1. Nazi Germany?
joseph ,   israel   (01.23.08)
President Abbas received a PhD proving that there was no Holocaust, How can they compare Israel to something that did not exist?
2. Arab "newspapers"
(01.23.08)
so, what else is new....
3. compare hamas with..
YA ,   UK   (01.23.08)
Brotherhood Of The Ring!! Shining nobless. If seriously - it looks like the beginnig of the end of hamas. Their strongest side was always control of population. Now it is down. Even hamas soldiers are talking about "freedom". Maybe it was the fall of Berlin Wall in the Middle East? It seems likely, sometimes people just decide, enough, life must change. One thing is cear, Israelis should enforce Egyptian border - along with new life and freedom bla bla, there is no doubt, new terrorist bases will spread over Sinai. But in long run, open border with Egypt is good thing - it will dilute Gazans' desperation and savagery, the only things they knew under terrorist rule.
4. YOU ARABS BETTER LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joel ,   Eretz   (01.23.08)
Ah that is palestinian hoax .
5. very true!
papa jay   (01.24.08)
Israel wants all Arab inhabitants of the land that was called Palestine to disappear. Why? Because they don’t belong here according to the Israel’s God. What God would order his people to create a home land for the Jews by any means necessary? And they say Islam is the barbaric religion!!! Israel will do everything in its power with in reason to make these people leave. Less Arabs means more land for Jews. They are Nazi, lest the concentration camps. But maybe that’s because they haven’t gotten to that option yet.
6. A candlelit dinner, how romantic.
Cynic ,   USA   (01.24.08)
7. Arab media should be ashamed
Brod ,   USA   (01.24.08)
What do they expect? Do the Arab Islamist-Jihadists expect they will not be punished for their barrage of unrelenting rocket attacks at Israel? If so, they must be the worst fools of all time. The fact is they are the scoundrels in the Middle East since their emergence from the Abyss of the Arabian Desert in the 7th century. It is time they feel the heat in their own frying pan which they created.
8. Hamas is building$200M Pallywood Studio for Propaganda Films
Alan ,   SA   (01.24.08)
9. Hamas' next step
Zoli ,   Budapest, Hungary   (01.24.08)
will be to breach the Israeli border with hundreds of thousands of mixed unarmed and armed people. The Rafah breach was the dress rehearsal for that. Are Olmert and Barak prepared for Hamas' logical next step?
10. Nazi israel
bacrach andres ,   kfar saba   (01.24.08)
The arab muslem propaganda suffered a big setback,by complaining openly about the atrocities caused by the disconnection of the electricity,benzin and gas services what was rendered till now to the Gaza residents by Israel,becouse I am sure that the majority of the gazan's didn't even know about that reality. Andi mi ha kfar.
11. an anti israeli cartoon in arab media? UNHEARD OF!
(01.24.08)
seriously tho, these cartoons are just a drop in the water. just go the ADL site in the "press" section to see just a handful of examples.
12. Portrayal in the Media
Trevor ,   Truckee US   (01.24.08)
I have already read through five articles and skimmed another five to try to find an unbiased report...Reuters, BBC, Times (which was the worst), have all been conducting a smear campaign. In most of these articles, I do not even see mention of Israel's side. In several, there is not even mention of the rocket attacks. It is all about the "plight" of the Palestinians. It is really sad that I cannot find an honest portrayal anywhere inthe media.
13. the lack of knowledge of history will be their undoing
jack bauer   (01.24.08)
arabs seem convieniently to forget which side they were on during the war against the nazis. They like to call jews nazis, but only because they know its one of the worst insults for a jews to take. The facts are that arabs supported the nazi cause. They had their mufti living in berlin, partners in crime with HITLER, the biggest nazi on earth. They knew about the concentration camps, the death camps, the theft, rape, murder, exile, etc. Not only that , but they actively supported it by creating islamic SS divisions made up of albanians, bosnians, and other moslems the truth hurts, but it hurts the islamonazis most of all
14. COME ON? WHAT DO EXPECT FROM THESE DELUSIONALS?
Scott   (01.24.08)
I dont why anybody bothers with these people. I mean, even if you did actually believe that Israel was acting inappropriately - there's a limit to which a reasonable person can take. The pals and arab friends exceed that limit on regular basis. Its not possible for anyone to really know whether there could be any truth in anything these crazy people say about the Israelis. They are so totally full-on obsessed with Jews and Israel. Unfortunately there is no answer for these people , they non-negotiable - I think they'll make a big mistake at some point , under estimate the Israeli reaction and all end up dead. No winners , just dead people all around. Its coming.
