Isn't Coldplay one of the musical groups who made a point of taking an anti-Israel position?
2. Wait, why are the words 'forced' and 'convinced' used?
One   (07.27.11)
When explaining her doing it, your writing makes it seem as if someone put some pressure on her to raise her kids Jewish. now, really??
3. Reform Judaism will accept Paltrow's kids as jews
Franck ,   France   (07.27.11)
The pseudo expert quoted in the article seems to forget Reform Judaism's existence which is the largest denomination of American jews today.

The reform movement in the US is losing members every day in favor of more traditional Judaism. Thank G-d for that.
6. Religion is the source of ALL problems?
Joe ,   St Louis USA   (07.27.11)
I'm not the biggest fan of religion myself, but jeeze I can think of at least a FEW problems that aren't about religion. Let's see: Stalin, Mao, and Hitler are just a few proud atheists. I mean, jeeze, learn a little history and then decide!

10. Religion is the cause of all the problems of the world”,
Haim ,   TA   (07.28.11)
Nationalism mixed with religious fundamentalism remains the primary source of bigotry, hatred and racism in the modern era
11. reform...
jack ,   canada   (07.28.11)
reform is dying faster than communism,
12. to #6 finally someone think the same
ghostq   (07.28.11)
the bigest genocide on earth was idiology based, over 66 million minorities during stalin era only were murdered, as for religion lets not carry over, nothing wrong about lil spiritualism.
13. this is just cheape stunt after her husband palastin
ghostq   (07.28.11)
flop, I think it's too late for that, kinda pathetic when someone go to that length in the name of famehood, anyway this is just typical british bahavior one day they go against someone and and the next day pretend they r the biggest savior. use, lose and pretend to fake vitue.
14. Coldplay hates Israel
Mea   (07.28.11)
so why would ynetnews promote a family that is promoting coldplay's Free Palestine song????
15. # 6 Religion
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.28.11)
Joe ! All the three monsters you mentioned were religious,they practiced a religion,called communism and national socialsm,another form of communism,and they were the gods of that religion.
16. # 7 get rid of islam
J.K. ,   brooklyn USA   (07.28.11)
Beary white ! How ?.
17. Who is a Jew ?.
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.28.11)
A Jew is, whoever cares for the Jewish people and Israel,this excludes people like Noam Chomski from the left, and the satmars from the dark ages.
18. Stop supporting Hamas!
Eli ,   USA   (07.28.11)
Please tell your husband to stop supporting the Arabs, the very people who want to finish Hitlers job. If you want your Jewish Kids to have an ancestral homeland that your Grandparents only dreamed about having then you can start by supporting Israel and teaching your husband that the Wall he so hates is their to keep the suicide bombers out of our lives.
19. hollow romanticizing
Cameron ,   USA   (07.28.11)
20. this is PUBLIC RELATIONS BS
(07.28.11)
Her husband, the lead singer of Cold Play, is antisemitic because it's Euro-cool to be antisemitic/anti-Israel...now they're trying to back-track by saying they want to raise their children Jewish. BS...how stupid do they think we are?
21. Diluted Judaism.
talmudic sage ,   TA   (07.28.11)
This woman is not a Jew. Her children will be taught a watered down version of Judaism. Hollywood Judaism. This is a danger to us. If she wants to be a Jew then let her make aliyah, convert to Orthodox Judaism and then raise her children as Jews. This is the only way to be a real Jew.
22. Culture defines. She wants Jewish culture = She's Jewish.
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.28.11)
23. To 6
Shimon ,   Poleg   (07.28.11)
Hitler famously said 'I am a Catholic and will always be a Catholic' He was not an atheist
24. Confused
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israelyoyo1   (07.28.11)
Before I made aliya I thought that a jewish person is someone with jewish parents and grandparents and grand-grandparents and so on.Now I have doubts if I am jewish after reading such strange things. The people described in this article are clearly not similar to me.
25. #3 - Reform eventually will disappear.....
Andy   (07.28.11)
either because their ranks will decide to reclaim their heritage, or, more likely and tragically, there isn't a prayer that their descendents will be Jewish - it may take a few generations, but these Jews are as lost as those who stayed in mitzrayim.
26. 23. Hitler thought Christians were weak fools
(07.28.11)
He was born a Catholic that was his point. Nazism was his religion...that does not mean that he thought any non- white/ non-christian peoples were worthy of Aryan status. Nonetheless you are mixing apples and oranges.
27. #1 that's exactly what i thought as well.
bari ,   nyc   (07.28.11)
28. She is still Jewish
Nicolas ,   los angeles   (08.13.11)
She is still Jewish. some of these man made fraud jewish laws are simply silly. If your father is jewish, than so is the child. The law was made up due to the Romans raping jewish women and when the jewish female would birth a child, no one knew who the baby daddy really was but we arent in Roman days and Moses didnt come down from any mountain with this mother jew law.
29. #25 only because people like you won't accept them
rachel ,   usa   (10.13.11)
30. G. Paltrow
Terrye ,   Houston USA   (12.09.11)
