Barenboim says: "Of course they don't want us. We emerged from the war with an independent army, and they don't have a state." Last time I checked, they have 21 states, you effete pseudo-intellectual!

nuff said!

please gather Hitler, Arafat, Yassin, Goebbels, Rantissi, and Saddam Hussein and Ahmenajad and move to the moon where you guys can entertain each other with "peace" teories all day long, or at least as long as the oxygen reserve will permit it.

barenboim is a respectet person here in germany one of the good jewish the germans believes. they need him for the critics of the israelis .fore the opposite he needs them for his carierre

"The criticism against me ridicules the myth of Jewish intelligence". Why should anyone even listen to what this lowlife says?

Your smart ass answer is because you consider all Arabs as one and the same, but they have different nationalities which has nothing to do with their ethnicity just as Jews have different nationalities which is separate and apart from religion, just as white folks have different nationalities which is separate and apart from their race, just as the same goes for Black folks. Get it now? You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand it, but I guess in your case, it requires somewhat more intelligence.

poor Daniel. he thinks that knowing something about music makes him wise. he thinks that being empathetic makes him perceptive. he thinks that people who are polite to him and accept his generosity are necessarily decent people, loving peace, incapable of hate or genocide. poor Daniel. so talented and such a fool.

Bravo to this state that could give birth to such great person as Barenboim.. and bravo to Palestine to give birth to such great person as Edward Said, his mate.. I hope enough people in Israel will listen to him, for his way is the only way to peace and.. Israel's future.

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." - Zuheir Mohsen, a PLO leader, in a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw. So, please stfu, as you have no idea what you're talking about.

It is interesting how some of the zionist pioneers question the morality of modern "zionism". I hope such introspection is more wide-spread. In the end, there is a new world order. And this world order has already decreed that there is to be a palistinian arab state (not jordan) living side by side with israel. What many people ignore, is the fact that political zionism from its beginnings was subject to this emerging new world order. It cannot rebel against it. You see this among israel's leadership today. It is time for zionists to prepare to live in peace with the "arabs", b'cos zionism cannot go against the new world order which lies at its very root. Hence, the sometimes surprising actions of israel's leadership who are privy to this fact...
