1. At least Grillo has never said that...
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (03.08.13)
...Benito Mussolini was "a great man". So in my book, he's still miles better than Berlusconi.
2. The 'Associated Press' is usually busy bashing Israel
Jake   (03.08.13)
Now suddenly it is nitpicking about anti-Israel and and anti-Semitic remarks by a clown who is in any case legally barred from becoming PM. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
3. His types say/do anything to capture EU Muslim Votes
Alan ,   SA   (03.08.13)
4. If stating another point of view is being antisemitic
Gregg ,   Umbria, Italy   (03.08.13)
then I am a proud antisemitic ! Thank you Beppe for stating the obvious !
5. Strong Jewish response to racists !!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (03.08.13)
The world Jewry needs to develop a stronger response to these ignorant racists and call them what they are, racist morons and liars!! The racist muslims do this all the time and now our Jewish leaders need to respond in stronger terms and call out these racists and make the countries respond in kind. If they don't, G-D help us Jews, racism against Jews is coming back and using the Jews as scapegoats for gentile/muslim incompetency/stupidity in running there failing countries.
6. How soon we forget!
DavidR ,   USA   (03.08.13)
What do we expect from Rome? Had it not been for Rome, Jews would have never been driven out of Yerushalayim. History repeats itself. Remember who was the greatest ally of hitler? The few Jews left in Italy should quickly make Aliyah before it is too late.
7. To be fair to the Italians, Italians have
Zvi   (03.09.13)
come out in large numbers during recent conflicts - including politicians, in many cases, to stand up for Israel. No, that's not this guy. But there are also a lot of decent people with common sense in Italy.
8. Does the rest of the world get to
Clara   (03.09.13)
that Israeli MKs who make anti-Palestinian comments, even call for the forceful deportation of Israeli Arabs, be held to account? Or is this just a jewish privilege over the rest of the world?
9. Israel
Naftali   (03.09.13)
Thank you Gregg #4 It's because of people like you and Beppo tat we have our own country, Israel. Anti-Semites never change.
10. Such sanctimonious outrage...
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (03.10.13)
...over a powerless buffoon in Italy while all one could hear was crickets chirping when anti-Semite Chuck Hegel was appointed Secretary of Defense in the US. This guy Beppo is a powerless clown. Hegel, on the other hand, has obama's ear when push comes to shove on dealing with Iran and Israel's other enemies readying for their next attempt at annihilating the only democracy in the Middle East.
11. Excuse me...?
Jenny ,   NY USA   (03.10.13)
Who....?!? LOL!
12. whoever this loser is? he is blaming
Barney ,   USA   (03.10.13)
his lack of success in USA on "JEEEEWWWS" in hollywood whom generally recognize talent and develop it into a profitable enterprise. Could be no talent there and could be not a clown but a bad joke
13. Ciao, extra israeliano.
extracommunitario   (03.12.13)
14. Truth Hurts
Ron ,   US   (03.12.13)
There we go with the anti-semitic card again. I guess telling the truth is anti-semitic ha??
15. because as always
Paul ,   Brisbane   (03.12.13)
its only ever about the Chosen Ones.
16. No really...Chosen one you should be ashame of yourselves!
Dare you to post! ,   Not near you!   (03.13.13)
The biggest anti-Semites are the Zionist pretending to be JEWS. Shame on you all for bringing shame and hate on Jews....Shame on you!! Have you not learn anything from the Holocaust or from your favorite number "6". ? millions of you have died for nothing! Every single one of them must be having a pep talk with GOD by now...God must be saying " What the ... are you doing my chosen ones"
17. goose and gander
hp ,   usa   (03.13.13)
Yes, but he cries out in existential agony as he says such mean things. Does this count?
18. Grillo's wife
Alberto ,   Italy   (05.09.13)
Maybe it will help you to understand Grillo's stand if you know that his wife is iranian and loyal to Ahmadinejad. Grillo himself justified Ahmadinejad's slaughters of dissidents and gays. He is a wealthy man but his artistic carreer does not seem to expalin it by itself. He is more dangerous than people think.
19. 'Beppe Grillo the comic danger'
Samir S. Halabi ,   Geneva, Switzerland.   (06.11.13)
Beppe Grillo should have his head stoved in and thrown in to the Tiber. Dirty pieces of garbage like him who have shown their deep seated hatred towards the 'Jewish-People' must be taught a lesson once and for all times, which is that you can't keep on targeting Jews for special treatment ie. hate which terminates in death. Let Beppe Grillo be thrown to the lions.
