I'm with you,start your research today with what you have in your house(everything)that is Israeli and throw it away,then you can go and live in a cave for the rest of your life.DUMBDUMB.
32. #25
aaron ,   toronto   (03.03.13)
BINGO,YOU WIN THE PRIZE.That's what it's all about,us the providers and them the peasants receiving.Israel will always provide the world with medicine and technology while the antisemites with despise us for being on top and them under us.
33. End Israeli retreat & watch our problems disappear..
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.03.13)
Anti-Semites and Israel bashers are not the real problem. The real problem is Israeli concessions and retreat. Every major Israeli problem is rooted in Israeli concessions and retreats. This included terror, Lebanon Wars, Gaza Wars, rockets from Lebanon and Gaza etc. Rather than contemplating retreat, Israel should retake our lands we so foolishly abandoned. End Israeli retreat and watch our problems disappear.
34. #22. Israel "occupies" her own ancestral heartland.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.03.13)
#22 Avramele. Israel "occupies" her own more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland. Countless legal scholars have incontrovertibly proven Judea and Samaria belong to Israel. Even the terrorist P.A. won't publicly debate the issue as MK Danny Ayalon challenged them to. Even they know Judea and Samaria belong to Jews.
35. Boycott of Israel
DISCHEM ,   Israel USA   (03.03.13)
WHY NOT SEND ISRAELI LIKE ME TO TALK AT THE VARIOUS COLLAGES. I WILL TELL THE THESE FUTRE LEADERS OF THE WORK THAT ARAB DOCTORS DO ISRAEL AND THE EQUALLITY GIVEN TO THE ISRAELI ARABS AT OUR HOTPITALS.. WE NEED THE US ISRAELI WHO LIVE HERE TO TELL THE REAL STORY. MOST OF THE KIDS IN THE UNVT. HAVE BEEN TO ISRAEL.
36. To: Dischem at No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.03.13)
It wouldn't do any good. You're dealing with starry-eyed and not particularly bright anti-Semites. They've made their decision .... and, by G-d, they aren't going to let the truth stand in their way. They are completely discountable. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
37. Universities
Get Real ,   UK   (03.03.13)
#34 Dischem -you will need to move fast whilst there is still freedom of speech and opportunity to debate Israeli matters at UK Universities. And who are today's students who will figure prominently amongst the future leaders?
38. #28 Sarah B
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (03.03.13)
At one time your comments were refreshing, original and made the point clearly. However as a staunch supporter of Israel for yonks and talkbacks myself against the likes of Benassi and his ilk, I do believe that you should change the constant response, of " Get rid of your mobile and computer" rather old hat and repetetive.
39. #26 - "Actions" better than words ? You must mean Syria !
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.03.13)
"Actions " like in Syria with 60,000 people dead are better than words ? Or you like actions of Hamas and Hezbolla launching rockets into Israel. You never dealt with any facts in your T.B..... all you do is repeat old worn out slogans.
40. The BDS Children's Club
ltrail ,   United States   (03.04.13)
Those who participate in the BDS campaign better not be found using prescription drugs made in Israel. I've made my decision to purchase some red Yardin wine, once again.
41. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.04.13)
Sorry if you're bored. But idiots who support the BDS movement need to know exactly what such support entails. It does mean giving up their mobile phones and throwing away their computers. Among other things. To stop short of that would be -- well -- hypocritical, don't you agree? So, let's see those individuals in thrall with the BDS movement do it right -- or do it not at all.
42. Sarah ... The Mouth With All The Answers
World Citizen ,   the world   (03.04.13)
The only trouble with her is she won't move to Israel where the leaders of the country can listen to her wisdom in real time 24/7.
43. It's Anti Israel Not Anti Semitism!
David Dalan ,   London UK   (03.04.13)
So...Another call for Propaganda to counter the actions of BDS in the West! The article says-‘There are many Israeli professors who go abroad……They have the familiarity and ability to present the complicated reality in the Middle East.’ There is nothing complicated about the 46 years of brutal Israeli military occupation and expansion in Palestine! That is why BDS exists! Even the Jews of the rest of the world are getting fed up of being blamed for the excesses of the Israeli Government.
44. # 15 ...Israel is in dire need of you...just drop
Edithann ,   USA   (03.04.13)
off your US passport and hop that plane to 'fight for Israel'...but be sure you take your anti-hallucinating drugs with you..I don't think Israel has enough for their own and you would certainly deplete their stores TATA... ..
45. No, it's not
Rau   (03.05.13)
It's not anti Israel, it's not anti semitism BUT anti occupation.the writer has been wrong from top to bottom.
46. #35
Rau   (03.05.13)
And don't forget also to mention about the living condition in area C. I m sure the student are anxious to learn the truth.
47. To No. 44
Bertram ,   London, UK   (03.05.13)
May I make an additional suggestion: that Sarah B comes to the West Bank to explain - to just one Arab family - why they need to leave their home and to go to live in Jordan. I am sure if she tells them they would be treated no worse than a Sudatan German or an Okinawan that they would understand.
48. @47 44@ coming from people who colonalyze the world
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (03.05.13)
who took the ressources of all the countries they were do you have some lessons to give ?
49. @2 a lie repeated thousand time won't become true
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (03.05.13)
israel is not a racist country there are plenty of example to expose your lies there are a lot of arab MPS ,arabs are treated equally in many areas in the israeli society like health,education ,transport or work !! many problems remain because of a state of war but i don't think israeli arabs would live a better life in an arab country ! in the west bank there are security needs that provoke a lot of tension yes there are roads for jewish resident and palestinian resident but i don't call it racism at all israel has to protect its cityzen against terrorism when an agreement will be signed between israel and its neighbour all those barrier will disappeared
50. @43 you contradict your self in the same phrase
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (03.05.13)
"jews of the rest of the world are getting fed up of being blamed for the excesses of the Israeli Government. " why are the jews of the rest of the world are being blamed are they israelis or cityzen of their own country ? they are blamed because all those jew haters think that israel and jews are the same thing this is a called the new anti-semitism
51. To No. 48.
Bertram ,   London, UK   (03.05.13)
To my knowledge, I have not colonised any country. You are from Paris. Are you responsible for the Napoleonic empire? Did you personally colonise parts of Africa?
52. Boycott
marian ,   Romania   (03.05.13)
I'm treating my mom's dementia with all sort of medications, including Rivastigminum created in the 90' at University of Yerusalim by a group led by Martha Weinstock-Rose. I look foreword for more medical developments. I hope that the unknown savants in the Haredi community (they must be many because of in-breeding) will finally come out.
53. #4 anti-BDS is fact free politics in its purest form
Myconius ,   L'wd   (03.07.13)
The main reason why very few scolars are willing to participate in the way Yoaz wants, is that the don't want to be caught telling lie after lie just to defend the undefendable.
