1. What other countries have they gone to visit to protest?
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.11.12)
Have they already been to Pakistan and India, and Russia and China and France? Have they left little and insignificant Israel for last? OR IS ISRAEL THE FIRST AND ONLY stop on their world tour? This whole thing smells of a leftist self-hating Jewish propaganda ploy!!! Dragging out "experts" to do their dirty work?
2. Interestingly enough no "Disarm GB" or "Disarm US" exists in
ab   (09.11.12)
these countries,Lefties prefer financing Israeli idiots to render their country defenceless
3. They got wrong adress
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.11.12)
should have been protested in Tehran.
4. #3. My thoughts precisely
Tim ,   Brighton   (09.11.12)
Perhaps the countries got mixed up in translation
5. Have you people listened to the news?
Chaim ,   Arad   (09.11.12)
I think you are in the wrong country. You need to go to Iran, Syria, North Korea, among others with your protest, demonstrations, and your signs. When was the last time Israel threatened to wipe Japan off the map?
6. Become a habit
Raoul ,   Herzliya Israel   (09.11.12)
Once again Israel singled out as the Bad Boy. Enough!
7. No they got the right address. Afterall, Israel has nukes
JulienCK   (09.11.12)
8. #7 - so does North Korea - which is right in their back yard
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.11.12)
Why not demonstrate against North Korea which is very likely to harm them directly?
9. Previous posters
MR   (09.11.12)
Maybe a large group indeed protested in Teheran first. These four are what's left of them.
10. Thank God Hiroshima was bombed.
Joshua ,   Ashdod   (09.11.12)
Why is this group of "survivors" morally competent to speak to this subject? They were living in a Japan which carried out unspeakable atrocities in Mongolia, China and Southeast Asia. They were living in a Japan that carried out a despicable surprise attack against the U.S. at Pearl Harbor. They were living in a Japan that had nothing but serf-like fealty to a decadent "god-man" leader with delusions of world conquest. Thank God the U.S. dropped a bomb on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki--and ended Japanese abominations. This pathetic group should go back home.
11. Use of nuclear bomb
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (09.11.12)
They do this at the Kotel (instead of for example ) at the Knesset? And their next stop is Tehran? Who is threatening to wipe who off the map and annihilate who? They pick Israel? I may be the sole voice here but Japan was warned to surrender. They still wouldn't surrender after Hiroshima. It wasn't my generation but I wouldn't have been willing to lose hundreds of thousands of American troops for a ground assault on the main island- the Japanese were not going to surrender. I am sorry that it came down to this but that's how I view it.
12. PLEASE GO to Iran and PROTEST your hearts out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah ,   Jerusalem   (09.11.12)
Let's see you protest against the ONLY state that threatens to nuke other people. Do you have the courage to do that?
13. Nukes, of course, will have to be empoyed on Iranian sites
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.11.12)
But that's alright as long as innocent civilians aren't targeted, like the Americans so mercilessly and savagely did to the hapless Japanese. But heck, it saved American lives, so it was "justified", as will Israel's actions come to be known.
14. "She posited that Israel's nuclear demilitarization is..."
Alex   (09.11.12)
Would lead to Israel's demise. If we remove our nukes the arabs will attack, no doubt about it, it's the only thing that have held them off for so long. Full respect to the Hiroshima survivors but the organizers behind the event are insane and should be institutionalized.
15. I hope non Israelis reading these
Ken ,   Burma at Peace   (09.11.12)
posts do not get the impression that Israel is a nuclearly-armed warmonggering State.
16. Have they visited Pakistan ,India,Russia,
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (09.11.12)
U.K.,N.Korea,China,Russia,France and told Iran to stop developing it.
17. Well, folks, let's do the math
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.11.12)
140,000 dead in Hiroshima. An additional 70,000 dead in Nagasaki. Against an estimated 2,000,000 dead had the United States conducted a conventional war in the Japanese home islands. May I respectfully remind everyone that the Japanese did NOT surrender following Hiroshima? It took another atomic weapon dropped on Nagasaki to convince the Japanese to surrender. Any more questions? Perhaps those should be brought to the Chinese survivors of the "Rape of Nanking." Or the Koreans. Or the survivors of the Bataan Death March. Now, are there any more questions? I didn't think so.
18. Mr social justice will demand we disarm rather than attack
zionist forever   (09.11.12)
The only worrying thing here for Israel is the left is going to pick up on what these idealists gave started it and demand Israel disarm so there is no need to attack Iran & start a war. Your worried Bibi might attack Iran to stop them getting nukes so turn Iran into the good guy that only wants nukes to protect themselves from an aggressive Israel and if Israel doesn't have the things then Iran won't want them either. We will probably be told how Mr Social Justice demands it to save money so they can try gain support. If Mr Social Justice wants something then the Israeli public want it not just a few radical leftist trouble makers. As for these protestors, they should go to Iran try and talk the ayatollahs out of trying to aquire nukes.
19. funny
yafe nefesh ,   nahariya   (09.11.12)
You can tell a lot about people by what role models they use. People here for instance generally compare themselves to North Korea, Iran and Syria. Well done. Carry on convincing yourselves.
20. A Bomb was the ONLY way to stop Japan.Remember all Jap attro
Alan ,   SA   (09.11.12)
cities! Remember Bataan Death Marches, The Burma Railway.Singapore Changi Jail life ,Hong Kong ... Also unspeakable atrocities already in mid 1930s in China... Rape of Nanjing! On andon Remember TARAWA, IWO JIMA.All those battles which they defended till the end.(Thanks Semper Fi!!) Let that little group go tell their bobba meises to Noth Korea, India Pakistan and and and of course IRAN!
21. We'll be happy to disarm...
frauss ,   Jerusalem   (09.11.12)
when the Messiah comes!
22. So how come they are not protesting in Iran?????
EST ,   Miami USA   (09.11.12)
23. Maybe they should protest Japan's sneak attack on
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (09.11.12)
Pearl Harbor. It is the Japanese government itself who made that fateful decision which eventually led to America dropping the A bombs to save another 1 million lives. These poor souls should should begin their 'charity' work at home. Don't attack first and expect a pillow fight.
24. The proper place for this demonstration is, clearly, Tehran!
Adam Smith   (09.11.12)
25. Why do you protest in Jerusalem
Mira ,   Vienna   (09.11.12)
and not in Teheran? Oh yes, I forgot, you would not survive it there, Dudes!
26. If Israel were not a Jewish state, the protest wouldn't have
Jehudah Ben-Israel   (09.11.12)
taken place in Israel's capital city, if at all.
