31. Shai thanks
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.30.06)
Shai hayakar, Thanks for the kind words. As you and I have stated "maskimim lo lehaskim" but in an adult and calm way.
32. 27 shai: Have you noticed You have NO real followers ONLY a
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.30.06)
few Lefties ... and of course the Arabs which love it when the Left Jews support their cause of the destruction of the State of Israel Hummmm - same Left lot we had during the 30's ... very familiar
33. Reuters: SUDAN'S JIHAD SLAVES PLEAD FOR HELP
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.30.06)
Bible, Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death" Black Africans are the indigenous people of Sudan and are the majority population. The black Southern Sudanese Christians explain what "peace" means: If you agree to become a Muslim, you will have peace. If you reject Islam, you are at war. From 1955-1973, 1.5 million Christians were slaughtered by the Arab Muslim government in Khartoum. From 1983-2005, two million more Christians died from Khartoum's jihad. Murdering infidels is not considered a crime. Non-Muslim infidels are regarded as not entitled to human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been raped. Hundreds of thousands of Christian children and women taken for slaves. In the refugee camps, the Islamo-Fascist religious supremacist Khartoum government requires refugees to become Muslims in order to receive food and water. The genocide has resulted in the largest population of refugees on earth since the Second World War. The jihad in Sudan against Darfur's black African Muslims by Khartoum's racist Arab Muslim regime began in 2003. 400,000 black Muslims are dead. STOP Genocide - STOP Slavery - FREE the Slaves http://www.iabolish.org/ Bible, Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death"
34. Kate's aspersions on Gentiles
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.30.06)
" I do not believe that any gentile from Britain has a moral right to criticise Israel" Great sentence Kate. So one is only allowed an opinion if one is Jewish. Does that include Orthodox? Chabad? Reform? Liberal? Please specify who in your world is allowed an opinion. I had may Serbian friends during the Balkan wars who said exactly the same: "Only Serbians can understand our situation". Truly pathetic - as any human being has the right to state that the massacre at Srebrenica was a crime. However, I am not Serbian so my opinion didn't count. Now if you are going to play the condemnation game, we could come up with a long list of things for you to condemn also, but I doubt that you will agree to any of them. That doesn't mean that I can say, in deep homage to your original statement that you, whatever your religion or ethnicity, do not have a right to criticise. As for my statement, I condemn violence on all sides - I don't know how much clearer I can make that statement for you. What is it you don't understand about "all sides"? It seems that you simply wish to pick a fight with a goy, and it is unseemly of you.

Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.30.06)
Your comments about Shai are obnoxious. So many assumptions, suppositions, such a lot of anger, such a big generalisation, and such a lot of laughter coming out of Geneva. Why, Ms Gabrielle, can you not discuss matters in an adult way without throwing around mammoth slurs about anyone whose opinions differ from yours 0.001%? What sort of world do you want to live in? As we have already said, Stalinism is long dead.
36. 35 Rustum: You are just a simple Lefty-That's obnoxious
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.30.06)
I am not angry young chap But I am a realist You are a Left to Lenin Joke The world has never been saved by Your types Islamic Jihad loves your types since You help their cause. I suggest you move to Gaza and Ramallah and explore a bit reality But be careful - they love to kidnap your types Have you passed yet the teenage stage ? - You sound like the lost student
37. Rustum Grow Up Youngster you live in Utopia

38. Rustum
yakov shani ,   IL.   (05.30.06)
In re the current dialogue between you and Gabrielle with Shai joining in. It is not my intention here to take sides. I do not know how old you are so please do not get the impression that I am lecturing you because I believe you to be young and inexperienced. I just want to point out to you that certain experiences in life have the ability to have a long term radical effect on a person. It is always wise to take this into account when dealing with emotional issues. Myself for instance, I am a very liberal minded person on all issues in life with one exception, Israel and all that the name implies. It is not just my love of Israel that has contributed to the extreme positions I take but also certain experiences. When faced with death on a personal level, or worse, the pending destruction of home and family, or worse still, the actual destruction of those and your survival, one tends to change very radically in certain directions. Your posts are well written and indeed, as Shai stated, you are a decent fellow. Noble and honorable virtues are good for the soul, but only for the soul. At times they must be put aside in order for the heart to keep on beating.
