Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.26.11)
Invite some Germans to celebrate Hitler's birthday?

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.26.11)
a Seder for the Jews Everything will be Halall to conform with tradtions
4. WHY?...
Charles ,   Paris, FRANCE   (08.26.11)
...When was the last time a Muslim ambassador hosted a break fast after Ticha b'Av or other Jewish fast day?
5. Ivan South Africa
26.08.11   (08.26.11)
Have you also joined the band of A-lickers?
6. HOSTING FOR RAMADAN ??
mark ,   T.a. israel   (08.26.11)
WHY WE ALWAYS HOST THEIR RELIGIOUS FEASTS AND THEY NEVER HOST OUR RELIGIOUS FEASTS ?? THIS SHOWS OUR SPIRIT OF DHIMMIES OR SECOND CLASS INDIVIDUES THINKING !!
7. #2
(08.26.11)
What's the matter with you?
8. America will be ISLAMIC IN ten years. Delta Air is sharia
(08.26.11)

Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (08.26.11)
muslim americans..
10. Obama hosted a Seder
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.26.11)
Then he twisted the knife deeper into our back
11. Michael Oren is an historian. My gosh.
Steve Klein   (08.26.11)
Ambassador Oren, please look up this term: "Dhimmitude: The Status of Non-Muslim Minorities Under Islamic Rule."
12. Coptic Christian bravely resist dhimmitude.
Steve   (08.26.11)
News report: "Egyptian churches announced on Thursday their rejection of a protest scheduled for next Friday to demand the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador to Cairo." Meanwhile, Ambassador Oren bows to Islamic supremacy.
13. Will he be fasting on Yom Kippur
Jackie ,   Florida   (08.26.11)
Anice gesture, I suppose, but I wonder whether he will be fasting on Yom Kipppur
14. Ramadan Feast for the gluttons
Achmaddy the Iranian   (08.26.11)
I would expect something like that from Peres but definitely not Michael Oren. Who next (Israeli) will jump on the bandwagon?
15. Let it not be said that we don't try...
citizen   (08.26.11)
However, as long as the Muslim clerics continue to preach hate and destruction of the Jewish people and Israel, no Iftar dinner at the White House or Israeli Embassy will change a thing.
16. #2 Terry....I agree!!
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.26.11)
17. Terry the terrible
David   (08.26.11)
Why do you ask what is the matter with that person? read his daily talkbacks and you will understand that YNET seems to have decided, that this nut is Vox Populi. Doesn't reflect too well on YNET's editing talents.
18. Why not just move in with them in Gaza?
joe ,   canada   (08.26.11)
19. Funny the first moment I heard of this dufus
Al   (08.26.11)
I figured he is a putz on steroids. Israel could have been. In efect it is becoming a failed Jewish State. It is failing as it clearly refuses to defend the Jews(recent bombings of the south) and the Jewish nature of the state. I wish you all much happiness. I'd rather live amongst the goyim in the friggin golus than live amongst morons.
20. Meanwhile, Egyptians are pulling down Israeli flag in Cairo.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (08.26.11)
These friendly gestures are generally one way - gestures to Arabs and Muslims - and are rarely reciprocated. You want gestures? Egyptians violated Israeli sovereignty in Cairo - the Israeli embassy and residence - and pulled down the Israeli flag.
21. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.11)
With all due respect ambassador, but do you really have to kiss Muslim ass?
22. Appeasement doesn't work,has no one figured that out yet...
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.26.11)
Being nice makes the muslims think you're weak... They're still going to hate Jews and Americans...and everyone else that doesn't pray towards mecca 5 times a day like a bunch of pre-progammed robots.. Wake up...
23. Is this was a EU government hosting, the talkbacks would be
Dorothy and Sophia   (08.26.11)
different, hateful spiteful, xenophobic maybe at this point even 100 talkbacks.. Some Americans are such hypocrites.
24. to stupid 21
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (08.27.11)
You are in awe of Sarah B.Dream on wanker.
25. Israeli ambassador hosts Ramadan dinner
Michael ,   nyc usa   (08.27.11)
A smart move. A very smart move. we need more of this.
26. #20 Raymond
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.26.11)
At this rate, if the newly re-ignited animosity continues, we'll wind up pulling down the Aswan High Dam as a reciprocal action
27. wonder if he will be
sas ,   israel   (08.27.11)
invited for a rosh hashana dinner????? a waste of time and money. But he finally got his name in the newspaper. Something we RARELY see as the last thing he does and interests him is representing Israel........How he ever got appointed is UNKNOWN. There certainly were/are far better candidates.
28. #27 sas At this rate
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.27.11)
An Imam will be asked to lead the Kol Nidre service
29. I am wondering what fasting for?
Wang Zuli ,   Shanghai   (07.21.12)
We Chinese are never fast. But we are healthiest and and most intelligent people ever. Why fast? Why? Why?
