Observer   (06.20.11)

Mike L ,   Royal oak, MI   (06.20.11)

4. Spielberg Jewish Israel Needs U. Where the Hell R U?
(06.20.11)
5. Great!!!
Moises ,   Argentina   (06.20.11)
This kind of reaction over any antisemitic commentary anybody might have said does nothing but make people believe we own the world and its main effect is to help the antisemitic cause. Please stop this nonsense!!! Do not feed antisemitic lies!!! Fight true antisemitism!!! This kind if stupidity does not help our Jewish cause at all.
6. S. Spielberg did a good thing .
Moshe ,   Usa   (06.20.11)
7. Good job Steven!
david ,   uk   (06.20.11)
This Fox girl is such a fake bitch
8. American anti semite, millions more where that came from
Dorothy and Sophia   (06.20.11)
9. This is why people hate Jews and the anti-semitic card
Aharon   (06.21.11)
Too often Jews focus on the small things like someone referring to another as "Hitler" or calling something like the "holocaust." The only thing this does is upset people who had no intention of saying anything anti-semitic, and they are afraid that whatever they say may be labeled as such. We as Jews should be mindful of our past and people who try to destroy us, but we should also not be too sensitive.
10. Number 8
M.Gerald Fried ,   Skokie il   (06.21.11)
We will get you one at time no matter how long it takes.By way don't accept any medical discoveries by a Jew,don't use your cell phone or computer both results of Jewish engineering. Don't take certain medicine result of Jews. Don't take polo shot result of another Jew.in other words let's see what quality of you life would be without Jews.
11. Now he is worried about Anti-Semitism?
NS ,   Long Island, NY   (06.21.11)
In the movie Transformers 2, Israel was virtually wiped off the map. The group led by the star Shia LaBeoff went from the Pyramids in Egypt to Petra in Jordan as if they have a common border. I do believe there is a third country inbetween Egypt and Jordan called Israel and Spielberg and Bay made it disappear. If that is not anti-Semitism I don't know what is.
12. fired
austin ,   LA, USA   (06.21.11)
It is Speilberg's money, his show, he gets to do what he wants. Maybe that was the straw that broke the camels back.who knows.
13. and this is why people hate the Jews
k ,   US   (06.21.11)
yeaa lets fire everyone who makes a dumb comment, people like Spielberg and Foxman do more to get people to hate the Jews then any modern day Nazi could dream of
14. Let's be clear. I do NOT think her commits antisemetic
(06.21.11)
and I do think that IF Spielberg wants to help Jews he will help Jewish-Israel's PR. This Megan Fox story is timed to bring interest to the new Transformers movie. Nothing more, noting less.
15. #4: Where is he?
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (06.21.11)
Making movies like 'Munich' that make Israeli's look unethical and incompetent.
16. These movie stars make millions.
noa ,   israel   (06.21.11)
The least they can do is behave.
17. if I known any beter I would say she is blond
ghostq   (06.21.11)
calling someone Hitler while one of your bosses is jewish is totaly stupid.
18. to #9 only in USA, in other parts of this planet
ghostq   (06.21.11)
people see it quite harshly to refer someone as Hitler.
19. I read she acts like a prima donna on set
Talula ,   Israel   (06.21.11)
and they were glad to kick her off the movie. Well done Steven - I love a man with so much power! YUMMY!
20. jews of america speak when it comes to syria and egypt but..
robert ,   tinsletown, CA   (06.21.11)
when it comes to israel even israeli born jews keep thier mouth shut. from barbara and spielberg to natalie protman everyone remain silence. i'm not one of them. although i'm a liberal, just like my parent and my grandparents i will do anything in my power to save israel from the up coming treat. this is our time now, there won't be a second chance!
21. spilberg and jews of america forgot what it means to be a
sad israeli   (06.21.11)
real jew. they are seculars, most of them practice bodahisem and know nothing about jewish holidays (except for hanucka, thanks to adam sandler). they can believe what ever they want i'm not complaining about that. but they, unlike their parents, won't be there for israel in the next "yom kipur war". why would they? they know nothing about the yom kipur war. the ignorance is what drive them to stick with the palis....
22. this happened when? and fox is a nothing anyways
(06.21.11)
so we care about this why again?
23. #1 A RIDICULOUS COMMENT
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.21.11)
from one who is pretending to Observe that hasn't lost any of his family due to Hitler's Holocaust Jews are senstive to what happened when Hitler was in power, any idiot, including you, should have realized that
24. Megan Who? Never heard of her!!
ASM ,   Australia   (06.21.11)
But I do know Spielberg is a proud Jew, so we must be proud of him (and his typical Jewish Genius!!).
25. Probably fired her for being an arrogant, insufferable b----
(06.21.11)
and this was the last straw or finally an excuse that would stand up in court.
26. Good for Him
Ron ,   OC, US   (06.21.11)
She should go to work for Mel Gibson.
27. Megan Fox
DA OAK ,   Los Angeles   (06.21.11)
It was Michael Bay's Call and he was not offended. Jewish or not Bay is on set, his call!
28. Fight "the small" remarks,,,
Anshel ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.21.11)
Remember Rudolph Gulliani, the former NYC mayor? His motto was, fight the "small" things to prevent the "big" things and the result has been a cleaner and safer New York. Same goes here, no one has a right to compare a descent human being to Hitler, it is the ultimate insult and has no place coming out of the mouth of well known actress, she should have apologized in the first place(if she did not) for all the Americans who paid the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Hitler and his allies. We need more Spielbergs and less "sissies". There are other ways to argue a cause, more civilized, anything wrong with that, even if her name is Megan Fox? By the way, people hate and hated Jews, just for being a Jew, the history proved it many times. The argument that Spielberg's action may triggered the anti-semitic card doesn't hold any water. And it takes to be sensitive, we don't have to bend our backs anymore.
29. #9 and #13
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (10.16.12)
According to your twisted logic, we should all be hating Blacks and gays for the same reason. Offensive comments are simply that and should be treated as such. It's not like he put a fatwa on the actress like they'd do in other parts of the world.
