given any airtime or importance.

He's not a happy bunny is he? I suspect that one day someone will just shoot him. I trust that he is now banned from entering Israel ever again?

Do not understand that plants have life and feelings too. (Read scientific literature). Eating sprouts is like eating new borns (or may I say foetuses). I can understand vegetarians who may not like the taste and therefore do not eat by choice but to give stupid explanations and comparisons is absolutely illogical. Humans are the only creatures with a sophisticated digestive system to digest meat proteins and vegetables. Our teeth our specially designed for both types of food. Have a look at a cow's teeth, no incisors. Have a look at a tiger's teeth. All incisors. Humans have both. Think Gary think.

Hitler was a vegetarian

"He that is soon angry, dealeth foolishly". Why is this man given an audience? If his actions are contrary to the God of Israel, then why do we care what he thinks, says, or does? He is ... by his actions ... a fool.

Needing URGENT psychiatric treatment. Now I see with my own eyes the scum that you are. I very much hope that your entry to Israel will be banned FOREVER. Who do you think you are physically attacking people who do not think like you?! You are a damn liar saying that you acted in self defense. You cannot control your impulses, it is obvious. I hope you will ready my post and blow your deranged head! And, yes, I do eat meat and this is none of your damn business. Finally, Hitler WAS vegetarian.

I wonder if any of the people I interviewed over 43 years in the news business said those things about me! (I don't think so, because most were willing to talk with me again.) His outburst was totally unwarranted; the interviewer was quite polite and gentle. His only mistake was one easy to make: falling into a debate with the interviewee instead of asking the guy to explain his beliefs. Oh, BTW: Hitler was, indeed, a vegetarian. He would twit those around him, eating soup with meat, about eating "corpse soup."

lunatic

eating animals or wearing their hides causes us to be aggressive but eating vegetables and wearing their skins causes us to be pacifists, or so we are to believe. unfortunately, many simple people believe this crap but 'l'ma'asah' it is not true. 'proof is in the pudding'

Unbelievable how ynetnews now acts like international media by twisting the facts for its own point of view in order to make someone or some country look bad. In this case, to make GAry look bad. Gary was arrested in Canada for releasing a large number of wild minks that were captured and kept in inhumane conditions prior to their being killed (murdered) in order to make fur. He was put in prison. Then following this ENgland also banned him. Nobody knows how provocative ynet reports were towards him and his side was not publicized and should be. Reporters making claims about Hitler also being a vegetarian, is obnoxious and frustrating as they are ignorant, did not do their homework, did not know anything but rumors by holocaust deniers. In addition, even if it were try, so what? There is no connection to the fact that one crazy, evil mass murderer is a vegetarian to the reasons one should go vegan. What are all vegans now equivalant to Hitler. And if they used thatreasing then what does it now say about meat eaters, as Hitler was a meat eater. Extremely stupid argument. Gary has a short temper, swore, got angry, I agree. Negative character traits. But this article really tries hard to show him as much much worse than reality. Shameful.

And realize that his words were condescending and insulting not only towards Mr Yourofsky but also towards all vegans. The stupid argument about Hitler being a vegetarian has been used and abused against vegans ad nauseam and Mr Kotler did not miss a beat repeating it. Jews are too damn sensitive about the holocaust and comparing it to the plight of animals does not take anything away from the Jewish tragedy. In fact animals suffer even more and there should be no penalty for showing the parallels with it. In legalese terms this could called entrapment as I am sure Mr Kotler knew very well what he was doing especially since Mr Yourofsky had just left the police station where obviously he was grilled and harassed by Israel's "best" .At the end of the day the mountain has given birth to a very small mouse.

Or as one of my French lecturers used to say (in Clouseau accent)" Zis man he is not very well in his shoes."

He is an honest man who is upset by the terrible conditions inherent in factory farming . Animals are treated cruelly and the slaughtering isn't humane. This can all be verified by viewing PETA videos.There is a lot of misinformation about the subject. Gary was apparently provoked and therefore, he reacted as he did

But seriously, Ynet, why give him a platform?

Hitler's vegetarianism --and (tsk tsk) flatulence--are well documented by contemporary reports----He was also a dog lover, but neither of these are a moral statement about vegetarians or dog lovers in general.

Jews don't slaughter pigs and although the Torah permits animal flesh to eat, we must follow the Torah's concept of slaughter. Anyway, the video showed wonderfully two sides of a nut-case: one composed before the camera, and two, when he thought the camera was off, we saw a raging lunatic. Thanks Ynet, loved it.

