1. Hague changed his spots about EU
norbus ,   Jerusalem   (05.24.13)
from sceptic to strongly pro; I reckon he was bought with a huge gift from EU. A man with no principles. Lady Thatcher would turn in her grave, He is as is normal in the Foreign Office an anti Semite. By what right and stretch of imagination, do you treat Palestinian who came into Israel 3 or 4 generations ago from other arab countries as indigenous and treat Jews who lived here and in Middle east for thousands of years till cleansed by Arabs, as occupiers
2. Really?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.13)
The British would rather support those who cold-bloodedly kill British military personnel in horrific fashion? Well, no one can ever accuse the Brits of being smart. They've proven that, time and again. That makes them totally discountable. Idiots. They deserve whatever happens. It won't be pleasant, but .... ask me if I care.
3. Hague
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.24.13)
hague should worry mostly about the islamic terror raging throughout the muslim world, including on the streets of london where terrorists say that it is the targeting of muslims in their lands by the western alliance that makes their blood boil. hague knows full well that jihadists want the entire west out of the middle east and it seems that obama will oblige them. once he achieves this goal, he will sit back and watch the muslims murder each other in great numbers for decades to comes. in this non-war, the question is who will incur the largest casualties, the hapless hypocrites of the west, or the equally determined hypocritical muslims
4. Isn't it Hague, who personally is opposing the settlements?
Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (05.24.13)
It is always important to know who is saying it. So BBC is not biased, when making lists? Nooooo, BBC never was biased against Israel, was it?.......... NYT, Süddeutsche........
5. Who is this damp rag?
Abu Zibby ,   Haifa, IL   (05.24.13)
Look who wants to lecture Israel. Britian lost its character long ago and today savages are roaming the streets with knives and guns. Britian's in the crapper and this impertinent jerk wants to tell other countries what to do? Give me a break..
6. The Minister from Londonistan
Jake in Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.24.13)
The ever dishonest Hague fails to note that Britain's increasing hostility towards Israel is based on the growing (and increasingly fanatical) British Muslim community. Hague's hypocritical criticism of Jewish housing while having NOTHING to say of illegal Muslim housing in the Disputed Territories make his bigotry clear. He has bigger problems at home which he prefers to ignore.
7. Apart from Micronesia.......
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.24.13)
....what country in the world has any interest in giving support to Israel's illegal settlement project ?
8. British murder Scandinavian Riots
ThingsWillChangeNow ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.24.13)
Lets see how his forecast plays out now with the horrific murder in London and the Sweedish Moslem riots in Stockholm
9. Dear Mr Hague
Mike ,   NZ   (05.24.13)
Rather then lecturing Israel about Palistinian occupied lands . . you would do better to contemplate relinquishing control of British occupied Northern Ireland, Girbralter, Malvinas, Channel Is, Scotland, Virgin Is, and that's just to name a few !!! It wasen't so long ago that a certain English King who shall remain nameless was fond of loading Jews onto sailing ships and dropping them of on a sandbar in the Solent at low tide to meet a miserable fate ... that the english dont' like Jews comes as no surprise . . so what's new ?? Take a pill or something and get over it !!
10. Jews have every right to live in their homeland
Zev ,   Israel   (05.24.13)
The fact that this bothers people should not bother us. If we stood up for our rights and strongly proclaimed our rights the world would respect us more.
11. Two State Solution
akuperma   (05.24.13)
He's referring to Charedim and Chilonim and is upset how the Chilonim think the land belongs to them when in reality Ha-Shem gave Eretz Yisrael to the Hareidim. Actually to all Jews, but only Hareidim (and some of the Dati Leumi camp) are willing to fulfill the conditions attached to the grant of land, that is that we get the land in order to fulfill the Mitsvos. Eretz Yisrael belong to the Am ha-Torah before the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Brits or Zionists, and will still belong to us when all the aforementioned groups are just names of dead civilizations known primarily to archeologists. As long as we continue to learn Torah and do the Mitsvos, we have a right to Eretz Yisrael – unlike the zionists who derive their rights from a UN resolution and the barrel of a gun.
12. God Bless you hague, we love you, big fan
TUTU ,   East Jerusalem   (05.24.13)
13. Hague has other worries
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.24.13)
The conservative party is fast losing its support to UKIP thanks to their support for Europe over UK and Islam (like Imam Cameron's apology for yesterday's murder). Hague is particularly unpopular across the political spectrum because of his desire to send UK troops overseas to die for Muslim despots.
