31. #28. Love you too!
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.02.12)
32. Ahmet # 28
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.02.12)
What goes around, comes around? I'll bet the Armenians are hoping that's true!
33. what is Itay Segal's....
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (11.02.12)
...track record on successfully marketing anything? For him to present himself as a marketing maven, "pins my bullsh*t meter".
34. Not a good commercial
Barry ,   NYC, USA   (11.03.12)
But to Ahmet's point, there are no journalists in Israel's prison. Most Turkish prisoners are journalists or Kurds.
35. I don't understand the complaints
ts ,   center   (11.03.12)
It simply seems that this commercial (as another person had commeted) is directed towards the ISRAELI public and not people from abroad...
36. Saatchi and Saatchi
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (11.03.12)
Phone Saatchi and Saatchi. They're a five star LOndon advertising firm and also run an Orthodox synagogue on the side!
37. The Cringe Factor
Joseph ,   London UK   (11.03.12)
Many Anglo-Jews cringed during the recent TV series 'Jewish Mother of the Year.' Watching this Israeli advert makes 'Jewish Mum' look highbrow culture!
38. Barry? Israel closes "Leftist" university departments...
miki ,   tampa   (11.04.12)
West Bank Arab rioters are in jail and how many Jewish settler rioters are in jail? They only shoot the Arabs.
39. Beaches, restaurants and exotic markets?
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (11.04.12)
Are you serious? Have you been to the beach in Rishon? You can't get to the sea through all the jeeps, tractorons and blokes playing matkot. Restaurants? True there are many but prices are sky high. Exotic markets? As in shuk ha Carmel? As in shuk ha Tikva? Are you serious?
40. We, at the Eitanim School of Art and Creativity
Avi Israeli ,   Eitanim, Israel   (11.04.12)
...take full responsibility for this ad. At the time, it seemed like a good idea. Now that we're back on our meds, we realize the ad was in poor taste, even for us. We have since advised the Ministry of Tourism to begin working with other strategic partners and stop looking for Hasbara volunteers in our organization and our sister institutions.
