31. "occupation"
B.Zahn ,   Winnipeg, Canada   (04.23.12)
I find it interesting that after WWII German areas were given to the victors. For example East-Prussia was divided between Poland and the (then) Sovier Union. The German inhabitants of this area had either fled or were expelled by the Russian army. I have not heard a word yet about this "occupation". It seems that the only "occupation" in the world is Israel's. And I thought that the winning side in a war takes the spoils except of course Israel, silly me ...
32. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Steve   (04.23.12)
Why oh why can't we be at peace with the Palestinians and arrive at a solution to this conflict which has plagued us for years? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, their capacity for honesty borders on the non existent, and they wish us dead.
33. Israeli brothers, listen your friends.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (04.23.12)
Brothers and Sisters from Israel. The refered hateful campaign against your State deserves to be repudiated by all decent and conscious people around the world. I say again: we, true Christians and Democrats, are your best friends. We share your fears and your deeds. There are several entities "pro Israel" and I am proud to integrate one. We must be united against common enemies. You may trust us. We only want to collaborate on the scope of Israel's security into a honoured peace. Never confound us with faked and ignorant Anti Semitic clerics. Shame on them. Warm Salutes.
34. They can bark as much as they like
Barry ,   Tokyo   (04.23.12)
they'll still be barking on their deathbeds while Islrae thrives and succeeds beyong all odds... It's tough to be a bitter loser until the end. Just ask the so-called Palestinian Arabs
35. Legitamize the De-legitatizers
Golden Dome ,   Washington USA   (04.23.12)
Facts are facts. Israel is stealing the peace by stealing the West Bank and E. Jerusalem.
36. #2 what bible are you reading???
old lady ,   usa   (04.23.12)
I'm a very old lady and I have spent alot of time reading both old and new covenant and what you spew has no resemblence to the Word of Elohim that I read. I don't call myself a christian anymoore because of people like you, I am a follower of a Jew called Yehoshua. Get you self a better bible or some new glasses with a different worldview. end
37. CONSOLATION: THEY ARE ALL GOING TO HELL !!!!!!
(04.23.12)
38. # 2 gratchke ! Divine nature,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.23.12)
You are divinely insane.
39. "Ideas"
david rabinovitz ,   Brooklyn,N.Y.,U.S.A   (04.23.12)
Rockets from Gaza are hardly ideas
40. Christians for Hamas
david rabinovitz ,   Brooklyn,New York   (04.23.12)
If Hamas takes over the West Bank and part of Jerusalem ,anti-Semitic simpletons like #2 will see how their support of terrorism is reciprocated.You may get an idea by seeing how The Copts are doing in Egypt...I'm hopeful that most evangelicals today see through this anachronistic,metaphysical clap-trap,which dovetails so nicely with Hamas' intention to kill every Jew on the planet.
41. The Nobel Peace Prize
David rabinovitz ,   Brooklyn,New York   (04.23.12)
#18 &21-I hope you're preparing your Nobel acceptance speech-you've obviously got it all figured out.
42. Jarda, read the article again...
AK   (04.23.12)
... then may be you understand it.
43. #30 Anti Zionism is ANTISEMITISM
Sami ,   New York, USA   (04.23.12)
#30 Anti Zionism is ANTISEMITISM. It's a cover. That's all.
44. peter vojta, anti-zionism IS antisemitism
AK   (04.23.12)
Zionism is a self-determination movement of the Jewish nation. It is an expressional of national aspirations of the People living as a hated and persecuted minority in foreign lands, both Christian and Muslim for close to 2000 years, yet retaining their national and religious separate identity. Any denial of the self-determination to that one specific national/religious group, the Jews, can stem ONLY from anti-semitism. Haven't you Czechs, like your neighbors to the north always screamed that you don't want Jews among you. So, where do you want Jews if not among you, not in Israel, in the ovens? Your 'mankind', Peter, is in deep moral swamp.
45. LOL! THEY WILL FAIL!
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.23.12)
As has been the case for 3,000 years, these idiot-losers will fail as all others have failed at repressing or harming the Jews. Its quite laughable and clearly these fools don't learn from history. Whatever they do will fail. They'll all wind up with egg on their face and the lies they spread will be the cesspool they bury themselves in. They'll all be forgotten by name and remembered as a group of stupid thugs with no life or anything of value to pursue. These people are walking VOIDS. LOL! Chai Yisrael! DOWN WITH OUR ENEMIES!
46. The new anti-Semitism
PDave ,   Chicago, IL   (04.23.12)
At last an accurate analysis of the irrational criticism of Israel's legitimacy.
47. The new anti-Semitism
PDave ,   Chicago, IL   (04.23.12)
To #2: Though I am a Christian, I can't quite figure out what you are saying, and if I do understand what you are saying, I don't agree with you. God can use legitimate international agreements to work His will for Israel. The new anti-Semitism is wrong for all the reasons the writer indicates.
