35. #13 Catherine Ashton condemns Israel
ltrail ,   United States   (07.29.12)
It seems that this UK baroness and lacky for all those who are anti-Jew, is the mouthpiece for the EU anti-Jewish segment as well. There is one thing that I agree with her about: All Arabs in the State of Israel, must begin to pay taxes to the State of Israel since they receive services and hold real estate in the land. The monies that the so-called palestinians pay to the PA must now be sent directly to the government of Israel.
36. 26 Charles,do you think,Israel ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.29.12)
should accomodate it s human right policies,in order to keep the economic ties with EU?
37. I think we all have it backwards...
Even Balance ,   Beit Yehoshua, IL   (07.29.12)
At the end of the day, a drowning person will always ask for your hand, just as the EU is asking for Israel's. Nothing unusual there. Israel is Europe's hi-tech capital and they need us, now more than ever before. Nonetheless, I think that the EU is only giving its hand now, so that it can retract it later in protest of something or other.
38. Please be discerning and realistic!
Tom W ,   USA   (07.29.12)
All the negativity that oozing from this beauty had been fed into her by the numerous leftist Israeli NGO-s. These interconnected leftist groups, - in alliance with Islamofascists, constantly supplying anti-Israeli materials to the EU to cause the eventual destruction of Israel. Don't think that all the nonsense hostility that emanating from her is the product of her vivid fantasies. Haaretzniks, Peace Now-s and others are at it too.
39. I have just 1 question for Ashton
zionist forever   (07.29.12)
The rights of Israeli arabs is a core problem in its own right and we must do more to make them happier. Ashton & the EU don't like the fact that many Bedouin villages are considered illegal so we got to do something about that like officially legalize them. If we do one day manage to make peace with the arabs there will not be any pats on the back from the EU it will be time to start focussing on the rights of arabs in Israel. Just wait till the EU decides that Israel is breaching the human rights of the arabs through alliyah. The one question i have for Ashton is why do you & the EU not consider Hezbollah to be a terror organization? If they are not terrorists then why do they need all those weapons, why do they kidnap Israeli soldiers, why do they make threats? The woman has less to say about Syria than she does Israel. Time for her to stand down & the failed organization which she represents needs to worry about their own problems and stop trying to dictate to Israel how it deals with its own.
40. #1 Japan is more anti Israel than the EU
(07.29.12)
Check out their voting record and pronouncements of their foreign affairs dept. Even during their earthquake they found time to denounce Israel. The only way to get countries to favor Israel is to penetrate them as has been done in UK and USA with powerful political lobby groups to buy the politicians.
41. EU & Ashton
tiki ,   belgium   (07.29.12)
Safe your breath because nobody is listening to your monotone mantra's anymore. Nobody cares. You've said it all before. Speak when you have something to say! @ Cynthia from US. Good comment and so very true.
42. Zoabi and her ilk are not protected enough?? What is with
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.30.12)
the EU obsession with lecturing Israel? No problems at home? In the Moslem world?
43. lessons
paulo ,   brasil   (07.30.12)
Israel must learn from its neighbours how to deal with minorities...
44. EU
Derek Roma ,   Belgium   (07.30.12)
WHich EU fights for others people human rights? The one that defended Srebrenica? hmmmm........
45. EU and UK
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (07.30.12)
One of the reasons so many Brits are Euroskeptics is because they don't want foreign policy decided by the EU, even if they put a Brit like Baroness Ashton to speak for them. The main issue involving Israeli Arabs [and Haredim] is why they are exempt from all forms of national service. The EU seems to have missed this.

47. Ashton
DavidR ,   USA   (07.30.12)
I do not want to be associated with any nation or alliance of nations that has any negative relationship with Israel!!! I hold the testimony of Ruth! I will give my life blood for Israel! It is my prayer that anyone who holds any negative opinion of Israel will have their eyes open to truth and if now, may they be be cursed forever. Baruch et Israel! Yom Israel Chai!!!!!
48. # 10 Sarah B
Sagi   (07.30.12)
Permit me to remind you that a "horse's ass" is an extremely useful entity, its immediate effusion has been instrumental in growing many a fragrant and beautiful red rose in many a picturesque New England garden. Ashton and red roses do not seem to me to be particularly related to one and other.
49. Christians and Jews and atheist have human rights too..
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (07.30.12)
And they need protection from fakestinian terror attacks...church burning,church occupation,sinagogue burning,bus blowing out etc..etc..where are all our human rights????
50. Fanatics and Bullies
Zivron   (07.30.12)
Fanatics and Bullies have ballistic energy like Napolean and Rasputin and exert Powerful Magnetism but don't have the numbers so like Lenin and the Nazis. Grab Power and use Terror By Gravity they draw Herds the Jews are different as the Democracies with Many opinions so in an Emergency form National Unities. The Jews need be Triggered into National Unities Fast the Jews need learn from the past with the Zealots and the Greusome Destructions It's a touchy dynamic moderation and fanaticism Stalingrad and Verdun necessary Fanatacism with Deluded megalomania.
51. EU Hypocrisy
Andy Whittaker ,   Northampton, UK   (07.30.12)
It is breathtaking to read about the EU demands on Israel to improve it's human rights record when the human rights record of Greece - a member state of the EU, is so appalling - it's no fun being of Albanian or Macedonian origin and trying to live in Greece - human rights - what a (sick) joke!
52. I can feel her smell from here....
Esteban ,   Argentina   (07.30.12)
when this "person" opens her mouth.
53. 49 Anna, who did attack atheists?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.30.12)
54. Chris , 31 , also when she said that economic ties
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.30.12)
will be boosted ?
55. EU comments on Israel's internal policies
Ilan   (07.30.12)
By what right does the EU have to comment on the enforcement of laws in regards to Bedouin illegal building in the Galilee and Negev? It exposes the general contempt they have to the state of Israel. Would the EU dare to criticize the policies of zoning in Poland etc.? It is out of place.
56. hypocrites
ej ,   tlv   (07.30.12)
Where was the UN when France expelled tens of thousands of gypsies and refused to recognize their settlements?! What about the persecution of the Basque, the oldest people in Europe, whose land was stolen by the French and Castillian Spaniards? The EU is an embarrassment!
57. 54 Charles Money has no odor?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.30.12)
Can you answer my 36,not because i am nice,but because you are? This is an innocent thema. We better avoid in the future to talking about religion.
58. Ora , 36 TRY # 2
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.30.12)
They will boost the economic ties with Israel , that's important . We only try to defend ourselve and try to prevent human losses . That sometimes , because of this , some human rights are violated is sad , but necessarry . We have'nt and can't change this . Regarding your "not irreplacable" , open your eyes when you are in a supermarket . We import coffee from Italy , Germany and Poland . Cheese from France [ delicious ! ] Chocolate and beer from Belgium , perfumes and so from France and Germany , cars from different EU countries , and so on . You can't replace such an important trade partner . We need them , they need us . Don't forget that we have , at least many of us , an European culture , that we aree associated strongly to Europe .
59. Ashton, you are to blame for more and
(07.30.12)
more anti-Semitic incidents and aggravations in the Europe you represent and manage. Take serious note of it and do something against the Arab and non-Arab perpetrators !
60. EU bias
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (07.30.12)
We've got Arabs in the Knesset who participate in Nakba Day protests and an Arab on the Supreme Court. And they are telling Israel what??? The EU loves to single Israel out. How often do they slam North Korea. Not that Israel wants to be at the level of NK but Israel always gets singled out. What about the human rights of the citizens of Southern Israel?
