61. To Greg#59. Truth Hurts.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (01.30.09)
I sense you are feeling pain, I sense you feel hurt. IS it because -- truth hurts.
62. Cynthia
Wanda ,   Montreal   (01.30.09)
So when are you going to start citing precise information? Or information of any sort... so far, you and I have met several times in this joint, and you've proven to be little more than a heckler, resorting to banal characterizations of the other instead of consulting their arguments. So, when are you gonna start earning your keep?
63. #60 how pompous of you to think u can reveal to us our true
israeli   (01.30.09)
selves. it sounds like you were scorned by an israeli lover. you've never even been here, have you? either that or you're too jealous of jew's success, you looser. i bet the people you see around you are losers, who instead of taking initiative to make something of their own life, think the quickest way to get what they "truly deserve" is to blame jews. hatred derived from not getting enough of what your mother has promised you before bed time. unfortunately jews always thought it's not worth commenting about hence increased this hatred. same as it has always been, same as with arab jealousy here in israel. one can't hold a grenade, make threats and then cry for getting hurt. they sit on top of explosives, holes dug in the ground filled with weapons under their homes and cry out to the world they are refugees. many of the israelis were refugees, israel took 1000000 jewish refugees in 1949 from arab countries, as your arab cousins thought they are affiliated with the zionist enemy and made their lives intolerable. this number is almost twice as high as the arab refugees that either left on their own, or were called to leave by jews after 5 arab armies invaded Israel to protect their brothers, but instead abandoned them & still treat them as refugees in the surrounding countries. the jewish refugies were in refugee camps in israel and made the majority of our society in the early years of israel. they encountered a lot of problems, but their thinking was positive, and their european jewish brothers in israel taught them how to group as a modern society, rather then down trodden tribes with a mufty's sword hanging over them, so 60 years on they see themselves as citizens, not refugees. look after your moslem refugee brothers, then you would have done something positive for a change.
64. Maansingh, you're ABSOLUTELY right!
Greg ,   LA, USA   (01.30.09)
The truth hurts, that's why you do whatever you can to disguise the truth in the sheets of lies. You cannot bear with the truth so you invent fake events, twist and distort real facts and tell LIES, and more lies. PS. Pain? Don't get all philosophic on me, don't make me laugh. Cheers. Greg
65. Israeli @ 63
Greg ,   LA, USA   (01.30.09)
Oh, please, spare me from this BS. Fact that I am not agreeing with your ilk and reveling your lies about the past and present make me 'jealous' of your success? Do you see any logic here? And because of the fact I am not agreeing with you you call me indirectly an Arab? If anybody here is pompous that would be you. Cheers, Greg
66. #62 wanda ,was it you who painted swastikas all over montrel
israeli woman   (01.30.09)
were you trying to upease your arab brethren by doing "voluntary work" from fear of their negative influence like the rest of the world ? when was the last time someone dared make a caricature of mohammad the illiterate? in spite of moslem hunger to be free of any foreign influences in the middle east, jews have no other country but israel to be masters to their fate as a nation. moslem propaganda you endorse says israel is racist, whereas it is the other way around, muslems don't want a jewish nation in their midst, and a successful one at that, which is why the invented a state that never existed - the state of palestine. palestine was the name of a british mandate, there was never a palestinian sovereignty in that region. but not even your support of your mujahideen brethren in gaza shall hide the truth, and they shall have no dominion not in israel jews have lived on that land 3700 years, and lived on that land as a nation 1500 years. there were jewish communities in israel even in the worst times for them. one can not put the romans and the crusaders that slaughtered jews in the holly land on trial, but there is evidence from first aliya (immigration wave) to israel in 1880 , due to pogroms in eastern europe, that the arabs were blood thirsty regarding the jews that came to live amongst them. these arabs were subjects of the othman empire, and only 5% of the land was registered under arab local ownership in the othman land registration. arabs of the holly land didn't call themselves palestinian then. afterwards the british that governed israel have turned dozens of refugee boats back to europe where these jews were gased, and they inprisoned in cyprus thousands of jewish refugees that escaped the nazis to upease the arab world opinion . even after state of israel was declared, britain didn't release 11 thousand jews from the prison camps in cyprus. the british didn't want to upset the arabs, they armed them, and made sure that the population ratio remains in their favour. it is perfectly understood how come arabs have so much to say that is not true, and the christian world echoes their opinions. the jews are too small a minority to consider, as far as the rest of the world's concerned. but we are still here, and we have one tiny country, so keep your grabbing hands off it, and advice your brethren to do the same, and if they want to blow up, may they do it outside our gates.
67. #65 you really don't say any thing , do you?
israeli   (01.30.09)
you master the words ilk, bs, and other such comments, all this negativity for no real reason, are you bored? do you just hate for fun? if you don't blame jews for your own lack of success, and you're not an arab, then why bother? i know this isn't the ideal way to meet people, or be curious about them, but seems to me i never met anyone who hates cause it makes them feel better.
68. You see everything black and white, don't you?
Greg ,   LA, USA   (01.31.09)
I am not agreeing with you - I must be an Arab. I tell about your lies, past and present - I must hate you. I am surprised you haven't labeled me an antisemite yet.
69. I support Israel
Fran ,   Spain   (01.31.09)
I am not a jew or israeli, but I am already doing my job in every forum or blog sending comments supportig Israel and giving people information that many people don't know here. Many people has changed their mind because of that.
70. To Greg#64. Laughing is VERY Healthy.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (01.31.09)
You say :” you invent fake events” I assume you refer to the Paliwood productions the Pals are famous for. BTW laughing is VERY healthy -- it improves ones health GREATLY.
