1. So ridiculous...... And so American!!
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (08.23.14)
There's no good side or bad side. Your mind hasn't evoluted since kindergarten obviously. Stop the dichotomy and grow up
2. Many of them are former Obama supporter and financial donors
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.23.14)
3. Good to hear!
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.23.14)
Now the anti-Israel crowd knows that not everyone agrees with them, nor is anyone afraid of them.
4. Relieving Israel's Burden
joyce fraser ,   USA   (08.23.14)
of being The Western (barely still)Free World's 'line-in-the-sand protector', is of paramount import, which at this '23rd of August 2014 moment', is awakening even predominantly naive and pacifistic people throughout the entire world. Any genuinely responsible world leader knows just that ... ... politics and/or political correctness notwithstanding!
5. Terrorist
Laura ,   Flushing,usa   (08.23.14)
Finally, a group that recognizes the hamas terrorists who are reigning terror in israel,advocating mass murder as well as responsible for the loss of lives of the innocent gazans who are hostages of the hamas mob.
6. Idiots: this is not Hamas "charter", this is ISLAM.ONE &ONLY
(08.23.14)
7. "so American?" "Dichotomy?" Non jewish immigrant
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (08.23.14)
please enlighten us with more fancy thoughts about what is "so American" about supporting Israel. BTW the correct word is "evolved" not "evoluted" - to use "evoluted" is convoluted.
8. Great
nibor ,   israel   (08.23.14)
And to all you self-superiors, democracy includes liberals, leftists as well as rightists. No one should be afraid of stating an opinion because of fear of name calling. And all you anti-obamaists, same uniform under a different disguise. You hate everyone.
9. Scrathing the barrel to find 2 smacks of desperation
lydia ,   Brisbane   (08.23.14)
Neither of these two reprobates have a sliver of moral decency between them.
10. #1 There is one good side: Israel
Benji ,   US   (08.23.14)
The side that tries to live in peace with Palestinians. The side that did not start this war. The side that wanted a cease-fire from the beginning. The side that upheld every cease-fire. The side that warned the civilians to evacuate prior to a response. And last but not least, the side that provides you with shelter and protection even though you discredit and demean the country through your daily rants. Good to see members of the entertainment field speaking out in support of Israel.
11. Thanks guys!
Dani ,   TLV/ LDN   (08.24.14)
It was starting to feel a little lonely round here... The more we know someone has our back when it goes wrong (e.g. when we are under fire and have to defend ourselves), the more we're likely to take risks to make it right in the future (e.g. to try once more to evacuate settlements in exchange for a potential peace, like we did in Gaza n 2005).
12. #9 Moral decency in Lydia's world
Benji ,   US   (08.24.14)
Lydia, when was the last time you spoke out against genital mutilation, honor killings, public executions? When did you last speak out about all the murders, ethnic cleansing and refugee problems caused by your murderous Muslim/Arab brothers? You don't and won't because in your world, these atrocities are acceptable. Correct me if I'm wrong.
13. The civilians are NOT hostages.
roxanne ,   haifa, israel   (08.24.14)
They are 86% PRO-HAMAS. "evoluted"?
14. Israel and Hamas
Peter   (08.24.14)
Ladies and gentlemen , read it carefully and attentively and get into the subject. You are sure to see the truth: http://www.forbes.com/sites/richardbehar/2014/08/21/the-media-intifada-bad-math-ugly-truths-about-new-york-times-in-israel-hamas-war/
15. Hollywood Heaviesi
Liz Benard ,   USA   (08.25.14)
More like Hollywood sycophants.. PU Leeze - schwartzegger is a moral compass? Penelope Crus, Javier Bardim, and U2 Are HUGE talents and won't lose their Following.. They are on the side of Humanity and History.. Young people under 30 aren't buying the State of Israel's line- anymore. Israel needs to free Gaza- no more occupation::: If you want Peace- work for Justice!
16. to liz benard - Your ignorance of the present situation is
miri ,   israel   (08.26.14)
quite obvious. A person's age is not an indication of his awareness of the facts.
17. Really, do we need their approval ?!!
miri ,   israel   (08.26.14)
18. Chloe Blue of Facebook
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.30.14)
We saw the people of Gaza and their 3 finger salutes. There is your evil Chloe! The Gazans brought this on themselves and only got what they deserved. Someday you will get what you deserve too Chloe.
