1. EU Ashton disgrace . Did we not already
DT ,   TA Israel   (03.21.12)
know that Ashton and the EU always were viciously anti Israel and Ashton the perfect head of such an organiztion of hate ? Expect no change except getting worse
2. The Ashton failure
BH ,   Iowa   (03.21.12)
is a failure of collectivist Europe's entitlement society. Ashton found herself in a position of responsibility based on her sole qualification - the arbitrary aristocratic title before her name. In a merit society a creature like Ashton would never be considered. She would be dismissed as unqualified. The most experienced, educated and qualified applicants would compete for that position.
3. Mrs Ashton acts like she looks : Terrible !
who cares   (03.21.12)
4. Ashton
Roy ,   USA   (03.21.12)
This bungling,irritating , incompetent,useless, Mongoloid-appearing woman needs to hang it up and stop embarrasing herself and the EU .It t is high time that there be some firm pressure brought to bear on the UN to remove her .
5. Not only anti-Israeli
Frank ,   Canada   (03.21.12)
Europeans are anti-Semites. They are using Fraudestinians as a pretext to express and legitimate their obsessive hatred of Jews.
6. E.U. has no place in matters involving Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.21.12)
Ashton is a symptom of the problem. Not the problem itself. If the E.U. had a real problem with Ashton's hatred of Israel, it wouldn't select her as it's head. The E.U. is not Israel's friend. To put it mildly. It has no place in matters involving Israel.
7. Ashton has traded on her good looks
Jim Pants ,   Ft. Lauderdale, USA   (03.21.12)
..long enough the party is over
8. OOPS! SPOKE TO SOON!
Dan ,   Los Angeles   (03.21.12)
9. in Israel the government eats bananas for breakfast, lunch,
Mark C   (03.21.12)
If Israel is not a republic banana it should treat Ashton just as Lieberman is treated in Europe, NO top official from the Israeli government should great her or ,meet with her. But in Israel the government eats bananas for breakfast, lunch, and diner.
10. ashton is an irrepressible moral imbecile.
rick ,   walnut creek   (03.21.12)
her original statement was a perfect reflection of her distorted moral compass.
11. "IT'S NOT HAPPENING AGAIN"
Ussishkin ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (03.21.12)
And Ashton is neither an anti-Semite nor anti-Israel.Calling for Im Tirtzu to rise up and demonstrate is like asking the black shirts to take over the Knesset!
12. Ashton-HER HATE SPEECH LED TO MURDERS IN FRANCE
Netanya ,   Netanya   (03.21.12)
Ashton should be tried, due to hate speech which directly caused the French murders of those poor Jewish kids.
13. She has a yearly salary of 400.000 Ł!!!!
gelb   (03.21.12)
The woman is an abomination. She can't help herself being a cheap anti-Israel activist and a fake moralist.
14. I have occasion to say again
Borislava ,   Sofia, Bulgaria   (03.21.12)
If (she) looks like a duck and "speak" like a duck, then (she) probably is a duck
15. ash-face
dennis ,   nj us   (03.21.12)
Gee whiz. She's as ugly outside as she is inside!
16. Ashton, head of EU anti-Semites, REPRESENTS the EU
John Doe ,   Universe   (03.21.12)
17. ASHTON IS A DISGRACE (A RAP )

19. PLEASE REMOVE DA PHOTO
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (03.21.12)
I am trying to eat my breakfast. By the way ,Ashton is finished in her role at the E.U . She has lost all credibility.
20. #17 Nice one, LAWRENCE!
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (03.21.12)
This ol' mama witchy must go... by hook or by crook. How she got to be EU foreign affairs chief defies the law of gravity
21. #17 DA RAP ARTIST - Background du wop lyrics
Devorah   (03.21.12)
Hey yo, I know watcha mean 'bout Baroness Ash Da aaarabs pay her most likely in cash Wonder what she does wit all dat money Ain't spent it on her face 'cause it still looks funny Got her ash in a sling wit da current news Dat babe is nasty when it comes to da Jews But hey hey, hey, hey it's ok and you wanna know why 'cause she's been outed that her life is a lie Oh yeah It's time to resign walk the line when it comes to the Chosen 'cause Lady Ash your career is a closin'
22. Is she FIT to hold her position
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.21.12)
Here we have a supposed leader of Foreign Afffairs for the EU who by COMPARING what happened in Toulouse with the plight of children in Gaza and Sderot shows either how totally inept she is or else allows her hatred of Israel to cloud every judgement And why the public fury and scorn? For the benefit of BaronAss Ashton lets go over this. This was a murderer who CHOSE to enter a school of innocent schoolchildren and FILMING as he went grabbed a young girl by the hair and shot her point blank in the head Yet the BaronAss attempts to then detract from its horror by IN THE SAME SENTENCE comparing THIS HORROR to the plight of children in Gaza and Sderot? Has she gone stark raving mad?
23. How to get rid of the Baroness Ashton?
tiki ,   belgium   (03.21.12)
As Douglas Murrey writes in the British 'Spectator & Commentator magazines.... ""That isn't going to be easy because she belongs to the new breed of '''"appointed politicians, appointed by a group who is also ''''not accountable to any electorate. That's EU-democracy for you. Those who are lecturing Israel all the time about the rights & wrongs and who are questioning the ONLY vibrant democracy in the ME, who is definitly on a higher (moral) standard than the European one.
24. #21 EXCELLENT RAP .THANK YOU
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (03.21.12)
You rrap is da best Devorah .Thank you.
25. Stupid or evil? This social&political climber has to GO AWAY
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (03.21.12)
26. Im Tirtzu
Joe Joe ,   TA   (03.21.12)
You had me persuaded Matty until you brought up those black-shirt fascists. Sadly you belied your own radical ideological roots.
27. Ashton showed once again that she is not ...
Lior ,   Tel aviv   (03.21.12)
the right person for the job. EU's chairman - please replace her with someone with a more balanced standpoint. The state of Israel has plenty of issues to deal with rather than deal with an imbalanced EU representatives...
28. Mohamed Merah
Raphael ,   Netanya   (03.21.12)
The fanatic racist killer in Toulouse who acted like the infamous Einsatzgruppen, uses the same narrative as Ashton: he killed at point blank 3 children and their father to "take revenge for the children of Gaza" (including the staged "death" of Mohamed al Dura) .
29. #24 - DA RAP ARTIST
Devorah   (03.21.12)
Yo thank you, but I like yours better. You are goooooood!
30. (21) Devorah
tiki ,   belgium   (03.21.12)
You & DA RAP ARTIST....spread this one over ALL the Media channels!!!! You're our only hope to get her out, because 'Democratic voting doesn't work in her case.
