Deal ?
2. Avi, I think you're an "Ibrahim" in disguise as an "Avi"
(05.11.09)
3. must he return the golden calf?
observer   (05.11.09)
their god is capable of resurrection, we are eager to practice our own part.
4. A pity these men know nothing about welcoming guests!
Israela   (05.11.09)
Their behaviour is totally unacceptable!
5. #1 Avi - sounds fair as Israel never stole any land
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (05.11.09)
6. One step further
Ben Israel ,   Kiryat Arba   (05.11.09)
Since the so called Palis claim damages for what we did to them, and the Blacks in America are calling for reparations for slavery, we too should demand reparations from the successor to the Holy Roman Empire i.e. the Pope for the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and the genocide of the Jews by the Romans . There is a precedent for such reparations as we see Germany is paying for the Holocaust! Put a lien on every property of the Catholic Church till they pay. All Jews are descendants of the Jews murdered by the Romans in that period. We have suffered exile, blood libels, pogroms, inquisitions and the Holocaust as a result of what the Romans did when they invaded us and destroyed plundered, looted,raped tortured kidnapped and murdered!
7. yet another step further...
Gershon ,   Kfar Saba   (05.11.09)
#6, you also forget about the back wages the Egyptians owe us for 200 years of slave labour with interest and adjusted for inflation!
8. is that inclued Marzel brain or not.
ghostq   (05.11.09)
cause I won't consider that a treasure, his brain is more of a garbage waste.
9. to #3 Exodus happend long time ago
ghostq   (05.11.09)
get over it.
10. What is it with us? Why is it always about $$$$??
(05.11.09)
Why is that we need to be so litigious in our nature? What's witht the demand for money all the time! BTW if the Romans did it to us why are we expecting the Catholics to pay for it? The Romans were pagans by nature!
11. It's the gelt... always the gelt.
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (05.11.09)
12. reparation
Mari   (05.11.09)
and all Christians can sue the Roman government for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Christians in Italy, France, Spain during the Roman empire. ROMANS? Ben Israel: and YOU want to get aid for what all the people did to your people in the past 2000 years- wow, you are going to be rich beyond imagination----- don't start spending the money just yet. Money is everything? Right?
13. Quid pro quo
Johann ,   New York City, USA   (05.11.09)
Give back the Holy Land to the Pope and we'll consider it.
14. and Israel will return stolen lands...
John ,   Chicago, IL   (05.11.09)
Interesting...the UN gave them back what was there's to begin with. All the local "civilized" countries refuse to acknowledge the UN. You go to war with Israel...they beat you...then you just gossip and complain about it for the next 50+ years. It's not the Palestine homeland...they didn't exist at the time. The Arab world uses the so called "Palestinians" as a bargaining chip against Israel, but won't consider giving them any land for an "artificial" homeland to replace the "artificial" homeland they believe Israel occupies.
15. #7, 12 & 13
Ben Israel ,   Kiryat Arba   (05.11.09)
#7 There is a Gemara to that effect when the egyptians complained to Alexander the Great that Bnai Yisroel emptied out Myzrayim of all it's treasures, Gviha Ben Psisah refuted them by saying they owe us back wages so Alexander the great dismissed the Egyptian suit. #12 Those Christians should sue the successor to the Roman Empire: The Pope , you are correct #13 Give BACK the Holy land to the Pope??? It was never his to start with just as it was never the so-called fictitious nation called Palestinian's
16. if we are going to hold papacy responsible
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (05.11.09)
for the actions of pre-xitian rome then we should sue for reimbursement/compensation for the value of the coliseum in rome. There is a plaque at the entrance that clearly says the coliseum is the result of plunder taken by Caesar as a result of rome's victory in the Jewish Wars. I bet the coliseum is worth a shekel or two? I don't know??
17. Not so far fetched
Dr. Jonathan Levy ,   United States   (05.12.09)
I'm one of the attorneys in the lawsuit Alperin v Vatican Bank for return of the Ustasha Treasury and I can tell you that the Vatican does have a lot of stolen property - a proper accounting is in order. www.vaticanbankclaims.com
18. Pope and Reparations
John D ,   Boston USA   (05.12.09)
Yes, give back items to Israel...When Israelis pay the little boys who throw stones in Palestine at Israeli soldiers, for breaking their little arms in retaliation.
19. Rightists want stay of exit order against pope
Anthony ,   Calgary, Canada   (05.12.09)
The fact that you deemed this story to be a newsworthy item is an insult. The actions of these to men are an affront to the rabbinic tradition. The Rabbis of the Talmud taught a Jew to make his guests feel comfortable (Berachot 58a) and not to insult him with unjust accusations.
20. Revolting treatment of a world leader
Justice for all ,   USA   (05.12.09)
These people continue to live in the past and focus on the past while the rest of the world has moved on. Turns my stomach that such people still exist. Israel has turned into cesspool of this extremism - I plan never to visit or be an advocate of the nation.
21. pagans
kalidas ,   austin, usa   (05.13.09)
No King Solomon. No King David. No Egypt exile. No Masada heroics. No etc., etc., etc. Get over it. Embrace your pagan roots.
22. New Tourism Pitch
imp ,   redmond, wa, usa   (05.13.09)
Come to Israel. You'll never want to leave. Or be allowed to.
23. On Jewish Claims from the Vatican
shosha ,   Toronto   (05.13.09)
If you can prove in court every occurance that you mention and bring forward witnesses go for it. However, I think, my parents brought me up to treat guests with honour, and the best of whatever we had to offer. It is time to move on - stop dwelling in the past, you might find that we owe others much more than you allow yourself to believe. Please stop the nonsense. We have a homeland, let us look forward non back and live with our neighbours in peace - it really is up to us.
24. Vatican has lots of stolen money
Shosha ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.13.09)
So does Bank Leumi and worse it belongs to survivors of the Shoah and they will not give it to these poor old people in Israel yet none of the Israeli leaders look ill fed. SHAME
