61. Too bad most of the Arabs don't agree
Ziv   (06.05.11)
with the statement "Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies." It would be a very different middle east if they did. Unfortunately, these are useful idiots. They may refuse all they want to be the enemies of Hamas, but Hamas IS and WILL BE their enemies, to the death. They may refuse all they want to be the enemies of Hezbollah, but Heszbollah IS and WILL BE their enemies, to the death. I see the words "bli tzahal" on one of the posters. Without Tzahal. I have to wonder what the rest of the sign says. But I can tell you what would happen without the IDF; these people would be slaughtered. There is not even any question about this. But then, these people are from Hadash and other parts of the far, far left. Useful idiots who worshipped the USSR before it fell, and who now hang onto their hatred of the US and of their own country because that's all that is left of the former Soviet "cause."
62. In support of the demonstrations
Rabbi Maurice Harris ,   Eugene, OR   (06.05.11)
I appreciate the courage and the Jewish values that the demonstrators are displaying. Looking forward in undaunted hope to a 2-state future.
63. Disgusting!!
Max Schadenfreude   (06.05.11)
64. Time for the Israeli right to wake up
veskebjorn ,   Themopolis, USA   (06.05.11)
Worldwide support for Israeli drops further every time Netanyahu and Lieberman open their mouths. Israeli rightwing superhero, Meir Dagnan, describes the current government as "irresponsible and reckless" and calls for support of the "Saudi" peace initiative which includes withdrawal to 1967 truce lines and returning East Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Almost every sentient creature on our planet supports Dagnan, except for a handful of Israeli Jews and some U.S. Christian Zionists whose support of Israel includes the certainty that all Jews will go to Hell when Christ returns. The great majority of U.S. citizens no longer care about Israel; we just want to get the U.S. out of the entire Middle East. I think the point of Obama's enigmatic speech was exactly that--that he was washing his hands of the whole Israeli mess.
65. 35 Selim. You seem to be a learned man
Eran ,   Singapore   (06.05.11)
Here are some rather simple questions, you be the genius and answer some of them, which, will of course prove your claim Explain why neither Palestine or Jerusalem are mentioned in the Koran, though both are mentioned in the Bibles of any denomination Name just three of its kings or rulers. What are their achievements? With which other peoples did the Palestinians interact? Where can one find any records where in the name of the country of Palestine or its people are mentioned? What Archaeological sites can one name? Where can one find the recorded history of these people? Whom did they conquer or were conquered by? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding? Can anyone name at least Five Palestinian leaders before Arafat? Let me know.
66. 57 I love Israel too
Yusuf ,   Isfahan   (06.05.11)
67. 43
birdi ,   israel   (06.05.11)
''negotiate?'' the peace process is a joke.the muslim world cannot & will not accept Israel under any circumstances. the peace process is Jewish surrender to islam in installments!
68. #11
Howard ,   Seattle   (06.05.11)
AIPAC and BIBI are not looking for Israel to return to" Aushwitz borders".If the experience and consequences of the unilateral withdrawl from Gaza and the Egyption peace treaty have not opened your eyes then you are quite ignorant of history and what happens to those who fail to learn from it.Or are you like Charlis Brown hoping that Lucy will just this once hold onto the football.Wake up!
69. #62 Rabbi who approves Shabbat desecration
Ilan ,   Ariel   (06.05.11)
would also approve a coalition of child killers, idolatry, and Holocaust deniers.
70. 'Israel says yes to a Palestinian state'
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (06.05.11)
What a nerve, Israel says yes if the ' Palestinians' agree to peace but so far they don't. Since the people of Tel Aviv want a Palestinian state so much then give them Tel Aviv.
71. A KINGDOM for a CURE for "Israeleftismacitis: it can be done
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.05.11)
72. Mostly
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (06.05.11)
Aratbs!! As a jews in an Arab country I would like o show my support for Israel. Is it possible ?
73. The Brilliant Leftists
Jerry Diamond ,   toronto Canada   (06.05.11)
These left wingers are suicidal. That is the only reasonable, logical conclusion one can come to. These Palistinians hate you more than they love their own children. They would behead each and every one of you if given the chance. Look what they did when you gave back Gush Katif. Burned the synagogues down destroyed what ever they could find that was related to Judiasm. Yes Haniye and Nazralla will become your best friends and attend synagogue services on |Shabat when the pope becomes chief Rabbi of Israel
74. Talk about follow the money
Ypip ,   Canada   (06.05.11)
Most of them probably have glassed coffee tables.
