31. #29 If Jews being the chosen people is a myth -
rebecca ,   modiin   (12.11.08)
Why are we still here? Logic alone will tell you that, being the only nation to survive this long, and especially under the pressure we have always faced, We got something special going on. Go figure it out yourself.
32. Many British Jews suffer from a mental disorder
Tahl ,   Israel   (12.11.08)
...characterized by a severe, flagrant, unreasonable hatred toward Israel. There is just no other logical way of explaining such phenomenon.
33. #30 lol.. They go to the Boozer (B!) at age 15

34. Amazing. Turncoat tailbearing Jews stoop so low
Jake   (12.11.08)
That they would even take their anti-Israel, anti-Jewish message into Christian churches, at Christmas. Sick.
35. #29

'something special going on' 'only nation to survive so long' ? what, like sixty years and only then because (for some bizarre reason) the US tax payer subsides you and turns a blind eye towards your atrocities and the EU, because of some collective 'guilt' thing hands out billions and agrees special trade deals. Israel exists because the US and EU wish it. Not God or 'something special'.

Your remarks are rather childish and it seems you are the one that needs to grow up. To hold a blatantly political and anti-semitic act in a Church just prior to Christmas is a mockery of all religion. The rector of the Church deserves to be fired.
37. Christmas carol
Maria ,   Spain   (12.11.08)
BAD Taste! It is beyond comprehension how a socalled civilized Western country can even come up with such drivel--- usually one associates this kind of thing with puberty and teenage idiocies... whoever is behind this outrage should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, thrown out of the country....
38. 27 - TALULA! YOUR FUNNIEST TB YET!! HYSTERICAL!!
Eyal ,   ISRAEL   (12.11.08)
39. #35!!!
Wanda ,   Montreal   (12.11.08)
well said! bravo!
40. #35,#39 you don't get #29
JJ ,   NYC   (12.11.08)
Not that I agree with #29, but he is talking about the 3,000 YEARS of Jewish survival, not 60 years of Israel's survival. In the face of constant threats and inohilation, Jews have survived. No other nation has...
41. #35
Talula ,   Israel   (12.11.08)
I love Idiots like you. You are a never ending form of amusement for me. Sixty years? You think Jews have been here for only 60 years? Oh dear! Maybe you should pick up a history book and read. The US and EU were nowhere to be found when Israel took on 5 countries for the war of independence - and then again the six day war. You haven't put your country of origin. What's the matter, embarassed? Is there a dirty dark past that you don't want others to talk about? You are just a coward with a big mouth who spirts out sheer and utter crap.

You are not the only ones still here. Does that mean that we all are the chosen people idiot?
43. christmas songs
Leib ,   madison wisconsin us   (12.11.08)
12 plane hijackings, 11 school rocket bombings, 10 kidnappings, 9 murdered dissidents, 8 faked dead children, 7 anti-semitic rantings, 6 suicide bombings 5 no compromise; 4 stolen cars, 3 honor killings, 2 mutilations, and a narrative that's a Big Lie.
44. #27 YOU ARE REALLY IMMATURE
(12.11.08)
45. #35, what a deficient trashy post
Jake   (12.11.08)
First of all, EU does not "hand out billions" to Israel. EU hands out billions to Israel's enemies. Special trade deals? The only special trade deals I know about are the ones that Germany has with Iran. If you think that it is EU that does favors for Israel, just try to speak with anyone in the know about where the EU would be without tapping into some of the R&D that goes on in Israel. Second, we are not talking about 60 years of the State of Israel. We are talking about 4000 years of the people Israel, i.e. the Jewish people, which, to your great dismay, has survived before and will continue to survive far beyond uncivilized, barbarian interlopers like you. :-D
46. Apalling Testimony
Victor ,   Brazil   (12.12.08)
Ambassador Prosor has my full backing and is 100% correct in his comments. How can the Rev. Charles Hedley permit such a biased service to be conducted in his church? If he knew his Bible he would not dare do what he is doing against 'the apple of God´s eye'. This is sheer apostasy! God bless Israel and have mercy on all who hate her!
47. Anti-Zionist carols
Raymond Deane ,   Dublin Ireland   (12.12.08)
Once again Mr Prosor, followed lamentably by "Lord" Carey, deliberately obfuscates the difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. There is nothing "anti-Jewish" about these texts, and honourable Jews knew what they were doing when they participated. Israel MUST be "singled out" precisely because it pretends to embody democracy and "civilised values", whereas it is a barbarous racial state.
48. To #47, with apologies to his fellow Irishman, Mr. Wilde
USA   (12.12.08)
"The [twenty-first] century dislike of [Judaism] is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The [twenty-first] century dislike of [Zionism] is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass." End Quote.
49. #47 Let a man much greater than you or I clarify
USA   (12.12.08)
"Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and ever will be so. "Why is this? You know that Zionism is nothing less than the dream and ideal of the Jewish people returning to live in their own land. The Jewish people, the Scriptures tell us, once enjoyed a flourishing Commonwealth in the Holy Land. From this they were expelled by the Roman tyrant, the same Romans who cruelly murdered Our Lord. Driven from their homeland, their nation in ashes, forced to wander the globe, the Jewish people time and again suffered the lash of whichever tyrant happened to rule over them. "How easy it should be, for anyone who holds dear this inalienable right of all mankind, to understand and support the right of the Jewish People to live in their ancient Land of Israel. All men of good will exult in the fulfilment of God's promise, that his People should return in joy to rebuild their plundered land. This is Zionism, nothing more, nothing less. "And what is anti-Zionist? It is the denial to the Jewish people of a fundamental right that we justly claim for the people of Africa and freely accord all other nations of the Globe. It is discrimination against Jews, my friend, because they are Jews. In short, it is antisemitism. "The antisemite rejoices at any opportunity to vent his malice. The times have made it unpopular, in the West, to proclaim openly a hatred of the Jews. This being the case, the antisemite must constantly seek new forms and forums for his poison. How he must revel in the new masquerade! He does not hate the Jews, he is just 'anti-Zionist'! "My friend, I do not accuse you of deliberate antisemitism. I know you feel, as I do, a deep love of truth and justice and a revulsion for racism, prejudice, and discrimination. But I know you have been misled--as others have been--into thinking you can be 'anti-Zionist' and yet remain true to these heartfelt principles that you and I share. Let my words echo in the depths of your soul: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--make no mistake about it." ----Martin Luther King, Jr.
50. SING IT, FOLKS!
Fire vs. Fire ,   USA   (12.12.08)
12 Qassams raining; 11 children hiding; 10 mothers screaming; 9 mosques 'a-ranting; 8 murdering "martyrs"; 7 blown-up buses; 6 settlers stoning; >>>5 KIDNAP-PINGS;<<< 4 Islamic thugs; 3 airstrikes; 2 corrupted govs; AND A COUNTRY WITHOUT SECURITY
51. ZIonism is not a racist concept
Hannah ,   UK   (12.13.08)
It is simply based on the 2000 years of prayer to return to 'Zion', Jerusalem- as in 'next year in Jerusalem' at the end of Yom Kippur. True Christians understand this. Others hide their hatred and desire to wipe out the ' chosen people' ( by the way not what you think, it doesnt mean we think we're better or more deserving) by being 'anti'zionist'. It's just plain jealousy . Killing Jews, wiping out Israel won't make you smarter. If you want to end up wearing a burqa, keep turning Eurabia into a giant mosque. Because once they wipe out Saturday, Sunday will be next. Wake up and smell the napalm
