1. What slush fund pays for "activists"with time on their hands
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.30.12)
and no pressing work commitments,to fly in for the occasion. Which taxpayer funded "peace" foundation or misleading charity ?
2. Israelians, listen your true friends.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (03.30.12)
Brothers and sisters from Jewish State. The refered march may be irrelevant if your government acts through strength and, also, a good strategy. Order must be kept, if necessary, through military forces. But peace's process can not be given up. "Oslo" is not dead, it must be improved. Your enemies just want a war, in order to be "victimizated" around the world; on the scope of Israel's delegitimation. Never permit it. I know it is difficult, but there is not a better solution. God will ever help his chosen people.
3. Israel Braces for Arab Protests on Friday
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (03.30.12)
It is 9:30 pm, Thursday, in Chicago...and 5:30 am in Israel. So to all of the citizens of the State of Israel, and especially to the members of the IDF, we are with you in heart and spirit as the coming day approaches. I hope the day passes reasonably peacefully but also know that the IDF will protect the country and its citizens. As I said to someone today, "The IDF will perform its duties."
4. I hope you've got enough BULLETS!!!
(03.30.12)
5. "Global march," eh?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.30.12)
NOTHING says "I don't think so" like two bullets to the head. No country on earth would tolerate this threatened invasion of its borders. Israel should deal with it the way every other country would: maximum use of deadly force. What, should we be afraid of international criticism? I'm wondering what would happen should there be a march on the borders of Tibet. Or the Congo. Or Zimbabwe. Or any other nation in the entire world. Israel is a sovereign state, after all. Let's start acting like one.
6. Peaceful arab !!
whatever ,   wherever   (03.30.12)
I have never seen a circle - rectangle, but I hope one day I can see a peaceful arab !!!
7. Israel get ready for Mashiach...Chag Sameiach......
Asher ,   NY,USA   (03.30.12)
8. wonderful target practice
(03.30.12)
aim, ready shoot!
9. Arabs never had it so good
Baruch ,   USA/Israel   (03.30.12)
So now they have the world of the antisemites and the victimologists as their servants. Garcia-Navarro and her antisemetic and anti progress NPR friends will all be there to tell the world. Here is the message. Rather than work, educate their children, and join in improving the region,what do they do? They party and riot, teach their children hate, and destroy what they own. Never have so many, worked so hard, and risked so much to be so infantile. So when they are done with their little tantrum what will they have? Less than they ever had before. But the world that matters will see the one thing--this peaceful march that must turn into a riot and an attack is a lie--so it is just more of the same.
10. Israel braces for protest
Connie Copeland ,   Shenandoah   (03.30.12)
This is never about LAND. It is about getting rid of the Jewish people. I hope and pray that the Arabs who want their demise will be defeated, for good.
11. There is so much evil at the core of this stunt
Jordan Ispalestine ,   Los Angeles, CA   (03.30.12)
Anti-Semitism is just the tip of the iceberg. Whether it's the historical revisionism, the denial of a country's sovereignty and right to exist or the callous nature with which these people are sending their fellow idiots into harms way. No IDF solider should feel bad about anyone they are going to harm tomorrow. These people are ASKING for it.
12. burning flags
joe moor ,   south africa   (03.30.12)
what is up with this people that feels that burning a flag helps their cause. Why would all these people want to march on jerusalem when it is not even mentioned once in the koran...what do they want? Maybe they want to see what we have done with the place since we got it back trashed in 1967. It is now a vibrant city...open to all religions unlike before 1967
13. Another anti-Israel article by the AP.
Israeli ,   Haifa   (03.30.12)
They love their anti-Israel slant in every story they print. Its ok. We need more toilet paper.
14. Nos 1 and 12
Emma ,   London   (03.30.12)
Who pays? Saudi money. The Arabs pour billions into anti-Israel groups. They don't really want Jerusalem, they only want it because they know it is important to the Jews. We saw how they ethnically cleansed the Jews from the Jerusalem, blew up and desecrated their holy places and denied them access to the Old City when they annexed it in 1948 against international resolutions. They have what is called chutzpah. Good luck to the IDF, lets pray to keep each and every one of them safe from this scum.
15. AM YISRAEL CHAI
ecr   (03.30.12)
16. Arab Protest
AL QUDS ALYAHUDI   (03.30.12)
Anyone who comes near the Israeli border should be shot.IDF should not care how many are killed.By International law the IDF have the right to defend Israel and Israeli border. I hope Israel will use FULL POWER.
