1. the dead sea was never palestinian area
ghostq   (10.24.13)
the arabs now want it because greed for money, they discover Israel makes money, they want it, something that never belong to them, and no arab village ever lived there. unless you think about Jordan from the other side.
2. Last time SHE'LL be allowed to make money in ISRAEL
Judy ,   Israel   (10.24.13)
They will stop her at the border and send her back to the US. (Why didn't she do the concert in Ramallah???)(because they would have killed her)
3. There Never Was a Country Called Palestine
emanon ,   USA   (10.24.13)
In modern terms, all those backing that name want to bring back the British Empire and become subjects of the Crown. Israel was the only independent country on that land and the name has stood for thousands of years and will stand for thousands more!
4. yawn
Y ,   Israel   (10.24.13)
5. In 1948, after 2000 years, Palestine became Israel.
Larry ,   Raanana   (10.24.13)
What is so hard to understand or accept?
6. Palestine was/is Jewish
USA   (10.24.13)
Fact, fact and fact. So called modern "Palestinians" are Arab and there is no need for another Arab country. There ar already 22 Arab nations on over 99% of Middle East land. There is however only one teeny tiny Jewish state on less than 1% of ME land. Once people are educated with the facts they stop supporting the Arab side.
7. Who is Rihanna?
John ,   Herzliya   (10.24.13)
8. BDS failed, so...
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (10.24.13)
This is clearly a group of people who were frustrated that she decided to perform in Israel and needed to vent over that, and to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
9. Her "fans"
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (10.24.13)
I would bet that at least 3/5 of all the anti israel posters on her pages aren't even her fans and are just a bunch idiots stirring up trouble on purpose.
10. Judy, your ignorance doesn't know boudaries
Non Jewish Immigrant ,   Haifa   (10.24.13)
Have you ever been to Ramallah? They have concerts and festivals with girls singing and dancing, they have a beer festival (alcohol) and a very nice night life! So your fantasy of a Muslim country who'd kill any girl who's on a show is just plain fantasy
11. We can live with pumpkins who believe Israel
Miron ,   USA   (10.24.13)
should not be but accept Jewish people living where we are. They don't hurt people. The trouble is people who say "Israel is cool but needs peace" and throw Jewish people out of homes.
12. Look guys something you should know!!
Philip Barnett ,   London , UK   (10.24.13)
Israel is real , it's in the name. And it is forever.
13. Yes she did get over,,,,,,,,
Barbara Stoufer ,   Vermont, U,S.   (10.24.13)
on you Jews,,,,,, RiRi got paid and flaved, just like Alicia Keys. These black performers know Israel is inherently racist and that they could never live there, in this racist society/country even with all their wealth and fame. I don't know why this modern Israel always wants to be "Hip" and "Cultural" while being so vehemitley hateful towards some peoples that did live there before all these Euro-tribes and DNA "Arab" peoples became Israeli Jews. Israel you got problems but RiRi "Show" got over on you folks,,,,,,,, poor, poor young Israelis, if they went to get a history book, for what ever reason the country was called Palestine for a long time even by white Euro historians with maps in hand searched, found, and went to, guess what Palestine,,, check it out.
14. Rihanna
Yossi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.24.13)

15. is she on drugs?
daniel ,   the world   (10.24.13)
16. who cares?
Roland ,   Israel Jerusalem   (10.24.13)
Who cares about those shtuyot on Instagram????
17. There is no Palestine
Angela P ,   The Haque, Holland   (10.24.13)
There is no Palestine, never was before. Palestines belong in Jordania. How come this Rihanna is so confused?
18. #10 Question, Gregg...
Tahl   (10.24.13)
If you've been to Ramallah like you say you have, and if it is as tolerant and accepting as you say it is, then tell me - did you and your Arab boyfriend dare to hold hands and kiss in public over there? In the open street? Or this is something you have the guts to do only in the horrible, oppressive Israel?
19. Riri
Alan in Tel-Aviv ,   Tel-Aviv Israel   (10.24.13)
What a brouhaha Riri made in Israel.

rahamim ,   usa   (10.24.13)
mackdee 3. :). . . 241 Fans. The Israelites predate Muslims/Arabs in the region by 24 centuries. There was Jewish Monarchy in 10th century BCE. Jerusalem was the capital of only the Jewish Kingdoms, and holiest site to Jewish people which is mentioned nearly 700 times in the Old Testament. There had been Jewish continual Jewish presence in region for over 3500 years. There was never a State of Palestine ever! That's a myth. The region was a desolate underpopulated region once again prior to British taking over region in 1917. The region was granted to be the National Homeland for the Jewish people once again. As was stated in Mandate of Palestine Jewish people were there by right not of sufferance, & were granted political, civil right to reconstitute in their ancestral homeland which they were earlier ethnically cleansed. http://contenderministries.org/middleeast/timeline.php.
21. Just another ignorant American............
Jason   (10.24.13)
22. Rihanna, HaShem gave the land
Ezra ,   US   (10.25.13)
Do your own research.
23. Israel vs foreign elements
Brod ,   USA   (10.25.13)
Israel should not allow any foreign elements in its soil that is anti-Israel. Israel's enemies use them for their propaganda against Israel.
24. It was the fans not Rihanna herself
naava ,   jerusalem   (10.25.13)
that caused the brouhaha.....Those attacking the performer are mistaken.

Birdi ,   Israel   (10.27.13)

Inshallah, at least you got that right.
