1. ACRI promotes a bi-national state.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.28.11)
They oppose the idea of a Jewish State, promote ''a state of all it's citizens'' - code for an anti-Zionist ideology, and they are financed by foreign interests.
2. Let ACRI first decide to support freedom of speech!! which
Tami4 ,   Haifa   (08.28.11)
The ACRI has long opposed freedom of speech. Let it start endorsing freedom of speech for non-leftists before pretending to understand or care about social justice
3. HEY ACRI... SINCE WHEN DOES ANY STATE OWE YOU WELFARE?
stude ham   (08.28.11)
ACRI is clearly incapable of articulating any desire other than give me give me give me. this is a complete mockery of constitutional structures and therefore must be ditched into the garbage bins of history.
4. Social Justice
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (08.28.11)
I was very much in favour of all these protests at the beginning. Seemed like a good cause - some form of rent control, of housing prices and even of todler education. But nowit just sounds as if they're all mouthing a lot of slogans for the sak of it. The government is not going to break its budget - and why should it? Neither are they going to make free education for 3 months and up - gimme a break, why should they? Sounds like East Germany before reunification. I agree there are many social injustices here and alot of greedy people who make their fortunes on the backs of ordinary citizens, but I am now heartily sick of seeing these protesters' faces and hearing their voices. and that's as a mother and grandmother who has to watch her children paying ridiculous rentals and a fortune for kindergarten for their 3-year old.
5. Let ACRI first support civil rights for Israelis
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.28.11)
For years, Israelis have had their civil rights violated by Palestinian war crimes, and ACRI has kept more or less silent about it. ACRI got heavily involved in Cast Lead against the IDF. ACRI refused to get involved in anything to do with the PA or Hamas, claiming that it was "not within their jurisdiction." ACRI is a prime example of how the politically incorrect world stands on its head to support criminals, while letting the common citizenry fend for themselves. Palestinians regularly and routinely carry out war crimes against Israeli civilian citizens, yet ACRI is silent about that. But when they think the IDF may have committed war crimes against Palestinians (who factually, definitely, and undisputedly commit war crimes against Israelis), ACRI goes on the war path. You see the reports and demands for commissions of inquiry on their website. You do NOT see any demand for inquiries into war crimes by Palestinians against Israelis. So just who is ACRI protecting? Yes, they are protecting the Palestinians and NOT us Israelis. Disgusting. Warped. Demented. And nothing to do with their mission of "defending the human rights and civil liberties of all". They don't give a damn about Jews. They don't give a damn about Palestinian war crimes, and they are not about to do anything about it. I say ACRI has long lost its way. It should be closed down and disbanded, and a true civil rights NGO should take its place that places human rights of ALL people as its number one priority. ACRI has sunk to Orwellian depths - where in their world all humans are equal, but Palestinians are more equal than Israelis.
