61. :: Sarah BS - #50 - "Moral principles"
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.29.10)
Sarah BS you once called for the indiscriminate carpet bombing of Gaza, I quote: "Bomb Gaza incessantly for one day – and I do mean punish them” - Sarah BS, Jan 2010. As you wish to “punish” over half a million innocent children in Gaza I hardly think you are one to talk about "moral principles".
62. he should take him as seriously as all those...

sagi, Your crawling and bootlicking under erakat's feet is not perfectly complete until you pledge your own life to the jihad to wash away the "shame" of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef ! What a sorry magot you are ! Brrr.......

Israeli 2   (08.29.10)
Your right wing position is a normal position. (If you were left wing nut) now that is defining you as Crazy for sure BUT as much as I do not agree with some of the positions this rabbi may take, you seem to have an innate hatred for Chareidim in general. That is called "Sinat Chinam" ( a no no with me). At the end you may find them to be our only true friends. Let us all have a great New Year.
65. Palestinians are nearly impossible to genocide
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.29.10)
Mr. Erekat ,remind you that Shas is part of the "Israeli" government, which you want to negotiate with it !!!!!!!!!!
66. :: Mark - #45 - Open exchange is abundant
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.29.10)
Off hand I’d cite Ma’an News ie: http://tiny.cc/mgm7z As you can see at the bottom of the article both camps can have an open exchange. Also presstv.ir for example: http://tiny.cc/kf80t here you can see many ‘pro-Israeli’ posters The Lebanese news site yalibnan.com which also caters for both camps: http://tiny.cc/ox7ma In truth Mark there are many ‘papers’/online news outlets in the Muslim world that allows this kind of open exchange and the Israeli online news outlets are not unique in this regard.

Aryeh ,   Bat Ayin   (08.29.10)
your incitement is as bad as Erikat and the PA ! You need to ask mechila of every Chareidi in the world before Yom Kippur Bfarhesiah You are a Rabbi? You have Smicha? You are Shomer Shabbat, kashrut and Taharat Hamishpacha? If so then you are also a Hareidi, if not you are stam a sheigetz
68. #61, is english not your first language?
Danny   (08.29.10)
how does bomb gaza incessantly for one day equate to indiscriminate carpet bombing? On the other hand we have your claim that Gazans lost 30% of their arable land because Israel apparently has a 300m exclusion zone next to the border, a statement that a first grade arithmetic student would know is patently false.

Mr. Rubinger; First, Rabbi Ovadia is not a Haredi Jew and has nothing to do with Haredism...He is a Sephardic Orthodox Rabbi-highly esteemed and reveered.... If you call yourself a Rabbi, especially if you really are, it is outrageous of you to call haredim a cancer for keeping the Torah and the Jewish traditions as per ancient times....If you are concern about bad treatment of women, first look into the islamic traditional perception to women's rights and their daily lives, before you opine anywhere....What should come to an end is the islamic daily calling and praying for the total destruction of Israel and of murder of all the Jews and infidels by jihad...Wake up Ephraim and see the cancer where it really grows, habibi and then decide what it is that has to come to an end.....

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.10)
Oh, stop the false piety. If it puts an end to the missiles and the terrorization of children in Sderot and environs, I'd nuke Gaza in a second. In case you haven't noticed, Hamas has declared itself to be at war with the "Zionist entity." Do you remember how the Allies put an end to Germany during the Second World War? Do you remember how the United States put an end to the war with Japan? What exactly do you think the United States is doing in Afghanistan and Iraq? What do you think NATO did in Kosovo? Doesn't Hamas endlessly state its goal is the destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people? The last time someone promised that, fully one-third of the Jewish people were exterminated. Forgive us if IsraelI takes such existential threats seriously, refuses to lay down and die and actually -- GASP -- seeks to defend itself and the Jewish people. Israel has always warned Gaza comfortably in advance of any major bombardment so that civilians can go elsewhere. What a pity that Hamas refuses to let the civilians out of the area (while they themselves skedaddle to safety, of course). We know that terrorists like a great big pile of dead bodies -- hell, Israel (and more latterly, the United States) know it better than anyone. It occurs to me that you have yet to come out and say anything negative or critical of the constant threats to Israel made by its terrorist neighbors. You're the one whose moral compass needs adjustment; there does not seem to be room for Jews or Israel in your warped soul.
73. This is only the tip of the iceberg
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (08.29.10)
..of what goes on in the PA media since the concept of the 'proximity talks" Who's Erekat kidding? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfk4NGAhk34
74. COULD IT BE...,
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (08.29.10)
...that Erekat has a guilty conscience? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
75. The usual over-the-top Arab reactions
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.29.10)
in order to gain sympathy. Incidentally, Fatah's Charter expressly says to eliminate the "Zionist State of Israel" in terms of its political, economic, military and cultural systems. Erekat is just playing up to the international community with his filtered moral indignation.
76. Arch terrorist Abu Mazen (Abbas) will get what he deserves !
Jaacov Baumann   (08.29.10)
Abu Mazen is an arch terrorist who has a lot of jewish blood on his hands ! E.g. he was one of the main organizers of the munich massacre ! Every jew with common sense agrees with the Rabbi ! The scriptures say : Cursed is he who curses Israel ! Abu Mazen is 200% a cursed, a doomed man !
77. #66; Matty, You did show us ONE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.29.10)
I stand corrected, all have the same address, so it must be the same company that owns all these outlets. I'm surprised, never saw one, ever. Although, at the second site, I noticed all posts were against Israel. But at least there is one such outlet in the Arab world.
78. #55: GOOD ONE! But his name is EERIE CAT!

