Are all Israeli politicians, elected to talk, argue & discuss Israeli politics! The world boycott against Israel is about *punishing it for being independent & successful and has NOTHING to do whatsoever with the world's ''concern for Palestinians. It all boils down to old banal Jew hate, disguising itself under the perfect cover of Human Rights! Once Israel gives in, it's lost, for the next phase is already in the making, because the world has recognized that it works. Until the Jews are not driven into the Jewish Ghetto ready to be sacrificed the hyena's of the world will not let go. Make no mistake! NOTHING has changed, despite those who try to convince us to believe in fairy tales! Jews always have to pay a price to live!
2. All's fair in boycott of Israel
Voice of Reason ,   Here & Now   (02.02.14)
Yoaz, it is safe to assume you translated this from Hebrew. I truly hope it makes more sense in Hebrew than it does in English.
3. Quit complaining
David ,   On this planet   (02.02.14)
It all started inside Israel Check Ben Gurion university,Jerusalem and Tel aviv ones clean up your basement first, your supreme court and your Kenesett and then complain
4. #3. End Israel's tolerance of leftist treachery.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.02.14)
#3 makes a good point. Our enemies can only hurt us when we empower them to do so. All the evils of BDS were born and nurtured by leftist Israeli professors, judges, politicians and publicized in Haaretz and other leftist rags. The real problem is our tolerance of leftist treachery at home.
5. # 1 You should know that ...
Stan ,   Israel   (02.02.14)
When the world began boycotting SA we heard the same story "Because of the boycott the poor Blacks are suffering more than us" You are sooo wrong about the reasons for the boycott. Learn about the SA boycott which lasted about 25 years and you will see the similarity of the underdog not being given basic human rights.
6. #5. Vile fear mongering & odious comparison.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.02.14)
What can you expect from the likes of Stan? Vile fear mongering to try to scare Israel into self destruction. Plus an absolutely odious comparison with South Africa; standard fare for Israel's most vicious enemies. That is exactly what Stan always delivers.
7. (5) YOU should learn about the SA boycot
tiki ,   belgium   (02.02.14)
Israel is nothing like South Africa and that's why this boycott is pure about Jew hate and not about 'concerns for Palestinians. Palestinians who live in peace under their own government, get money from the world without working, won't be bothered by Israel if they don't blow up Israeli's and can even feed their children on a hate menu in their schools. The only problem Palestinians have is how to get rid of Israel......all of Israel. As the Europeans always have had a problem with Jews and especially independent & successful Jews, the two have become natural partners. But as Jews have survived Inquisition, Pogroms & Holocaust, they will survive boycotts from Jew haters.
8. # 5
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.02.14)
Under Apartheid, how many blacks served in the government? There is no comparison between South Africa and Israel on any level.
9. Liars and hypocrites ,...
split ,   US   (02.02.14)
If this sodastream owners are so concern about Palestinians they would locate their business in Palestine not in illegal settlement ,...
10. Arabs have had a boycott since 1948
Mordechai   (02.03.14)
The world has been ignoring the Arab boycott from 1948 and will continue to ignore it.
11. #5 Stan
Raoul ,   Herzliya, Israel   (02.03.14)
You suffer from an obsession that the Israeli/Palestinian problem is akin to SA apartheid. Without going into a whole list of differences, you know perfectly well what those differences are, and should be honest enough to differentiate.
12. Oxfam's unstated REAL REASON
Louis Benard ,   Los Angeles, USA   (02.09.14)
Coca-Cola is one of their biggest sponsors, and they deservedly feel threatened by Sodastream.
