31. #26 Please BDS your life away
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.25.13)
It's the fringe element using campuses for their agenda. Students serious about education have no time for this nonsense. But you and your left brain benassi are the typical BDS bsers.
32. 25 Stephen NY, precisely
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.25.13)
despite Hague's unpleasantness, the uk and Israel have signed an unprecedented memorandum on scientific cooperation between the two countries. shabbat shalom.
33. Join JStreet, JCall, Yachad in their fight AGAINST BDS
Rika Chaval   (05.25.13)
The author doesn't seem to know what he is talking about when mixing up JStreet & Beinart with BDS & Chomski, although the difference is elementar: The former are pro Israel / pro peace, the latter are opposed the the very idea of there being a jewish and democratic state of Israel.
34. #5 To Eaglebeak
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (05.25.13)
And we have you , Sarah B and Chaim et al to remind us by that there are intolerant, racist, and "stupid" Jews. But I don't blame your parents for your perversitiy, nor will I blame your children. I will only pity them --and those who have to deal with them.
35. I boycott everything israeli and try to get others to boycot
Abdalla   (05.25.13)
36. Please be sure to let us know who falls for BDS
Mark ,   London, UK   (05.25.13)
so that I can boycott them in turn. I know about the disgraceful behaviour of the Cooperative movement in the UK and the Kirk in Scotland....but a little bit bemused about the rest.
37. #34. Israeli leftists wrong on every single major issue.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.25.13)
#34. The fact is that the Israeli left has been dangerously wrong on every single major issue since Israel's establishment. Everything from Oslo, to Disengagement to freeing terrorists to...everything. On the other hand, the Patriotic Right have been right on target in every case. So what credibility do far leftists like you deserve? Exactly none. Moreover, the positions of leftists, like yourself, insult human intelligence. It is obvious to any literate school child that turning Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp is pure lunacy.
38. #29, Clue...minority Jews can't dominate Arab region forever
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.25.13)
39. # 35 That's really going to hurt.....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.25.13)
It's a sad day when you are boycotted by someone who has nothing of any worth so you can't boycott them in return.
40. #35 If you boycott everything Israeli
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.25.13)
You won't be able to post on this site, use a computer, a cell phone or benefit from all the wonderful medical inventions and devices from Israel. You'll miss out on some awesome hummus and Israeli music which I understand is popular in the Arab World. You'll also put some Arab Israelis and Palestinians out of work. But we all know people who boycott Israeli products don't really care about the Palestinians. Isn't that correct Abdalla?
41. who cares
(05.26.13)
Israel wouldn't stand up for americans, so frankly who gives a damn. All they do is lie, cheat, still, and use, when they are not being so rude you could puke. USA should forget Israel and call it a day, and I should get the hello out of this nasty little country.
42. I fight BDS in Switzerland and Europe
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (05.26.13)
I invite you to look at my Website http://rememberamalek.blogspot.co.il/ ist all in neat German.
43. Rabbis for human rights in Israel
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (05.26.13)
are supporters of the BDS-Movement. This israeli NGO, the infamous RHR.ORG.IL are a Group of apparent Rabbis, or is it rabies? are a gang of anti israelian hyppocrites. They must be outlawed.
44. America's support to Israel
Jadzia ,   UK   (05.26.13)
To 41 What a nincompoop you are! America needs Israel as much as Israel needs America. Israel has defended American strategic interests in the ME and still does so. If America is taken over by nincompoops like you Israel should drop America!
45. Expose where these BDS get their money
Yosi ,   Gilo-Jerusalem   (05.26.13)
It will destroy them completely. It'll come out that they are funded by terror groups looking to destroy, not only Israel but also the US. IE Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc.
46. Hawking Et al.
ltrail ,   United States   (05.26.13)
The traits that made physicist Stephen Hawking so well respected are fragile and in his past. He certainly has lost respect, by using his scholarly recognition to hurt Jews and the State of Israel. Yes, people like Hawking live their lives, then pass away into oblivion. Thank G-d.
47. # 40...Do you really believe the BS you write?
Edithann ,   USA   (05.26.13)
Israel doesn't need more propaganda BS from the likes of you and Sarah...Israel needs some reality truths... So if what you say is true..Why isn't the world paying homage to Israel?...After all, Israel is freeing the world and doing so much good for mankind with their (immaginary) inventions, medical devices and hummus..So then what's the problem? Oh, that's right it's anti-Semitism.... You're an idiot and need some serious help... TATA
48. You're fooling no one
Ha!   (05.26.13)
"...holding the world's only Jewish state to a far different and unrealistically high standard than any other democracy". Really? Which other democracies have Israel's illegal settlement enterprise? Which other democracy has kept millions of people under occupation and military law for 45 years? Boohoo, poor Israel is so picked on, and all it does is ethnically cleanse, steal land, and run an Apartheid system in which the people who have been on the land for generations are second-class citizens to someone who just stepped off a plane from Brooklyn. Cry me a river.
49. #47 You react so strongly because......
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.27.13)
What I said is true and you can't dispute it. Israel stands on its her own merit and doesn't need 24/7 attention like you. It's not a matter of paying homage to Israel. This BDS movement is an anti-Israel hate movement, not a pro-Palestinian movement. So TATA, see if you can respond logically. Your tantrums are so unnecessary.
50. # 49...If it's strong, it's because you stil don't get it...
Edithann ,   USA   (05.28.13)
Israel is freeing the world and doing so much good for mankind with their (immaginary) inventions, medical devices and hummus..So then what's your problemo with anti-Semitism..? Is it an over-reaction of just another case of Israeli BS... Do you really live in the USA? I can't believe it... TATA
51. delusion
elke ,   usa   (05.28.13)
The key computer components, the cell phone...these are American inventions. Google them and see.
