1. boycott
Ralf ,   Paris   (08.12.14)
They don't really care about Gaza. Just bad reason to steal like thieves
2. Looters, arrest & sue them!
tiki ,   belgium   (08.12.14)
Invading other peoples stores, taking & breaking products which are not yours is criminal! Forcing your political opinion upon others by force is against 'freedom of the individual and against the law! People being pro Israel have the same rights of *free speech as those being against Israel, although I don't see any rude & aggressive behaviour from the pro Israeli's. The anti Israeli provocateurs are nothing more than aggressive criminals and should be punished.
3. Arrested?
naava ,   jerusalem   (08.12.14)
Are these idiots arrested? Sick in the head.
4. Removing Israeli products
Harold ,   USA   (08.12.14)
This type of protest will continue all around Europe and many other states due to Israel's occupation policies.
5. When people start burning books, they burn people
(08.12.14)
6. Israel's military budget comes almost exclusivel from the US
(08.12.14)
it's a budget designed specifically for military gear. boycotting random Israeli items will not affect this in any way. but i guess this protesters don't really care, they just like putting on a show.
7. Anti-Semitism
Lynn Faulkner ,   Columbus, NM, US   (08.12.14)
I am very much pro-Palestine and believe that non-violent political resistance is the only way forward. It is unfortunate when verbal or physical violence spills over against Jews. People must understand that there is a difference between Zionism and Judaism.
8. Unclear
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.12.14)
Is Coca Cola now an Israeli company? Once they placed the suspect Israeli items in trolleys, where did the goods go? Belfast has a long difficult history of strife between Irish Republicans and Irish Loyalists, including a sort of apartheid between Protestants and Catholics. Things have improved in recent years.
9. TA TA Ireland
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (08.12.14)
You too will go down with your Moslems. Bloody hypocrites. I'd like to see them boycott Israel 100% which would include pharmaceuticals, computers , environmental products , etc .etc. Hitting retail stores is easy. Retailers are being led around by their noses pulled by these so-called do-gooders and backed by Islam.
10. from the river to the sea, Islamic fascism go away!
(08.12.14)
11. Interesting
Dov ,   London   (08.12.14)
It may be of interest to the talk-backers and readers that in Belfast this is nothing new. The pathological hatred of Israel and sipport of the Palestinians in endemic amongst the Catholics of Belfast and the Protestants love Israel and support Israel so much so that on a visit there 10 years ago I saw Israeli flags waved by loyalist protestants and the 'Palestinian' flag waved by Catholics. this is nothing new and an intersting demonstration of their sectarianism in Northern Ireland. I owe alot of my business success to a Protestant from Northern Ireland whose patholigical love of Israel and all things Jewish meant he helped me at a low time in my career.
12. Isnt theft a crime in N. ireland?
bernard ross   (08.12.14)
13. thieves attack store, as solidarity with Islamist thieves!
(08.12.14)
14. Shoplifters belong in jail.
Nick Z ,   New York, NY   (08.12.14)
"removing items from the shelves" is shoplifting. And their "river to the sea" chanting is advocating genocide.
15. These are anti-Jewish not pro-Palestinian.
Bob K ,   Orlando FL USA   (08.12.14)
This report like so many others refers to anti-Jewish/ anti-Israel protesters as 'pro-Palestinian. This is an inaccurate description of people of want Israel destroyed. These people, Christians and Moslems want the Jews destroyed and this is what we have to expose about them. As for the Jews of Europe, as anti-Semitism increases so will aliyah!
16. Too bad, all I can boycott is beer and whiskey
Ron ,   oc us   (08.12.14)
I boycott Ireland. Tesco, went broke over here.
17. BS - this just a new way to steal items from super
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.12.14)
18. Governments, police + armies are weak in Europe
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.12.14)
These pro-palestinian groups are running rampart on Europe. Europe - watch out - you are about to be crucified
19. One side of the coin:
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (08.12.14)
One side of the coin: historically the republican catholics have always been on the muslim terrorist side. Loyalist protestants support Israel, and even fly the Israeli flag in their neighborhoods. History is on the loyalist side: the Irish republic is plagued with its historical problems, poverty, emigration, and survives only thanks to generous European subsidies. These women on the video are most certainly on benefits like the majority of Irish catholics. Good opportunity to do free shopping...
