1. The Human Rights Racists
tiki ,   belgium   (12.06.12)
Singling ONLY Israel out for 'whatever, is called 'Racism! Putting it APART for 'sins it didn't commit is called 'Apartheid! The racist accuser is guilty of what he's accusing Israel of doing, it's called 'Turn-speech! Blindly running after false prophets & falsifiers of history for whatever reason or agenda is ignorant & stupid! That's precisely what the 'humanistic racists of this world are guilty of! They don't want to better the world or help people, they only want to vilify Israel, Jews & those who stand behind her! They do it in a fanatic, dictatorial way, full of hate & force, which is not exactly the 'humanistic way! They didn't invent it, but It's about time to stop them! ENOUGH with the liars & racists of this world, calling themselves Human Rights Activists, but who are nothing more than racist dictators, influenced by lies & genetic Jew hate!
2. Israeli boycott.
MickT60 ,   Ireland   (12.06.12)
The apartheid state of Israel, hopefully will be boycotted the world over, like their sister state in South Africa was, till they learn how to live like human beings and respect their neighbors.
3. #2 Kinda hard to respect neighbors
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.07.12)
When they're firing missiles at your cities. Advocating a boycott of Israel makes you a supporter of terror. Love seeing Israeli products in our stores. Please send more!
4. The banner Noa's holding has wrong message! It should state:
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.07.12)
"Israel wants to live AND exterminate Arab fascism+ World-wide antisemitism" More catchy though would be: "Israel lives-Terror dies" end of discussion!
5. Boicotted or no, the fate of Jewish artists
Miron ,   USA   (12.07.12)
is enviable. We dazzle and bemuse and embarrass and inflame with impunity and feistiness of a lightning rode, and if doesn't fire up like a mid - range volcano we feel humiliated. But what can we say about dole that fallen unto Mr. Juliano Meir Hamis shoulders. Why wasn't a street named in Israel in his name? For all our imperfections we still have some responcibilities as a nation in front of our world. To teach it, to do justice to it, and to defend our nation when the demands layed down on us, or those who can't defend themselves, breach human norms.
6. #2 - when you boycott the many human rights abusers in world
William ,   Israel   (12.07.12)
then you'll have some credibility to criticize Israel. But while you refuse to boycott the many States who abuse human rights and kill innocents daily, from Venezuela to Iran, and even the oppression asserted on Christians in Gaza by their Muslim masters, you will remain a racist hack, in word and deed. Everyday I read such comments from the Irish, the same whose IRA trained in terrorist techniques with the PLO, I am reminded of why one side of my family left Ireland several centuries ago, and the dregs that remain on its shores.
7. Israeli Boycott
Jules Lawrence ,   London   (12.07.12)
To call Israel an apartheid state demonstrates ignorance beyond comprehension. I wasn't aware that in apartheid S.Africa the blacks had members in parliament, the vote, equal opportunities,social security benefits and total integration with the general population as do the Israeli Arabs. It's the people of Gaza & the terrorist in a suit Mr Abbas who should try behaving like members of the human race. I wouldn,t bet on it though!
8. MickT60 - the view of ignorance
S Judah ,   Jerusalem   (12.07.12)
If you want to debate the issue of Israel and the Arabs, thats fine. But please do so from a point of knowledge. Spouting as you have you obviously have no knowledge of the history of the Jews or the Middle East. If I may presume you are a catholic from Ireland, I suggest you start of by reading your New Testament, then go back to The original Old Testament, then try and read Josephus..Then come back and discuss the matter further. Meanwhile let me tell you we Jews are sick and tired of Irish Racism. You would do well to study the vile racism practised by Catholics against the Jews for over a thousand years. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

friend of israel ,   londonderry,n irelan   (12.07.12)
Thats rich coming from the paddy whos community/government supported the IRA for decades and inflicted terror and murder on their neighbours in n.ireland, #3 you are right, the irish have always supported terrorists, ete, ira, now hamas, its in their blood to take up arms, there would never have been anythingbin ireland if it hadnt been for british colonialisation, but the irish are a bankrupt banana state...nobodys. 3 cheers for israel!!!!!
13. #6 william
friend of israel ,   londonerry n ireland   (12.07.12)
You are 100% correct william, these irish republicans have it in their genes to support terrorists, ira, eta, plo etc. Thankfully we defeated the ira terrorists both militarily and politically here in n ireland, they raise their heads from time to time but the security services are doin a great job. Terrorists are murderers and the irish love them worldwide, but they will always be on the losing team. 3vcheers for israel. No surrender
14. Excellent Ms. Tishby, L'Chaim!
Dina ,   USA   (07.29.13)
