31. Sign the petition!
Howie Feltersnatch ,   London, UK   (08.27.13)

32. BDS is a sick, anti-Semitic movement, and
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (08.27.13)
it's amazing that it includes people who call themselves "rabbis" in such movements as Reconstructionism under cover of "Rabbis for Human Rights". As everyone here points out, the real lack of human rights is in most Moslem countries, African countries, and so forth. But it's so much easier to pick on Israel. We don't kill them.
33. If Pals turn screws on Israel,Israel should turn screws too
Sam ,   Canada   (08.27.13)
Boycotting Israel is just another Palestinian effort like terrorism or war to bring Israel down. Israel should let Palestinians know that there are no free attacks on Israel and Israel will respond to every Palestinian attack whether by announcing a new settlement or whatever.

Natan ,   USA   (08.27.13)

The proper response to the anti-semites claiming that a boycott of Israel today is like the boycott of South Africa during the apartheid era is that the boycott of Israel today is no different than the Nazi boycott of German Jews in the 1930's.
36. #1 :-)
mark ,   ca   (08.27.13)
I had a pleasure to meet Sir Tom few times. Humble man and a great singer. I guess you prefer local "arsim".
37. The Voice
Steve ,   Palm Beach, U.S.A.   (08.27.13)
To those who only know Tom Jones through his late 60's hits, I suggest a listen to his last two CD's, Praise and Blame, and Spirit in the Room. Fabulous!
38. BDS Bullying
Cheryl ,   Chicago, IL   (08.27.13)
The BDS should be sued for their bullying, death threats and harassment, all of which are illegal. Good for Tom Jones and all the other performers for standing up to them!
39. tom jones
miklos ,   malmö   (08.27.13)
some idiots idea to bojcot finaly kepeng rock Concerts in israel and international artists coming performing there.I Think is wonderful it is tovard agreement beween the sides .glad to see the development of free art flow between the countries
40. See that the netherlands
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (08.27.13)
have pulled out of building a white water plant in East Jerusalem at the behest of the Dutch government. Yet Y net chooses to go with whether Tom Jones will sing in Tel aviv. Not unusual I suppose Netanyahu will not want the Israeli people to know the truth, and judging from the talkbacks here the settlers are beginning to panic. The days the settlers held the people of Israel hostage is coming to an end

47. Apartheid in Israel? LOL
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.29.13)
Israel's "The Voice" 2012 winner was an Arabic Christian. Israel's "Big Brother" 2013 winner is an Ethiopian. What kind of apartheid is that ?
48. Like Israel was reborn after 2,000 years to give in to BDS.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.30.13)
The reasoning behind the BDS movement is ludicrous. Suppose they succeed in blackmailing and threatening a few artists not to come to Israel. So what? These cretins must believe that Israel was reborn after 2,000 years to give in to their petty evil. They are truly dumber than a sack of rocks. Meanwhile, they could easily be prosecuted for many of their sick tactics and they will be.
49. #40 Days brainless leftists hold Israel hostage are ending..
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.30.13)
#Sarah. Your posts are never truth based. This one is no exception. Judea and Samaria residents are supported by the vast majority of Israeli Jews. Polls released earlier in August prove that. Most of Israel reveres Judea and Samaria and the number that does so is growing all the time. The days brainless leftists, like you, hold Israel hostage are ending.
50. I have been boycotting Arab products for years
Mark ,   London, UK   (09.02.13)
Oil is the only thing they have which we need. I use as little as possible.
