1. Jews of the Galut
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.04.14)
Do not say you were not warned... We all knew this was coming.. I personally warned you on these talkbacks. Start making your way to Israel or you will suffer more than insults.. I warn you because we are all family.. I care for Jews that are Jews as I do my family...
2. Racist physician
Benji ,   US   (08.04.14)
Press charges. This bum should not be allowed to practice medicine. Meanwhile, Israeli physicians continue to treat Palestinian patients.
3. Oh yes, "these days" are here & now:they always return!
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.04.14)
4. Legitimate protest and effective.
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (08.04.14)
May seem rather unprofessional but unusual protests are required. Doctor has perfect right to defend himself.
5. Israel is a liability to Diaspora Jews
(08.04.14)
The way Israel has been handling the conflict with Palestinians for decades is a disgrace and only alienates the majority of Diaspora Jews more and more. The rise in Antisemitism is just another reason Diaspora Jews are turning away from Israel.
6. Ah, another example of European "tolerance"
American Sabrah ,   Israel   (08.04.14)
It comes to show you that no matter how secularized enlightened, and cultured these Europeans claim to be, the ancient outdated anti-semetic views of Jews still dwell within their dark hearts. And I thought we were backwards.
7. Physician refuses to help
Guido ,   Milano Italy   (08.04.14)
For every stupidity Abbas and Co run right and left complaining. Isn't refusing to take care of a medically needing person by a 'physician' enough to press charges in all available channels?
8. Over the past three weeks we have seen the Jews in the
Al   (08.04.14)
galut cower with very tepid support for Israel. Thus it is plain to see that they have voted with their feet and have thrown their lot with the goyim with whom they chose to live and plan their 'future'. They have been warned time and time again to no avail. Oy ...what to do? I say we have done enough. They have been warned a 1000 times to no avail. They chose to live among the goyim, so, then let them be. I am more concerned with the Jews of Israel. My only sons live in Israel. They have no will whatsoever of returning to a Canada. I plan to join them someday. I do not even encourage them in the least of ever returning to Canada. They are my legacy. They are the only future of my late holocaust survivor family. Israel is the only future for the Jews.
9. A non-Jewish Belgian nurse once said
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.04.14)
she doesn't buy in Jewish shops but she only trusts Jewish doctors. Jewish doctors are the best.Theyare devoted to ALL patients whatever their race. I once was in a plane when a man had a heart attack.First a non-Jewish doctor tried to save him.after a few minutes he decided that he is his dead.Then, a Jewish doctor came and did not give up until the reanimation of his patient Let this Belgian "rasha"doctor treat his gaza friends..
10. Belgian or "Belgian"?
(08.04.14)
Was the physician an ethnic Belgian or a Muslim? Where I live basically all anti semitic incidents involves Muslim (arab in particular) immigrants.
11. Watch Tibi defend the Doctor and blame the Jews
YMBMY ,   Modiin, Israel   (08.04.14)
Like Prossor said at the UN - They never take any share of the blame.
12. The terrorist who shot the visitors at the Jewish museum
A ,   Belgium   (08.04.14)
is a muslim, the owner of the cafe who refused Jewish entry is a muslim Turk, and even though the Belgian newspapers would not print the doctors name, only his initials, I would wager that he is also a muslim. The average Belgian is politically apathetic, most crimes committed against Jews are by muslims, which of course does NOT justify Belgium or any other European for allowing these crimes to happen
13. Peter Morris
Jerome ,   New Zealand   (08.05.14)
Just wait until you or your family members are diagnosed with oral cancer. Oops the only specialist is based in Greenlane ....... And is Jewish. Please, be a real man with real balls and refuse treatment.
14. I'm a Jew. Are you going to kill me too,
erinpriest   (08.05.14)
France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and Britain?
15. #4 Defend himself from what?
Gary ,   USA   (08.05.14)
A grandmother with a fractured rib? Sue his sorry ass for negligence. He admitted wrong doing. What's the physician's name? Make sure no one else suffers from his inadequate treatment.
16. This Belgian doctor should indeed
Not on my watch   (08.05.14)
have to be eliminated from the Belgian medical Association and sent to Gaza where he surely will not have to treat Jewish patients.
17. Shameful physician. No more comment.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (08.05.14)
18. Poor Jews
libi4ever ,   Libya   (08.06.14)
+4000 years and you are still in trouble with the whole world, maybe there is a good reason for that or the whole world is just Anti-Semitic ...
19. #18 Take a lesson
Benji ,   US   (08.07.14)
4000 years and still going strong. We outlive our enemies. For example, Libya is now in shambles, overrun by terrorists who behead, rape and destroy everything in sight. Syria is a ghost town with over 180,000 dead and thousands of homeless refugees. Turkey in a downfall. Iran the capital of repression and poverty. Just to name a few. By the way, it doesn't look like Libya will be forever thanks to your Muslim brothers.
20. I hope this Hypocrite loses his license-what
Dina   (08.27.14)
happened to the Hypocritic Oath, Dr. Cruel?