15. Babies ligting candle, hamas candle lite...No it dosent work
ben shlomo ,   singapore   (01.24.08)
THis 2008, such PR tactic dosent work anymore ! WE BLAME HAMAS _ KALID MASHAAL and HANIYEH for these SELF- CREATED so called HUMANITARIAN CRISIS- by the KURAFAT TERRORIST ! This is similar to the 9/11. Osama Laden launh plane into US and blame the world for jewish conspiracy.NO SUCH PR TACTIC DOSENT WORK ANYMORE. THE EXTREMIST ISLAMIST HAVE NO REPUTATION and ARE PRACTISING KURAFAT ISLAM !
16. Sorry to disagree with all of you.
TCP ,   Melbourne Australia   (01.24.08)
but I see there point. I am a product of a liberal catholic education here in Melbourne. When in school most of our reading syllabus was to do with the persecution suffered by the Jewish peoples of Europe during the Nazi era . That is of concentration camps, exterminations, expulsions, and ghettos (especially of the warsaw ghetto). Back then I wondered how the world would let such things happen. I now understand how things like that happened. Sad... and it's a shame.
17. How about some REAL photos from WWII of the Mufti
Jake   (01.24.08)
having a heart-to-heart with Hitler, Himmler, and other high ranking Nazi officials, in additions to him inspecting the troops of SS Divisions that he himself created. It's always better to go straight to the raw footage, don't you think?
18. What does Nazi mean to an Arab?
josef cohen ,   herzliya il   (01.24.08)
Irony is something they clearly do not get. Generally the Arab world is very sympathetic to the Nazis. Arab States routinely dismiss the excesses of the Nazis, deny/justify the holocaust and portray the Nazis, Germans, Europeans as the victims of Jews and of course now they are the modern day victims of Jews. The Arab States first republican experiences upon independence were mostly Fascist governments, even naming themselves National Socialist movements, Nasser's Party, the Baath party et al. Arab States first acts upon independence were characterised by persecution of Jews, confiscation of property, removal from civil services, the Judiciary... This all seems a familiar scenario, where else did this happen? Oh yeah Nazi Germany! Many Arab States commonly gave safe harbour to Nazi war criminals. Arab State's media exceeds the worst excesses of Nazi propaganda in vulgarity and their portrayal of Jews. Accusations of consuming blood, legitimising the worst conspiracy theories Zionist Protocols, undermining morals, agents of Satan (literally not metaphorically). So in the end I am left wondering what it means in the Arab psychology to call someone a Nazi.
19. Replace the Magen David with a green-backed Shahada...
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.24.08)
... and the concentration camp sketch will more accurately represent reality in Gaza. BTW, why is this even news? Mental m*****bation material like this comes out all the time in the Arab world; precisely from the same sources that deny the Holocaust ever happened! What makes this instance of incitement so special?
20. #7 - Brod, when it comes to Arab media...
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.24.08)
Brod, when it comes to Arab media, the joke is really on them. Anybody who slept through half of a course in Critical Thinking could poke holes in the accusations and lies they propogate. After all, isn't this the same media that: a) says that the Holocaust never happened; b) says that the Holocaust was just the beginning and that Israel should prepare for the 'real' Holocaust; and c) says that Israel is perpetrating a "Holocaust against the Palestinians"? I mean, puh-leeze, anybody who believes that Arab press serves any purpose other than incitement to genocide needs to get their head examined...
21. Egypt's problem now
Yessir Ibn Badkarma ,   Kanwait   (01.24.08)
Egypt is where the Gazans came from and Egypt is where they belong. They're just going home.
22. Amazing..
Micha   (01.24.08)
the pig known as haniyyyeeh is still breathing. he tortures his own people and they lap up his propaganda like the idiots they are. Is anyone educated amongst the arab world or are they all just misogynistic, narrow minded, neanderthals (no offense to neanderthals...)
23. To #9
D.C. ,   Budapest, Hungary   (01.24.08)
Zoli. Jews are digging their own graves in Israel, just as they're doing here in Hungary. They're creating their enemies. They always did.
24. ZioNazi Morons
Blame Herzel ,   ZioNaziStan   (01.24.08)
Never learn. 100 years of savagery, and it is still no victory over a largely unarmed population.
25. Uncanny similarities
B ,   israel   (01.24.08)
in the collective punishment approach
26. to #5 If we do set up camps
jason white ,   afula,israel   (01.24.08)
you get the first shower. by the way abujay,where do you live?
27. I am seriously trying to think of
meg ,   Israel   (01.24.08)
any country on this planet that would supply those that try to kill them. If Hamas cared about their people, they would stop the daily rocket barrage on Israeli civilians. Would that dimminish their power over the masses. Hananya, you try being little tzar, just look it up... what happens when people are hungry!
28. #17 REAL photos
Invicta ,   Europa   (01.24.08)
How about throwing in some photos of the Sonderkommando and the Kapos. Go straight to the raw footage, don't you think?