20. Irish looters = St. Louis, USA looters
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (08.12.14)
These are the "young generation" who claim they abhor racial profiling and racial epithets - yet their troglodyte antics, suggestive of minimal education, poor academic skills, and the tendency to feed off the liberal government trough, reveal their own prejudice, conformity to mass destruction, disrespect for plurality. Happy rooting, you pigs.
21. to 7
Dov ,   London   (08.12.14)
Zionism is the will for a Jewish homeland. This is an integral part of Judaim and Jewish belief. All Jewish prayer etc is a longing tto live in Israel and has been for thousands of years. You can be Pro-Palestinian and also believe Jews can live in their country-Israel. Even the PLO Fatah the UN etc all support a 2 state solution and are by definition Zionist according to the definition of Zionism. Mahmud Abbas etc all support a 2 state solution of Palestine alongside Israel. So are you more extreme than Abu Mazan and Fatah? do you support the destruction of Israel? what are you trying to say? Many people say they are anti-Zionists in that they believe Jews should be scattered amongst the world and not live in Israel. Kind of like saying they have noting against the Irish in America or England but they hate Ireland and Irish Catholics in Ireland. There is a word for this type of belief system it's called racism. So are you a racist or do you support Palestine alongside Israel the 2 state solution which Mahmud Abbas and the PA wants. You can be Pro-Palestinian and Pro-Israel and a Zionist and Pro-Peace all together. That is what many people fail to understand or do they simply not understand any of this? Isn't it time people were more pro than anti? shouldn't we all be a bit more positive and not anti? or are you just a Jew hater who uses thisall as a sorry excuse?
22. Well ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.14)
... I certainly hope someone reminded them to toss their computers, laptops, notebooks, tablets, mobile phones, smartphones, iPads .... I'm sure they wouldn't want to be hypocrites, now, would they?
23. looting supermarket
boy from Brooklyn ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.12.14)
This is how thugs and hoodlums act. They should dispose of their cell phones while they are at it as the technology is Israeli- they are a fall back to the hayday of rabid European anti- Semitism- I had expected better from Ireland but I guess I was naive and foolish.
24. funny, not even Palestinians boycot israel
(08.12.14)
and the Israeli and Palestinian Economy are connected (same currency), so I really don't get these people.
25. frustrated catholics believing jews killed jesus?
Berk ,   Amsterdam   (08.12.14)
26. Arrested?
naava ,   jerusalem   (08.12.14)
Are these idiots arrested? Sick in the head.
27. LYN FAULKNER
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (08.13.14)
YOUR WELCOME TO THE PALESTINIANS, HEY UP ANOTHER 9/11 COMING SOON, YOUR AN IGNORANT SLAG. I FEEL SORY FOR YOUR PARENTS TO HAVE BOUGHT UP A BIT OF DRECK LIKE YOU. YOP FO YO MAAT HOB MIN DRED AN VOU SHIT.
28. Killing their own economies by other means?
AY ,   USA   (08.13.14)
Something tells me actions like these will lead to more Jews leaving for Israel and the US, taking their talents elsewhere.
29. Wake up talk-backers
Stan ,   Israel   (08.13.14)
All your verbal attacks and insults against those who dare to criticize Israel may make you feel better. Instead of wasting your energy on something that is not helping Israel, wake up! Israel is not an apartheid state, but like it or not Israel is seen by 192 states as an occupier and colonizer of other peoples territory. White SA was destroyed by BDS. It took 25 years but it succeeded. If you want to save Israel from the same fate (as I do) start trying to persuade my government that they must be serious in negotiations for the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Israel is too strong to be defeated militarily. So for the sake of my children and grandchildren I beg of you to wake up and face the real dangers to Israel. PS Don't send me snotty replies that if I'm frightened , I can leave. My children and I have only Israeli citizenship. It seems that we who are willing to make real peace are the ones who are not frightened.
30. Third world looters
Etienne Prinsloo ,   British Columbia, CA   (08.12.14)
The Irish are Thirld world primitives. Why were they so despised when they arrived in America? Because of what they are, thieves, terrorists and now Islamophiles. Ireland we salute you!