39. Rustom?....is that you Inayat?

40. Rustum
ebbe ,   usa   (05.30.06)
The problem I see with people like rustum who are" a person distinctly opposed to violence" is that they never make comdemnations of arab violence. They only complain after Israel tries to protect herself. I am also opposed to violence, but only to violence against the innocent. But i am FOR violence against the violent. Thus when violent arabs are killed by the IDF or by American marines, I for one am NOT unhappy.
41. To Rustum
Jenny ,   NYC   (05.30.06)
I pretty much agree with Yakov's post to you however I'd like to respond to the following quote of yours: "As for my statement, I condemn violence on all sides - I don't know how much clearer I can make that statement for you. What is it you don't understand about "all sides"? " I understand your feelings, so how do you think Israel should respond to the qassams launched at Israel from Gaza daily? Gaza is no longer "occupied" by Israel so that can no longer be used as an excuse for "resistance." So what is your solution? Should Israel take a walk over to the qassam launchers and say "please drop your weapons, let's talk this over, over a cup of nana tea and resolve our differences." I really do believe, as Shai stated, that you have noble intentions, however I don't think you offer any real solutions to the various problems in the Middle East conflict. Yes, violence should stop on both sides but there is nothing you can do when the other side calls for your death daily and even writes it into their constitution.
42. Re: Happy? Re: Rustum
Steven ,   London   (05.31.06)
I am unhappy when Arab bystanders are killed for this will make things worse. More so though, I am angry when Israeli's civilians are targetted and murdered. Neither is good, I can understand people who express happiness though for a huge majority of Arab's who have been killed are active terrorists or terrorist supporters, but not every one is. They are our neighbours, they are human, I dislike news of their deaths too. But back to the Reuters topic, hey? Rustum, perhaps if you condem violence on both sides you should understand that when a person expresses relief or even celebration at a thwarted terrorist attack or of the deaths of Palestinian terrorists, it is not eqivilent to a newspaper employee visiting a well known persons website and threatening to slice their throat. This is an article about a death threat against a blog against Jihadim - if you truly condemn violence you should be against the Reuters employee's blatently anti-Jewish threats and hold back the need to be a devils advocate. The time to voice concern about people celebrating Palestinian deaths is when such deaths are the topic, when the Palestinian is harmed due to Israeli action and when when the Palestinian was clearly an innocent, aka. not a "militant", "dissident" or dare I say it, terrorist.
43. death threat
john flaherty ,   Everett, WA, US   (05.31.06)
Where was the threat? I read the article and saw no threat. the message as you reprinted it was: "The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut." I can say that I look forward to the end of the world when all evil-doers will get their just rewards. Have I made a threat? Have I said that I personally intend to do anything? You undermine your own credibility as journalists. Do you actually understand language and the meaning of statements?
44. 43 john flaherty: You are Wrong this was a THREAT
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.31.06)
to write to anyone: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut." = A Threat it is legally a threat Police rightfully handles it as A Threat If you cannot see reality - than you have a serious problem with reality
45. Reuters is the enemy!
Mark ,   RPV, CA   (08.06.06)
As if we eneded any more evidence of what Reuters stands for, this liberal leaning anti-American "news" service should be banned from US circulation. I wish the Bush administration would clamp down on this type of subversion and arrest the editors in charge of the lying they promote. God Bless those fighting terrorism for all to benefit from and GO TO HELL Reuters for trying to bring down the USA.
46. Figures
Robert ,   New York City, USA   (08.06.06)
He's suspended until they decide just how high up they're going to promote him to management at Reuters. It's infested with Israel / Jew haters. Same thing goes for The Guardian.
47. Rueters
JD ,   Gilbert, AZ - USA   (08.06.06)
I guess the true colors of people all around the world are becoming clearly obvious. I support Isreal vehemently and oppose the new anti semetism emerging in the world. Where Isreal stands, America stands with you!