75. These leftists are useful idiots, serving Israel's enemies..
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.05.11)
It is not hard to understand why many of these demonstrators were Israeli Arabs. Many Israeli Arabs want to see Israel replaced by another Arab state. Their motive is clear. However, the Israeli Jewish left is brain dead and sick. A cursory glance at a map proves Israel could not survive a decade if we allow a hostile new state to arise in Judea and Samaria. Israel would be indefensible. These leftists are useful idiots, working for Israel's enemies. They represent only the tiniest minority of Israeli Jews.
76. #64. Most Americans oppose Obama's Israel bashing.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.05.11)
#64. Obama's speech is opposed by the vast majority of Americans. That is why he claimed to have been "misrepresented" by his own words! Such a claim also says a great deal about Obama's limited intellect. Polls consistently prove most Americans appreciate Israel for what she is. One of America's most valuable allies. The U.S. Congress demonstrated this very powerfully.
77. Ottoman Empire
Israel ,   Israel   (06.05.11)
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen!! So for 500 years there were other religions here no one is arguing with that--DO you know why xtians and muslims came to Israel--thats right because their originator ie Judaism has been calling this a HOLY PLACE given to Jews by G-D! Wow its like that site makes the point perfectly!! And how old is Zionism oh a little over 2000 years old although really since you brought up xtianity and islam--Avram was brought here 5000 years ago so yes 500 years of a foreign presence here does not a nationality or country make--
78. #22 Great idea!
American Sabrah   (06.05.11)
I agree with your proposal. I would be in favor of unity between the Jewish leftists and the Islam-O-fascists to pulverize the State of Israel. Only once the zealous right wing nationalists are out of the picture, the PA will form an alliance with the rest of the Arab world to eliminate the remaining bleed heart self hating suicidal leftists akin to what the Nazis did to the Jewish police/kapos after they turned their fellow Jews in. I am stunned by your brilliance and insight. Or NOT!!! I'm actually amused that you think the left is smart. I don't hate them. I think they are self destructive and pitiful.Most Israelis are not willing to commit national suicide for a fallacy of a peace cause. Our idea of peace is different than the way your ilk interpret it.We are willing to live side by side in peace but we have have a more realistic approach to reality more than you do. According to you, you will never know peace until every Jew is wiped off the planet.Let's not mince words here. Your "open minded peace loving" local mullah's goal is to purge the Middle East of anything Jewish. We don't reject peace. We are not as stupid as you like us to believe. We are well aware of your intentions and we are not about to allow the bloodshed of innocent Israelis to push your agenda for a Caliphate state amongst us. That is the truth,my love ;-)
79. End the occupation ......yes......
Wise Saba ,   Ma'agalim   (06.05.11)
Arabs get your butts off my Jewish land. Jordan is Palestine, go home.
80. To #62
A ,   Long island, ny, usa   (06.05.11)
I guess the word "rabbi" is thrown around too liberally nowadays, it seems. Why am I not surprised you are in Oregon?
81. Salma @14 KOL HAKAVOD
Moragh   (06.05.11)
Come on Salma, it's Sunday now. Can't you go sleep off your Hangover?
82. Interlectuals & Leftists for "Palestine"
tiki ,   belgium   (06.05.11)
I don't understand why 99% of the Jewish "Avocates for Palestine" are usually Askehenazi and offspring of Holocaust survivors and of those who fought the 'murderous Arab mobs over the years. Sephardi Jews, offspring of the Arab Jewish refugees never seem to paricipate in this (death)wish. Mayby because 'they understand the Arab mentality better and know what Arabs 'mean when they want their State of Palestine (which is not only Judea & Samaria). The 'so called Interlectuals and enlightened Leftists of the world always claim to be the 'intelligentia. They certainly could have fooled me..
83. why stop at '67 try '48!
Jewish Whale ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.05.11)
There is already historical precedent that in '48 the borders were attacked and the Jews won, in 67 it happened again- why should the Jewish people put themselves at risk again? Enough Jewish blood has been spilled. There is no occupation- in fact the PA has authority over these regions...the Palestinians already have statehood- elections, their own government etc. Statehood would only give them the right to kill the Jews who live there; that's all.
84. Pack em up in buses and send them to Gaza
Al   (06.05.11)
Useless petz is what I would call them.
85. Why stop at '67, or '48 ? Let's go back to '39
Jonathan   (06.05.11)
Assad seems to them like a nice guy. So is the Hamas. Peace, eh ? Idiots !
86. Sadly Tel Avivians will have to be bombed by Iran ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.05.11)
to wake them, out their suicidal slumber. Why have they forgotten about the people of Sderot? Maybe these people should swap places with Sderoti people and see how pro-'palestinian' they remain. Sick!
87. Rabbi
Jewish Whale ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.05.11)
Anyone can call themselves a rabbi on the internet.
88. trying having a pro israeli demo in egypt,
johanna from tsfat ,   tsfat   (06.05.11)
