1. Who helped create Hezbollah
Zechariah   (11.27.15)
The Shia Islam in Lebanon used to welcome IDF with flowers and sweets until the Megalomaniac Sharon started the 1982 Lebanon War and stood lay Idly by re Shatilla and Sabra . The Syrian civil Warwith the Ba'ath Fatah Barrel bombs and ISIS mass murders show Sharon deserved the nickname the 'Blue Eyed Arab' and was adored by the Insane Feral till the Double cross of the Gaza disiengagement . You need these groups of dissenters to keep the Jewish Army with some humanity . In time Thermonuclear exchanges may be reality let's hope they are Tactical not Genocidal . Jews Arabs and Internationals in the Holy Land build deep nuclear shelters and Survivalst Plans -a decade left maximum.
2. the non-Israeli equivalents are also focused on Palestine
UR   (11.27.15)
And the foreign equivalents are not even equivalent in that Stop the War Coalition can't even focus on the Uk's many wars and has to tag on Free Palestine on its demos. For there to be an equivalence, Breaking the Silence would need to have a report about British soldiers in Fallujah or something like that.
3. Good question. It applies to all treacherous leftist groups!
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.27.15)
The author poses a great question. And it doesn't only apply to Breaking The Silence. It applies to all treacherous leftist groups in Israel. There should be zero tolerance of their treachery. Severe penalties should apply.
4. Terrorist
Grant D Taylor ,   Vancouver   (11.27.15)
Abbas is a terrorist spreading lies and inciting jehad.. Kill him and start the massive war against the Palestinians and force them out of all the areas they are in..they can join the Syrians in real refugee camps... You are a victim crying like a school boy and the world is so sick of the whinning, they are now blaming you for the other terrorists.. Declare war, level the Palistians areas and if anyone puts up a white flag shoot them as they would to you... Send missiles at Abbas NOW
5. Creepy Group
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.27.15)
The Left, for reasons I can't fathom, is anti-West/US/Israel and pro-Palestinian. Has been for decades. - I do think you need to take some sort of action against this group. People will believe their lies. - Good news is that EU Leftists will be busy soon due to problems caused by the influx of migrants in EU countries. Migrants the Leftists are currently welcoming with open arms and migrants who don't share Leftists' values.
6. Self-hating jewish people, amazing..
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.27.15)
.. Stop funding them, and expel the ambassadors from those countries who are feeding the money, Norway and Sweden, if they do not stop the funding..
7. Breaking The Wind
Jenny ,   New York USA   (11.27.15)
Breaking The Wind is more appropriate for these self-hating Jews (?).....
8. There's a faulty gene in some Jews. Always have been.We must
(11.27.15)
live with it. No biggie.
9. Lies?, they dont say,they show
Ivan ,   Haifa   (11.27.15)
they cant lie,they take people to the territories to show what is going on there,or you mean all people in Hebron are players?
10. Israel needs to grow some balls.....
tiki ,   belgium   (11.27.15)
and stop sucking the ones from her enemies! Members of Breaking the Silence should be arrested, tried for lies & incitement against the State and be locked up in a compulsory asylum for the mentally ill!
11. Breaking Silence are self righteous people
C   (11.27.15)
these people believe that they are superior to all of israel and her people. the very fact that they accept money from foreign governments rather than raisig money in israel proves that they only represent themselves.
12. wimps
dave ,   tzfat israel   (11.27.15)
who isn't lying in this media?
13. Breaking the silence Gaza office?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.27.15)
Seems that their more suited for Gaza than Israel. If they want to be heard by a real anti Israeli crowd try Gaza, permanently. Bunch of paid traitors who are a shame for every Israeli who's served in the armed forces. Hope they meet a fate worse than death. KEEP BUILDING !!!
14. Sweeping generalizations and accusations by BD Yemini:
Scar ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.27.15)
"This is not democracy"? I say - remember Voltaire. The strength of Israel is, among many other things, its ability to cope with extreme opinions. Ben-Dror should criticize each and every case that BTS talks about - specifically, in detail, about the facts. The right way is not to outlaw or stop BTS, but to focus on facts, solid reasoning and so on. In my opinion, BD Yemini is making sweeping accusations in this article, in a populist manner that befits some of the messages from BTS. At the end of the day, the world will see and appreciate the democracy of Israel. Why are there so many NGOs and so much noise in and about Israel? Because it is a vibrant democracy. This is the winning concept. The repressive tendencies - like in Saudiarabia, Turkey, Russia, Iran - are expressions of fear and backward societies. Netanyahu is unfortunately closing down Arabic media outlets, because they belong to cooperation of the Islamic Movement. Netanyahus repressive instinct is dangerous. Now is the time to increase freedom and safeguard our democracy, not to succumb to fear and authoritarian tendencies.