48. #25 Indeed, Hoffer was writing about these people
Baruch ,   Houston/Israel   (04.23.12)
If you follow the line, the self hating Jew is one that really won't give of themselves enough to be a Jew. They easily join this quest for childhood and then begin to behave just like the childish bullies they are. The problem is that in the larger scheme of things they are en vogue at this time, so just as their selective inclusion is all the rage, so is their selective and deceptive targeting. Sort of a Terry Gross joins the Brown Shirts movement.
49. Please stop
Uri ,   Boston, USA   (04.23.12)
publishing opinions that campaigns targeting israel are the new anti-semitism. i'm participating in a drinking game wherein i have to take a shot every time one of these is published. for the love of liver, PLEASE stop it.
50. The hate that blinds
I call you out ,   LA CA   (04.23.12)
Funny how Jew haters come here and blame Israel for every problem as if Jews are the ones responsible for all the worlds problems All the while they and the rest of the world are the guilty ones. The Arab world is filled with mysoginists double speakers who lie so much they have lost any since of what is true. Europeans are so insecure they still need to blame and degrade someone to maintain their false sense superiority. The attempt to blame and victimize Jews from the mouths of jealous puss filled haters is comical, Jews now can defend themselves so you will just have to learn to accept your frustration. I think Israel is very safe. You haters can go fourok your selves.
51. The articals problem
Ron ,   OC, US   (04.23.12)
College kids won't read it and the left won't believe it. Too intellectual as spot on as it is. How about a better argument. Israel is a Jew state, period. It was fought for and bled for just like any other state. And fought for and bled for by the most persecuted people on the face of the earth. And, if you don't like it pound sand. Let the left and the fashionable try their luck in Syria or any place else in the Arab/Moslem world.
52. Why liberal Jews oppose Israel
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (04.23.12)
Liberal Jews, specifically American liberal Jews, seek to become citizens of "One World", in the hope that that will bring their acceptance, without anti-Semitism. Israel is symbolic of Jewishness, outright Jewishness, which has excited a torrent of anti-Semitism in a largely anti-Semitic world. The "One World" that the American liberal Jews seek doesn't seem to like Jews any more than the "other world", the real one. the anti-Semitic one. So, to show their "One World" credentials, many American liberal Jews have turned their backs on Israel. That isn't going to work. What will they try next? Conversion to Islam?
53. @12 Sarah B , U.S.A. / Israel - You are not wrong if...
marc ,   belgium   (04.23.12)
... you are a member of the 'Chosen Ones' from father Abram (oldest one). But what about the two other childeren from father Abram, Abraham or Ibrahim? Can i say that there is something wrong in understanding Monotheism today or is Monotheism the way to express politics among the 3 rebellious daughters? Historical, Jeruzalem is the intersection of the Abrahamic religions. PS/ Does it hurte you if i name you a anti-goyimite?
54. palestinians
Wulf ,   Ge   (04.23.12)
Have totally rcognized the state of israel, they have proposed a compromize on jerusalem. israel on the other hand has proposee nothing but a swiss cheese style bantustan on the sa apartheid model
55. #30
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (04.23.12)
Dr. Martin Luther King, one of the world's greatest men, already explained that your "antizionism" is actually antisemitism.
56. @21 Benass, Israel=1 state. Palestine never existed as such.
(04.23.12)
57. New Anti Semitism // old Anti Semitism
tiki ,   belgium   (04.23.12)
It's still Anti Semitism, whatever you call it. It's a genetic disorder inherited through birth, nurtured through mothers milk & developed by educataion. It can be surpressed but it will develop eventually. It's like the flu. You don't know when it will catch you. It can be a 'short illness or it can develop into a Pandemic and will kill many. We are still in the 'short illness fase.
58. Definition of antisemitism in one sentence
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (04.23.12)
Jews are much more talent, innovative, clever and therefore succesful peoples, than non jews, so gentiles are envious about them.
59. Yeah, well ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.23.12)
... it only matters but so much. The fact that non-Jews hate Jews is scarcely news. The difference, however, is that there is a modern State of Israel. Entebbe should have sent the world a message. Buenos Aires should have sent the world a stronger message. If the non-Jewish world is deaf, dumb and blind -- well, that is scarcely our fault. It seems that most of the world has not quite learned to deal with a Jewish state that is powerful and committed to the safety and security of the Jewish people. Well, they had better learn quickly, because Israel is here to stay. As are the Jewish people. Imagine that!
60. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.23.12)
Oh, stuff it already. The Arabs have lost six wars, all which they started. Why require the State of Israel to make deals with the vanquished? When in history has THAT ever happened, and why call upon the State of Israel to do it now? That, in and of itself, is the grossest form of anti-Semitism. See yourself for what you really are.
