IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (12.04.14)
They would not get destructions had they not send rockets. How is he a professor? ISRAEL STOPPED THE ROCKETS, AND THAT IS IT.

Julberry Juan ,   Tagum City, Ph   (12.04.14)

4. I'm Beginning to realize....
Benji   (12.04.14)
I have been reading Ynet Website for years. Never before did i see so much lefty nonsensical articles printed between your Op-Eds or reporting current news as these days. Now this is the last straw quoting some nut case saying Israel profited from killing the terrorists in Gaza. ISRAEL DOESNT KILL PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS INTENTIONALLY WHY DO YOU GIVE THAT IMPRESSION??
5. Oh yes. And also we needed blood to make Matzah this Pesach
Alan ,   SA   (12.04.14)
6. Anyone actually read Boccos Publications?
Tim ,   Brighton   (12.04.14)
My marks out of 10? 1 Simply....second rate And his so called expertise on his CV? Armed conflicts and international aid; Refugees and humanitarian aid; Peace processes, development policies and post-conflict reconstruction; Political sociology of State- and Nation-building processes Should take up Comedy
7. Professional bull shit
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (12.04.14)
presented by a one sided "Professional anti semite" who purposefully ignored Hamas kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens. So much for academia which seems to be comprised of only "Professional' anti semites such as this one. Worse yet, his bull shit goes unchecked and unquestioned. KEEP BUILDING AND KEEP WINNING !!
8. IL DUCE: MUSSOLINI REDUX
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (12.04.14)

11. Riccardo Bocco
C   (12.04.14)
the man is not any different from the likes of goebbels. we should not forget that the majority of german academics had been members of the nazi party. seventy five percent of the vienna philharmonic were members of the nazi party.
12. "PROFITS FROM WAR"
Robert ,   Israel   (12.04.14)
Another "potz" going around and saying nonsense. He would better fill his mouth with Swiss chocolate instead of saying stupidities as to gain stupid followers.
13. Intellectual halabaloe
tiki ,   belgium   (12.04.14)
You really have to be a professor to come up with this ""philosophical crap. Straight thinking people couldn't even dream up this nonsense. But the Swiss can't be blamed for being accused of extreme Jew love, as can't many professors be blamed for being overly intelligent as they themselves often like to prove.
14. LOL!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.04.14)
I wonder how Professor Bocco interprets the "neutral" Swiss acceptance of boxcar after boxcar after boxcar of Jewish gold wedding bands, jewelry and dental gold. Did the Swiss think these were being "donated" by Jews to the German war effort? Besides -- since when is a professor of sociology and anthropology an expert on economics? Oh, that's right! He isn't. All this while the entire Swiss banking industry is being raked over the coals by the United States Department of Justice and the IRS. UBS? Credit Suisse? More coming, folks. The Swiss have been laundering money for terrorist organizations, and housing the private accounts of terrorists, for a very long time. They're going to be called to account real soon now. Some already have. But as a repository for tens of billions of accounts with terrorist accountholders? And anyone else? The Swiss banking industry is dead.
15. HE SAID HIS NUMBERS WERE THEORETICAL...SO IS HE
Davez ,   America is beautiful   (12.04.14)
he just made it up. there's no real data. he's just another cretin selling a shallow inconclusive fairy tale book...it's all fiction for free dinners and 15 minutes of defame.
16. the real question
(12.04.14)
Bocco's accusations clearly have nothing to do with reality and the fact that he could express them show how deep the Left's visceral hatred for Jews is. It is also clear that Bocco and his supporters will ignore condemnation by Zionist leaders like Dannon, Bennet and Feigin by pointing out that prominent Israelis like Herzog, Livni and Lapid call them "Right wing extremists". The real question then is where are Livni, Lapid and Herzog? These three portray themselves as moderate people willing to do anything to satisfy PLO if they become Israel's leaders. With such credentials, they should be at the forefront of defending Israel, but they are strangely silent. Why aren't Livni, Lapid and Herzog defending Israel?
17. Swiss have always profitted from wars and murder
ab   (12.04.14)
Their whole banking industry is based on it
18. just another conspiracy theory
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (12.04.14)
professor Bocco does his name honor, Israel tried to avoid civilian casualties. Hamas profits from civilian casualties, but try to argue with antisemites!
19. Civilians not protected used shields .
Zechariah   (12.04.14)
It's Hamas that wants civilian deaths a depraved form of child sacrifice to Bolster its Martyrdom Status and Feed AntiJudaism.but the crimes of Hamas and its forerunner TheIslamic Brotherhood go far greater .Colloboration with the Nazis to kill Jews .In their interest .Less world Jewry. Less Jews in Israel .Same with Swiss less Jews alive with money in Swiss banks more profit .
20. Swiss Professor
Chutia ,   New Delhi, India   (12.04.14)
Haven't you been called an anti-semite yet? Jews, please call him an anti-semite. Davai :)
21. The blood libel. Fire him.
Dan   (12.04.14)
He may as well have accused Jews of using Arab blood for making matzas. An idiot and racist.
22. Bocco blood libels
(12.04.14)
And contradictory mixed up message. On one hand claims Israel fought Gaza for economic motives and then claims as evidence givati commander message to troops was call for Israel and Jewish religion. Just a bland manifest of inaccurate accusations.
23. @11 Anthropology
Raphael ,   Netanya   (12.04.14)
Is the science of races. A favorite topic in Germany between 1933 and 1945.
24. Lack of Reasoning Skills
Sam ,   NY, USA   (12.04.14)
Are professors these days educated in basic principles of epistemology or analytic logic? Are they aware that in order for an argument to be valid, it must include explicit logical syllogisms? It appears that professors these days merely say things and think they're right purely by instinct and emotions...
25. So stupid to say and wrong.
Jo   (12.04.14)
Life is not cheap, the soldiers who died were not cheap fodder , his comments cheapen life and show his bias......why does he not ask about rockets intended to kill......Hamas praise of death and murder of Jews. Just because he is a professor, which today guarantees nothing, he is in the news?
26. Really? The war cost $500mm in ammo alone
ayatollah ghilmeini ,   Qum Usa   (12.04.14)
The only economic benefit is the war deters Hamas for a few years until they rearm. it is not like Israel plundered a mountain of gold from Gaza. Some excellent anti-semetism from the professor who has done a fine job channeling the snakes in his head. Now that the EU has repudiated the Oslo process, it is long past time for Israel to ban all EU support for NGOs in Israel and kick them out of whatever remains of the peace process, they are no longer impartial and well meaning- they are the self identified enemy.
27. An anti-Jewish blood libel from the "enlightened" circles.
N.L. Shriber ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.04.14)
28. #7
Harold ,   usa   (12.04.14)
Now we found out that there are an additional 301 anti Semites in Switzerland. This Professor knows something and is not stupid as most of the commentators proclaim.
29. What "clear economic motive"?
Hunt S Cross ,   England   (12.04.14)
It's called working in "Palestinian research", having to lie about Israel. Those who don't lie admit some western forces learn about civilian casualty minimisation from the IDF's approach.
30. no
suha ,   jerusalem   (12.04.14)
they started the war to end the hamas rule in gaza but as they could not they looked for profets . but really there were many civilians be killed there hamass soldiers were under ground while families were above it is the truthe
