61. Michael #8 - 9 Truth as it is
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (12.22.10)
Egypt, the Palestinian Authority as well as many other Islamic or mostly populated by Muslim but secular countries receive US tax dollars which amount to a lot more then what Israel receives. Are you saying that we should also stop giving them our Tax money? Please clarify. People reading your post would like to understand where you really stand. Additionally; USA - despite the current economic issues that we are facing - is still and will be for a long time a super power, one of the world's wealthiest countries with vast natural resources. It is still the one of the most influential countries - if not thee most - when it comes to international affairs and conflict resolution. Therefore we do have a responsibility to share some of our wealth with the rest of the world as it is necessary to make the world a better place.
62. An insult to the local Jewish community
John Gilbert   (12.22.10)
For the local Jewish community that suffered an attack in the Seattle Jewish Federation a few years ago these ads may be adding insult to injury since it may encourage further attacks on the community by some who like to blame local Jews for events that happen in the Middle East regarding Israel since this is exactly what happened a few years ago at the Seattle Jewish Federation when a criminal shooter shot six people there, killing one of them and injuring five.

that is likely to be produced anytime play . Thaler, aged 16, was blown up at a pizzeria in an Israeli shopping mall. She died after an 11-day struggle for life following the February 16, 2002 attack, when a suicide bomber approached a crowd of teenagers and blew himself up.

about crimes by Arabs . The list is infinite
66. US dollars helping Israel, etc...
Ameridane ,   Aarhus denmark   (12.22.10)
it's about time that all you that complain about helping Israel with (devalued) us$. We in Europe help Gaza and the occupied territories with euros. We don't help Israel and as far as I know Israel (and Egypt, Turkey,Etc) get help in hardware which whether you like it or not helps your industry. But go on moaning about your tax dollars, maybe you could send them to Iraq or Afghanistan, they will really appreciate your tax dollars or Hamas?

69. Sincere Apologies ...
John DeLancy ,   Alaska, USA   (12.22.10)
to the people of Israel. As an American I am ashamed of this act and that of others in deligitimizing Israel. Because ultimately, that is what this is about. When the Arabs shell schoolchildren, there is no protest, but when Israel responds in self-defense, there is %$#@ like this. There are Bible prophecies that indicate that when all nations move against Israel, that the US and other countries engendered by England either can't or won't help. That day has not come, but when it does, I will mourn for America. But I won't mourn for Israel, because those same prophecies declare that G-D Himself will save Israel on that day. Am Yisrael Chai!
70. Seattle Metro can suck it
Barak ,   Seattle, WA   (12.22.10)
"The Jewish community in the city was not rushing to respond" As an Israeli Jew living in Seattle, I know this statement is completely false. We are doing everything we can to counter hateful messages like these. It's hard to put in check so many lefty loony liberals that call Seattle home and believe in "world peace"....
71. Today is in Seattle, tomorrow Dallas, Chicago, LA and NYC

