What if they can't leave, what then, not a good fix for the problem, what have you been drinking?
62. are all israelis this stupid
noah ,   l.a.   (05.19.06)
after being totally alarmed by what i read, i went and read a credible news report and discovered that the so called "national uniform" hads nothing to do with religion. It's modesty wear for dudes, just like women have to wear a head covering in iran , they want to mandate non-western bulky clothing for guys. Absoulutely nothing about jews , christians or any mention to religious distinction. What a bunch neurotic half bakery .You guys need to move on, it's not 1941 anymore. Try to act like normal ppl and maybe everyone will start treating you like normal ppl.
63. license plates 630
facts reminder ,   JERUSALEM   (05.19.06)
from 1967 to begining of the eighties all private cars belonging to arabs of East Jerusalem had yellow license plates starting with the numbers 630 and taxis with 666 although arabs of east jerusalem were obloged by law to pay taxes arnona etc. even the numbers chosen were racist , 630 refering to 3 arab countries defeated in 6 days and equal zero the 666 refers to a satanic aspect. Racism at large some thirty years ago from which Jerusalem arabs muslim and christians suffered from police and army harrassment.
64. #14, # 34, # 39, # 48, Crazy!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.19.06)
You are all suffering from mental retardation. That is the only explanation I have for your logic. To defend or even try to understand this country's actions is simply stupid. This man (Ahmadinejad) is trying to play Hitler Jr. and you fools would not mind it one bit. Not only does this make you racist against Jews, but it also make you stupid. How can you not learn a damn thing from history? The human brain is programmed to so so, but yours are not...again mental retardation. In the end, you will all seewhat happens to regimes like Iran and Syria. I believe we saw a taste of this with Kaddafi in Lybia....dod you ;earn anything from that??? NO....didn't think so. You are all very pathetic people to say the least.
65. this news is certainly alarming
Sergio Rocha ,   San Luis Obispo, CA   (05.19.06)
regardless of whether this religious labeling ends at exactly that, labeling, it still seems as though it is a violation of people's dignity. people should not be labeled this way, allowing others to judge one solely on religion, and not by the content of one's character. the radical islamic government of Iran has stepped too far this time. beforehand i had supported Iran's sovereignty and their right to harness nuclear power. now, i question their good intentions, and military action against them may be the only solution.
66. " WOW , israeli teaching"
Nick ,   USA   (05.19.06)
AS number #14 and #34 said, usarael have used this to mark Palestinians ID's for years ( Blue , Orange, Green,,etc. Even using the trick of date of birth number to distinguish between jews and none jews jerusalem residence...Now they get to live it and 60 talkback to wine about it. We have said before, what goes around comes around....lol
67. adolf learned it rom Islam
bob ,   potomac md   (05.19.06)
Hitler's yellow badges were an adaptation of Islamic practices--
68. #54 you bumbling idiot....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.19.06)
Hitler was also the leader of germany, did he have the right to do what he did??? If you answer yes, then we understand who you are. I don't get how people with a fully functional brain become like you. Maybe you can explain? Crazy fool!!!
69. and who are our "leaders" now?
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (05.19.06)
Prime Minister Merlot/Smolmert/Walmart and Defense Minister Keres. Men of steel, visionaries, brave and wise. The Jews' fate is in their hands, now. Bravo, brilliant Israeli voters! Kadima!
70. RESCUE ALL IRANIAN JEWS!!
MARK ,   USA   (05.19.06)
MAKE THE UN RESCUE THE IRANIAN JEWS. They have never helped the Jews. Let them start.!! Grant them asylum in America. U.S.
71. Iran, "ribbons and rumours"
Irvin Weinstein ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (05.19.06)
Israell has dispossessed, murdered and robbed the indegenous Palestinians for 60 years and still continues to deny them their own revenues even in the face of near collapse of their economy. Some starve. And still there are no shortage of occupiers to attack the Iranian president on "ribbons and rumours", pathetic! And you call yourselves followers of Moses?
72. to #58
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (05.19.06)
So long as you (and those like you) feel both amused and annoyed, I remain comforted. The greatest benefit we have on this talkback remains its potential for misinformation. We must do whatever we can to confuse facts and elicit emotional pleas rather than promote careful analysis. In this sense, I support you all.
73. #63-License Plates 630-THE TRUTH
Arie   (05.19.06)
You really need to get your "facts" from some source OTHER than the hamass web-site! The truth regarding Israeli license plates are NOT based on numbers as the fiction reminder states but based on colour: Red plates= Israeli police cars (marked + unmarked + some private cars owned by cops) Black plates= Israeli military vehicles (includes a lot of civilian type cars driven by soldiers) Yellow plates= standard plates, used by any Israeli citizen whether Arab, Jew or Christian who lives within the Green line and Jerusalem Blue plates (these are the ones that cause a lot of confusion)= Non-Israeli citizens (Palestinians) living in the territories e.g. the West Bank. Israeli residents of the West Bank (settlers) use Yellow plates and not Blue plates. The common fallacy is that lisence plate colour depends solely upon the drivers religion. This is totally untrue. An Arab Israeli owned vehicle and a Jewish Israeli owned vehicle have exactly the same plate colour.
