1. If the definition of anti semitism =
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (11.20.14)
objecting to Israel's slaughter of 600 semitic (Palestinian) children last summer then all sane people should proudly proclaim themselves as anti semites. European Ashkanazis come and kill semitic Palestinians whoa now things are really turning on their head. Good luck with selling that one.
2. NAZIS ??
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (11.20.14)
Well the Germans would know all about that ....
3. Awesome job done by the Jihado-Nazi Arab propaganda: and it
(11.20.14)
only took them about 30 years! In that time they've invented new "People", and successfully proved George Orwell's assumptions about human stupidity and lack of independent thinking. "War is Peace and Peace is War" indeed!
4. There is NO reason
Shalom ,   Ashdod   (11.20.14)
for ANY Jew to be living in Germany in the first place. How quickly we forget!!
5. Never again.
Albrecht ,   EU   (11.20.14)
To displace people, deprive them of the rights, put inside ghetto and kill them massively for any sign of resistance was and still IS wrong. Each child in Germany lerns: "Never again".
6. Jews and Israel
Jacob Edelman ,   New York,USA   (11.20.14)
We are constantly mixing the two . Jews have rightfully a reason to identify with Israel and they perceive any criticism as anti-semitic. Stop this nonsense ! If the State of Israel is committing acts that the International community condemns and Jews identify with it, it is not anti-semitism. Let us separate anti-semitism from criticism . By repeating anti-semitism like a mantra whenever we feel like it, degrades the true meaning of the word, its scope and consequences and turns it into a "normal" speech pattern.
7. True to Form
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln,USA   (11.20.14)
Anti-Semitic tendencies in Germany what a surprise. I find it rather disturbing and naïve that Israelis want to relocate to such a sophisticated country.
8. Nazism & Islam are the same
Tova ,   Canada   (11.20.14)
Both want to murder Jews and destroy Israel. Then they want to take over the world. Hitler lost and Islam will continue to grow. The holocaust will be repeated and easier to murder Jews and Islam now lives in every country and weapons are more sophisticated. Europe no longer has power over the Jihadists. There is no Churchill, no Thactcher. Obama doesn't understand the evil of Islam. Another holocuast is coming .
9. The Germans are
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.20.14)
the best proof that Charles Darwin was right, humans did evolve from the beast,except,,the beast kills for food while the Germans and their helpers killed for fun.

Please google 'Working Definition of Antisemitism' and read than scroll down to 'English' and continue ,... Following this 'definition' you can pin this crap on anyone you wish and demonize with impunity ,... By the way EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) had removed a 'document' from it's website in 2013 ,... You can imagine who were those authors that managed to implant this crap in EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency policy ,...
11. Never again. Muslims committed to Jihad in Germany.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.20.14)
12. Why are you so blind?
Harri ,   EU   (11.20.14)
If you bomb over 150 mosques in Gaza, you should not be surprised if some people don't like it around the world and some people even get pissed of enough and try to "get even". There is no "kosher" way to kill children or bomb holy places. You don't need to be afraid of Palestinians, because without international support Palestinians don't have any means to threaten you. You should be afraid of your own stupid politicians and international opinion, because no nation can survive alone.
13. The Germans slaughtered 46 members
Al ,   California   (11.20.14)
of my family? Do they think that somehow they have the right to cast any judgment on the people who are surrounded by terrorists on all sides?
14. Twiisted #1
Howard ,   Seattle   (11.20.14)
You really know how to spin and take things out of context.Putting children in FRONT of rockets that are targeting Israeli civilians(including children) and then hiding rockets and firing. them from schools,mosques and hospitals is a WAR CRIME.Israel does not intentionally target children while the Palestinians DO! If you took the time to read what is going on or learn some history you will shed your ignorance and hopefully your hatred.BTW look up Maalot and you can see the Palestinians respect for Jewish childrens lives.
15. what a manipulation of the press!!
Me   (11.20.14)
Criticism of Netanyahu's failing leadership is not anti-semitism, it is patriotic to Israel....Israel and Palestinians deserve peace...their leaders should be all tried for crimes against humanity. Netanyahu and Hanieh should go to jail.
16. Israel vs. Jews
Steve Grumman ,   Tucson, USA   (11.21.14)
Unfortunately and wrongly, too many associate the actions of the government of the state of Israel as being actions of all persons of the Jewish faith. This is a gross oversimplification and it is grossly wrong and unfair to Citizens of other countries who happen to be Jewish. Many Jewish folk in countries other than Israel have no connection whatsoever with Israel and of those people, many want nothing to do with Israel's policies or actions. Jewish people in other countries deserve the respect of their countrymen. And they deserve to be recognized as being just as German (or American, or British, or whatever) as the next person. Their support or lack of support of Israel is of not determined by their religion.
17. #1 Proud Ignoramous
Benji ,   US   (11.20.14)
Once again you show how uninformed you are and how you justify terror against Israel. You should really invest in a TV or computer. Shameful to be an apologist for terror and use the Palestinians for your agenda after you kicked the Mexicans off their land.
18. Nazis???
Rob Lee ,   NYC   (11.21.14)
1) The German's former fuehrer would blow a gasket of anyone compared the Nazis with Zionists which he absolutely loathed. That's a scene I'd love to see enacted on GermanTV perhaps. 2) If Israelis are Nazis they are doing a pathetic job. Using basic1940s German technology the entire Palestinian population would have been wiped out already in less than 6 months. Since 2000 about 5000 Palestinians have been killed in wars they've initiated. That are pathetic numbers for supposed wannabe Nazis.

Wrongly or not as long as you're going to see 'in your face' (despite that we have a real time visual reports) Jewish demonstrations on the streets of New York, London, Stockholm to name few supporting so called 'operations' like Cast Lead or Protective Edge waiving Israeli flag or wrapped in it, that's what you're going to get like it or not. Knowing and working with few Jews like you in the past I feel sad for but that's life ,... By the way my friend with the exception of Neturei Karta, some Jewish lone wolves and a dozen of two websites run by Jews tagged as 'self-haters' by other Jews I don't see any condemnation of Israeli policy of occupation, land grab and ethnic cleansing ,...
20. #19, Israeli right wing magnified in a response to attacks.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.22.14)
I agree that more is needed in "condemnation of Israeli policy of occupation, land grab and ethnic cleansing." But let us also agree that there is way too much threat to Israeli security and the challenges to its right to exist are way too numerous. The right wing in Israel would be much weaker today if Israel wasn't threatened so much. There are very many wonderful people in Israel, actually a majority among Israeli citizens, who reject the right wing opinions and condemn the occupation. They need our support, including yours.
21. really???? :))
les ,   canada   (12.19.14)
oh..yes, i remember now. the reason for german anti-semitism before 1933, and after was also gaza ?????
