1. Very Funny Comedy Show
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (11.27.12)
Would the Dutch dare to offend muslims? i don't think so.The writers ,producers and actors would be hiding in closets while their daughters,wives and mothers were raped before making a comedy about muslim leaders
2. Yaakov Jacobs doesn't exist.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (11.27.12)
His name is Binyomin Jacobs. I don't generally consider Dutch comedy very humorous, but I cannot comprehend why anybody would even smirk at this one.
3. MANIPULATED libelous audio is NOT SATIRE but CRIMINAL ACT!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.27.12)
4. It's Dutch Muslims, Not Dutch Jews...
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (11.27.12)
...that are destroying Dutch society. Just visit Westerstraat in Amsterdam and notice how the steadily increasing Muslim population is putting a big damper on traditional Dutch liberty and liberalism.
5. Dutch Fun
Ameridane ,   Aarhus, Denmark   (11.28.12)
Don't worry, it is a DOUBLE DUTCH, which is like a VOLAPYK-( the languge of the future) that nobody understands.
6. The same holland that had more members
jason white ,   afula, israel   (11.28.12)
in the nazi party in WWII than were in the Resistance. I guess when you wear wooden shoes, you have a wooden head.

abdalla   (11.27.12)

9. video is so true

10. I see Ynet corrected the mistake.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (11.27.12)
Thanks. It's not often one of our Rabbis make the Israeli news. On those rare occasions, it's nice to see them being called by their real name. He is by the way, not THE, but one of two chief Rabbis. Rav Ralbag, who also made the news when he was suspended a while back, is responsible for the urban ''hotbeds'' of Jewish presence in the Netherlands, while Rav Jacobs administers to those of us living in the periphery.
11. Humour is just a bad excuse...
Christian ,   Suomi Finland   (11.28.12)
What a thoughtless thing to do - because antisemites and the enemies of Israel - can use this as a part of their propaganda. And maybe there are even so culturally unsensitive people in this world, who will really believe that it is genuine, especially after a while. But even if there was noboby, who would believe, that this is a real deal - there is a obvious antisemitic and especially anti-Israel vibe in this so called "humour"! Do the Dutch really feel that there is some kind of lack of antisemitism or Israel hate at the moment? And you have to be really ignorant - if you do not know, that nowaydays antisemites often uses Israel against the Jews - and they say Israel when they really mean Jews. Shame on us - Europeans, so called Christians...

13. the lowlands are sinking ever lower
martin ,   uk   (11.28.12)
how sad to see the netherlands who boast of anne frank yet keep so quiet about their ss members and collaborators. see the film called the black book, so true to life!!!
14. The Dutch
Simcha ,   NYC USA   (11.28.12)
I used to think that the Dutch were on the side of the Jews and were fair people......until 3 Dutch people I know, in separate instances, while describing someone, said "They are worse than the Jews" My opinion of them has changed the more I discover their rampant anti semitism. Good luck in 10 years-you'll all be eating Halal food instead of Stroopwafels.
15. They Wouldn't Dare!!!!
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (11.28.12)
How about a comedy about Islamo Fascists, Islam, or Muhammad? I'm sure the next day there would be rioting all over the world!
16. Same as the other video.
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (11.29.12)
People hate Israel so much they have to make up lies and propaganda to ease their jealousy. No different then the Muslim video that sparked protests. Perhaps Mossad should pay the instigators a visit when they least expect it.
