4. Repeat the truth!! Dispel the lies!!
(02.11.07)
Fact: The Latin/Greek name "Palestine" was given to the land of Israel by the Romans who conquered it in 135 A.C. Jerusalem was then also renamed "Capitolina." Fact: In the 1920's, Haj Amin Al-Husseini created a shared consciousness among local Arabs who formed into a "nation"—picking up the Roman name—along with many Arab immigrants who came to "Palestine" from neighboring countries in the 20th century. Fact: Al-Husseini, the founding father of the Palestinian "nation" and predecessor of Yasser Arafat, traveled to Germany in 1941 to shake Hitler's hand and to articulate his ambition to expand the extermination of Jews. He was supported and funded by the Nazis for this aim. Fact: The PLO was created in 1964, three years before the 1967 war. Fact: In 1967 Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Syria closed in on Israel in an overt attempt to annihilate it. They lost Gaza (then under Egypt), WB (then under Jordan), Sinai and Golan Heights. If they had succeeded, their "Nazi" aims would have been achieved. Fact: The "Palestinian National Covenant" calls for the total destruction of Israel. Fact: Israel withdrew completely from Gaza in August 2005. There was not a single Israeli civilian or soldier in Gaza, no operation or incursion, when rocket attacks began and are still being carried out daily on Israeli towns for the last 18 months. Fact: There was not a single Israeli in Gaza, not a one, when Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed and abducted from Israeli soil by Palestinians from Gaza. Fact: There is a 20% Arab population within Israel's green line enjoying full citizenship, representation in parliament and cabinet, autonomous local municipalities, healthcare etc. Fact: Palestinians demand total ethnic cleansing of Jews in Gaza and West Bank. Fact: Over 1,000 Israeli civilians (within green line) were murdered in suicide bombings by Palestinian Arabs in two years following Camp David in 2000—where Palestinians were presented with the prospect of independence in Gaza and West Bank by Israel. Fact: Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Quran (Mecca and Medina being Muslim holy cities); it is iterated over 700 times in the Old Testament while Jews pray facing the direction of Jerusalem all over the world. Fact: The Al-Aksa Mosque was built in 700 A.C. in the very midst of what had been the holiest site for Jews since 970 B.C.—the Holy Temple—of which the Western Wall still marks the holiest Jewish site to this day. Fact: There are 22 Arab countries. Syria alone, for example, is 10 times bigger than Israel.
5. Livn is a second rate political hack with zero for brains.
Al   (02.11.07)
She cant do dip for Israel so she blabbers about world anti-semitism to over paid Jewish politicos like Malcolm Hoenlein and Company. Honey, Israel, the only place in the world where Jews have an army..is under constant attack. You have an army...use it or get the hell out of the way... Go home you are an idiot.

wining & wining about how we are persecuted & will always be persecuted so give us some money; Well i am a jew, a damn proud one too, but i am not a zionist and not an israeli, and i can say it loud & clear, the only thing fueling jew hate around the world is Israel, a stolen state with a shameful very short history and a coward people with nothing in common, so either suck it up israelis & stop wining cause u r the main cause of the violence around you, or give it up and go back each to where he originally came from As for us, non israeli jews, we will bravely face the violence mistakenly directed upon us because of you, israelis. Hehe i wont be surprised if someone will call me in the replies an antisemitic, a jewish antisemitic, that will be a first

12. Foreign Misery
happysettler ,   Ofra   (02.11.07)
I'm ashamed that this ugly fifth grade political hack has to represent my country abroad. However, I am content in the knowledge that this hack will be soon buried in the shitpile of olmertism - but we may as well be in outerspace because we have already entered the next galaxy as far as leadership goes. May the force be with us all!!!!!!!!!!!!
13. To AARON # 3 "The Greatest danger
The Digger ,   USA   (02.11.07)

