1. The British cultural sour lemons
tiki ,   belgium   (01.30.19)
These old has-been's just can't help themselves.

The Jew hate is burning holes in their demented brains.

Israel is going to have a Eurovision bash and boy, do Israeli's know how to have a party & celebrate.

So, please let the old British hags huff & puff, Israel is going to celebrate with the world and has no use for sour lemons & grapes.
2. All the Usual Useful Idiots are there, all's as it should be
(01.30.19)
then.
For a moment I thought Sir Tom or Sir Mick signed as well... :-)
3. Like the sickies at BBC need more “urging”!!?
(01.30.19)
4. It's good to know that these idiots remain consistent in
(01.30.19)
their obsession with all things Jewish/Israeli.
Always reassuring to "know" your enemy, instead of guessing...
5. Vivienne Westwood
(01.30.19)
My wife just put all your designed clothing in the trash, not even the charity bin, so that no chance that they will be recycled.
6. B-listers
Ari ,   NYC   (01.30.19)
Ynet refers to the 50 as "prominent culture figures." What makes them prominent? Most of them are B-listers that no one heard of. The rest of the lot are the same old tired haters like Roger Waters and Ken Loach. Yawn
7. Why doesn't ynet show these evil people ginger to real tyran
(01.30.19)
ICal nations.

Show the clear double standard against the Jews which was passed as antisemitic.

Call then out for going to Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and other nations.


JUST MORE EVIL ELITE LEFTISTS SPREADING THEIR HATE IN THE NAME OF PEACE.
Most of them would publicly back down if they were morally shamed. All about perception.
8. Brits will live Jew free under sharia law. Jews come home!
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.30.19)
Brits hate on Jews as Muslim immigrants destroy Britain. They will get the chance to live Jew free under sharia law. Jews, get the h*ll out of Britain. Come home!
9. Israel's Anglo-Saxonian friends
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (01.30.19)
May be the artist could say some thing for UK's legacy begining with slavery, colonialism, genocide, conjuring Hitler, now setting up fascistic junta in Ukraine ..
10. a song about BDS
David ,   NYC   (01.30.19)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp8egIIXOwM&feature=related

In Germany it all began
With a separation plan
They sewed a yellow star on every Jew
Now fast forward to today
When there is a plan in play
To separate the nation of the Jews.

You can label all her goods
And in fact I think you should
Just make sure you get it right
"From the one democracy
In a sea of tyranny
Shining like a beacon in the night".

Will you put that on your labels?
And forsake your myths and fables?
Take a stand for truth come don't be shy
You might lose some misled friends
But you should know that in the end
You'll be walking with your head held high.

Now those who push that BDS
They'll be the first one's to confess
Their aim to tear down the Jewish state
But don't take that from me
Investigate and you will see
It's a movement built on hatred and lies.

So which path will you choose
Well of course that's up to you
But to me it's clear as black and white
I'm with that one democracy
In that sea of tyranny
Shining like a beacon in the night.
11. Peter Gabriel
Mark ,   Spotwood,NJ   (01.30.19)
AM ISRAEL CHAI
12. They don't like Jews having more power than them in music.
Sam ,   Montreal   (01.30.19)
So, these creeps want to take it out on Israel. They couldn't care less about Palestinians.
13. Keep a list of all these NEONAZIS
naro ,   nyc   (01.30.19)
These "entertainers" must be boycotted by the public, and be anathema to any Jewish and pro Israel producer, director , or investor. Their careers need to come to an end. Please publicize all their names.
14. JUST IGNORE THESE JUMPED-UP WANKERS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.30.19)
15. self-righteous
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.30.19)
These self-righteous celebrities can only see one side of the israeli -palestinian equation ,therefore their opinions are unworthy of respect ,and these days it is fashionable to pretend to support trendy causes and snowflakes enjoy these causes.
16. BRITISH PISS ARTISTS
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (01.30.19)
17. POPULARITY
YOSSI THE SABRA ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.30.19)
Israel chooses to survive in a difficult region ,Israel has never claimed to be perfect .Only G-D is perfect ,even his creation is not perfect or imperfect. If the fact that Israel chooses to survive and to thrive upsets some folk, so be it.
18. CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (01.30.19)
You can please some of the people all of the time ,and you can please all of the people some of the time, unless you are jewish ,in which case many people have it in for you ,or are against you, regardless of what you do ....or do not do !
19. LOSING SLEEP
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (01.30.19)
I doubt anyone will lose sleep over these 50 losers or their stupid boycotts.
20. Vivienne Westwood ,Peter Gabriel
SUK MAI DIK ,   SAFED KOREA   (01.30.19)
And the remaining " artistes " can see my name !
21. UNHAPPY BRITISH ARTISTS
HARVEY WANKSTAIN ,   SAFED HOLLYWEIRD   (01.30.19)
If these fifty unhappy " artists " have a complaint, they can come and see me, and I will give them something to complain about.....
22. To be ,or not to be ?
SAFED KABBALIST ,   SAFED GENIUS   (01.30.19)
G-D ,in his infinite wisdom ,did not create us as robots ,but rather he created us all with free will and free choice. People are free to bless his chosen nation Israel ,or free to curse Israel. But if these artists wish to be blessed ,they have no choice but to bless Israel. And ,one day, all mankind will realize and come to understand this truth.
23. ARTISTS AND POLITICS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.30.19)
Politics, as any seasoned politician can tell you, is a minefield. Artistes would do well to stay out of the political minefield, especiall ythe middle east political minefield. These artistes have scant knowledge and experience of the israeli / arab conflict ,but these artistes arrogantly imagine they know best . And ,in their distorted minds, they imagine that Israel is always the guilty party ,and the palestinians are as innocent and as oure as the driven snow. These artists should stick to what they know, playing inferior awful music, writing trashy books and poor acting .
24. boycott
pam ,   mansfield   (01.30.19)
I trust they will also boycott all Israeli technology, medicines, medical procedures, films, music, scientific discoveries etc etc.
25. The pharisaic call
Moshe   (01.30.19)
The meaning of the hypocrite letter is simple – Israel has no right to defend itself against the Palestinian terror. According to these British celebrities, the top human right of existing doesn't apply to Jews.

26. I wouldn't necessarily call any of the
Naor ,   Jerusalem   (01.30.19)
Signatories "prominent" and as for the old "apartheid" tag they love to pin on Israel- Britain ooped out of Europe so maybe they shouldn't enter and as for choosing a country with better human rights none of the signatories including that old bag of bones Vivienne Westwood have ever been to Israel.
But of course what can you expect from "Britistan" these days.
27. sadly
Alon ,   Dusseldorf   (01.30.19)
sadly no one consequently boycotted Westwoods fashion and Gabriels music for the foreign policy of the UK (like Falkland Islands).
28. Britain?
Zvi Lando ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.30.19)
Are you referring to the first Pakistani colony?
These "artists" have ruined their country,
and they want to give ours advice?
29. Artists???
Steven Allsopp   (01.30.19)
Please. These sorry excuses for human beings are all anti-semites. And their opinions mean NOTHING.
30. British Hypocrisy
Zvi ,   Toronto   (01.30.19)
What about the Human rights in:
Tibet
Uyghurs in China
Occupied Northern Cyprus by Turkey
Kurdish basic rights in Turkey
Bebrers in Algeria
Christian in Pakistan
