Max ,   Lancaster, PA, USA   (06.20.12)
can israelis say 'this is a jewish state, if you want to celebrate christianity or islam, stay in europe or muslim countries'? the last time i checked the netherlands was a democracy that protected the rights of minorities.

6. Victory for common sense?
(06.20.12)
No, its a defeat for the forces in Western societies which demand that Muslims assimilate into Western culture and leave their old ways behind them. These apartheid multicultural societies full of different groups who do not intermarry or even mix socially, has no future. Its a failed experiment.
7. Peter , if there would not have been Jews
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.20.12)
In Europe the last 200 years , this continent would stil be living in the 18th century . Can you imagine Europe without a Landsteiner , Freud , Einstein , Werfel , Tandler , Mendelsohn , Oistrakh , to name only a few . In Europe there is FREEDOM of religion . Who says Freedom , has also to let people observe their commandements , as long they are NOT contrary to the State laws .
8. #1 Sadly
(06.20.12)
Israel the Jewish state also sells pork to please the anti-Torah G-dless Jews.
9. #7 State Laws in Europe, you mean.
(06.20.12)
In Europe there can be freedom of religion, but Israel for Jews only exists BECAUSE of religion, otherwise Jews would have no right to this land. That's why Torah laws are above State laws in Israel and those laws cannot go contrary to Torah laws.
10. 9 , i don't answer to anonymous
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.20.12)
who are religious cowards
11. Nazism
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (06.22.12)
The first anti-Jewish legislation by the Nazis was to abolish shechita as cruel to animals. In Nazi Vienna, when the Jews were rounded up and deported, the equivalent of the RSPCA went arouind collecting and looking after stray dogs and cats left behind by Jews. In both cases people mattered less than animals.
12. #1 except murder
Mickey ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.06.12)
I suppose murdering the Jews is something special that Europe has approved of for centuries
13. #9
Rami ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.06.12)
You obviously know nothing about Israel. There is complete freedom of religion in Israel and state laws are secular. The Torah is the basis for law in many democratic countries
14. Ritual slaughter
Antonie de Vry ,   Winterswijk   (02.20.14)
They call this an attack on Jewish traditions but it is much more. It is not about the Jews but about the animals which are killed in this harsh and terrible way. I have seen video's of these slaughtering s which is more often than not done shabbily as they have so many to kill which means that the animal do suffer. I would have though that Jews knowing the sufferings commit by the Nazis would understand the animals plight but that is not to be sadly. It is written in scripture that we cannot say that we are better than animals, that our spirit goes up and theirs down.....maybe there will be more space for them in heaven as they are the innocent and we the perpetrators.
