Israel needs a shot of Finland's potent civic cocktail

i dont want you to come to Finland, stay away pls

Please stay there.

Anyone noticed we share the same flag colors? :) Peace everyone - great nations.

Israel is democracy. I think that no newspaper in Arab countries would publish these harsh comments that can be seen here.

War is bad. But why bombers? Why not be friendly? Why arabs not like Israel? If Israel wants peace, why not to give? Israel not easy to stand bombs.

Hi guys. I wonder what is this crap all about. Why Gaza people waste their money for very expensive missiles to shoot to Israel? Why the heck are they doing that!!??? I have done the military service in Finland and happend to know, that these kind of missiles cost as much, that you could give a life to thousends of poor people for one year with the price of one missile. Has anyone heard anything more stupid? Shoot expensive missiles and hurt the people in that country? Would we like in Finland if Russia would suddenly start hitting our ground constantly just for fun with their weapons? What about Mainilan laukaukset? From internet it is easy to find lots of information, even if the media creates the headlines for their benefits.

We are a country and peolple who has been in war with Russia and overcomed.Beat that, Mr Barak or shut up!

Blessed are those who bless Israel, cursed are those who curse Israel. Proof is in Israel's history. God will protect Israel whether we support them or not. Do we want God's blessings or curses? I am blessed. Are you?

Finland is so nice and clean...why spoil it with a murderer like him?

Very well said!

Israel is a lovely country. Welcome to Finland :)

Great Greetings to Israel People and Mr. Ehud Barak: Everybody in Israel State and in People of Palestine State in Gaza and in West Beach of Jordan River has warm welcome to knowing more about our education, government, and to be nice visit to our wonderful country, also in Sauna, swimming on the lakes in the Summer and Ice hole swimming in the Winter. We have sometimes in the Winter a lot of snow and very frost, maybe about -40 o Celsius, it is 40 Degrees frost, say we in Finland, it is very cold then. Sometimes we have no snow and no ice in our lakes also in the Winter, if we have warm Winter. Our Summer is some times very hot, about maybe 33..35 o Celsius, and then we think that it is too much. Some Summer we have had a lot rainy and then our Summer is not so warm, it is then cold summer, maybe about 15...18 o degrees. But you must come here, and then you see our country, people, weather and especially our Sauna, it is very hot always, in the Summer, in the rainy, dark Autumn, in the frost Winter, in the sunshine Spring, and especially our Midnight Celebration on June 24. day, it is our Without Nights Night, you must see it. Everybody in Israel and Palestine has Welcome to Finland with nice visit to enjoy with us together or alone, if you want so. We love so much piece of nature!, But, you must remember, you must take your money with you, Finland is very expensive country, unfortunately;)

If Ehud Barak says that you should come to Finland, i totally agree and so does the Finnish economy. Because Finland is in the desperate need on highly trained intelligent people in various work places across the country. If you don't let the cold climate frighten you, then Finland is the place for you. Because of the country's permissive attitude towards immigrants, Finland is becoming more and more a melting pot of people from different cultures around the world. Finland has a Jewish communities in various cities, including a 100 year old synagogue in Turku and a kosher food service in Helsinki.

you guys keep on murdering civilians and occypuing other peoples´ country?

I am jari 30.y.o man from finland. i just want to say that Mr.Ehud Barak should come here in finland to see himself and for example study a little bit of finlands history. we are a small, but determined nation forget in conflict, just like israel. you are surrounded by muslim countys. we are neighbor of russians. we had two wars against russians and one against germans during ww2 and as a small nation we were outnumbered in every aspect. (see history of winter war). i just wanted to say that in finland we support israel as it is in same position as we were during our own wars. but what mr Ehud Barak is saying that you should come in winland, i say no. you must face your destiny.
