What do you call Bibi's 'red line' or AIPAC, israel firster, neo-con goon's crap if not scare/warmongering ?,...
62. Great to see talkbackers like #35 here
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (02.28.13)
Someone who bills himself as a British postgraduate law student comes to explain that censorship of those who come from countries with whose policies he disagrees is, in fact, the kind of thing which characterizes a "great institution". It is great to have a first-hand example of the kind of infantile thinking which apparently now passes for intelligent in the UK's current university system. Yes, the same university system whose great obsession is reportedly with finding ways to avoid talking to people from Israel.
63. Never again means never again - for all people
David   (02.28.13)
Jews always say that people weren't quick enough and didn't care enough to stop the oppression, murders and apartheid in 1930s Europe. So now people ARE acting more quickly when they see the same kind of actions taken by a government, and Jews are angry? Why? Because this time it's Israel, and it's "only non-semites" being murdered? Too bad. Never again. Remember it.
64. UK is turning into a third world country
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (02.28.13)
the united kingdom is abandoning the traditions of democracy and embracing anarchy and chaos where immigrants, mostly from muslim countries, feel free to impose their totaliatarian values on the native british population. the existence of the eu, and especially the council of europe, are accelerating this process by having open borders and over rulling decisions of uk domestic courts so that even convicted terrorists cannot be deported. unless the political class wakes up and does something, in two decades british people will be foreigners in their own land.
65. Israel has no friend in British Education.
(02.28.13)
Well, when I watch SKYNews it seems that British Education is in a sorry state and your comment, Syed, says it all! Your real ignorance is the use of Apartheid. You see, British Syed, I grew up in South Africa under Apartheid and you haven't a clue what you are talking about! In fact, some of the worst treatment handed out to Blacks in the time of Apartheid was by the Indian Community who was and still is mainly Muslim! The real Apartheid in Israel is actually in Palestine, a Non-Observer State, whose "President" has called for a "Jew Free" country! The Israeli Arabs are FULL CITIZENS of the State of Israel and enjoy all the rights of democracy including Freedom of Speech and Expression which in most the Muslim Countries of this World, Palestine included, would result in imprisonment or death! I would remind you in your ignorance that an Israel hater, Hanin Zoabi, who took part in the Marmara Episode and encouraged the attacks on Israeli soldiers, is an elected Member of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset!, How many Muslim states would have allowed this or even let her live? How many Muslim states would have granted Parliamentary Immunity and not the death penalty? Education requires an open mind which you clearly don't have and so you too symbolize British Education!
66. To the Postgrad Syed!
Claude ,   London   (02.28.13)
To Postgraduate student Syed. The fact that as a pg student you compose such an appalling response, with poor spelling, syntax and grammar suggests that your abilities as a student and your University's willingness to host you, confirms the demise of academia and intellectual skill in the UK. The idea that IL govt policies are comparable to SA apartheid is an insult to those who suffered under Apartheid, and a tactic that evidently has failed to inspire the vast majority of UK public opinion. BDS is largely ignored by the UK public outside of a few impoverished campuses and Trade Unions with rapidly falling memberships

Birdi ,   Israel   (02.28.13)
kudos for a good post.
68. 47 - You really don't want to go up this path.
Expat ,   Adelaide   (03.01.13)
You are the last one to protest about hooliganism and racism on the soccer fields. Been to a soccer game in Poland lately? Have you heard the horrendous antisemitic slurs, and seen the der-sturmer like banners that your Polish brothers hold over there? Even Lazio's famed racist fans look pale in comparison. One would easily think we are still 70 years back. But then again, it's hardly surprising from the only country to have post-WW2 pogroms, and which drinks its antisemitism from the mother's milk. You are a prime example of that.
69. britain sells its "education" to the world,
sweeter ,   far away   (03.01.13)
especially to mohammedans, it's a big cash cow. look at the london school of economics and its ties to libya, exposed when ghadafi fell. there are numerous other instances. to make sure the mohammedan customers get value for money israelis, zionists, even jews are set-up like this often enough by the british educational establishment. there is also a concommittant frissson of no jew is going to tell us, better us etc..
70. to 61
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (03.01.13)
What I call AIPAC, is a news agency, and American/Israeli lobbying group, advocating pro Israel policies in US...Is it a crime against humanity ? Where is the "war mongering" element here ? Israel has the full right and duty to defend the sovereignity of their borders...There is nothing you can say to win an argument against Israel's actions...
71. Hey Johan
niv ,   Israel   (07.11.13)
thanks for your support, it's good to know people like you are out there peace
72. Dear Yohan
Itsik ,   Israel   (07.15.13)
Thank you for your words but i would like to correct something, the honest truth is that first they will come to you guys, they will take your country will degenerate your culture, take your freedoms and then when we are alone they will come for us. Israel is not blind to the realty around us and fights it even if the EU is blind and suicidal. i fear for the EU... i fear for the future.
