1. Legitimizing terror
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, CA USA   (04.13.07)
How convenient to forget that Gilad Shalit was a terrorist. He was firing on unarmed civilian targets in his tank for political purposes. Dictionary definition: terrorism -- harming or threatening harm to noncombatant civilians for a political purpose. That immediately makes the people who captured him freedom fighters, or to put it another way, an anti-terrorism group. Look at the list of the Palestinian dead in the last year. Most are civilians. The Israeli army and Air Force are terrorist organizations. They sow terror among civilians. So if you can't get it through your heads that the IDF and IAF are terrorist organizations, you can't see that Hamas, Al Aqsa Brigades, DFLP, PFLP, PRC, Nasser Salahuddin Brigades, etc., are merely anti-terrorist organizations. That's how this Jew sees them, and guess what -- I'm not a self-hating Jew in the slightest.

Doesn't anyone watch Bauer over there? You negotiate and then liquidate the whole group.

Yaakov ,   USA   (04.13.07)

5. 1 Jerrold... Ding dong... Reality check.
freedom ,   canada   (04.13.07)
Are you really from the USA??????
6. Wake up Yaakov
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, CA USA   (04.13.07)
Wake up Yaakov. I am not anti-Semitic. I am anti-barbaric and anti-terrorism. When Israeli soldiers, navymen, settlers and pilots stop carrying out barbaric acts against Palestinians I'll be clapping my hands for Israel.
7. Some think that signing with a Jewish name

9. No 1
Sylvie Cohen T. Aviv ,   Dolphinarium Beach   (04.13.07)
Their aim is Tel Aviv, yanky doodle. Will you be here with us at the last bus stop left in Ramat Aviv ,before they gun us down there, too? Of course not, you'll be with them, celebrating and handing out candies. Do join the line for pizza at S'barro first, though.
10. legitimize terror
bob ,   South central PA   (04.13.07)
Why doesn't sdomeone just go out and capture 1,400 more Palestinians and then trade them back for Gilad Shalit? May not be as much of a DUH as you think!
11. #8 Fatima - I remember your other posts
(04.13.07)
They were funny. Why not talk about your family instead.
12. How to this stop this madness...
akiva   (04.14.07)
... perhaps olmert and peretz should be reminded that they could be served the PULSA DENOURA...
13. Jerrold Cohen, change your name!
Daniel ,   Columbia, USA   (04.14.07)
Since you are of the mind that you are not a self-hating Jew, care to define what that term means, then? Personally, I think you're right. Since you clearly have no ostensible connection to Israel, and Jews have an awareness of the centrality of Israel in their lives, this clearly shows that you are neither a self-hater, nor a Jew. Please change your name to something more akin to your true nature, like Jerrold Smith or Yusuf Al-Aqsa.
