1. AS OCCUPIED AS IS TEL AVIV!
FO ,   Belgium   (01.24.18)
"He will not hesitate to send them to the occupied territories to guard the settlers, to die in wars..." Occupied as are Tel Aviv, Haifa, and all of Israel, according to the Arab narrative. Dear Shira, before writing poetry, do us a favor and learn some recent history of your own country, that leftist blindness has prevented you to do.
2. Filthy Geffen parasites
Phoenix   (01.24.18)
3. Shira is dumb like father. Anne Frank didn't slap anyone.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.24.18)

6. very cheap by JG
jochair thijssen ,   kfar saba israel   (01.24.18)
A daughter defends her father as should be. nothing else
7. a right to mock
tiki ,   belgium   (01.24.18)
This doesn't change the fact that if this is her opinion she's as disgusting as her father....and brother.
8. Forget Anne Frank and the Holocaust
Yaron ,   Holon   (01.24.18)
Forget Anne Frank and the Holocaust, imagine a french catholic girl, during WWII, who is not in danger of getting killed, and who beside being occupied, can do pretty much what she wants if she doesn't cause trouble.
Imagine that girl slapping a German Soldier when he enters the family compound.
How do you perceive that girl?
9. Leftists doing terrific job keeping selves out of power
Sam ,   Montreal   (01.24.18)
Leftists are being obnoxious and keeping themselves out of power.
10. WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.24.18)
I hate what these Geffen people said comparing Ahed Tamimi to Anne Frank is farcical ,ridiculous and embarrassing but Lieberman is attempting to turn Israel ,which was once a bastion of free speech ,in to a dictatorship where it is forbidden to have a different opinion. If Lieberman was smart, which he clearly is not, he would have shown some dignity and simply ignored the silly comments made by Mr.Geffen. Lieberman received his privileged position as a result of " proteksia" because he would make millions of russian / israelis happy to have one of their own in a high position. I deplore Geffen and his views but I respect his freedom to have different views. Avigdor Lieberman needs to open his Dictionary and learn what DEMOCRACY means and what FREEDOM OF SPEECH means ,or else he can go take a hike.
11. LIEBERMAN IS THE MOST DANGEROUS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.24.18)
Avigdor Lieberman is the most dangerous man in Israel ,far more so than even Hamas. His agenda is to abolish free speech in Israel and to make Israel his Dictatorship. He is poison .You have been warned.
12. LIEBERMAN NEEDS TO LIVE IN N.KOREA
CAPTAIN REALITY ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.24.18)
13. AVIGDOR LIEBERMAN
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (01.24.18)
Mr .Lieberman desperately needs some lessons in Democracy ,in particular the idea of Freedom of Speech ,which seems to be a foreign idea for him. This idea states that people have the right to think and believe their own ideas ,even if i disagree with them.....ESPECIALLY if I disagree with them......
14. GEFFEN'S OFFENSIVE COMMENT
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (01.24.18)
The disgusting comparison of the nasty little brat Tamimi with Anne Frank does not deserve the dignity of a response. Mr Lieberman would have been better served by ignoring Geffen's ridiculous comment.
15. CONFUCIUS SAYS:
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (01.24.18)
Do not reply to every Dog who barks at you......
16. ADVICE FOR MR LIEBERMAN
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (01.24.18)
Sir, people like Yehonatan Geffen and the Rabbi Eliyahu of Safed enjoy being controversial,. they are looking to provoke a response, they enjoy the oxygen of publicity. Were you to pay them no attention, that would counter them much more effectively than getting angry and trying to ban them..which is what they want. DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT.
17. Shira can volunteer to marry one or several Africans to help
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.24.18)
18. Gefen's Cronies
Ben Shmuel ,   Kfar Sava, Israel   (01.24.18)
It's too bad that the issue of Liberman and Galaz overshadowed the real issue. Geffen represents the extreme left in his writing. He should be codemned for his words. The people should be made aware that such a comparison that Gefen made legitimizes attacks on our soldiers But what do we hear from Gefen's cronies in the media, only support. Once again the leftists support our enemies. I hope the average citizen is smarter than the media.
19. Pinchas David
Stan ,   Israel   (01.25.18)
How do you know that she hates Jews??? Pretend for a moment that you are NOT a Jew, then it would be possible for you to see things differently. A brave young girl showing her resentment against soldiers who she sees as occupiers of her peoples land.
Have you read anything written or said by her where she expresses hatred for Jews??? I'm sure you haven't, so don't look for anti-Semitism in everything said or done against the occupation.
