and Israelis hate to love, Is this New ???
32. KEEP LYING TO YOURSELF #28
(07.23.08)
YOU FOOL> The jew immigrated to PALESTINE. in the mid 20th century. because they were kicked out of Europe, granted, but THAT IS THE TRUTH. their was a sprinkling a quiet jews living alongside peacefully with the ARABS. the ARABS HAD BEEN THEIR FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
33. The Arabs control the US government. Its a fact
David ,   Boston, USA   (07.23.08)
US government allows Saudi Gammorah to get away with so many things. Egypt is in violation of its peace agreement with the Israel and US still pays Egypt. PA ignores agreements with Israel and US gives them more money. Arab governments in WTO are boycotting Israel, illegal when you are a member. US does nothing. Its the Arabs who are controlling, not Israel or Jews. Time to stop appeasing Arab hatred and start inforcing same laws and standards to them.

Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.23.08)
The theory is that cultures borrow elements from other cultures that somehow "fit" into their own culture, disgarding those that are in conflict with basic values. Interpret that how you like, but that's the anthropological theory, often called "cultural diffusion" .....
37. # 21/22 What about the New Yorker cover?
Bill ,   US   (07.23.08)
Ok first of all the New Yorker is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a Christian, not a member of the evil cabal. Secondly, the cover was meant to satirize right wingers who claim Obama is an undercover Muslim. "USA IS aware of the jews and how they work as a group. " Uh huh. Sorry the average American really isn't as racist as the average arab who believes Jews operate like a bee colony.
38. # 11 Why Would You Want to Live in One State?
Thomas   (07.23.08)
I would presume in your one state fantasy that Arab Muslims and Jews would live as equals. Is there a historical case for this? When Muslims become the majority will Jews lose their rights as was the case when Algeria became independent and will the Jewish population have to pay a "protection tax"? Will the Jews have no rights to have a Muslim tried in court if a Muslim wrongs him? I know the answers to this so let's stick with the two-state plan for peace and justice's sake. That your state is destined to fail shouldn't be a problem for Israelis to solve.
39. "Sprinkling of Jews" formed majority in Jerusalem in 1860
Jake   (07.23.08)
and were the largest single group in Jerusalem in 1840. A recent study of Arab towns in the Galilee which was initially intended to investigate whether the residents were descended from Islamized/Arabized Jews, uncovered an interesting conclusion: that the towns had been Jewish from time immemorial, and that the Arabs settled in those towns in many cases only about 300 years ago, putting pressure on the Jews and forcing them to leave.
40. Jews are only 0.02% of the worlds population and voter pool
B~   (07.23.08)
....apparently the rest of the voters don't like the extremest Arab attitude either.
41. Arab Slurs
(07.23.08)
The aspersions from Arab media are just as anti-black as they are anti-Jewish. Do Arabs really think they're going to win Obama's affection by depicting him in such a negative, racist way?

43. Arab cartoons
Ryan ,   Brussels   (07.23.08)
To Terry As I believe you know very well, Murdoch is a jew.He is known for his life-long devotion to Israel. He also will never let go an occasion to slander Germany and the Germans.
44. # 29 You Live in TA but have a UK email address

Go figure.
45. # 28
(07.23.08)
The Jew migrated in the mid nineteenth century. Alot of Arabs migrated into the area during British and Zionist development. Nobody is a fool for not believing something unproven. Only Arabs says Jews lived peacefully with Arabs for the most part. It's sounds alot like the racist southeners in the US during the 50's who said the blacks were happy until the civil rights workers showed up.
46. #32 - You can't lie to me...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (07.23.08)
You can't lie to me, habibi, my parents and grandparents were ethnically cleansed from Aleppo in 1947. Our history in that city was over 2500 years old. Far from living in peace with Muslims, we were second-class citizens, forced to pay jizya (which essentially is protection money) for the "privilege" of following the faith of our ancestors. There are many, many more abuses that my ancestors endured under Muslim barbarism, but, for the sake of brevity, I will not go into them in this TB. You also fail to wrap your head around the concept that the only reason Jews were forced to immigrate to Europe in the first place was because they were ethnically cleansed from their homeland when the Romans renamed Judea Palestine after they occupied it. "Palestine" itself is a concept that was born out of the illegal, immoral, and inhumane occupation of Judea and the ethnic cleansing of the Southern Levant's original inhabitants- the Jews. Palestine, under any shade of the imagination, is itself occupation. You also fail to understand that the majority of "Palestinians" are descended from Syrians and Egyptians who illegally immigrated to the British Mandate after 1900 because of the thriving Jewish citrus industry. Why else did the UNRWA define a "Palestinian" as any Arab that had lived in the British Mandate for only 2 years? This was to maximize the number of people the Arab League could coop up in concentration camps like chickens. If you're looking for somebody to blame for the Arab refugee problem, I suggest you start looking in the mirror, habibi...
47. two questions:
news observer   (07.24.08)
1. Why not present arguments to PROVE that there is no such conspiracy as Jews controlling US gov. 2. Why these cartoons are not considered Free Speech expression, as any cartoon that targets other groups?
48. joe ramat gan
(07.24.08)
go F yourself in a big way. LYING BIGOT.
49. QUESTION To Arab Newspapers.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (07.24.08)
Quote :"Their aim is not to provoke discussion or challenge ideas, but to spread horrific stereotypes of Jews. Some cartoons also use classical racist stereotypes to portray Senator Obama". QUESTION to the West Bank Arab newspapers and newspapers in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain : how will instilling hatred against Jews provoke your Arab readers into discussing or challenging ideas ??? THE duty of newspapers is bring out the good QUALITIES in man -- spreading hatred against Jews, or racism against Senator Obama will NOT accomplish that !!! BTW hatred destroys brain-cells. And thus the Arab newspapers SHOULD know that due to their policy their Arab readers are becoming more and more STUPID.