14. Israel losing support in Israel, due to FM inciting hate.
Mo ,   Jerusalem   (05.24.13)
15. Hague
Sam Turecki ,   Raanana Israel   (05.24.13)
What do we need every twit coming here and hectoring and lecturing us. Hague( the Brit) of course should be the last one to lecture us Hague be a star and go back your capital Londonistan
16. It has NOTHING to do with 'settlements'
NudNik69   (05.24.13)
As we've all seen recently - Olmert was prepared to sell out Israel wholesale - and Abbas STILL did not take the deal. No, this is all about the VERY EXISTENCE of Israel. Idiots like Hague should try try and get their tiny brains around the REALITY of what this is about. Perhaps he should just shut up.
17. Appeasement...the British governments' standard tool
Gideon78 ,   Cpt South Africa   (05.24.13)
After yesterday's attack you would think the British public or EU public would rethink their opinions. Yet again they use the normal art of appeasement to try and do something...dont they know appeasement did not work in 1929, 1937, 1947, 1948, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2012 and will definitely not work today! The British continue to live in a fairy land!
18. Britain no friend of Israel or the Jews.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (05.24.13)
Britain no friend of Israel or the Jews. No we are not going to relinquish our rights to Judea and Samaria. We are not going to allow the creation of an Islamic, arab terrorist state, aligned with another terrorist state, iran, to be created at the gates of Jerusalem and Gush Dan. The arabs living in Judea and Samaria remain citizens of Jordan, and the arab nation and will exercise their right to vote in Jordan. The arab living in Judea and Samaria will never become citizens of Israel.
19. British turn against Israel because of the moral corruption!
Jouko ,   Finland   (05.24.13)
Not because of the Settlements! Moral corruption and godlessness has nowadays permeated the British Society like almost the whole Europe! What a pity that formely Europe was like center of enlightentment for the wolrd - now it is the most polluted continent!
20. Israel loosing British
JAS ,   London   (05.24.13)
Mr. Hague What support is that then? The support given to Jews trying to get to Palestine prior to 1948? The British support of the Jews when handing over bases to the Arabs upon leaving the mandate? The support in the UN whilst abstaining on the Partition vote? The support of the BBC ever since? The support of Baroness Tonge or the wife of the ex-Prime Minister who justify suicide bombers? With millions of Muslims now settled in the UK and effecting voting patterns, there is no surprise that politicians rush to condemn Israel. G Galloway relies on them for his seat in parliament. (He who thought Sadam and Kadafi were great leaders). There is nothing Israel can do short of ceasing to exist that would placate the British. Stay out of the Israel/Arab conflict and prepare for Jihadist war on your own streets.
21. Britian is being over run by millions of Muslims.... DOH....
Well DOH........   (05.24.13)
Of course they hate Jews and tell their politician: "IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO RIOT AND KILL BRITS.... Then FORCE ISRAEL TO AGREE TO PA State.... IMMEDIATELY! As they continue to import more nice peace loving (non) radical Muslims. Sorry but your Muslim problem is not OUR PROBLEM. THAT'S what Bibi needs to say clearly.
22. Dear Mr Hague
JonC ,   Sydney Australia   (05.24.13)
"Britain looses support in Israel"
23. Losing support over 'settlements?
tiki ,   belgium   (05.24.13)
Israel is losing British support because the Brits are losing their country. Mr. Haig can tell his nonsense to the average Guardian reader, the rest of us is more intelligent than that.
24. haha
JL   (05.24.13)
we are losing islamic colony of britain..who says you were ever an ally?
25. support in Britain
larry ,   Israel   (05.24.13)
The English keep killing the Muslims all over the world, do you think they are losing support from other countries , Do you think England cares'?
26. And NOW SLAM that window shut!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.24.13)
And get out of the way you XXX Brits !
27. yeah Britons prefer Jihadists who strike in London
(05.24.13)
28. HAGUE GO TO HELL WITH YOUR TERRORIST FRIENDS
(05.24.13)
29. Tell what?
albert snow ,   sweden   (05.24.13)
Did Netanyahu tell Hauge that Judea & Samaria is not ockupied territory? No, I guess not. Did Netanyahu tell Hague that Abbas is not an elected president anymore, and having him signing an agreement has no valid juridisticion for any palestinian president and government succeding him? No, I guess not. A 2 state solution is only a great hoax everyone is either too stupid or to afraid to acknowledge. Read my lips: There wont be any 2 state solution! Negotions will fail and then Israel is forced to take unilateral steps to secure it´s security and national interests. And that´ll make the World turn against Israel. But that´s nothing new. Israel has to accept it´s a state the arabs and their fiends around the globe won´t make peace with within maybe hundreds of years.
30. Western cowards afraid to confront Palestinians lecture Jews
Sam ,   Canada   (05.24.13)
The cowardly Western diplomats are afraid to confront Palestinians over their refusal to accept a Jewish majority Israel so they lecture Jews who are no terrorist threat to them. Sheer cowardice.