He liked the image that vegetarianism gave him and thought it would reflect well on the country if Germans adopted the practice, but he ate meat behind closed doors.

Arrogant, superioristic, thinks he's better than everyone else, temperamental. In other words a real jerk. PS he'll read my post and punch his fist through his computer screen! lol

It's not relevant whether Hitler was or was not vegetarian. It is a good point that we are as cruel to animals as the Nazis were to their victims. They constructed factories of death for the Jews and we construct factories of death for animals, and we care little if the animals suffer in the process. The only differentiation point is that one was done to people and what we're doing is being done to animals. But we are part of the animal kingdom, and we all feel pain.

The author tries to portray general facts without giving the readers all the information. This is in order to promote his particular feelings, but not the truth. Gary was arrested because he released mink who were caught and were about to become furs. He was then called an economical terrorist and Canada and England made him a persona non grata. Kirschenbaum stupidly claimed then that lettuce eating people become violent (hard to believe, but he actually did say this), and then said even more stupidly, that he had been considering becoming a vegetarian but now wouldnt because of Gary. Rather pathetic reason. GAry should not of behaved badly, I agree. But the reason one becomes a vegan is because of his own personal values, and desires, and nothing GAry does, can change a person to a meat/ dairy eater. Oh and by the way: Biographers who wrote about Hitler (and who knew him quite well on a personal basis) openly describe his love for Bavarian sausages and game pie ("game" meaning wild meat from birds and other creatures). • Hitler's own chef openly talked about Hitler's love for stuffed pigeon. • In none of Hitler's speeches or writing did Hitler state he was a vegetarian or speak in favor of vegetarianism. • Hitler was regularly given injections of a protein serum made from the testicles of a bull -- not exactly a treatment that would be tolerated by vegetarians. • None of Hitler's lieutenants were vegetarians, nor was vegetarianism promoted in any way in the Nazi party.

They smuggled the pregnant mother in with no clue as how the cubs needed to be cared for. They fed the cubs cow's milk from a bottle instead of letting the mother nurse them, and they died two days later. Why aren't you there? The animals in Gaza need your help.

Why is it even relevant that hitler was a vegetarian or not If hitler living room was painted in blue so we should not have blue anywhere???? The industrialization and mass killing of animals could be somehow compare the Jews extermination i It is not rare to hear that nazis were sending Jews to the slaughterhouse

The vegetarians don´t like hearing Hitler was a vegeterarian so they try to rewrite history like other historian revisionists do to hide truth. Also, many vegetarians think they are better people than meateaters and more peaceful. Well both Hitler and the clip of Yourofskys violent behavior show thats wrong.

"Man is likened to the tree of the field". "As long as Man slaughters animals, Man will continue to slaughter Man". I doubt whether the people who deride vegans and Gary in particular are capable of contemplating and understanding the profundity and reconditeness of these two statements. The first is attributed to Hazal and the second came from the lips and mind of a great man called Leo Tolstoy. I do not make apologies for Gary's behaviour, he is way out of line. Man is a disgusting and irresponsible creature when it comes to matters of sharing this planet with the other species. and for not taking care of it for future generations. Animal husbandry, as practiced today, will come back to hit Man in the face, in fact it already is doing so, in the form of all the modern ailments which Man is guilty of inflicting upon himself. Anyone who has a basic understanding of anatomy, biology and physiology can only come to one conclusion. Animal protein is detrimental to the human body. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial. It is similar to the smoker, who in order to justify, will say, "my Granny lived to be 95 and smoked two packs a day". To one granny in a thousand it happens, just as one in a thousand human carnivores will not suffer from the consequences of his actions, obesity, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer to name but a few. The truth is staring us in the face, but we, in our stupidity, will continue to deny, all for the debatable "pleasure" of consuming carcasses and their by products. I wish you all a pleasant day and a pleasant continuing journey through life. Science and understanding lead to reason and logic, and in turn to a healthy and happy life. Hitler has nothing whatsoever to do with this debate.

So what? He probably farted and took dumps like all of us

fanatical veggies as well as vegetarians are in the end, fascists. Are they against meat-eaters or maltreatment of animals? I, personally, choose to eat meat as it is my decision and freedom to choose...is that what makes angry the veggies??? comparing the slaughtering of animals for eating with the Holocoust is insulting and show how deep ignorance and hate is...veggies just suck!
