31. I am not boycotting israel
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (03.25.14)
I am boycotting the settlements. Ensuring settlement products are correctly labelled enables me to be able to buy products from Israel proper The only people who could have any objection to this are those who have an economic interest in the settlement project
32. #5 yeah good luck with that... go ahead lose another war
you get no real ,   American sympathy   (03.25.14)
33. a bunch of old antisemites
boycott them   (03.25.14)
It is Israel who needs to boycott any activity related to those bunch of old antisemites. Ban activity of any Ngo working with them
34. carter's hypocrisy
tom ,   toronto, canada   (03.25.14)
so mr carter can support the national aspirations of a 23rd arab country, along with the plo's racist policy of not one single jew on "palestinian land", but cannot support the principle of a national homeland for the jewish people, based on the balfour declaration, the league of nations, and the un. not only is he hypocritical, but also irrelevant. he can go spend what time he has left with his arab sponsors and their livestock.
35. Israel is the Jewish state with an Arab minority....
Bob K ,   Orlando FL USA   (03.25.14)
In the same way, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are all called 'Arab states" are members of the Arab League and often have large non-Arab populations including Berbers (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) Kurds (Syria and Iraq) or Jews. Yet no other country including Israel calls these Arab states, 'racist' or says they are 'exclusively Arab. They have Arab majorities as Israel has Arab and non-Arab minorities and is still the Jewish state. Has carter even considered this? Probably not since he is uncritically pro-Arab. The PA's refusal to publicly accept Israel as the Jewish state is because the PA hopes to somehow, sometime transfer enough Arabs into Israel to turn it into an Arab state called....... fill in the blank!
36. maybe all these 'gutmenschen' should go to mekka
Dani ,   ta - il   (03.25.14)
oh no, they are not allowed in... wow and that is not apartheid... bunch of hypocrits and more correct jewhaters striving for a final solution
37. #20 Belgiuuuuuuuuuuuuum
Harold ,   USA   (03.25.14)
You again????????? It seems you were asleep when Israel used napalm bombs on Lebanon. Some are still alive and not exploded. Wise-up..........
38. #10 Belgiuuuuuuuuuum
Harold ,   USA   (03.25.14)
You again. # 5 is right try to listen to her and stop using your peanut size brain.
39. President James Earl Carter
Zippy ,   USA   (03.25.14)
President Carter, you are wrong. Israel never demanded Arab Palestinians to become Jews. It has always declared Israel to be a Jewish State. That has been the goal of Jewish nationalists around Zion-Jerusalem-Land of Israel aka Zionists since Herzl, Ben Gurion, Jabotinsky, and so on. Israel's 1948 Declaration had declared Israel a Jewish State. To ask Israeli Jews to give that up by calling it a new demand is a falsification of history, and an injustice against Jews in Israel.
40. Award Carter a Soda Stream
Ron ,   oc us   (03.25.14)
41. No labeling means no choice
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (03.25.14)
I am happy to buy and use Israeli products and services but not those which are made in and offered from the Westbank by settlers and the companies they own or work for. So as long as there is no labeling 'made in WB', I am forced to boycot all Israeli products and services (and please skip the bragtalk about medicine and high-tech please, so bored by that childish chutzpah).
42. Interesting - boycott West Bank products and you
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.25.14)
end up boycotting Arab labor - Arab Palestinian way of making a living. So, you are not hurting Israel - you are hurting the West Bank.
43. #28 I wouldn't trust a "a guy like Jimmy Carter"
A ,   Belgium   (03.25.14)
as far as I can spit, because when he was president, I and thousands of other AMERICANSI were waiting in line at the gas station to fill our cars because of fuel shortages, and I was spending too much time only working part-time in my trade because the economy was sick, just like now. And than there were 8 AMERICANS killed during the Iranian hostage when Carter botched the rescue operation. Of course you probably never experienced anything like that. Carter was a wimp just like Oblabla, which made him a non-threatening entity, especially to China and the ex-USSR. Now run along and play with your toys, bumpkin and leave politics to those who know what they are talking about.
44. Other Peoples and Nations Engaged In Much Worse
joyce fraser ,   USA   (03.25.14)
activities when they fought for their own country's independence. And now they say that Israelis and the Jewish Minority People can't even have their own small country? Hypocrisy to the max!