48. question for Rostum
John in Texas ,   Austin, TX   (08.06.06)
i have a hypothetical for you ... monday. a hezbollah unit forces a christion lebanese family to allow them to install a katyusha rocket launcher in their garage, 5 miles north of the israeli border. they have not evacuated the s. leb as instruce because hezbollah soldiers said they would be shot if found with shia lebanese. friday, 8am. one of the hezbollah 'soldiers' fires 8 katyushas from the garage, while his comrade holds a machine gun on the frightend christian family . the rockets indiscriminately kill an 84 yr old jewish women & 2 arab children 25 miles away. friday, 8:15am. the house and the christian family are completely destroyed by israeli retaliation fire. the hez guys have been gone for 10 minutes, laughing when they left. question for rostum & his apologists. why do the israeli's continue to commit these atrocities? why don't they show restraint. why are they so merciless?
49. the final solution
Brad ,   Oklahoma USA   (08.06.06)
The only way that this conflict is going to be finally ended is when the jihadists are completely wiped off the face of the earth. Do not hesitate, show no mercy.
50. Hold the presses - Muslim is antisemitic
Sally ,   Las Vegas   (08.06.06)
Wow... what a surprise and Reuters too!
53. Reuters
CHR ,   USA   (08.06.06)
Wow... What has happened to Reuters? I suppose the same thing that has happened to AP, CBS and NYT...It has been taken over by the worst elements of the 60s generation.
54. REUTERS can't shoot straight
stevelaw ,   atlanta USA   (08.06.06)
Doctored photos? Death threats? Where is Reuters getting their employees from? Recently laid off New York Times people?!?
55. Reuters employee's hate mail
Duane Lamers ,   Troy, Michigan USA   (08.06.06)
The latest piece of slop out of Reuters, the employee's hate email to a blogger, is just the most recent of a very long series of unprofessional journalistic acts by Reuters. This is the outfit, remember, that banned the use of the word "terrorist" to describe terrorists involved in terrorist acts throughout the world. Were Reuters a wasp nest (it is), most people would have it burned because it cannot be reconstructed into something beneficial. Massive infestation requires destruction of the host site. That won't happen because Reuters is a business and its clients are most of the media. That alone assures its continued operation.
56. Reuters, NY Times, and ...
DC ,   NC   (08.06.06)
you guys forgot PBS... Palestinia--- uh, i mean, "Public Broadcasting Service"
57. death threat = true intent
ldd ,   Montreal Canada   (08.06.06)
You're moral compass is pointing to mecca, not suppose to be that way with journalists. Mind you with reuters, bbc, cnn, cbc they are ALL anti-semitic! In Canada the news casters all hate Jews, Almost as much as they hate the Americans.....
58. Reuters' doctored photos
Claude Croteau ,   Canada   (08.06.06)
They are all in the same boats. Those ''chickenned'' journalists reports friendly biased news and photos from doctored photos by the terrorists. And I include CNN, AP, Reuters of course, all those big USA bashing Bush media and even the represenatives of the Red Cross....REMEMBER QANA ? THE ISREALI STRIKE OCCURRED AT 24OO HUNDRED HOUR AT NIGHT AND THE BUILDING COLLAPSED AT 0700 THE NEXT MORNING. 55 people were supposed to have died. As I write these lines, it's been downgraded to 26. HOW NAIVE CAN TEHY LOOK ! BUT, WHY ? A) These bunch of coward journalists shit in their pants at the look of these cold blodded terrorist murderers. B) They want to preserve their ''on the scene contacts'' with these lunatics. C) There nurse a consumed hatred againts President Bush. If you don't agree, prove me wrong ! BYE ! Claude Croteau http://claudecroteau.com
59. Reuters not news but propaganda
Nick ,   Washington DC   (08.06.06)
Reuters turned into a far left, anti-U.S, anti-Israel organization long ago. It has lost all credibility with the U.S mainstream public, and is just used and referred to by very far left publications. Obviously, their employees are now moving from subtle spin to agents of terrorist spewing death threats and doctored pics.
60. Islam
DC ,   USA   (08.06.06)
Anyone with a brain knows the goal of Islam is to destroy western civilation and bring it under control of the Quran and back to the 7th century.Can anyone tell me when ,or if , our politicians are going to wake up and shut the borders to this radical cult?