17. same old, same old
tiki ,   belgium   (03.30.12)
Everybody already knows ALL their slogans, their rethoric, their hysteria, their flag burning, but they continue to come back to repeat the same old mantra. "Israel is bad *we are good, Israel is apartheit *we are democracy, Israel want's war *we want peace", etc.etc.etc. Results......nada! These are the Arabs & Arab Palestinians for you. Their donkeys have a bigger brain.
18. (2) Luiz F.Hadad
tiki ,   belgium   (03.30.12)
What would Israel do without a good friendly advise from people like you. It looks to me that Israel is doing just fine. Economy is going strong (inspite world crisis), building (pillar of every economy) doing great, shortage of Hotels (booming tourist industry), new inventions coming out of Israel like a Swiss cuckoo clock, so who' complaining????? Losers, calling themselves ''Palestinians''. A tribe of Arabs that can't even get their name right and who have found their friends in losers just like them. They are the only ones complaining.
19. arabs fight for your rights
jon ,   florida   (03.30.12)
arabs have no rights in any country and now they chant this for the palestinians? llol rediculous.
20. Emma Arabs turn their backsides to Jerusalem when they pray
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.30.12)
Shops in the Arab quater would close without financial support,nobody shops there.
21. Uk protest
Harvey ,   London   (03.30.12)
The forces of darkness will be demonstrating outside the Israeli embassy from 5pm today in order to spread their lies and hatred . They will find us there already . A blue and white antidote to their malevolent presence . Am Yisrael Chai !!
22. MARCHING IS A GOOD PRACTICE!
Iranian Jew ,   Los Angeles   (03.30.12)
They can March all they want. But if they start any trouble then they are going to pay for it. they can also burn as many flags they like. in fact we can sell them our flags to burn. What help does this flag burning really do?
23. This is an invasion of Israel!
jason white ,   afula, israel   (03.30.12)
It should be stopped with napalm and heavy artillery. Stop the invaders dead in their tracks! Israelis should be armed by the government and should enter all arab villages along with security forces. Or close those villages off from Israel for a few months.
24. Now imagine that the PA/Hamas has a state in "West Bank"....
Think about it ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
Egypt, Lenabon, Syria, Iranians, and Jordan will THEN be able to MARCH RIGHT INTO ISRAEL AND.... YUP. It's not a good idea to give them a state.
25. No such thing as "west bank"!only Judea & Samaria!
Mike ,   Chicago   (03.30.12)
26. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.30.12)
It was the Arabs who abrogated Oslo. Not Israel. Can you spell "second intifada?" Getting a little of your pious preaching, Judge. Get an education, can you? It isn't Israel that is thwarting peace. It is the ersatz "Palestinians," who seem intent upon proving, time and again, that they are not interested in peace; nor are they capable of living in peace. They are nothing more than a violent mob. You are Lebanese -- don't you even remember what the ersatz "Palestinians" did to the peaceful Christian communities in South Lebanon? I haven't forgotten. What a shame that you have.
27. Flag burning Stupid people burning their money
Emma ,   London   (03.30.12)
Is there someone profiting from all this flag burning? Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was a Jewish firm that manufactured them but I think it is a Chinese firm. At least these stupid people are helping the Chinese economy.
28. I don't know a bout you, but I have
ME ,   HERE   (03.30.12)
long ago stopped to care to read Sarah B's talkbacks here on this forum. As I clicked the "Open all talkbacks" link, I accidentally came to read her post, number 5, above. I can only say, that she may have any opinion that she likes, but her oratory style is definitely not suitable for a forum that is open for all. My only recommendation is that talkbackers try to ignore her posts all together until she requires a civilized level of style of debate. For my taste, expressions like "two bullets in the head", as she writes above, are f a r below that level. This is not the first time, by far, that Sarah B's comments here have had an extremely violent and hateful tone, and it is not the first time readers here have noticed it and commented on it. Still, whatever other posters here write, she does not, as seen above, take down her argumentation even a notch, but continues in her same old usual style. No use, it seems, to try to argue with her in any way. - I am personally so bored with her that I didn't even think it was worth my time to write this post, but for the sake of other readers here, I thought I'd give it a last shot - figuratively, NOT literally!

ME ,   HERE   (03.30.12)
Sarah B may of course have any opinion that she likes, but her agitated style of argumentation makes it, at least for me, extremely tedious to listen to. I find it better just to not read her unbalanced posts altoghether and find other talkbacks that are more balanced and better articulated.
30. Total failure they didn't manage to grab the headlines
Emma ,   London   (03.30.12)
Not widely reported in the mainstream British media although Sky had something on their website nothing on the BBC and nothing in the Evening Standard. They didn't manage to provoke Israel in supplying them with dead bodies so no-one gives a damn about more hysterical Arabs screaming, shouting and burning their flags. What a waste of time and effort on their part. Hopefully the world is beginning to tire of them.