14. What i do know #11
Freejay ,   Israel   (02.11.07)
There were no muslims before Mecca, idiot!!
15. All very nice
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (02.11.07)
"The war on antisemitism must be our top priority, something must be done, the danger is apathy, take the threat seriously." But what are you going to DO? Israel pays embassy staffs abroad to sit on their backsides and do nothing but reiterate the same hot air as we hear from Livne. The Arabs know how to spread propaganda, basically myths, lies and incitement, and how to persuade naive Western liberals to side with the "poor oppressed Palestinian people." The Israelis presume that everyone is as reasonable and civilized as themselves ("How can they be antisemitic when we're so nice?) and cannot see that the basic facts about Israel are misunderstood and misrepresented. Why not produce documentaries to be distributed among gentiles, not just to Diaspora Jews? Don't preach to the converted - you have to change the world's perception of us. Why are we afraid to mention all the terrible things that the Arabs do and plan to do? They have no qualms about accusing us of the most heinous crimes, of which we are innocent.
16. Current causes of Anti-semitism....
Adam Adamati ,   Israel   (02.11.07)
the corrupt and criminal-filled Israeli government, the corrupt and criminal-filled histadrut, the miserable, selfish nature of most Israelis, the rudeness and crudeness of Israelis travelling abroad... with skills learned here, the conning and conniving nature of Israelis doing business, here and outside. AND the millions donated from outside which do not DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY.
17. Hey Kareem! #11
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (02.11.07)
The only reason Mohammed told his followers of the new cult to pray towards Jerusalem was to get the Jews to convert! After they told him they wouldn't, he changed it to Mecca. It was only a political move! And it was Yitzhak - not Yishmael - who was taken to Mt. Moriah by Avraham!
18. #9, David, it's ironic
Roger ,   Jerusalem   (02.11.07)
that if another Jewish genocide began, but in the US this time, the State of Israel would welcome someone like you with open arms... even though you don't deserve it. Israel's existence and political policies are not the reason for anti-Semitism. Hatred of Jews has been going on since the beginning of the Common Era. Funny enough, this "short history" of Jews in Israel that you speak of is actually thousands of years long. Israel happens to be where Jews "originally came from". So I'm waiting for the day, #9, where self-hating Jews like you realize that you need Israel.
19. Livni Should Stop Moaning & Stand Up & Be Counted
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (02.11.07)
Livni is a disgrace. While she screams about the scourge of antisemitism, she cozies up to all manner of leaders seeking to destroy our homeland. While she can term her initiatives as 'diplomacy', our enemies see this as weakness and beyond. She panders to all the Arab dictators to whom she promises ! that Israel's mission ! is to implant a PA terror state in its midst. Therefore, her bemoaning the virus of antisemitism means less than squat. She and her Kadima gang have weakened us exponentially.
20. to #4, 11 & 14, you are booth relatively smart . lol
Simon Mohammed ,   Falls Church, VA USA   (02.11.07)
21. #15 did you know that Hitler plan was to kill all Arab also
Simon Mohammed ,   Simon Mohammed   (02.11.07)
After finishing with the jews. very Amazing how smart you are in locating the source of Antisemitism, all your calculation go wrong. and you are talking about a global war on Antisemitism, i don't think it is realistic as well to change the word view on the Jews people. How about changing the jews people view on the word and join your arab cousin to explain your self togother to the rest of the wrold.
22. 9: DAOUD, my brother!
yossef?, or yusef?   (02.11.07)
fear naught.
23. Swiss Cafe Conversation this week
semsem ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (02.11.07)
I was in a Geneva cafe this week. The man at the table next to me told another man ...the Jews are hated people. And they only stay among themselves. They have been hated ever since they left Egypt. Quite shocking to have heard this.
24. Freejay #14..and Chaya #17
Kareem ,   Egypt   (02.11.07)
Freejay...it just shows that u know nothing about Islam! How can there not be muslims b4 mecca when a Muslim Built it?!?! haha btw..when I say Mecca, i mean the Kaaba. #17..Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) didn't tell his followers to pray towards Jerusalem..it was God that ordered prayer to be towards Jerusalem...When the Kaaba was built, followers STILL prayed towards Jerusalem..yes..muslims didn't pray towards Mecca even just as it was built..it took years, till God ordered muslims to pray at the Kaaba, upon the wish of Prophet Mohammed.
25. seven times greater than a Muslim being harmed
(02.11.07)
that is why poor Israel alawys try to set the balance !
26. Livni now speaks like Bush
Elokim ,   Israel   (02.11.07)
It's amazing to hear the similarities between what Livni's so called speech and what the US president Bush says in his speeches on the fight against "global terror" or the "war on terror". It's just that she has change a few words...like "anti-semitism" and "holocaust" to make it geared towards Israel and jews! What she said was blah blah blah...I need to incite hate and fear like Bush to get people behind me. The more we use the "ANTI-SEMITISM" tag line the less people will believe this term!!!
27. again this brocken disc
(02.11.07)
anti-simitism is only in your imagination , it's your drugs which takes away from the truth like any one who takes drugs to forget what he is .... useing this word anti-simitism doesn't help but hurting you more and keeping you in this coma which you like to stay in it , you don't want to get up and face your self , you convienced even your new generations with it that anyone against you is an anti-simitic and nothing is wrong with you but the others ... wake up and change your self because most of the world if they don't hate you so they don't like you or at least don't agree with you anymore and it can not be that most of the world are anti-smintics.
28. Best thing you can do for the galut is to SAFEGUARD ISRAEL
Zvi ,   USA   (02.12.07)
While Israel is strong and is respected around the world, Jews are respected around the world, and even when there is hatred there is also support. When Israel is weak, the hatred does not go away. The haters are encouraged. And those who would otherwise express respect and solidarity with Jews around the world don't do so. Safeguard Israel. That is your first responsibility.
29. Simon Muhamad and Kareen the Egyptian
SAM ,   USA   (02.12.07)
Kareem, you idiot. Islam did not come about until centuries after the JEWISH city of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. Read a book, not your propaganda. This is world history, idiot. It was Issac, you numbscull, that Abraham took to the alter to sacrifice. I would guess if you actually read the Koran you would know that. I have not read the Koran, but it is certain the Koran would not lie that it was Ishmail. God told Abraham not to worry about Ishmail because God would take care of him. READ YOUR KORAN YOU INFIDEL!!!! YOU EATER OF PIG"S FLESH!!! and Simon. Yes, your ancesters should have accepted Jews as Arabs. There would not be a problem now if the Arab would have recognized the Jew as a human being. Imagine what a secular Palistine encompassing today's Jordan, Israel and the terriroies would be like. It would have been magnificent and the prize jewel in the middle east. Look at the Arab for creating the problem. Not the Jews. Jews just reacted to the oppression they experienced for centuries. But I generally agree that if Jews were accepted by Arabs it would have changed history and the problems we have today.
30. Jews are best Pr's in world
Advertisement ,   L.A.   (02.12.07)
Maybe we should help our american buddies image than it will reflect on us in a positive light because most the world feels that the U.S. is run by the jews.
