31. Natalie Portman
Arnie   (04.20.18)
I will not spend a penny of my money on any movie you are involved in.
32. I LIKE NATALIE PORTMAN
HARVEY WANKSTAIN ,   SAFED HOLLYWOOD   (04.20.18)
33. Who cares? She's a lousy actress anyway.
Fukwit Paleswine   (04.20.18)
Any not really pretty in the Hollywood sense of the term.
34. Fortunately they're so many other, valuable representatives
(04.20.18)
of our "tribe", even in Amerike....
She's entitled to any opinion/political conviction BUT, had she possessed any REAL intelligence, she'd known, that voices of people in her position are (unfortunately) held in high regard by the unwashed masses!
Out of basic solidarity with her former "motherland" she should've graced us with her dubious presence THEN voice her concerns...whatever.
She's dead to me and so should be to all Israelis/Jews (except the readers of Ha'Aretz)
35. What do you expect?! The endless „critique” of Bibi/Regev
(04.20.18)
and all things connected to our patriotic govt. takes its toll on lesser minds, like that of this pitiful lady!
36. Israel is a gargantuan moral disaster
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.18)
37. Sternhill didn't lie when he said Israel resembled N Germany
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.18)
38. to identify with Isr, one would have to commit moral suicide
Miriam Kershenbaum ,   Tel Aviv   (04.20.18)
39. give her the george soros treatment
shuli   (04.20.18)
not welcome in israel
40. STUPID BITCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.20.18)
Her opinion is ABSOLUTELY worthless.
41. Natalie, shame on you
C   (04.20.18)
you have absolutely no understanding of the situation in israel or in the
larger middle east.
islamists are murdering anyone who has a different opinion than they.
they are sending their own children to be human shields.
you do not even realise that you have been brainwashed by the
radical left.
regardless, the jewish state will defend herself against all enemies.
you should stay in your luxurious dwellings and keep out of
politics.
42. who is the money-launderer behind this organization?
(04.20.18)
43. Wake up people !!!!!!!!
Stan ,   Israel   (04.20.18)
Israel is no longer the country it was 57 years age when I came here. Then Israel was liked by all the world (except the Moslems)
Israel has proven to be one of the most dynamic countries, an economic, technological, and military power. Israel is not an apartheid state, because what exists here is racism but not apartheid. 50 years of occupation of other peoples land has not made us a better people. The settlement (by force) of this land, which began as a messianic dream, has turned many Israelis into fascists.
People no longer see any problem in curtailing human rights of other peoples.
Most Israelis do not realise that the occupation has put us in the same category as South Africa during apartheid.
You Jews who continue to support Israel no matter what this country does to Palestinians, asylum seekers from Africa, non Jewish citizens, Reform and Conservative Jews do not fully understand that we are on a slippery slope on the way to becoming like Iran and Afganistan.

Oh, and before you all rush to tell me to leave Israel, know this.
I am a Zionist, I, my wife, and all my children served in the army. We all live in Israel as do all my grandchildren.

So when Natalie Portman and many others show their distaste with what is happening here it is not hatred of Israel, but of the policies of Israel's government.
44. Don‘t try to bribe Jews to accept Israel‘s
Rich ,   Toronto   (04.20.18)
brutal and failed military policies in the Gaza. Natalie Portman doesn‘t need the money and she is entitled to her opinion. There are many Jews who feel the same way. I have not read in the Torah or Talmud that all Jews must accept the violent actions of Rothschild Zionism in the Land of Israel. Although I have read in the Talmud that if Jews come back to Eretz Yisrael before the coming of the Messiah, they are not suppose to use brut force to take the land. Why? Because all the ways of the Most High are the ways that lead to peace. Proverbs 3; 17. HaShem would have given us the Land without firing a shot. But because the Zionists, in their arrogance, have violated that Mitzvah and many more, now Israel and all humanity is in danger. Don‘t believe it! Read the book, ‘A Farewell to Ice‘ by Peter Wadhams. Peace out!
45. She deserves a prize for what? Being an actor?
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (04.21.18)
The panel that felt she deserves a prize should be sent home
Idiots
46. To all you Nationalists (fascists)
Stan ,   Israel   (04.21.18)
Who have been attacking Portman.: On Israel news this morning, it was announced that Portman said that she DOES NOT support BDS. She does not agree with the policies of our government and it seems that what really pissed her off is the treatment of the asylum seekers.

47. Idiot: she could've given it to her friends in Gaza!
(04.21.18)
48. Portman is the dear friend of her mentor Roger Waters...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.21.18)
any more questions ?
49. Offer
Sky Blue ,   București   (04.21.18)
Just because i don't want people here to get too angry, i offer myself to take the reward instead of Natalie Portman. I would do this out of simphaty for her,nothing else.
50. Once an Israeli leaves Israel..NO ONE SHOULD CARE
Al   (04.21.18)
Stop pandering to these useless morons...mist if not all have taken a dump on you already. They voted with their feet and chose to abandon you.

Their good will at this stage doesn't amount to a hill of shit.
51. I was in Israel while my my mother was a little bit pregnant
Alan   (04.21.18)
with me .Am I elligible for Genesis Prize of $2 Million