Yaron ,   USA   (07.23.08)
Your ignorance and outward hatred are pouring out of you unimpeded. If you had any idea of history, your posts would have a semblance of substance. Your ignorance and hatred however will NEVER allow you to begin to articulate the issues. Bury your head back in the sand and put Jerry Springer back on! Why don't you sign your post too, coward!
51. Time for the Jews...
Jew   (07.24.08)
to delcare their own edicts on people like #15, supporters of terror and hate. we have had enough of your stupid, racist comments. time to take back the occupied land, and for foreigners like the whties in the UK and Australia to start packing their bags.
52. to the Jew haters out there...
Jew   (07.24.08)
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1365 read something that isn't published by your reverend wright buddies and other aryan nation pals. you people are sick and truly a pile of trash. stop pinning the world's ills on the Jews. Look at the price of oil. who controls oil. Huh???? look at the middle east dummies...is that the Jews or the arabs who control the oil. Uhhhhhh...is it the Jews or the moslems????? uhhhhh....hmmm.. perhaps farakkkhan should join his skinhead pals and cook up some pork bbq. have a party.
53. Im not fooled
Golani   (07.24.08)
Ive been through these conspiracies-all of them.Not one proves any facts at all ,yet the stupid of the world believe it because of leaders who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and blame us.I quickly point to human history in the last two thousand years and the pattern that is plain for all to see.No ,not on my watch on this world, is a holocaust against us will happen again because some tinpot dictator that cant handle his country or his citizens.

palestinian refugee   (07.24.08)
in one state everyone share same rights and obligations. minorities should have the same rights as majorities just like in the USA and canada and many other countries. your majority minority examples are happening now in israel. arabs can not build new homes and can not return to their towns and cities isn't this aparthide? if you denounce that majority control minority how about the very system you're living in now. in a one state religion is only for marriage, death divorce and the like. the two states will never work because israel will never be pure jewish and palestinians will never give up their right to return home just like jews who were dreaming to go to palestine for thousands of years. in a two state there won't be yehuda and samaria and no more united jerusalem so what remains then from the jewish history or you think palestinian will agree with the bantustan type two state so you can keep the west bank and jerusalem. sooner or later we'll find ourselves living in one state and I think this will keep the jewish dream of living in the holyland and the palestinians to return and live in their homes.
55. Cartoons for uneducated retards
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (07.24.08)
It's so very sad that so many (or most) Arabs and Muslims cater to such lies and expect to be trusted to have peace. It's a real tragedy to see nearly a whole civilization waste itself and stoop to such lowly standards. Their religious traditions have not really helped them see the light and be smart about life. By believing such lies and hatred they are their own worst enemies. The more they defame Jews the more they establish themselves as racists to the world. What a sad bunch.
56. Free speach
kuba ,   USA   (07.24.08)
when Jews cartoon Arabs and their religion,when Arabs(and for that matter all gentiles) say what is true about Zionists and Jews in cartoons suddenly it is antisemitism and not any more democratic free speech. Give me a break,enough! and enough! is enough!. People in the World see you Zionists are the worse hypocrites and you Jews looks like you are your own worst enemies. Stop winning to the World about everything and start to live like civilized piceful neighboring society.
57. # 54
Thomas   (07.24.08)
None of the examples you cite of societies which employ equal rights are Muslim countries. If we were to agree to a one-state solution the Muslims will be quick to implement Sharia law, even via democracy. There's not a single Muslim government that tries to be secular that doesn't have to fight the ever popular form of radical Islam. For the Jews to seek a one-state solution is for them to agree to wanting to an inferior existence. Muslim laws = apartheid for non-Muslims. Israel clearly doesn't seek to be purely Jewish. During Israel's occupation of the West Bank more mosques were built than during the Jordanian occupation. Israel's Arab population isn't allowed to build new homes? I just read Israel is building them a new city. They have full voting rights and benefits the Jewish citizens receive while not having to equally serve the state that provides for them. As for Judea and Samaria, that's over. Israel gave up on that territory. Even if they united those territories again, Jews could never go there. They can't go there now without a military escort. In respect to united Jerusalem, it's united now. It's free for everyone. Under Muslim rule, Jews would need permission from the Muslims to visit our holy sites. The Wakf in Jerusalem admitted this. You can keep dreaming while we remember you never became refugees until you started a war you thought you could finish.
58. To #14 & #27
Asem ,   ME   (07.24.08)
This is called "Stereo Types". It is used because it is easy and confirms people's beliefs. The same way an Arab is depicted as wearing a turban and riding camels with an oil barrels around him in western media. While you know it is not true.
59. Come on. There are much worse antisemitic cartoons published
s   (07.24.08)
than these. Except a few I frown my eyebrows trying to get what's antisemitic about them. ADL be a watch dog against antisemitism not a watch dog against antiobama, or antimccain or antiisrael.
60. # 58
(07.24.08)
You're correct but I think it's funny that the Arabs would use stereotypes they happen to share with us. It would be like a Jew making fun of Arabs for wearing "funny hats".
