1. Carpet bombing countries vs. criminal act of one man...
Miron ,   USA   (10.12.14)
Is there one court in our world that will hold this belligerent warmonger accountable. By the way, he calls himself dove left - winger...
2. It is difficult to comment on Rimon-Or's shrill imaginings
CJK   (10.12.14)
the woman is a radical marxist. she is caught in a web of lies based on so-called anti-colonialist historiography. accordingly, the world is divided between evil white imperial colonialists and their non-white victims. none of these radical marxists ever recognize that arab muslims have been imperial colonialists themselves. their imperial wars lasted for about a thousand years, followed by the five hundred years of muslim ottoman imperial colonialism. islam is an imperial supremacist religion and jihad is an integral part of it.
3. FDR
Jack Rakove ,   Stanford CA, USA   (10.13.14)
Actually there is a fair amount of historical scholarship that shows that the key shift in the position of the US Supreme Court took place before the court-packing scheme was proposed by FDR. It makes more sense to argue that "the switch in time that saved nine" came about because the swing Justice (Roberts) was persuaded that FDR and the New Deal had gained massive public support, not because the Court was under a direct immediate threat.
4. Itiel Ben-Yehuda I love your description of Islam
Stan ,   Israel   (10.13.14)
It's a wonderful world. Islam - black as coal. Judo-Christianity Lily white. But you forgot something. It was the Muslims who allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem 500 years after Bar Kochba's failed revolt. It was the barbaric Crusaders who slaughted Christians in Constantinople and then Jews and Muslims in Jerusalem. Some good did come of the 100 years that the Crusaders spent here. They absorbed some of the advanced Muslim culture of those times. Architecture, medicine, algebra etc. Later, in Spain the Jews lived better under Muslim rule than they did after the Muslims were defeated and expelled. Remember, what goes around comes around.
5. "post-colonial school of thought " ,...
split ,   US   (10.12.14)
Post-colonial? Really" So if that's the case than what do you call your land grabbing and settlement policy? ,... "the IDF maintained the lowest proportion of civilian casualties" ,... One person was a one person too many because the defense brass knew very well from the day one that the boys are dead and it wasn't Hamas but invaded Gaza anyway arresting leaders triggering quassam response. It was an attempt to torpedo hamas-fatah unity move not to find the guilty of murder those three Israelis. This "Russia v Chechnya, NATO during the war in Kosovo, Sri Lanka against the Tamil Tigers", etc. is nothing but smoke and mirrors plus step dancing crap ,...

By the way, in regard to sex slavery per capita you're way ahead of other countries and doing nothing to fight it
7. If Rimon Or finds beheadings refreshing . . .
nibor ,   israel   (10.13.14)
I don't see why she doesn't volunteer to have it done to her. Setting an example is the highest form of morality.
8. Anat Rimon-Or and Zoabi - probably friends.
barbara ,   Haifa   (10.12.14)
I simply cannot comprehend the makings of their minds. Do we have an epidemic of mental illness among us and the world ?
9. Lunatics should be kept under lock & key.
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.12.14)
At least the dangerous ones...
10. it's not what a monster thinks
m   (10.15.14)
It's the access she and others like her have to the minds of our youths. Today education if you can call it that is pure hate israel indoctrination.
