1. oh yeah, this is going to bring peace
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (04.21.13)
It is nice to know that there are people who do not have to worry about supporting their families and can do outlandish activities. I really don't believe this will bring peace one iota closer.
2. Actually this makes more sense than the endless American
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.21.13)
guest-appearances of various officials from the Administration. This guy (disturbed as he may be) means well...
3. This while so many Jews stay in Galut
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.21.13)
4. It appears he came by the "safer" route
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (04.21.13)
From this report, he walked to Greece, then went directly to Haifa (presumably by boat). That was a wiser course than taken by that idiot "bride" who walked for peace from her European home in a wedding gown, but whose intended path included the Middle Eastern countries. As I recall, she was killed on the way in Turkey or Syria.
5. Why didn't he walk thru
RhubarbRex ,   Netivot Israel   (04.21.13)
Turkey, Syria & Lebanon?
6. To all the nay-sayers, go suck an egg.

7. 3What is nice about being lonely?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.21.13)
Grass is greener elsewhere.
8. That guy is CRAZY in the coconut...oh well...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.21.13)
9. Was looking for peace.. of mind [his]
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.21.13)
10. Welcome to Israel, the liberal democratic and sovereign...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.21.13)
...nation-state of the Jewish people.
11. Tom, Tom, Tom, LMAO
Wecu ,   The U.K.   (04.21.13)
Tom you are getting better by the HOUR. Thanks for the levity, "disturbed as he may be", LMAO ,,,,,, means well.
12. Reminds me of that bride
Avi   (04.21.13)
Tried to walk all the way to some destination in the M.E in the name of peace, in a wedding dress. Got raped and killed when she exited Europe and walked in Turkey. I don't see description of this guy walking in any Islamic states so I suppose he took the safer route and landed in Haifa by ship. Can't imagine him being safe with that cross on his garments while walking in Turkey, Syria and Lebanon.
13. Lucky he hadn't booked to fly by El Al
Get Real ,   UK   (04.21.13)
for this weekend.
14. Anti Semitism in Sweden
I. Barr ,   USA   (04.22.13)
Dror Feiler is spear heading anti Semitism and anti Israelism is Sweden. He was born in Israel to a family that did not believe the right for Jews to have a state. Being radical anti Israel he actively supported any anti Jewish anti Israel group. Many radical left folks born in Israel became radicalized anti Israel virulent enemies found space in Sweden supported by Swedish radical and anti-Semites.
15. lazarus
EthelCarol ,   USA   (04.22.13)
Instead of spreading his imperialist and racist nonsense in Israel he and his group should walk around Sweden trying to eliminate the racism there.
16. Walking to Jerusalem
Bart Benschop ,   Perth West Australia   (04.24.13)
My friend Fritz Meyer walked from Zurich to the foot of the Alps, established base camps and went alone on skies over the Alps to Italy. and walked all the way through Southern Europe, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon Jordan and Israel. He never took a lift and if someone offered he would say sorry, I am walking.
