31. Too much ...'''Schkotschhh'''...Hic !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (06.02.11)
32. let's see...
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (06.02.11)
This is a classic case of an ignorant, politically vain, small-minded politician with ambitions that exceed his capability. Problably frustrated with the justified lack of progression careerwise, he now resorts to this madness in order to get the attention he craves....I daresay he loves it!
33. Arab Pay list
Ariel ,   São Paulo - Brazil   (06.02.11)
34. Still Belting it out, baby!
Nour @13   (06.02.11)
I'd like to hear that you and salma got hitched if you ren't already. I'm just waiting for you or your ilk to knock on my door for a crust of bread. By the way, where are you going to move to when you and yours are kicked out of the Holy Land. Up with the Jews. Jews FOREVER!
35. Hamas Elected
Lee ,   Miami, FL USA   (06.02.11)
The people of Gaza elected Hamas who's clearly stated policy was war with and the destruction of Israel. They voted to live in a war zone and that's exactly what they got. Israel is respecting the Palestinian peoples choice. What are people complaining about?
36. Palestinians fighting Jewish occupation
Gabi ,   USA   (06.02.11)
US fought British occupation, France fought Nazi occupation, Algiers fought French occupation ..............AND Palestine is fighting Jewish occupation.
37. Scotts Shadow Runs Wild
(06.02.11)
This pixilated Scott has a sour haggis up his kilt. May he choke on it.
38. Bollan's Comments
Aharon   (06.02.11)
His comment on how Hamas was elected with an even greater majority that the Israeli government shows two things. One, it is accurate to call "palestinians" terrorists as a large majority voted for them. Two, the lack of poll disparity shows how unequal and free society is in gaza.
39. Freedom fighters my ass....and my ass knows.
Mack   (06.02.11)
40. Freedom fighters
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.02.11)
such a freedom fighter was also binladen,according to the majority of mulims in the world, very democratic,antisemitism,is spreading in Europe like the black plague, shame on the scots,who are the carriers of this disease.
41. Do the Boycotters also want Hamas to Liberate Scotland?
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (06.02.11)
Muslims believe the entire world belongs to Islam which means all non-Muslim countries are regarded as doing an illegal occupation. Israel is the top target of global jihad. The Islamic conquest of Israel would be regarded as a massive victory over Judaism and Christianity as Israel is unique and given by G-D to Jews, is very special; highly cherished and extremely sacred to Jews and Christians the world over. Are the boycotters planning to invite Hamas to Scotland, so their top favorites Hamas can liberate Scotland with the help of thousands of rockets fired on Scottish cities, as is perpetrated against Israel. Jihad is an obligation in the Koran which is clearly admired by pro-terror Scottish boycotters. The Koran commands all nations and peoples are conquered and subjugated under excessively cruel Islamic sharia law where defenseless non-Muslims have NO human rights. Israel, light of the nations; you must survive! Never surrender one inch of Jewish Holy Land to global Islam!

daze ,   US   (06.02.11)
little apparatchik jimmy bollan is trying to tap into the saudi payroll, like greazy chum george galloway
43. Peace in the Region With Hamas a Virtual Impossibility
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (06.02.11)
Yes, Hamas is part of a resistance Palestinian movement i.e. a resistance to peace throughout the region.
44. Hamas and the PLO are the same thing
Golan ,   Modiin   (06.02.11)
in different color. One is a national socialist Baathist group while the other is an Islamist group. Both are Fascists and supported by anti-semites in Europe. If truth be known, no one wants to "destroy Israel," just murder the Jews and make Israel an Arab state. By being understanding, and trying hard to buy peace we confused our friends and encouraged our enemies. This has got to stop. The only solution is transfer.
45. Calm down, this guy represents nobody. His party (cont)
Dan ,   UK   (06.02.11)
is a failure. 1 councillor, no seats. LOL. Stop giving him attention YNET!
46. Why after 63 years we need to discuss Israel's existance?.
nero ,   nyc   (06.02.11)
Anyone who dispute the right of Israel should be utterly ignored, and if they persist they should be shown the barrel of a gun up their noses.
47. Just because you don't like to 'hear' it.....
Edithann ,   USA   (06.02.11)
Hamas and all Palestinians are Freedom Fighters..... I say tomatoes, you say tomatoes, so let's call the whole thing off...and Israel give back all of what you've stolen from the Palestinians... ... TATA
48. Alright Mossad, new mission :)
Hawk ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.02.11)
Not that they should waste their precious time on this racist scot, but this seriously grinds my shfance. Too bad, cuz I was a huge fan of William Wallace.
49. Bollan is just confused.
EZ   (06.02.11)
As a Scot, Jim should realize that many occupations began hundreds of years ago. For example, the English (who are essentially a Germanic tribe) occupation of the British Isles began over 1000 years ago and pushed the Celts north to Scotland. Scots tried for centuries to fight English rule and finally lost and as a result lost their language and independence. That is unfortunate. Some indigenous peoples, Jews, for example, are not willing to capitulate. And, in some cases, they even win and defeat the aggressive colonization efforts of their oppressors, the Arabs, who until the 7th century CE were restricted to one peninsula but after that militarily pushed themselves on all of North Africa, mesopotamia, etc. Bollan, Jews should be a model for Scots who want true independence for their people, their language and their culture from their English oppressors. Too bad you cannot see that. Your loss.
50. Socialists and Jews
ACortez ,   Anaheim, CA   (06.02.11)
Everybody knows you can't trust a socialist/communist...look what they did to the Jews back in the 30's and 40's. Europe's history is full of disgraceful acts committed against Jews. Why a Jew would still live in Europe is beyond me.
51. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (06.02.11)
Israel had a good relation with Hamas to degrade and damage Arafat. Hamas was elected fairly and lawfully witnessed by Mr. Carter and many foreing leaders. Most of the world countries brand them as freedom fighter to liberate all Palestinian lands occupied by Israel but Israel and some Western countries including United States call them terrorists.
52. Shame knows no bounds
Mychal ,   TN, USA   (06.02.11)
How about the freedom to buy goods from wherever the hell you like? Socialists always point the finger at others while commiting the very abuse of civil liberties they accuse others of. Get this through your thick head: fundamentalist Muslims hate everyone. They hate and oppress women, they hate and kill gays, they hate and oppress opposing Muslim groups (see Shiite v. Sunni wars). How dare you say these people are more democratic and freedom-loving than Israelis, who have equal rights for women and who have a better record of gay tolerance than the U.S. at the moment. And while Jewish denominations disagree with one another--at times quite angrily--you don't see Ultra Orthodox Jews stuffing Reform Jews' hands down sausage grinders or feeding them to lions in the zoo, as Saddam Hussein and his sons frequently did to the Muslims they didn't like. Next this Councilman will be saying Hitler was good for the German people. I'm becoming ashamed that I ever thought so highly of the Scottish people and supported their aspirations of one day being a separate country again. "Those who deny freedom to others do not deserve it themselves, and with a just God, cannot long retain it." --Abraham Lincoln
53. I have heard of blood libel - Now we have bllod Whisky!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.02.11)
One might wonder if the people of Lockerbie would agree with this vicious Antisemitic. After all, Hamas are the allied with the butcher Gaddafi who ordered Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi to blow up PAN AM Flight 103 will 12 Scotsmen on the Ground! No doubt the Scots are starting to show their true colors. Few know that one of the vociferous Jewish haters of Israel is none other Sir Gerald Kaufman MP, a sitting Labor Member of the British Parliament. Jews hating Jews, Brits hating Jews. Scots hating Jews and we have no way of countering this because of the apathy of Jews who still live in the Diaspora with Ghetto mentalities and "the don't upset the Goyim syndrome"! How many of our people and our real friends would stop drinking Scotch Whisky and pour the rotten barley stuff down the drain?
54. a member of the Scottish Socialist Party
Cameron ,   USA   (06.02.11)
Pardon me if I dismiss this posting out of hand.
55. Bollan the Bafoon
Ken ,   Australia   (06.02.11)
This guy should be sent to a criminal court for insighting terrorism. This guy is effectivly saying that the entire country of scotland condem the state of isreal, So what are they takeing this stance for, whats the real reason behind it, The acknoledgement of the arab terror networks in the west should be condemded by all , Hamas is apparatus of the brother hood , either a strain or a division, either way, there philosophies are criminal mentalities against innocents , this is where there doctrine only begins, there mentality is a crime against humanity and therefore un-acceptable to the human family, therefore cant be recognized because they have put them selves under a doctrine that has no reverse of thinking. Frustrateing I know, but thats the way the hamas charter is written, its not the way to teach a people , or a way of getting anything from a neighbour, they sealed there own doom from day 1. Somebody needs to put Bollan in the south when hamas fires rockets, maybe then he will understand who they really are, I dont think scotland will have the same mentality of killing innocents either jewish or palestines as shields, let alone the kid kept under the ground for 5 years, remember him Bollan, be carefull who you want to dance with buddy, the hamas guys would blow you up in less than 1 second untill you became a muslim, to them you are a infidel pig who should die by a knife to the throat. Do you still want to embellish yourself with such ideology, I wonder, I cant believe how certain people can be pursuaded so easily by terror.
56. A Savage History & People: No Surprises Here
EZ ,   US   (06.02.11)
Scotland, as beautiful as it is and as cool as and handful of it's people are, is not exactly a collective to take seriously. They never gained their sovereignty back from their barbaric brothers in England so theyve got a massive chip on their shoulder apparently. What a silly lot! Silly indeed. Supporting terror openly. But no worries. What the hell can they do? It's not like they're decision makers and whatever little they did read is t worth Israels time. It's time for us Jews to wake up and realize the PROVEN facts on the ground: the Europeans are NO friends ours and never will be. Will they do business with us! Hell yeah! They want money like most people. They do business with anyone. I mean come on! They're the worlds capital for the modern slave (sex) trade! Scotland is awash in mosques now anyhow and the British subjects always cavorts the Arabs/Muslims (lol! Boy it's fun to see how that's been turning out! Big Ben is now "Big Ali"). JEWS: Boycott Scotland! They're not worth a damn!
57. to Edith Ann TATA
Giulia ,   Firenze   (06.02.11)
And you give back all you took form the native americans and proud infigenous people that were there before the U.S. You exterminated them and live on their land. Think about your karma, not the one of israelis. Not taking lessons from the country that massacred iraqi children based on a lie. Start counting
58. Scot-Muslim brotherhood
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (06.02.11)
This reminds me of Germany and the soviet onion,when they joined forces and attacked poland,than the German rat turned against it's partner,the scots,will end up the same way,the scots are blinded by their hatred for Jews,and don't realize who their partner is,the scots are very religious people,and can't forgive the Jews the killing of a helpless innocent little god.
59. pkk= freedom fighters
FREE KURDISTAN   (06.02.11)
60. to Salma, Tata and others..
bob ,   Canada   (06.02.11)
Unfortunately, world to shut its eyes. Statism and degeneration of Eurabia is too obvious. Scots are sliding into oblivion, senile, and powerless. BTW, Hitler was elected by German peoples, who bear full responsibility and consequences of the results, unlike Gasa's 'civil population"