This is the truth and until this is changed that is what you going to witness.
72. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.10)
1. The United States government does not view the settlements to be illegal. The current administration -- no friend of Israel -- has simply stated that settlement construction "is not helpful." 2. The United States government has openly "deplored" human rights violations in China, but that hasn't stopped the vigorous trade between the United States and that country. American companies have not been prohibited from outsourcing to China and China still has "most favored nation" trade status. I could go on, but it wouldn't make a dent. You haven't got a clue about anything, but it doesn't seem to stop you from continually proving your ignorance on pretty much every topic you address.
73. #37 You forgot. Pals murdered BOB KENEDDY
Eran ,   Singapore   (12.22.10)
From Wikipedia; "In a crowded kitchen passageway, Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old PALESTINIAN , opened fire with a .22-caliber revolver. BOB KENNEDY was hit three times and five other people also were wounded. George Plimpton and former decathlete Rafer Johnson are credited with wrestling Sirhan Sirhan to the ground after Sirhan shot the Senator. Kennedy was first rushed to Los Angeles's Central Receiving Hospital and then to the city's Good Samaritan Hospital where he died early the next ". This is called murder. Pals, be proud. So much for Pal pride.
74. To: No. 59
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.10)
Yes, your days are numbered. Judea and Samaria will be annexed, and its Arab residents repatriated to Jordan, whose citizenship they hold courtesy of Jordan's Citizenship Law of 1954. One state, yes -- Medinat Israel. You're Jordanian, and will have to leave.
75. To: No. 37 -- SECOND ATTEMPT
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.22.10)
So, you want information about Americans who have been murdered by the "Palestinian terrorists?" It's rather a long list -- 700 Americans murdered and 1,600 injured in "Palestinian" terrorist attacks, through 2006. You can find the list here: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Terrorism/usvictims.html These were INNOCENT victims; the individuals you listed came to Israel under false pretenses (claiming to be "tourists") and with a specific agenda to aid and abet terrorists. Frankly, as far as I am concerned, they got exactly what they deserved. Let me put it this way: if a foreigner were to come to the United States and actively participate in a riot; hurl stones at American police officers and National Guardsmen, and get killed in the process ..... how many tears do you think you will shed?
76. Like them or not they tell the truth
Leon ,   Ottawa, Canada   (12.22.10)
Many people may not like these ads, but they illustrate war crimes. The Goldstone Report and other human rights groups clearly documented Israeli war crimes. The US has promised Israel an additional 30 billion dollars of military aid for the next ten years. Zionists are angry because if Americans find out about their 'aid' is spent, they will start to question this abhorrent policy.
77. Ed Mast has blood on his hands
Tbb ,   US   (12.22.10)
The person who is the spokesman, there is blood on his hands
78. The Palestinian Issues
(12.22.10)
This is all politics! It has to do about humans being treated like animals. Religion has nothing to do with this. Just because one hates what a government is doing does not mean the people of that country is hated!
79. MORE PALLYWOOD
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (12.22.10)
More suckers, sucked in to the staged, fabricated and straight out lies of a mythical people. First, lets look at the lies. HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_B1H-1opys And HERE: http://current.com/1a6e04c And HERE: http://current.com/1a6e04c And HERE: http://seconddraft.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52:gaza-beach-tragedy&catid=58:according-to-palestinians-sources&Itemid=229 The Above FOUR video's show the blatant manipulation of the Western Media by Arab source's. What we see is the Palestinian government, the population and the media themselves all complicit in simply lying to vilify Israel. We can add the recent flotilla and Lebanese border fight to the list. But I let those off. So we have one group that constantly gets caught faking stories (the Palestinians) and Israel who have NEVER been caught or involved in such treachery. Yet we have this idiots for their own political agenda putting up bias and misleading billboards on buses. Now if the Palestinians were in fact on the right side, morally speaking, why would they have to lie, stage and fabricate stories in order to elicit sympathy. Wouldn't the truth tell the story? So a BIG red flag should up. Second, there is no real Arab Palestinian people or country. There never was until recent events. Then they were invented. If asked I can prove this statement unequivocally by statements from the Arab leaders themselves. So it is indisputable fact. The Palestinians are a myth, that were recently invented for political reasons. To quote a PLO leader in the 1970's he explained the reasoning in a newspaper interview that can be verified. HERE: Zuhair Muhsin, leader of the PLO splinter gang known as “Al Sa’iqa” (The Storm) and backed by Syria, said in a March 31, 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." HOW MUCH CLEARER CAN IT BE SAID?

88. To: No. 78
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.23.10)
If life were so terrible for Israeli Arabs, you'd think they would have JUMPED at the chance to go live in areas under administration by the "Palestine" Authority. Do you know how many Israeli Arabs have relocated to the PA? I will tell you. NOT ONE. Keep in mind that the "Palestinians" in the West Bank and Gaza have waged an unrelenting war of terror against Jews, both in Israel and in the Diaspora, for nearly seventy years. It is the "Palestinians" who are the animals; not the Jews.
89. No More $$ to Israel
Victor ,   Raleigh, USA   (12.22.10)
The U.S. needs to stop sending $$ to all foreign countries. None of them like us and none of them listen to us. Netanyahowdeedoo always keeps showing up at Obama's door asking for more $$. We need to give him a kick in his butt and send him back empty-handed.
