severly disturbed reasoning and a total miscomprehension of facts. (Antisemites often suffer from the same symptoms.)

on what exactly. Very little except a dangerous belief in a strange god and a stranger guy who lives down a well.

Iran, is taking care of you

Let's face it, folks. If Israel is 'for Jews'; if it is land 'promised' to Jews (the evidence being a 3000 year old fable), then one must conclude that Israel is a racist nation in the strictest definition of the term because 'for Jews' means the same thing as 'not for non-Jews.'. Thing is this though. The Jews will never find true peace until they abandon two things: That Israel is for jews only, and that Jews are 'God's Chosen." Seriously, how is it you can even begin to imagine that the rest of the world will tolerate this arrogance for any length of time; and it will all begin to unravel once again with the first American politician to say no to pro-Israel campaign funds.

"we hate israel because it is...uh...racist...thats right. i know this may sound a bit forced....kind of a bit late in the game to bring in an explanation, i know...but, yeah, we thought about it a lot and we realize why we hate israel. its racist. its not because we have a crazy leader who holds this crazy ideology about end times and some returning prophet, and its not because of the typical reason, that we have to distract our public because our economy sucks and everybody in our country wonders why we, with millions of barrels of oil, can't keep inflation down, while israel, surrounded by hostile countries still has economic growth and international investment. no, i just wanted you to know its because israel is...uh....what was that reason again? oh yeah, its a racist country and for some reason we are the ones who have to take it down. right? right."

What is iran based on? Larijani, you have a racist islamic society that mistreats your christian, zoastrian, bahai,jewish and persian people. So who are you to talk.Your King Cyrus dealt with the state of israel for years before this bullcrap notion of palstinian people that never existed. Admit it, there never was a palestinian people. So it is you who is legitimate and don't worry. The persian people will overthrow the illegal amhmoud regime and restore proper persian control.

The Iranian regime must be stopped now before they make good on their promise!!!!

I really hate even wasting my time with people like you, but somebody has to set you straight. First of all, Israel is 20% Arab. Not only that, but anybody can become a citizen of Israel except they would have to go through a process, whereas Jews are automatically given citizenship, which is no different from any other country determining who can and can't automatically become a citizen. And why shouldn't the world tolerate one Jewish state when it seems to have no problem tolerating 22 Muslims ones...some of which are among the most racist countries on earth?

What's really unbelievable is that somebody living in Canada, and presumably not being brainwashed by mullahs and other religious fanatics can actually believe the crap you wrote.

I seriously doubt people of the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Confucist, Daoist faiths care if the Jews consider themselves to have been chosen to receive the laws of a god they don't believe in. Only Christians and Muslims complain of this. And are you to lecture us on arrogance? Those two religions are responsible for the loss of hundreds of millions of innocent lives of people who refused to be "saved".

Well I'm sorry guys, but during the past years, Israelis have really shown their true colors. I guess that I'm not anti Israel at this point of my life, but certainly no longer pro Israel. Especially the internet showed me that really upsetting and blatantly racist ideas are not merely supported by a tiny segment of Israeli society, but that it's the reverse and moderate views are shared by a tiny segment. Just be honest and review the talkbacks on Israeli websites. Often, they resemble those that can be found on stromfront.

Is Israel really racist? A person from any race can become a Jew, so what is racist about that. In fact Israel, like America, is a mix of people of all races.

Israel is racially diversed, much more so than most other countries. Jews of all ethnicities, Arabs, Druze. And they all have equal rights, unlike 100% of Arab states and Iran, land of the Aryans. Cant take the truth? As for Chosen people. We are chosen to follow the law. Can you live up to the law? Can you make life better for other people? I doubt it.

How abot the Arab Republic of Egypt or Arab Republic of Syria. Try to go to Mecca if you are not a Muslim.

Dee @ Tel Aviv. You are grossly uninformed / ignorant. There is NO such thing as (genetic) “equality”. There is NO such thing as the (one) human race. The genus homo is divided into several sub-species, namely races. If each and every different race were part of one so-called “human race” ; then a person one specific race (say black) would have been able to bring forth children of another race (say white), which is NOT the case. Races can also be seen as different and unique genetic identities, which do not “mutate” by themselves. Furhtermore, Dee, the Jews are represented by MANY races (many genetic identities), and even mixtures of many races. So, please make sure you have your facts correct next time. Thank you.

