61. # 43 Murdoch
(07.24.08)
Murdoch was made a Grand-Officer in the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope John Paul II. Is the Order of St. Gregory a Jewish organization?
62. To #58
Asem ,   ME   (07.24.08)
Well unfortunately it is a natural human behaviour (our tendency to generalize makes life easier). But it can be changed by education and exchange between cultures (Peacful exhchange :-)). When an Arab deals with a Jew in normal circumstance he will find that Jews are not bad. And when a Jew deals with an Arab in a normal circumstances he will find that Arabs are not stupid. We are all human after all don’t you agree?
63. Ignore the abject condemnation of Jew haters...
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (07.24.08)
I agree wholeheartedly. Well said. Check out the natural disasters occurring in many anti-semitic countries, including America. Hurricane Katrina followed Annapolis! I, too, say to ignore these insane rantings and ravings and STOP giving them free press.
64. IF ONE CAN'T GENERALIZE>..
USA   (07.24.08)
Then what is the JEWISH VOTE all about.??????????????? the jewish VOTE is a generaliziation in its self. and its one of the things OBAMA and MCCAIN are fighting about right now. and we all know most jews want. WAR against the Iranian and Iraq at the EXPENSE OF THE USA.
65. #48 - Let me quote Muhammad...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (07.24.08)
"Truth has come and falsehood has vanished- verily falsehood is a vanishing thing" The very fact that you are unable to refute the assertions I make by using logic and historical fact and are instead reduced to hurling insults hurts your cause. Go ahead, habibi, vanish away into thin air. Reject logic and historical fact. Act like an ostrich and hide your head in the sand because the delusions your fathers believed in are being unmasked before your very eyes.
66. 63---LOLOL
(07.24.08)
you must be one of the bible thumper crazy ladies. I say check out the disaster that is welfared ISAREL. lol
67. #47 - Answers to your questions...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (07.24.08)
1. One could turn the argument around and ask for proof that it isn't Muslims, Bahais, or Hindus who are controlling the US government. Asking for direct, irrefutable proof that any of the above assertions are incorrect is impossible because there is always evidence hiding somewhere out there that can disprove what all other pieces of evidence lead a person to believe. Nevertheless, there is a way of working our way out of this logical predicament. When a person says, for example, "A is true", it is up to the person asserting that A is true to prove, beyond all reasonable doubt, that A is true. If, however, there are flaws in the person's arguments leading him to state that A is true, we can say with relative certainty that A is not true. In this vein, many, many arguments have been presented that disprove the arguments proposing that Jews control the US government. If you believe that Jews do control the US government, there is no solid logical basis for this belief. 2. In functional democracies that provide for freedom of speech, this freedom of speech does not protect libel and or slander. Libel and or slander refer to the disseminating of false information for the express purpose of defaming a person's or group's public image. These cartoons are both libelous and slanderous because they assert things that simply aren't true for the express purpose of demonizing the Jewish people. I hope I've answered your questions to your satisfaction...

Jane   (07.24.08)
Look in a dictionary for the term "anti-semitism". It is specific to anti-Jewish hatred.
69. Joe #46
Jane   (07.24.08)
Joe, your response is one of the most well-written, accurate and, for me, gratifying I have ever seen on the subject - on this or any other website. Kol Hakavod.
70. To #48. A SHAMELESS Person.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (07.25.08)
READING your tb at hand -- is that how you guys discuss ideas in your community ??? You are a SHAMELESS person. That's why you felt SHAMEFUL to mention your name in your tbs. BTW when defeated in arguments -- learn to appreciate the opponent. Because that's how a gentleman behaves.
71. # 63, 70% of Gaza is on Welfare
Bill ,   US   (07.25.08)
The so-called Palestinians are treated to more help from NGOs than all of Africa and Asia put together. Look it up for yourself. The only aid Israel receives is from the US and it's a tiny fraction of the overall Israeli economy. Laugh away now skippy.
72. #69 - Jane, Standing up for ourselves...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (07.25.08)
Standing up for ourselves is as easy as telling the truth. Thank you for your kind words...
73. Wait, you mean Arabs hate us? But we gave them Gaza!
Yonatan ,   Los Angeles   (07.25.08)
74. Number 32
Anon ,   RSA   (07.25.08)
you say: Arabs had been their for thousands of years?? Islam is only 1000 and so years old. The Jews were in the area before G-D even knew what Islam was. and that will always be the problem, the young always make a few mistakes, it will be a long time comming untill Islam matures to be a honest broker in the world community
75. cartoons not anti-semitic
ruth goodman ,   manchester, England   (07.25.08)
The cartoons are truthful and funny. Truth hurts, ADL has proved this. Why deny that Obama or McCain will say and do anything to please AIPAC and the Jewish voters. Who is kidding whom. I am proud of AIPAC, it successfully dictates US Foreign Policy in the Middle East. ADL is too blinkered to see that. ADL is wrong and is doing a disservice to the Jewish people by overreacting.
76. 75 AGREE
uuu   (07.25.08)
BUT.... the USA is just saying what you want to hear. years of experiences with the 'jew' has taught the Americans that they will screech 'anti semite' at anyone that critisizes them. YET, they still beg their little hands out, trying to suck USA tax dollars. The US politician may temporarily say what you want to hear, but USA DOES NOT LIKE YOU ANYMORE. BELIEVE THAT.
77. Who Can the Muslims Blame For $4 gal gas?
SB ,   Ohio, USA   (07.27.08)
King Abdullah has banned churches from being built in Saudi Arabia but the minute there is a back lash against Muslims for this he convenes a religious tolerance conference. He can't blame Israel for the high price of gasoline though.
78. #28s on weed...
(07.28.08)
keep telling yourself that
79. #78 - Keep recommending your own talkbacks...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (07.28.08)
Keep recommending your own talkbacks, refusing to debate me using logic and historical fact and being reduced to hurling insults, I don't care. Sticks and stones, buddy, sticks and stones...
