31. IT AINT THEIR FAULT
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (12.27.18)
Young americans ,like Emily & Benjamin & Shira ,need to understand that " The Occupation " is not israelis' fault .Young israelis inherited this problem from previous generations, from their parents and grandparents who made mistakes decades ago which has led to the current problems.
32. Tagli and its effectiveness
steve ,   beer sheva   (12.27.18)
If the guides at Taglit can not answer deep and critical questions about Israel then it seems to me that this gaunt is no more than a subsidised holiday than anything else.
On the other hand if we are now subsidising the BDS crowd to come at least they can see that Israel is not an apartheid state!
33. Abusing hospitality can be costly !
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (12.27.18)
34. TO SHIRA ,BENJAMIN AND EMILY
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.27.18)
You are young and ,a tad naive ,sorry to say. When you are older, you will have learned that there are few times in life when you are given things for free, i.e. free gifts. And when you are given gifts and shown hospitality it is both wise and good manners to accept these gifts graciously ,without criticism.
35. Time for Israel to proclaim its collective self-confidence
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (12.27.18)
The perpetuation of a ghetto outlook combined with a constant fear of criticism is not a pretty sight.
36. They did not ask The Conflict but to Libel IL of occupier
Bernardo Flores ,   Rio de Janeiro   (12.28.18)
Basically,
All Taglit programs in one way or another shows a little bit about the conflict. But students who slanders IL as occupier should take reprimand because is not historically factual or fair to be honest
37. "SAFED"'s having a meltdown over this... Meds?
(12.29.18)
38. Not welcome
Yonatan BenDavid ,   Ashdod   (12.29.18)
Glad taglit sent these liberal non Jews back home. Israel is not their homeland. Israel does not belong to those who wish to give it away to Israels enemies.
Well done Taglit. Keep up the good work.
39. Neglected old wisdom.
E. Josef Rothschi ,   Brussels   (12.29.18)
The way they were treated reminds me an old story: the guy (goy!) who asked Shamai first, then Hillel to be taught judaism in a nutshell. Desperately waiting for the "Hillel" in this case, and rather disappointed, to say the least, by our "Shamais"!
40. The entire taglit program is a waste of money and time
Al   (12.30.18)
If they really cared for Israel they would do what I did in the mid 70's.

Go to Israel on your own dime. Volunteer on a Kibbutz. Live the Israeli experience and be thankful there is an Israel.

As it is you have spoiled middle class dumb kids coming to Israel pissing on their hosts.

Stop this nonsense!

If you do get a kid who does decide to stay..you've won the lottery.

Israeli Jews who pay the highest taxes do not have to subsidize their ungrateful guests.
41. Ynet gives voice to ifnotnow known liars and inciters
(12.30.18)
The modern day propaganda against Jews comparable to Nazi propaganda is created by the orgs these kapOS make money from.
If not know is a modern blood libel.

Ynet you must realise by now this type of ideological political article incites violence and hatred towards Jews with lies.

I tried posting some facts on blm seems you only allow attacking Jews as a group, even with lies.
42. When American Jews wash their hands of Israel
American jewish guy ,   LA   (12.30.18)
then Israeli Jews will come to terms with how much we have done for them. Israelis are an ungrateful bunch of whiners. I guess some Israelis know because I meet them here in LA all the time. They don't want to go back to so many people whose primary activity is having pity parties for themselves all the time.
43. Privileged white ppl telling Brown Jews what to do sick
(12.30.18)
If this was any other race attitude would be different. This is the definition of Jew hatred.
44. Shira libels Jews Obama had children in cages did u care?
(12.31.18)
She clearly has trump derangement syndrome and has been brainwashed by American fake news showing pictures of caged children when Obama was president. They pretended it was from trumps presidency.
So they both did it but only condemn trump years into the treatment? Tds.

Another reform woman rabbi bringing up such an educated Jewish kid, brainwashed on Jew hatred and ideological facism
45. all 29
(03.13.19)
too old for Israeli jobs market.
46. STUPID LEFTY JEWS WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY. ENEMIES WITHIN.
oleg ,   florida   (03.26.19)
THIS JEWS WOULD LIKE HITLER TOO. THEY WOULD APPROVE OF HIM. I WOULD PUT THEM ON A PLANE AND SEND THEM BACK TO CONGRESSWOMAN OMAR DISTRICT. DROP THEM OF DEEP IN THE WEST BANK TO MEET THEIR FRIENDS THERE.
47. Inconvenient truths obscuring the discussion
Joe Wyse ,   Hadera   (04.13.19)
It is time that the intellectual dishonesty and laziness around the left -right name calling is shoved aside: In today's superficial world a 'leftist" is anyone with whom a rightist has a disagreement,and a "rightist" or a 'fascist" is anyone with whom a leftist has a disagreement.
" Leftists" nowadays are usually well educated middle class people who signal virtue by supporting seemingly antithetical murderous groups so long as it costs them nothing. "Rightists" are generally less well educated , less cosmopolitan and less metropolitan than 'leftists" and are prone to charismatic leadership who exhort them to violent and despicable actions as we saw in New Zealand.Rightists are quite often prepared to themselves commit violent actions, whereas leftists are usually too squeamish, so they BDS-out the work to the radicals, jihadists, IRA etc. Naturally both leftists and rightists are anti -semitic, anti Zionist and anti Israel. May the baleful machinations of both left and right come to nought.
Let us celebrate a Passover of freedom, fraternity and equality and Peace.
48. You can invent news
Jon   (05.10.19)
.but when the white supremacist encouraged by Trumf will come after you, there will be no place to hide. Keep spewing you lies.
