israelis and jews on all campuses are doing vert very well. didn't you notice that the bds movement is dead? didn't you notice that 75% of americans both jews and none jews support israel 100% and could care less about the muslims on campus? didn't you notice that even anti israel professors such as finkelstein and chomsky said that the bds movement is a joke and is going nowhere? the apartheid stupid wall is also dead and most muslim student organizations can't even pass one campus resolution to divest or to boycott anything to do with israel no matter how hard they try. this all is because the smart students finally caught up with the bds movement stupidity and uselessness. the same goes for the flotillas and flytillas that never worked. even there, the un, after a whole investigation of the mavi marmara incidence, claimed that israeli blockade of gaza IS LEGAL. well, what say you now?
4. Students should not be harrassed
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (11.13.12)
Students should be free to express themselves without the threats of secretly funded mafia type organisations. This "fellows" organisation is contrary to what the US Constitution stands for and should not get any foothold in US campuses.

then you must be talking about the muslim student union organization and the bds movement on campus. they not only harrasss other jewish and zionist students, they also interrupt anyone who comes to speak on behalf of israel and peace. not a single jew or israeli ever harrasses anyone on campus. your statement is complete bogus. it is the other way around. the muslims and their associates always harrass and intimidate everyone, including camous speakers that doi not agree with them. this is why people are sick of them already and their movement acheived zero so far and is very very weak.

sharing information on campus and educating its students IS NOT HARRASSMENT AT ALL. it is just that those that support israel and see the idiocy and lies of the palestinian movement on campus finally got an education with no harrassment at all. no one harrassed them. no one. those intelligent students were exposed to the other side of the argument and to facts on the ground, not lies. and they chose. they chose truth over hate and lies. simply that simple.

read the recent wall street journal poll to see that i am right on the money with this knowledge. 75% of americans support israel. it is a fact not from me, but from most news organizations and latest statistics. i know you'd like it to be different, but the numbers show reality on the ground.

And out lived the likes of you. Funny how you spend every waking hour on this site expressing your jealousy and envy of us. It must be painful being you. And it's Jewish therapy that helps you get from one day to the next.

actually, i didn't change the subject at all. YOU DID! i simply answered your imbecilic question and tried as hard as i could to point to the fact that someone like yourself that can't seem to express himself in appropriate english, grammatically and contextually, is a very poor example of a so called thinking man. you may continue to rant and accuse jews for their success and survival despite idiots and antisemites such as yourself. but the fact remains that despite jews being hated for their acumen, success, brilliance of survival despite the odds, and exemplary mind and intelligence, there will always be masses like yourself that hate, are mired in jealousy, despise those that succeeded despite horrendous odds against them and basically kept themselves above it all and continued to succeed, produce, excel and contribute. this is what irks you and the likes of you. simple. your posts filled with resentment, hate and anti jewish sentiments attest to this fact. i feel sorry for you. can you just imagine how much pain you live with and how much resentment rules your everyday life? a heavy baggage on your shoulders. do keep your resentment alive. do keep your antisemitism alive and continuing because it is a fact that despute people such as yourself and, because of people like you, the jews have prevailed and have gone on to create a beautiful successful country named israel, a top scientific and success in 63 years, jews have been at the head of all nobel prizes, success stories in the usa and europe and basically had put their mark on anything and everything having to do with bettering humanity and the world. this is a hard pill for people such as yourself to swallow. i do understand your frustration.

So, what have you build in those 57 hundred years that I can look and admire - Google some pictures of Tel Aviv, Hong Kong and Singapore in 1948 and 2012 to see what can be done in 63 years ,...

in addition to poor spelling, poor knowledge and abysmal writing, YOU ALSO DO NOT KNOW YOUR HISTORY. just for starters: hong kong is hundreds and thousands years old. singapore is hundreds years old. so is europe, so is the middle east and so is the far east and asia. yes, they had thousands of years to build. but NONE OF THEM BUILT A COUNTRY THAT IS SO ADVANCED AS ISRAEL IN TERMS OF MEDICINE, SPACE TECHNOLOGY, MILITARY, SOME OF THE TOP UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD, INCREDIBLE HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES. israel has 10 or 11 nobel prizes in all science, literature, physics, mathematics, peace, etc... any nobel prizes in singapore and hong kong? and these 10-11 nobel prizes WERE ACCUMULATED IN JUST 63 YEARS TIME. A COUNTRY THAT STARTED WITH NOTHING AND WENT ON IN 63 YEARS TO BUILD THE 17TH BEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, IS A MEMBER OF THE OECD. israel has the most scientific papers written next to the usa, more so than in europe. it has 4 universities that are among the top 50 world's best universities, more nasdaq israeli companies and patents even more than the usa, never mind europe. need i go on? i have a feeling you already know the above but have a very hard time coming to terms with this knowledge. by the way, tel aviv is gorgeous. it looks like new york. jerusalem is magnificent and most of the scenery is breath taking. you have not been there. what a pity. so, how would you know what tel aviv really looks like? what have the jews built in 5700 years? wow! everything they built unfortunately was destroyed by haters such as yourself. jews built THEIR SURVIVAL DESPITE ALL ODDS. they built a culture and country the entire arab and muslim world is extremely envious of. they have also built culture, humanism, charity, doing good for the world and humanity. jews despite of their miniscule numbers have contributed to humanity in terms of knowledge, science, medicine and high tech more than any other nations and people. look up jewish nobel prizes. more than anyone else considering their very very low numbers. by the way, despite your anger and hate, you, as an individual, are profiting from these jewish innovations. take your computer, your instant messaging, your cell phone, your agriculture, your drugs, your hospital diagnostic equipment, your inoculation shots like polio etc... look it up. all discovered by jews. you are more than welcome to do away with all the above and just roll over and die. believe me, a person such as yourself will be missed by not a single soul. on the other hand??? WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED IN YOUR LIFE SO FAR EXCEPT FOR IGNORANCE, HATE, ANTISEMITISM, JEALOUSY AND ENVY AND A FANTASTIC AMOUNT OF IGNORANCE AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. yes, i am done. please do not bother to repond because you really really have zero to add to any conversation. and by the way, i am iranian muslim by faith and live amongst jews in los angeles. the nicest most brilliant and successful individuals i have ever met. it is my pleasure to call them friends.
19. Another hasbara rant ,...

So where's the beef I mean something I can see and touch or maybe use it, not bragging ? ,... Fact # 1: A lion share of of the Nobel prizes and other awards for an achievements and contributions to science goes to scientists between 42-54 years old. Fact # 2: Israel was established 64 years ago and despite your bragging there's not one Nobel prize for someone born and educated or for his/her work in Israel, not one, zero, zilch. Why? Because there's nothing and no one to steal from ,... Same thing in regard of your so called 'inventions' and other 'achievements', here's how the business is done to keep you afloat, google "U.S. and Israel agree to develop plan to boost trade" to hear that one way sucking sound coming from Israel ,...

21. We have surivived ...that I can admire
Raphael d'Espinoza ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.01.12)
What are you capable of admiring, from the height of your colossal arrogance and from the depth of your abyssal ignorance? Your have never opened a bible and you have not the slightest knowledge of the 4000 years of our sublime history. Even many well-known and confirmed antisemites have recognized our immense contribution in every field of science, literature and the arts. So, try to get snatches of education and rudiments of English composition, (I was also going to advise you to ease your paranoiac temper with a couple of aspirins, but I will abstain : I will not inflict you with the pain of swallowing a product invented by the Jews Gerhardt and Eichengrun.
