAZA? Did you visit the Shalit family? Did you visit the hospitals and cemeteries and pondered about the victims of the Muslim terror coming from Gaza and the West Bank? You must be extremely stupid, heartless and morally numb to turn a blind eye and accuse the victim and symapthize with murderous inhumans whose publicly declared plan is to destroy the victim. If you decided to side with Hamas, then expect to be despised and rejected by the Jews. It's that simple. And it is only natural that you will be attacked back whenever you stick your ugly head out from the venomous mud you decided to live in. You and your kind are despised around these shores both by your people who are unfortunate to be connected with you as Jews, and by your "friends" for whom raping and butchering you will be a refreshing culmination after reaching their goal of the destruction of Israel. Yes Abigail - it must be very lonely down there, rejected by your own people and despised by your "friends". Enjoy your short-lived notoriety.
19. i thought ur PM said she would be beaten if she were in iran
Marwan ,   Tel Aviv, Palestine   (05.25.11)
20. good for them-go to ramalah and kiss my
(05.25.11)
21. Terry #10
Eric ,   Toronto   (05.25.11)
You seem to be stuck on the "man with the "man-with-a-small-penis" story!!! You have already mentioned it enough times in your last posts! Does that say something about your own you know what?
22. AIPAC hijacks Congress
crackerjack   (05.25.11)
AIPAC sets the stage for a foreign leader to hijack US foreign policy on the floor of Congress. Opposition is beaten down and run of to the police. How long does AIPAC really believe it can pull through with this this unworthy charade ?
23. Occupation and starvation in GAZA?!Very good joke
Sofia ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
Hamas rules in Gaza and that is the fact.We don't have any control ingaza,you stupid woman.And there is no starvation in Gaza.By the way,palestinians in Gaza even prefer Israeli products over Egyptians because its better quality.
24. How refreshing, how bold and inspiring!
Nour ,   One-State   (05.25.11)
If all Jews living in Palestine would act like Abileah and uphold her noble principals of equality and dignity, this war would have ended decades ago! People like her, Chomsky, Finkelstein, etc. give me hope that real Jews out there exist and have no desire in being silenced.
25. Unfortuently violence is the language of the right wing
Haim ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
The more desperate the right wing become the more violent they become. They will do anything to deny others their basic humanrights and freedom of democracy. Just one of their many weapons they use. One only has to look at the settler thugs to understand their mentality.
26. She was abducted by aliens as well.
Ariel ,   Europe   (05.25.11)
27. So why doesn't she report them to the police?
Danny   (05.25.11)
If they really beat her up....
28. #21 Eric in Toronto.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.25.11)
Never had any complaints. I just liked the story - it makes a good example, a comparison as to what the media thinks is newsworthy. But thanks for your concern.
29. She doesn't get it
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (05.25.11)
Abileah has a non-American, foreign mindset. Many Americans have died protecting the Constitution and particularly the freedom of speech. Abileah tried to deprive Netanyahu of his freedom of speech, and the AIPAC delegates the freedom to hear him so they could formulate and informed opinion. She is nothing more than a rude barbarian. She should live in Saudi Arabia where it is normal to silence people you don't agree with.
30. This was great because of Bibi's comeback
Logic ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
I loved this scene because it gave Bibi the chance to make her look stupid and prove his point.