nosson tzvi ,   YERUSHALAYIM   (08.29.10)
It is amazing how many people here show disrespect to a man whom they know little about . These people have no understanding of his great achievements in Jewish scholarship and certainly not about the great work he has done for Sephardic pride in establishing the Shas political party and furthering the education of his flock.His discourses are for those who take their religion seriously and not for for journalists and others who don't. The Psalms of David are replete with prayers to G-D to avenge the evil of our enemies. I find Ephraim Rubinger's remarks puzzling - please look him up on GOOGLE!
81. so-called Ephraim Rubinger
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.30.10)
You and your intolerance must be stopped. Malignant ignorant leftists who seem to feel that anybody that doesn't follow your stupid ideas must be silenced. Why do you hate freedom of speech and freedom of religion? I am not Hareidim but I certain oppose EVERYTHING you stand for because you are against some of the most fundamental rights of humans. Your stupidity is not to be tolerated, nor is your opinion on an ISRAELI rabbi. Stupid Americans that elected racist American leaders have nothing to teach us.
82. It Seems to me...
Galut ,   Selah   (08.30.10)
Hamas has threatened any Fatah member that works on the Israeli /palistinian peace plan and shouted very clearly it was thier intent to remove Israel from the mid east.... how much clearer must they shout it before the world peace community makes the connection. I know hamas hasn't said the genocide word out lould but after observing what they did to those palistinians that opposed them in gaza...it is not a streach to belive if they ever got the upper hand... the lives of any Jew in the holy land would be at risk..... I don't like Genocide either but just chidding Rabbi Yosef without dealing with Hamas leaders intentions is to encourage those that would do Israel ILL....
83. :: #72
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.30.10)
Tell me Sarah BS just how can Hamas achieve this? It was estimated by the Council on Foreign Relations in 2009 that Hamas had 1,000 active members in its military wing and we all know that it has very little weapons (eg: crude homemade rockets, mortars, guns, etc) so tell how can Hamas feasibly achieve the “destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people”? Honestly I’m interested in hearing how you can justify the nuking of 1.5 million people (half or whom are children) on the premise that a very small militant group with hardly any weapons poses an immediate and severe threat to the very existence of the State of Israel?

Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.30.10)
Er no!? If you refer to the URLs I provided they are ‘short URLs’ ie: several website provide the means to shorten long URLs eg: http://edition.presstv.ir/detail/140303.html can be rendered as http://tiny.cc/ufjju both URLs link to the same webpage. Rest assured that all three websites I listed are owned by three different media outlets (Palestinian, Iranian, Lebanese). Yeah my bad, I just skimmed a look, still proof is in the pudding and I invite you to post a ‘pro-Israeli’ comment on this website and see if it is published. There are many more if you take the time to look.
85. Finally Israelis are speaking the only language Arabs like
to talk!   (08.30.10)
86. Maybe now Palestinians can understand their hate speech is
not nice!   (08.30.10)

88. Plague on Palestinians
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (08.30.10)
#45 You claim " he has no popular support among the average Jewish Israeli". Evidence contrary to that abounds here at Ynet from the rabid and fanatical posters one can trust to join ANY anti-anybody other than Jew forum.
89. Open exchange and Maan News: "Matty"
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.30.10)
is correct in so far as he goes. Maan news does permit posters from all sides, including "Matty Groves", in its Talkback section. On the other hand, the news and opinion articles are exceedingly imbalanced, almost always against Israel. Maan news uses stalwarts from Israel such as Uri Avnery on a consistent basis to promote its anti-Israeli views. "Matty", of course, knows this but part of his propaganda campaign against Israel is not to include the extreme bias against Israel when he promotes Maan for being fair. In other words, he consciously omits context in order to achieve his purpose which is the demonization of Israel. "Matty" does play a part in our own Talkback network because, by studying his strategy, we can learn to be more effective in our own analyses and become firmer in dispelling the anti-Israeli myths which he, and others like him, are attempting to establish. So, thank you "Matty", you truely do play a role, diabolical as it is.
