      "nonviolent pressure" works on both sides.
      I would prefer to see a breakthrough that will bring to negotiation.
      Instead those acts, will only bring the same amount of pressure from the other side.
      And who will gain..... the Palestinians, No , the Israelis No.
      Only those who don't want to see any progress or negotiation.
      Those who push radical ideas, that have no connection to reality and will not bring any side anywhere, from Both sides.

      eljay

      Before you jump read.
      I mentioned that "Philip Munger" is a joke....... and not PHIL, but as usual you want to read, or for you all of you here are the same.
      I never mentioned that I am "doomed to continued war" as Ramzi Jaber the one you defend so much writes .
      I mentioned clear that I want PEACE and JUSTICE.
      But I have to make peace with Ramzi Jaber and not with you, so read what he writes again and CAREFULLY.
      "So we are doomed to continued war (and an upcoming third intifida that may have just gotten ignited in Al Khalil) until the demographics balance between the river and the sea changes by 2050 or so."

      Would you make peace with someone that tells you clearly that he wants war and waits that the demographic will change even if it will take 40 years.

      Lets hear your answer.

      eljay

      Read carefully what your Ramzi writes
      "“So we are doomed to continued war (and an upcoming third intifida that may have just gotten ignited in Al Khalil) until the demographics balance between the river and the sea changes by 2050 or so. Palestinians, if anything, are a very patient people!!!!!!!!”

      This is your peacefull advocate......
      Plays arround with words but at the end gives his real nerrative.
      He wants war until the demographics balance between the river and the sea changes by 2050........

      If this is your solution for peace.
      Well advise it to someone else.
      This is not the persons who wants peace .

    • yrn May 11, 2013 at 9:23 am

      Philip

      "Good job, Ramzi." of what
      What did he say, read his comments.
      He dose not want any solution, he just gives all the reason why not.
      He has no evidence only stories.

      So what's his good job.
      for saying, I want peace, but I don't want any solution.

      You are a joke

    • yrn May 10, 2013 at 4:33 pm

      Ramzi Jaber

      Read some of your comments.
      I love the integrity and your way of thinking.
      Fool of stories from your Mom and Dad, no evidence

      "we will push the criminal zionist occupation back to the 1967 line with this comprehensive and sustained approach. I bet it will not take more than 3 months to accomplish.... Time to go to work and liberate the occupied State of Palestine!"

      But then there is another version, if the public does not like the first one !!!!

      "We will no longer ask for any land back from israel. We will no longer ask for settlements to stop. We will no longer bother with the US. We will no longer beg for our rights."

      And here comes the real Ramzi.......
      So at the end you speak up, you are for war....... and you want the balance to change so you will have the power..... so what are you talking about peace.....

      "So we are doomed to continued war (and an upcoming third intifida that may have just gotten ignited in Al Khalil) until the demographics balance between the river and the sea changes by 2050 or so. Palestinians, if anything, are a very patient people!!!!!!!!"

      And Now about your religion Idea's.
      We Jews are not the Jews of then......

      "What is surprising to me is the lack of realization that the Jews of then are in fact the Christians of today; the Jews of then are NOT the Jews of today"

      "Also note that Christians and Moslems and Jews are RELIGIONS that descended from the ARABS, with Arabs being one of the largest Semitic tribes who claim Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ismail (Ishmael) as their ancestors."

      Ramzi Jaber

      Your problem with me is that I am 9 Generation in Israel.
      So your stories are made up, lets see some Evidence.
      fool someone else with your stories
      I checked my History'as what I wrote is My History.
      [..... ]
      You can fool those here, but your problem is that there are others who read your stories.
      So before you call some one a Liar, think carefully, as I did not call you names as you always do,
      I just gave facts.
      You gave your routine propaganda.

    • yrn May 10, 2013 at 2:28 pm with 27 replies

      Ramzi Jaber writes
      "we were living in peaceful coexistence with Jews in Palestine "

      In April 1920, Amin al-Husseini and other Arab leaders organised the 1920 Jerusalem riots where 10 people were killed and 250 others wounded. Several women were raped and two synagogues fired. Jews were particularly shocked by these events and viewed the events as a pogrom.[81] Next year, on April 1921, Arabs of Jaffa attacked Jews in the city, particularly around the Red House whose inhabitants were massacred. 95 people were killed and 219 injured.
      Religious tension over Western Wall, an international economic crisis and nationalist tension over Zionist immigration led to the 1929 Palestine riots. In these religious-nationalist riots Jews were massacred in Hebron killing of sixty-seven Jews and the survivors were expelled from the town. Devastation also took place in Safed and Jerusalem.

      Well what can I tell you real peaceful coexistence with Jews.

      We heard people like you before....................

      "I thought “antisemitism” had something to do with a mental disease among gentiles causing irrational behavior."

      Well if someone... hates the Jews because they have money, it is "a mental disease " causing irrational behavior."
      Because Most Jews came to America without a penny as they were discriminated in Europe, they made their money with their two hands (and not because they got it from their parents or someone else).
      So if someone hates Jews because they made money, well he should go and check his mental condition, as this comes from mental sick Jealousy nothing else.
      So this answers your question.

