1. Thank you for not going back to Israel. Israel doesn't need
Juliana   (11.15.15)
you and the likes like you.
2. he is right. arab occupation of jewish lands is illegal,
ralph   (11.15.15)
3. Caetano : he is a senile and frustrated man
Cyranno ,   Brazil   (11.15.15)
Only one think : look what is going now in Brazil ... Brazil is experiencing a period of scandals and corruption and more. Recently , an unprecedented ecological disaster that so far no one has been jailed and he is concerned about the poor people of the " Philistines " ... Start looking inside you !!
4. Double faced selrighteous
Avi L.   (11.15.15)
The guy should have a look at his own country before talking about "occupation, segregation and violence". Favelas occupied by police turned criminals (milicias), favelas filled up by segregated colored and the overall violence of the country with 50 000 murders by year and police killing a few thousands per year too. Without taking in consideration a half million of children victims of child labor and a few thousands of slaves working in agriculture. It's a widespread practice to clean one's own conscience on other people or country and thus feel lily white and rightful. Would be interesting someone going to Brazil and having a critical look at it.
5. Israel
Edouard ,   Montrial canada   (11.15.15)
It's too bad the a talented musician does not see the reality ,that he does not see that the existence of the only Jewish is at risk because of this terrorists Arabs are dreaming about only one thing ......to kill all the Jews And transform israel Into an Islamic state and destroy everything line they did in gaza
6. Veloso
David Goldberger ,   United States   (11.15.15)
Just stay in your third world brazil
7. TO CAETANO VELOSO
EGBERTO OBVIO ,   RIO DE SAFED   (11.15.15)
Sir ,you are of course entitled to your opinion . Israel can survive without your music and presence. If Israel is not to your liking ,they say that Paris is nice this time of year .
8. GO VISIT THE FAVELAS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.15.15)
And open your eyes.
9. a no- name
k ,   US   (11.15.15)
I am in the US and I never heard of this guy, I am guessing it is cool to get on the anti-Israel bandwagon
10. too bad his brain don't work as well as his fingers
another idiot ,   with an agenda   (11.15.15)
11. Brazil
Zyx ,   US   (11.15.15)
This hypocrite should not go back to Brazil either as long as the holocaust of the native population goes on (not to mention how the blacks are treated in this country). Brazil was built on genocide, racism and apartheid.
12. musicians and actors
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (11.15.15)
After having lived in Hollywood for too many years I have the miserable opportunity to have met too many of these normally disgusting creeps. Actors and Musicians on the whole do not read history books, their heads and hearts are in the media. Since they do not do research they believe the little they read in the news. What can be seen here in Israel, where I now live, is soldiers checking Arabs from the west bank who wish to enter Israel. This is for our protection since they are trying to kill us. However it looks like we are segregating them. We would rather live with them in peace, but they want us dead and gone. If a musician and actor would actually take time to read the Koran he might realize that the religion of Islam is against Jews being in control of Arabs and what they see as their land. But like this and many other point that are too detailed to go into the last person to believe about news is a musician or actor.
13. Good Riddance
AVI ,   Beit Shemesh   (11.14.15)
Good Riddance to biased one sided ignoramuses who finally succumbed to pressure and who surrounds themselves with only one point of view...Shalom ,KolTuv you will not be missed , Israel is a better place for you having left
14. this guy is nuts
shoshie ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.14.15)
this musician, just because he is rich, thinks he knows it all? what does he know? he's just a Jew hater. he doesn't understand the situation at all. he hasn't the foggiest idea as to who the Land of Israel belongs to, that the arabs are just ungrateful squatters, and he should just shut his big rich fat mouth.
15. segregation
zelig ,   Memphis ,u.s.a.   (11.15.15)
the preservation of jewish life is more important than the political correctness of the multicultural "tossed salad" of liberalism. how many liberals have locks on their front and back doors? how many liberals have alarms on their doors and windows? And what of our own bodies?Does this imbecile know why Hashem created wandering macrophages,leukocytes,lymphocytes? And why do we "wall off" bacteria in abscess cavities? It's because we are supposed to survive EVEN if it means that the virus or bacteria must die. in our current world, islamic terrorists are the viruses and bacteria that need to be walled off and/or destroyed....even if "good" muslims must be inconvenienced by roadside checks,searches,etc.
16. "Esteemed musician" - I never heard of him
Talula ,   Israel   (11.15.15)
And it's just as well - he's another desperado hanging on for attention - just like Roger Waters. Why can't these people just retire with dignity and keep their ignorant mouths shut about things they know nothing about. He needs to concentrate on Sao Paulo, one of the most dangerous cities in the world - there you go - start there - right there!
17. TO CAETANO : MISSING YOU
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.15.15)
Missing you already ...NOT . And we do not need to be subjected to your second-rate bossa- nova elevator muzak,thank you.
18. GLAD TO HEAR IT
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.15.15)
Israel does not need your awful music and dreadful songs.
19. God will punish Caetano Veloso
naro ,   nyc   (11.15.15)
He better expect serious problems from God soon.
20. He overestimates his value
Benji ,   US   (11.15.15)
Frankly there are more well known performers coming to Israel and more important issues of concern. As Palestinian cruelty plays itself out on Israeli streets, it becomes clear this guy is clueless.
21. We wont miss you ...Kop in Dred !
Roland ,   london England   (11.15.15)
22. IS THAT A PROMISE?
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   RIO DE SAFED   (11.15.15)
23. Yes, there are three things to stop
Eve ,   London, UK   (11.15.15)
STOP your lies about Israel, STOP your defamation of Israel and STOP inciting violence against Jews. Now if you have not already done so, pack and leave on your one way ticket back to Brazil, where there are many more problems to solve...
24. Hands up, who ever heard
Joe ,   London, UK   (11.15.15)
of this musician? YNet, you miss the real news!
25. WE LOVE YOU GAETANO, 30 commenters is NOT israel
ironbutterfly ,   israel   (11.15.15)
100...200 commenters is NOT israel. Thousands of israelis love brazilian music, and don't care about Gaetano political views. 100 extremists here don't represent even 0.0001% of israel.
26. Who Caetano is & who he isn't
Moshino ,   Tel Aviv   (11.15.15)
Who he is: Probably the biggest name in Classical Brazilian Popular Music, Bossa Nova and Tropicalia, 9 times Latin Grammy Award winner, twice Grammy Award Winner, very talented in his genre of music; NOW who he isn't: he is NOT well versed in World Politics and should educate himself a lot more about the complex situation in the Middle East before forming an opinion. Having said all that, he clearly will not be missed here and quite frankly, he has not been that relevant in Latin America for at least 15 years. In his defence though, I REALLY don't believe he made that statement out of anti-semitism, but rather out of ignorance. Not buying his music anymore anyway... he should know better!
27. GAEARSEHOLE SMELLOSO
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.15.15)
28. Just what I said.. is this his only
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.15.15)
way to garner some attention? he's an anti semite, plain and simple.
29. Generalities...Larry formerly LA not all musicians
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.15.15)
this old saloon singer is more than you can count on Israel's side. Please don't use such wide swipes, there are exceptions.
30. Big in Brazil still most of US never heard of him
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.15.15)
until this anti semitic rant.
