    :mrgreen: Hawking communicates in English, not Hebrew, and he condemns Zionism- not technology.

    So, what's the big deal? If Hawking wants to be consistent, let him use the highest tech chip the Palestinians can make:

    Amazing that the people that fire rockets on innocent people and blow their own children up can find anyone to support their miserable boycott.
    I don't find the world will be flocking to a drooling motorized quisling.

    So true. Their ability to find fools to attempt to change history is likewise uncanny. Like an international cauldron of feces.

    Part of the problem is that Israel behaves with impunity. They have respect for no one. Here's an interesting article

    That's because they are at war with the entire Arab world save Egypt and Jordan. Sort of makes them a bit aggressive when their nation's survival depends on how well they can take out those who wish to kill them.
    I know this comes as a surprise to most but, somebody had to clue you in.

    I suppose it is worth repeating for emphasis. Israel cares for no one and nothing. They arrogantly do what they please.

    Food for thought indeed.

    And you of course care for them so much so that you must have a plan in place that guarantees their safety right?

    Please tell us what this plan might entail if you have one.

    If not, then let's leave them to defend their own best they can like any other nation would their own against the hordes who wish their destruction.

    In the meantime, in the words of Ahmad Ragab

    Least he's not a Holocaust denier.:roflol:

    Go ahead and be sure to support them financially despite their oppression of their people and others. But if you get a chance to boycott an international conference do so even if you don't have a clue as to what is going on.

    wow, dude.

    are you suggesting that one of the great intellects of our time is not entitled to his own opinions about politics, conflict, the human condition? That it is outrageous that he attempt to share his opinions?

    Did it ever occur to you that an intellect of that level while coping with almost incomprehensible physical challenges and yet producing elegant theoretical physics insights, might devise a plan where his weaknesses were irrelevant and where his inaction creates the appropriate reaction and discussion, meanwhile he conserves the maximum amount of energy to combat all the other crap that's physically wrong with him.

    Is there anyone on the planet that you would have respect for even tho he/she disagrees with you? Steven Hawking....man deserves some respect there bro'.

    Not at all. Using his position to do so is wrong though. Puts him in the same category as the Dixie Chicks.

    Yes but he has showed that he closes his mind to possibilities he does not want to consider hence has proven to not be the giant you are making him out to be. his here is another example of his closed mindedness in that he only takes one side.

    Respect for being able to theorize and extrapolate scientific issues. That's for sure. On this issue his 'opinion' is just as uninformed as Jack Napier's or Moon's.

    Thank you for rating my ' opinion ' with that of Stephen Hawking. Hawking is, of course, correct in his evaluation of neoZionism. It is a foul doctrine of ethnic cleansing which everybody should boycott. Temporarily, Hawking heads the intellectual opposition to Israel. There are many hundreds more, many thousands to come. The heat of dissent will shrivel the mealy-mouthed support for brutality which we witness here. Already exposed and lampooned , neoZionism's support will withdraw to the shadows - where it belongs- and we'll be spared further trumpeting by its liars and braggarts.

    Correct or incorrect to shut down an opportunity for dialogue and to just place blame on one side does nothing to further peace. At best, Hawking made some new pals among the anti Israel crowd and at worst, gave Israel another reason to dig their heels in further. I'm sure you are proud of this as is he.

    How so called civilized people could do this to other humans beings boggles the mind

    Children suddenly rendered homeless having to walk with no shoes. WOW!

    Still to this day, these people are beat in the ground. And if someone says it's wrong, they are demonized. Amazing!

    Looks like they are leaving on their own, do not they? No forced deportations, Palestinian arabs escaping the war their Arab brethren had started to wipe newly born Israel off the map and annihilate the entire Jewish population of Palestine.

    Good for them though, they had places/countries to go to escape the horrors of war, the Jews of Palestine had nowhere to go.

    That's not in dispute. They are human being indeed, who left on their own to escape the horrors of war their Arab brothers started on their behalf, fully expecting to be back within a few weeks with victorious arab armies having cleansed Palestine of every Jew....

    Israel forced them out Borat. It's going to be hard for you to whitewash that. What if those were your children? How would you feel.

    In the pictures you post they are clearly leaving on their own, escaping the horrors of war of extermination their Arab brothers had started. There are no Israeli soldiers anywhere near them, pushing them out of the country. They are poor victims of the Arab aggression and wishful thinking (that they'd be back in two weeks in Judenrein Palestine).

    One million jews were actually expelled from Arab lands with just a shirt on their back, most ended up in Israel. Are you crying for them as well?

    It has been well established that Israel FORCED thousands of people from their homes to establish their state. To state otherwise is simply deceit, is unproductive, and is destructive.

    Did the people that Israel forced from their homes during the Nakba expel those Jews from their land?

    The nomenclature "big bang" is rather misleading. According to the theory, there was no bang.
