You're a loser because you couldn't wait until 10,000 *GOOD ZIONISTS* were thrown out of their houses in Gush Katif, onto the streets. You loved every minute of it. You don't deserve to live in this Holy Land. Move to Australia where they love leftist egoists like yourself.

We belong to the 'Jewish secular ' people but not to God ??? Isnt that a bit of an oxymoron ? :) which side are you on? Jews or non-jews ? You cant be a Jew and NOT belong to a God :))

one day a crushing force will sweep to liberate palestine...i'd love to see you stick around...so funny that this tenacious attitude of yours will vanish and you'll be stampeding others on your way to get out..... don't worry...it'll happen since you dont wanna share the land...you'll have none of it...such were the crusades after 200 years they disappeared.

Jews did not invade Palestine. Jews lawfully purchased the land from the Ottoman Empire and lawfully established a presence. The Jews also accepted the 1948 Partition Plan. The reason that the Israelis are now occupying Arab land is because the Arabs attacked first and lost the war. Now let me ask you something, my Saudi Arabian friend. Israel has in the past absorbed suffering and persecuted Jews from every corner of the earth. If the Kingdom feels so passionately about the suffering of the Palestinians- why not accept them as refugees into your own country?

Thank you from the heart.

how it should be - about the refugees. it's by no moral standard unacceptable to say "ok, they fled and this what gives us the right not to allow them to return". i don't mean that the right of return should be implemented - but i am sure that we must find a reasonable unswer and solution for the refugees....

I've found those who are sure of their abilities and/or beliefs don't generally shout about them from the roof-tops. You can simply see it in their actions and comportment. So, Mr. Lapid, who is it you are trying to convince: your readers or yourself?

Lapid probably does think of himself a Zionist, a good Jew and a fine human being. I have a problem in the way his uses his position as a media figure to delegitimize others he disagrees with. I think that he has the same fouled up morality of his hate-raising father something Israeli society should be ashamed of.

He resembles the model for the Bank HaPoalim ads.

and a proud zionist for it?

> Israel was not established so > that the anti-Semites will > disappear, but rather, so we > can tell them to get lost. This is a new idea. It somehow suggests (perhaps correctly) that the diaspora has become a liability for Israel. With its intense focus on Jews living as moral beings, it runs against the interest of Israel. But then again, a Jewish world without a diaspora would be out of step with modern times, when every other nation seems to develop a wide community of expatriates. Such is the Jewish people - we do everything differently. More exactly, we do it similarly, just a few millenia before others.

That is a great question. How can the most beautiful buildings in the world be dedicated to one Jew yet most of the worshippers of that one Jew hate other Jews. I wish I knew the answer to that question. To put it in microcosm how could Mel Gibson make a beautiful film about that one Jew and then make all those anti-semitic statements? I have no idea.

At least temporarily -Otherwise Ynetnews director will face Anti-semitism accusations firing such a "ZIONIST", Good Attemp Liar Rappid, it will save a job for a while but not ever... (fire instead that moderators censuring my writings)

sometimes look around me and become filled with pride, because I live better than a billion Indians, 1.3 billion Chinese, the entire African continent, more than 250 million Indonesians, and also better than the Thais, the Filipinos, the Russians, the Ukrainians, and the entire Muslim world, with the exception of the Sultan of Brunei. I live in a country under siege that has no natural resources, yet nonetheless the traffic lights always work and we have high-speed connection to the Internet. I only need sincere humans opinion about that that sick way of thinking towards others.

one of the funniest, most eloquent, most poetic compositions i've read. Well done Yair Lapid and it fills me with pride to be ZIONIST!

An unwanted guest. Please pack your belongings and your Hamas buddies and go back to Arabia, where your ancestors came from. Land of Israel is the property of the children of Israel. Shalom : )

Yair -- how about a bit of humility, or perhaps an apology to the Jews from Gush Katif you cheered when evicting them from their homes? Unlike you, most of them have no homes, no jobs, and they live in temporary plastervillas -- courtesy of YOU, while you pat yourself on your back for being such a wonderful Zionist. Maybe help some of those other Zionists who you helped mess up their lives? Jameel muqata.blogspot.com

right.... Jews have been in the land long before Muslims existed. The land will forever belong to the Jews and you cannot steal it from us as u did Africa.

thanks for ensure our awareness of you...

bought into the lies of your leaders. Your problem is with them not Israel or the Jews. Seek the truth, read the bible as a history text to see who that land began with. There were no Palestinians... Read Mark Twain to see the truth of who was in that land a hundred years ago. It was not you....your people came from surrounding Arab land as a result of the jobs created by Jews. It is very sad that those same surrounding Arab lands have used you in an effort to destroy the Jews. Those Arab brothern of yours do not care how many of you die in the process. We only want to live in freedom in our own land. Seek the truth...

Jacob whats up? Im also Jacob. Yes Im glad you are aware that Jesus,... the Jew,...and his all of his disciples were also Jewish. Its strange but many people who hate Jews (like you?) and wish for their ruin dont know that they were Jewish and raised in Judaism, 2000 years ago in the Judea as Jews and Jesus called it, but as "occupied (rubbish and lies) wets bank". The house is no longer abandoned. The house is in every heart. That is where the true Temple lies. The physical temple will be rebuilt in jerusalem following the words of the smae prophets Jesus revered and you revere. At least i imagine you revere Isaiah and other jews because you use them to "prove" Jesus was the messiah. I have no issues with your Faith; if it makes you a better man than good for you. You do know that you cant have it both ways. The same prophets you use to say jesus is the person predicted to be the messiah, also prophesize about the ingathering of the jewish exiles...back to our eternal home, the land of Israel, You cant have it both ways. Zionism is the physicaliy of the Judasim; as the word "Zion" is replete in al;l the prophets, in the Psalms, in the Holy writings. Go and study my Christian brother.

I belong to yours father generation yair, I am very proud to have a son , yes a son like yo.