You are calling yourself “ragged soul”. Unless you CORRECTLY understand what ‘soul’ implies, what ‘soul’ is, what the position of the ‘soul’ is, where the ‘soul’ comes from -- you will NOT understand what “true peace” means. And THUS, in light of the above, your statement “Jews will never find true peace” is a HOLLOW phrase. BTW unless you educate yourself about ‘soul’, unless educate yourself about ‘God’ -- your statements about Israel, God, true peace, will REMAIN shallow and of NO use !! No value WHATSOEVER !!

as they come in all shades of colour and size.Black Jews,Chinese Jews,Indian Jews etc.Only Hitler believed in a jewish race.

hey Terry,get educated! Jews race doesn't exist,Jew ism is a religion and is free to exercise for anyone anywhere in the World who mean it and believe

Wow, I'm amazed how ignorant you are about biology. The different "races" we speak of in common parlance are not subspecies. Your reasoning about people of one race being unable to produce children of another is simply incorrect - relations between people of different races (common-parlance term again) routinely produce this. Humans are all of one species, and the different races are neither strict categories nor subspecies. Perhaps you should educate youself further on this topic before presuming to lecture others.

And it is unacceptable by western values (racist, perhaps) to have people of Jewish descent or conversion to have that free offer of citizenship available, and radically out-of-line with anything offered by most other nations (China and India probably have the closest laws on this regard, and we might find that problematic with them as well - none of the ugliness in Israel is unique to Israel, these all being very human failings). While we find Israel ugly in some particulars, we find many of those muslim countries much uglier in those particulars as well, and are more than willing to offer them criticism where and when it is merited. That's no reason to not criticise Israel (or America, or Britain, or ...) as merited.

and iran is based on opression, crimes against humanity, crimes against individuality, etc...

this article is stating wrong informations - in its speech in farsi larijani never talks about the jews but only about the zionists - in fact the zionists and specially the aipac which its members have never been to israel decides over the faith of the people living there - unfortunately the sorow of the shoah has vanished in the collective mind due to the overexagerated zionist lobbyism and that against the jewish people's interest - israeli people should focus on other values than the ones imposed by those powerful lobbies who are only seeking their own material interests - do you really believe that someone having an adult lifespan of lets say 50 years really cares about the world's outcome in 100 years over his bank account? the real problem is not based on religions - all these conflicts are created to keep the population, that is to say you and me busy fighting each other, while the higher spheres have the time to fill up their pockets - at the end we only spend time trying to hate each other - i think it is time to see beyond the horizon and the images they feed us with- im not a religious person at all but i think most people here are (im just guessing it) so if it is god's given earth, why should there be countries at all - think about how our governments want to make sure we dont go outside the circle they have created for us - there is one choice to make in life, either to live on your knees or to die standing. please people wake up - dont make the easy choice peace

It accepts only 2,300 citizens among 30,000 inhabitants, and seldom grants citizenship, based on wealth. Many iranian religious pundits dream of becoming monegasque.

You say :” I’m not religious ... but if it is God given Earth, why should there be countries at all ..”. Niels, you have, knowingly or unknowingly, stumbled upon a point of TREMENDOUS importance. ALL the living entities, living on planet Earth, are equally the sons of God -- and there is ONLY one planet Earth. THE following question can be raised : then WHY should there be war on planet Earth ??

# 53 (P @ Philadelphia) No, P. I am afraid you are the ignorant one. You are being irrelevant. You are referring to hybridization, namely where a male and a female (each of a different race) produce offspring of mixed origin. I put it to you that (for example) two black parents do not produce an European child ; and two white parents do not produce African children. Yes, Homo Sapiens Sapiens is one species. But this does not mean that each race (each, which is a different sub-species) are “the same” or “equal”. There is no such thing as “equality”. The mere fact that inter-procreation is possible between all races is no “proof” that they are of the same identity. Even different species (like the Lion and the Tiger) can inter-procreate to produce the Liger. And Ligers are not Lions, neither Tigers.