  • Remembering the Warsaw Ghetto uprising

      A large proportion of Polish schoolchildren are openly anti-Semitic, a shocking new survey suggests today.
      The study, carried out at schools across the capital Warsaw, showed more than 60 per cent of those asked would be 'unhappy' if they discovered their boyfriend or girlfriend was Jewish.

      The number of Jews in Poland on September 1, 1939 amounted to about 3,474,000 people. One hundred thirty thousand soldiers of Jewish descent served in the Polish Army at the outbreak of the Second World War/
      Between 40,000 and 100,000 Polish Jews survived the Holocaust in Poland by hiding or by joining the Polish or Soviet partisan units. Another 50,000–170,000 were repatriated from the Soviet Union and 20,000–40,000 from Germany and other countries. At its postwar peak, there were 180,000–240,000 Jews in Poland mostly in Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków, Wrocław and Lower Silesia, e.g., Legnica, Dzierżoniów and Bielawa
      Anti-Jewish riots broke out in several Polish cities and hundreds of Jews were murdered in anti-Jewish violence (see: Anti-Jewish violence in Poland, 1944-1946). The best-known case is the Kielce pogrom of 1946, in which thirty-seven Jews were brutally murdered. Kielce antisemitic riot, amidst the raging civil war in postwar Poland, discouraged many survivors from rebuilding their lives there and convinced them to emigrate.
      3,200 Jews live in Poland today.....................

      And two days ago Atzmon writes about Phil...... looks like he has a lot to say about Phil

      "For the Jewish progressive discourse, the purpose behind pro-Palestinian support is clear. It is to present an impression of pluralism within the Jewish community. It is there to suggest that not all Jews are bad Zionists. Philip Weiss, the founder of the most popular progressive pro-Palestinian blog was even brave enough to admit to me that it is Jewish self -interests that stood at the core of his pro Palestinian activity.

      Jewish self-love is a fascinating topic. But even more fascinating is Jewish progressives loving themselves at the expense of the Palestinians."

      Read the following results

      Some 20% of households in Sweden owned Sodastream machines as of 2010. In January 2011 the company marked the sale of its millionth soda maker in the country. Europe accounts for 52% of Sodastream's sales.
      Since May 2012, Sodastream is sold in over 2900 Walmart locations in the United States. In June equity research firm Monness Crespi Hardt & Co. stated that Sodastream's machines were selling out at Walmart. Sodastream's U.S. sales grew from US$4.4 million in 2007 to $40 million in 2011.

      We usually don't agree on many things as you are out of context.....
      But this movie is addressed for Israelis , that have an understanding of the context, that Israeli's want to have an agreement and finish once and for all most issues and live in peace, that's why we are not afraid or don't hide the fact, that there is a problem to be solved, there are two sides that suffer from this situation and there will be a way, that both parties will come to a situation that everyone is going to be happy on his side.
      Most commenters here have a pre-requisite Agenda and a movie like that only works to push their predicted Agenda, that I don't bother at all to debate, as I know their pre-requisite Agenda, it was there most of the Jewish History, only issue is, that those days, Israelis who have a state and a Nation , knows and are not effected by those views.

      Israel is a free society, everyone can express his issues and in case he dose not find the resources as in this point , he will always find someone in the Israeli society that will raise his voice to help him out, as at the end of the day, we know what's happening, we know that the situation is bad for both sides and we want to solve it as we understand and the other side understand and only both sides will end this conflict, all other assumptions and ideas of foreigner are just good for passing away their time...... ,

      while the Israeli government, funds documentary as those, not just tolerating and giving them public, but encourage those movie makers to create them, as we are a free society, we accept their views,
      While you just take advantage to through your regular predicted agenda.

      I am proud that Israel funded that film, as it shows you guys, that we don't hide issues which are problematic in our society, I am proud that every one can create a movie and express his views, Palestinian and Israelis, as for you.You are predicted.

      Reminds me on the Israeli Palestinian citizens, who scream discrimination, but are not willing to take part in Civil service in their Palestinian villages or towns.
      In one hand they get fool rights as anyone else who dose his duties to the country, but on the other hands they are not willing to contribute even to their society.

      That's eating the cake and leave it full.

  • Palestinian citizens of Israel represent a core issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
    • yrn February 16, 2013 at 9:42 am

      Well there is a plan to swap territories once hopefully a peace agreement with the Palestinian will occur.
      The Idea that populated area's near the future border, will become part of the Palestinian state, instead of area's that are going to be swapped in the agreement.

      Non of the Israeli Arab Palestinians wants to belong to the Palestinian state, nothing is going to be changed, they are going to stay in the same place, only their Nationality and government are going to be changed and they are going to be part of their Palestinian state.
      For all of those who are going to jump "transfer", cool down, nobody is going to move an inch, the area where they live in, is going to become part of the Palestinian state, that's what they want don't they

      this plan is still alive and non of the Palestinian citizens of Israel want to have anything to do with their Palestinian brothers or the Palestinian state.
      They all want to be part of ISRAEL.
      Makes one wander why????