74. RETARDING BENJIE
KAPARA   (05.19.06)
Benjie, You stated: "what about racist license plates used in occupied territory to identify jews".....I guess you mean the jews in the "occupied territory" should be given plates like the ones that the palestinian authority gives the palestinians....THAT WAY THEY WILL NOT BE THE TARGETS OF PALESTINIAN SNIPERS. I GUESS YOU ARE STATING THAT THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IS RACIST! YOUR RIGHT.
75. #63
wanda ,   montreal   (05.19.06)
now that is interesting, can you show a source? weird the outcry over religious/minority segregationism from a state that practices it in earnest.
76. # 62
yakov shani ,   Israel   (05.19.06)
# 21 is a five star idiot.# 39 beats him by one star and you beat # 39 and have just received seven.
77. This report can't be true
Matan ,   Israel   (05.19.06)
The Iranians are zealots, but they are not stupid nore are they crazy.
78. To Benjie (#14)
Joan ,   Haifa   (05.19.06)
Israeli license plates are yellow., Jewish, Muslim or Christian notwithstanding.
79. Stephane 44
keren ,   sao paulo   (05.19.06)
The problem is that Bolivia,Venezuela and probably Brasil,if Lula is reelected,are going together in the same way.These presidents have all the same mind.They are populists and hate Western.And Venezuela is the 5th major oil productor in the world,and he is using this power in a dangerous manner. But what I meant is that I am afraid this is a worlwide strong tendency,inclusively ,and unfortunately ,in France ,where many Jews are leaving or desiring to leave as well,as I've been hearing.
80. This is prophecied in book of Daniel & Revelation
Paul ,   USA   (05.19.06)
For those who are sober about the times we are in, the bible clearly outlines this gathering of hatred against Isael and Christians. Israel is a burdensome stone and the King of Kings will soon execute judgement on all His enemies.
81. Israeli propaganda strikes again
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (05.19.06)
82. Iran
Connie ,   USA   (05.19.06)
That's interesting. Here in the u.s. tying a yellow ribbon on a tree in front of your house or magnetic one on your car means that you support the u.s. troops in iraq. It will also mean we support the downfall of the iranian goverment, whatever means that comes by.
83. Now
Ivri   (05.20.06)
the left is once again joining arms with the islamist-jihadist in an effort to tell us how justified this is. There is no point getting angry over the talkbacks from these Nazi simpathisers,muslim apeasers and an assortment of uneducated arabs. This new development just shows the true collors of our enemies. We must voice our outrage to our leaders,and demand mass rallies in support of jews EVERYWHERE,..and stand up tall with resolve and faith to destroy this evil.
84. Hey yakov, in #43 I think you meant to say #14, not #21.
sk ,   USA   (05.20.06)
85. As a Holocaust Survivor I say to; - 54, 34,39,48,14
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.20.06)
Be ashamed - SHAME ONTO YOU Your day of Truth will come when you have to face your master, who will present you with the bill for your values
86. iranian PM to wear JACKASS emblem.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (05.20.06)
87. He is begging, but why?
Bobbie ,   South Dakota USA   (05.20.06)
With China and Russia not backing the Security Counsels attempt to control this fella, I wonder, and pray I am wrong, why he is asking for it to often and to much? He must have reason to believe he could win a war with the US and it's friends, however few they seem to be at this time. This worries me greatly.
88. Horrified
Eva   (05.20.06)
This story disgusts me. I hope everyone sees through this as an act of instigation. This nut wants a war. And badly. IMHO, if the jews and christians in Iran want to leave, they will ask for help if they can't leave. I don't think its their "own fault" that they didn't leave when they had the chance. Let me ask you this: Would you leave your home if someone told you to come live elsewhere, JUST because you are a minority? And Iranian jews have cohabitated with muslims for many years. Some are friends, some do business... and yes some hate eachother BUT this is not the same scenario as the many of the people from Europe who came to Israel. Its only the truth to say that they have never grown up around muslims/arabs. So tolerance? So this is why I can understand why they did not leave when they had a chance. Maybe there wasn't a big enough threat. Perhaps even they lived in peace. I would NEVER leave my home unless I was specifically in danger. And as Israel does.... why not STAY and fight for what is yours. This is their home. Let them ask for help if they truly need it. They will leave if they want.
89. MUSLIM Immigrants inALL WesternNations have All HUMAN RIGHTS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.20.06)
and complete freedom. It is very reasonable to request that non-Muslims in Muslim countries are given all of the human rights and total freedom that we give to Muslims.
90. #28 Korosh Thank you for standing by Jews & Christians
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.20.06)
It is very much appreciated. G-D knows all those who fear Him. Cyrus, the Persian, was indeed a great king who helped the Jews, recorded in the Bible.
