I suppose one has to expect the usual trolling. Though thanks must English Christian for the funniest misspelling I’ve yet seen. Anti-semantics indeed.

Look there’s two more here:

Great job to all the students who live here and understand that the Palestinians are oppressed & humiliated on a daily basis.
I am married to a Palestinian and he is a wonderful person, he is thankful for the Equal rights he has here in America where he is NOT targeted for being a Palestinian.

Until the laws are equal in Israel for all people there no matter if they are Israeli or a Palestinian then the hate train will keep rolling down the tracks there. The Israelis are a military power and should not use it to oppress a group of people for their land. As American we should stand up for the under dog and that is the Palestinian who lives in the Holy Land.

Zkharay and Ed..

“What, exactly, does Israel have to do, point by point, to lift such a ban?”

End the war crimes, stop ocupation, stop acting unproportionally etc etc etc.

“This indeed will go down in history as another chapter in the long European legacy of antisemitism”

definitly, however not for the reason you think. the term “anti-semantic” is now redundant because of people like you who misuse it to mean anti-israel.

long live J-Street..

eventually the people of the UK and Europse will get our politicians (who are funded by these pro-isreal lobbies) to represent what ‘we want’..

Ed, the boycott challenges the actions of a nation-state, not the right for a people to exist.

The misuse of the term ‘anti-semintism’ is well documented, and your comment is a prime example of how campaigns which oppose Israel’s policy of occupation are tarred incorrectly through acusations of racism.

Way to go Sussex. You are doing a fantastic job for justice all over the world. Governments, countries, and individuals, should learn and know, that committing a crime against civilians and innocent children with disregard to life and property will not be without consequences. The message should be sent loud and clear to Israel’s criminal Government by the people of the world, if the other collaborating Governments would not speak for justice and humanity. You are the voices of the dead children that the rogue Israeli army killed without mercy.
