She is right, its racist and a disgrace.

how do you call a person who speaks against his/her country

They are obsessed with getting approval from non-Jews. They want to show they fit in with them and should not lose their places in society in the growing anti-semitism.

TAKE HER ISRAELI CITIZENSHIP AWAY INCLUDING HER PARENTS. DON'T LET HER EVEN LAND IN TEL AVIV DEPORT HER ON ARRIVAL. LET HER VISIT THE MILITARY CEMETERIES OF IDF SOLDIERS SO SHE WILL KNOW ISRAEL'S HISTORY AND STRUGGLES. I FEEL SICK TO LOOK AT HER. A TRAITOR ALL THE WAY.

she maybe correct in addition she may also want to remark how racist many muslim regimes are

She is way more trustworthy than BB

Having a national home is as racist as being gassed and burned for being Jewish
Surely someone as intelligent as you can understand that the miracle of Israel is because of it’s Jewish identity with a byproduct of also being a democracy?
But we are all entitled to our humble opinion as misguided as it might be

Hollywood types are the BIGGEST hypocrites. They argue for open borders and illegal immigration, as they live in gated communities with armed guards.

Portman is no different. She doesn't live in Israel, but will bash Israelis for protecting themselves and their country. She cries foul about Palestinians getting killed, but doesn't bat an eye to the fact that Israel needs to defend herself. She will boycott Israel, but will never boycott or talk about the numerous high oppressive Arab and Muslim countries.

She says love thy neighbor. How god damn naive and out of touch with reality is she? You can't love thy neighbor who teaches their children to murder your people, refuses any rationale offer of peace and constantly commits heinous acts of random violence of innocent people (including children).

She is a moron and she should STFU!

Leftist scum. What a perform artist that lives not israel and has liberal views lives not in Israel has to say? Idiot

A Jew who spouts her 'problems' with the politics of Israel, a country she doesn't live in or contributes anything to, except being born there, is giving an anti Israel speech at a anti Israel Arab newspaper is worth the scorn of all civilized people.

This has nothing to do with her proclaimed 'Jewish values, but everything with her stupidity.

It's because Israeli soldiers give their life for Jewish values, she can spout her Israel hate to further her career.

"She didn't want to meet Netanyahu", that's why she declined a Genesis prize. Question is if Netanyahu wants to meet with her for she's might be Jewish but certainly not very kosher and isn't worth any Jewish/Israeli recognition.

Ms Portman - Israel is NOT the 51st state of the US. It IS the nation-state of the JEWISH people, from whom you disengage.

Mrs portman , I admire your bravery for speaking the truth !!! and a talented actress to boot !!

The UN partitioned the remains of the Ottoman Empire. But Jews have been living in the region for a few thousand years. Yes, thousand years. The Muslims are relative 'newcomers' to this region. They didn't come peacefully. They conquer by the sword. So for hundreds of years after their shameful arrival, Jews have been treated as dhimmis in their own land. The massacres of Jews by Arabs have been on ongoing nightmare for hundreds of years, long before Israel became a state.

The 'state of Israel' is just the latest excuse for Arabs to attack Jews. Their holy book (yeah, right), the Quran, explicitly orders 'good' Muslims to kill the infidel, to 'strike them in their necks'.

Notice that the Torah didn't show G-d ordering the death of Ishmael, just making him and his mother leave the camp. No such niceties in the Quran: 'kill the infidel wherever you find him.'

Israel is the Jewish homeland. So Arabic no longer has the same standing as Hebrew, so what? In everyday circumstances, it will mean almost nothing.

If the Arabs can simply live peacefully, the world will open up for them. But they don't. They kill Jewish soldiers at will. They kill Jewish office workers at will. The shoot bystanders at bus stops at will. They stab random citizens at will. They stab Jewish families asleep in their own beds. You know how it goes.

In 1948, Israel said, "Okay, we accept the UN partition plan that gives us almost nothing of what the Mandate gave us." But the Arab states said, "Not good enough. We'll take the whole thing." And then they attacked Israel, planning to destroy it completely, to finish Hitler's work, as the Grand Mufti put it.

If the Arabs lost, they would always have a country to return to. If the Jews lost, it was extermination. The Jews won.

The Quran, you know, that motorcycle gang's handbook, also states that once land is part of the Dar Al-Islam, the Land of Islam, it may never revert to what it was before. Jihad is holy war to regain the land that was lost. Perpetual war until the land is regained. Arafat himself it might take decades to accomplish this. So for decades, Israel has experienced full-blown wars at the hands of its Muslim neighbors and thousands of random attacks on Israelis at the hands of the local Arabs.

So before you go crying tears at why you can't support Netanyahu, or why you can't accept an award from your country of birth, or why the new law is SO unjust to the Arabs, consider how we got here: I'll give you a hint, it's not because of the attitude of the Israelis.

You know, Natalie, you could have accepted the award, made a few polite comments, and then distributed the funds to Israelis who've been injured or killed by Arab attackers. That would have been a proper thing to do.

who is still living the "golden history" of our People (which was far from golden)
If it were not for the British "Balfour Declaration " it is not at all certain that Israel would have come into existence.

By the way, in May 1948 there were barely 600,000 Jews here.

1. Israel was not created as a haven for Holocaust survivors.
2. Zionism did not begin in 1839, but in 1897.

Stay out & away from Israel, your birth country!!! You're not welcome here. (Shame on you)

Not Israeli parliament but United Nations 70 years ago in the resolution 181 defined Israel as a "Jewish state". I guess Harvard didn't help her: she need more education.

MOST DISGUSTING !!!!!!!!!!
I will never watch any film of her.

you are essentially a nobody inserting yourself into a world shaking problem.

you are arrogant and ill informed.

you side with the enemies of what used to be your people.

jihad cannot be reasoned with, but you would not understand this.

Anti-Zionism is that form of anti-Semitism that  promotes contempt ,discrimination or dehumanization of the Jews as a people group or national group.

Unlike many other "hollywood"stars portman takes liberty to comment
on politics of her country of birth. She risks being "burnt" by ,as one can see from the numerous hate comments , people with no ideas about israel, never lived here,never served in israels army,never met a palestinian ,never tried
"thinking" as an option and never took risks. Portman however did all of above
and therefore is credible and realistic. She has all the right to speak her mind.

Israel has too many enemies to survive the worst bring Assimilated Jews internally and external cowardly leadership frightened to take bold settlement decisions restricting Jews to a tiny dangerous coastal ghetto
Corruption in politics police and rising gang street crime economic unrest among the population a population demoralized by generations of the Pist Zionist dominated National Media (yes totall madness) could very well bring another Left Wing Government and another “ Oslo Horror”
Abd Israel’s demise returning Jews once again to the mercy of a Jew hating world