  • 'Haaretz' writer calls for boycott of Israel
    • yrn February 11, 2013 at 1:53 pm

      Btw, one of the great Israeli Critics Uri Aveneri, is the best example for "been used out of context", I don't think that there was a even one day, when he did not criticize something in Israel, but he is one of the best journalist Israel ever had, he Loves Israel and you will always see a optimistic last sentence in most of his article, for a better Israel.
      But usualy, he is been used by all the AntiZ and AntiS taking words out his articles, that are completely out of context, He knows about it and claimed regarding the hypocrisy of those who do it and use his words out of context.

      Does this writer risk lawsuit under Israel’s draconian no-BDS law?

      The freedom of speech in the Israeli society, is much stronger then in the US.
      Yitzhak Laor is not Mainstream as Mr. Wiess as usual declares from lack of knowledge.
      Laor is from the far Left, always have been and it not just ok with everyone, but be surprised, his Poems are been studied in the Israeli School System as part of the matriculation exams, as many other Non Mainstream Israelis from the Left.
      This is the great face of the Israeli society, that has it all and they are all tolerated and accepted, and that's why you guys get so much Information, that most of you don't have the context to Understand the situation and the debate in the Israeli society, for Mr. Wiess every one that criticizes Israel (and many do and good that they do, as we want a better society) is either been used as in this article, or some of his words are been used to spew and smear.

      So pabelmont , don't worry, Mr. Yitzhak Laor is a very distinguished and honorable Poet and got Twice the Israeli Prime Minister price twice.
      I can tell you that there are much heavier critics in Israel and express their views and they are respectable and are part of our free and open society.

      Now you can go on with your standard comments.

  • They Can't Hide the Sun: An interview with Omar Barghouti
    • yrn February 8, 2013 at 4:23 am

      "unlike all the Palestinian students in Gaza whose lives have been deliberately ruined by Israel’s refusal to let them take up their scholarships in universities abroad."

      Kris, Gaza has a border with its brother Arabs, they can go and study in Egypt , so were is your problem, since when is Israel part of the Hamas elected government education department.

      Were dose Israel "deliberately" stop them from studying in Egypt, its a border between Egypt and Gaza, if Egypt wanted especially now with the new democratic elected Morsei, they could give them all the benefit and help they can get to study, but that's not the situation, and YOU and all the other's here want say a word about it, as how will you criticize Israel.

      Kris

      Great to have those links that shows Nothing.
      Sure those who live in the occupied territories, don't have the same rights..... as they are not Israeli Citizens. the other has nothing to do with discrimination laws on the contrary its mentions that "Israel has passed legislation to assist in the eradication of racism, "

      I love the most the long comment with "Special Military Order"........
      let me remind you all, Israeli is still in a hostile war situation with the Palestinians and Arab neighbor countries......
      Not as some would like to show as Klaus Bloemker that compare the Situation in Israel to CANADA.

      Omar Barghouti is a joke in Israel, as those you can buy in a penny......
      he wants to boycott the institution that gives him education....
      At the end Omar Barghouti will get the Israeli prize for hypocrisy, as how many places would accept someone who only says the worse words he can use and with all of that, accepts him as a member.

      Show me more places like that.

    • yrn February 7, 2013 at 2:39 pm with 8 replies

      There are literally dozens of laws in Israel that discriminate between its Jewish and non-Jewish citizens. .......

      Typical Barghouti........ what an Intellectual..... claims with NO evidence, if there a dozens....... well bring only ONE.
      As a PHD. Student In "TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY" , well the so called, Prominent activist movement calling for Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel ........ - but that did not stop Omar Barghouti to register to his apartheid oy vey Tel Aviv University to obtain a doctorate in philosophy.......
      Omar says "My studies at Tel Aviv University are a personal matter, ".

      What a Joke.

  • Unilever shuts down Ariel settlement factory, moves production west of the Green Line (Updated)
    • yrn February 10, 2013 at 2:13 pm

      Get some New stuff.....
      BTW Unilever got a 10,000,000 Shekel fund from the government for that move, as it created 250 working places in Safed instead of the Palestinians that used to work in Bagel Bagel Barkan.
      Most Israelis as the Government found this move beneficial, it was funded by the government as it fits the policy to build up working places in Safed.

      There was an interview with the distinguished Spanish writer Antonio Molina who came to Israel to get a special Honor, he lectures in NY University and of course got many Email and letters, one envelop even directly to his work Mail box in the University and he describes those acts as the lowest Bully's.

      That's the reaction to the boycott

      You are living in Lala Land.
      Why Canada
      Israel is like Swiss, or Belgium or the UK were there are few languages and that's the only problem they have........
      we just have to solve the language issue with the Arabs and that's it, like in the above countries.