71. SO!
Wanda ,   Montreal   (01.31.09)
One cannot rebuff the claim that they were responsible for drawing swastikas without being redacted! This simple act of censuring might just sum this post up!! What may have been offensive of my last post? Post it ynet, and we'll all find out!
72. Sound and fury, signifying nothing
Dave ,   Tel Aviv   (01.31.09)
Look people. I think through your compulsory military service you've created an anachronistic culture that doesn't actually fit into the modern world. The civilized people of the world won't tolerate over confident murderers. And people like Cynthia? There is something wrong with the way that all of you think. You make no logical conclusions. Sound and fury signifying nothing
73. I am also a blogger who support Israel
Ana ,   Spain   (01.31.09)
I am not Israeli but always support Israel at talkbacks. We will won the propaganda war.
74. #68 u still don't elaborate on your differences of opinion
(01.31.09)
u still say nothing. seems u try hard to say you don't gree, but i don't know what on. seems you are excercising a right to oppose, whatever whenever and however i didn't assume you are an arab, when i said you should help your arab brethren. it's enough you are an arab sympathizer. i am not going to answer if you keep on twisting things to suit your points, because the letter was about determination to make something of one's life, regardless of jews, which projects onto the palestinian quest for self determination.
75. Army of Moronic Robots
Rumyal ,   Seattle   (02.01.09)
Who serve the destructive policy of their goviernment which is against the interest of both the Israeli and Palestinian people.
76. They have to be smart about it though ...
Miriam ,   Sydney, Australia   (02.03.09)
It's not enough to know the language ... you have to be in tune with what people are also thinking. To go on a site and say 'Arabs are all jihadis who want to kill us all' looks very dumb because that is not how Westerners perceive Muslims that they meet through their jobs etc. So it has to be done carefully and most importantly, truthfully. The last requirement cannot be understated no matter how inconvenient it might be.
77. Inquiry
Nancy Shurykah ,   Tel-Aviv   (02.05.09)
I found this article extremely interesting, especially since my friends and me (all olim) have made serious efforts by email and on Facebook to share with our international friends our support for Israel and our side of the story. I would be interested in learning more about what the Foreign Ministry is doing and how I can help further. Thank you, Nancy Shurykah
78. BLOGS VOLUNTEER
yaacv ,   miami U.S.A   (02.07.09)
COULD YOU PASS ON MY INFOS SO I COULD BE ALSO PART OF HELPING FIGHT ANTISEMITISM, I SPEAK FLUENTLY , ANGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH T.Y
79. Help
Episofique ,   UK   (02.13.09)
Could some non sionist Jews help us to defend this planet?
80. Apartheid image
frances ,   Kamas, Utah   (03.13.09)
As an American who has visited Israel and spent considerable time in the Occupied Palestinian territories as well, I would suggest a better way to improve Israel's image is to end Israeli apartheid there. I've seen the thousands of acres of olive groves stolen from Palestinian farmers, the separate modern road system for Jews only while most roads for Palestiniians are blocked. I saw parched Palestinian villages which are allowed only four hours of culinary water once a week while near-by Jews-only settlements enjoy lush green lawns, bougainvillea vines and swimming pools. It is quite shameful. I suggest that anyone who really cares about Israel's image and about our world look at this web-site, www.itisapartheid.org and decide for yourselves. South African Bishop Desmond Tutu says it is apartheid. It certainly looked like apartheid to me. Rrying to improve israel's image while is waging apartheid is fruitless. Frances
81. This kind of forum disruption usually ...
me ,   Hannah Is.   (03.27.09)
backfires and creates more hate....
82. 1000 new Jew bloggers
Steve ,   Australia   (03.27.09)
1000 new liars will not change the truth and NOBODY ever is won to the cause of Zionism, they are only lost. Zionism is a false and virulently evil cult and is doomed to destruction by condistions of its own creation. By the way ten thousand or even 100,000 new jew liars on the net will not change that. ONE true jew who rejects you all is worth more than the whole lot combined.
83. LOL! WHat else is new? Pathetic!
ARI ,   NYC   (03.27.09)
THis article proves that you are psychpaths./
84. propaganda
mystic ,   new york city   (03.27.09)
That is a propagandistic lie: There is an explosion of anti-Semitism globally as result of the Palestinian holocaust. I am a Jew and think Israel and Israelis are exactly like the Nazis. They are despicable war criminals and are making trouble just like they did for the past 1000 years. Jews never learn.
85. You cannot beat Jewish humor.
Zvi Krankenfuss ,   Berlin   (03.27.09)
Haha, extremely funny. It is not war, but ridicule will do Zionism in.
86. recruiting for the blogs
Alex ,   Ottawa, Canada   (03.27.09)
Terry, it's a great comment! If you're OK in life, you don't have to improve your image by recruiting supporters showing that you are OK.
87. Official Hiring Of Liars
Tom Lowe ,   USA   (03.27.09)
Officially hiring liars has been an ongoing practice in Israel since way before its ugly stillbirth. Nothing to see here.
88. Truth
Grey Winters ,   USA   (03.27.09)
Truth doesn't need hired mouth pieces. Nor does it need laws to protect it. Only the guilty needs propagandists.
89. How Sad You've Become
Nour ,   Palestine   (03.27.09)
An Army of Bloggers to salvage what exactly? Your reputation has always been lowly among the comity of nations. This "news" proves you're desperate, and mroally bankrupt. All you want is to believe your own buffalo droppings.
90. Thank you...
Liberty_Bell ,   Philadelphia, USA   (03.28.09)
