as i watch these horrible images of jews being expelled from their lawful homes in eretz yisrael by other jews, i do not consider the holocaust comparisons to be inappropriate. the fact that it is a jewish govt doing it makes it a thousand times worse than when non-jewish govts have done it to us. and now we are showing them "hey, it;s all right to kick jews out of their homes." what will you say when they come to expel you from kfar saba? (chas v'shalom!)

Jeez, this is unbelievable... your very existence hinges on the U.S. support. yet you dare to bite the giving hand. Its thanks to our support of your lazy asses that you are still alive!

What a shame. Daniel Harrison has more kedusha and love for eretz yisrael in his pinky than you do in your entire body. Whether he is living in a "fancy" house in the states or not. You think money grows on trees in the US, well, it's not showering down on all of us. You take for granted a lot - including the sacred ground you walk on every day. Don't befault Daniel or try to belittle him just because you cannot see the forest for the trees. FYI Roy, if you are afraid of living amongst 2 million Arabs, you should really be concerned about them having a water port and control of the borders. The security of Israel is in no better shape now for the pullout, believe you-me.

I wish that we Arabs could be treated softly, like this, by our authorities when we are angry! your IDF and your police are so civilized guys and you should be proud of them ! I can`t wait that peace prevails and that we can learn from you more...

You seem to be a nice person. You are welcomed i this forum. Don' t listen sutpid Yoel . We understand you. Nous vous comprenons. Schlomo Mizra ins certainenely not an israeli but an Arab who is against you because you like Israel Shalom !

it means that sometimes G-d's answer is No. just because we ask for something does not mean we deserve it. G-d is always just and right.

"Don' t listen sutpid Yoel" I read your entire message and... I take it as a friendly remark from U. I wasn't laughing at him... just wanted to behave cordially and be helpful.

The only one cheapening the Shoah is you, who are minimizing the horrible persecution of Jews by claiming it was only a tangential goal of the Nazis. You are a disgrace to democrats and to the entire human race. But of course you think you are right and everyone else is a fascist.

your talkbacks are fresh spring water in the burning desert.

Today I felt more pain than on Tisha B'Av [that is painful to acknowledge]. When will we be blessed with the vision to look beyond our self-imposed divisions and conduct ourselves with the kiddusha befitting our Nation? I feel the loss of the Beit haMikdash that should reside in each and every Jew's heart we witnessed today what that loss leads to [everyone played a negative roll]. May we be blessed to see the error of our ways and to make teshuva as a nation.

Well then chaver,ta-azov et ha-aretz,because it's people like you that become very dangerous for the rest of the citizens, that believe in the IDF,You never did complain when they protected you from the multitude of wars that the arab nations have waged on Israel.So I sujest that you think twice before saying such stupid .remarks

could you now say that in english.

No one can compare the Warsaw ghetto or anything made by the nazis to what Israeli Army and police is doing, according to votes made by Israeli elected MPs. Such comparison is revisionism, it will be taken back by the worst antisemites. Such comparison should be punished. And go to Yad Washem, read Primo Levi or any serious book about the Shoah, see Shoah of Claude Lanzman. In one word : learn about what the nazis did and you will stop to write stupid things !

If this guy is for real ,I take my hat off to you.There has been a lot of words spoken on this particular sensitive subject,and it is the first time that someone has mentioned the tough ordeal the majority of the IDF are going thru.And these sage words come from a non jew.The majority of these IDF soldiers,are reacting with such sensitivity under these terrible circumstances,& a non jew has the sensitivity to notice it,He is so right when he states that "he wishes that we arabs could be treated softly by our authorities,when we are angry".How true.and regarding the statements made by Nick from Algeria,if I understand correctly,he too shows compassion,well all I can say is KOL HAKAVOD."ALL THE HONOUR IS WITH YOU.

may i ask if you are by any chance "BERBER"from KABILY if you are,I understand,your words.

Gadi...please read again my post. If u think i am tryin to cheapen the shoa, either u are reading wrong or u just don't want to understand the post. If u r happy thinking the main goal of nazis was getting rid of jewish, go ahead....but the truth is that their goal was geeting rid of much more than jews (leftists amongst them). I kindly ask you to read the post again, and if i expressed myself bad (english is not my mother language), i truly apologize....how could anyone minimize the assassination of 6 million people? To post 83. You're jewish, so u have never tried to convert. So, let me tell you the first thing my rabbi told me "in israel they think they're jewish just becouse they talk hebrew, but in my eyes, they're not"...nice, eh? only orthodox convertions fully accepted (and orthodox took the same scale as nazis to mesure your jewishness...up to 25% of jewish blood to get israeli citizenship)...and i am not inventing this...this is something you can check by yourself. Personally, i think judaism is not only a religion, is much more than that, igger than that...but as long as u have someone who decids who is a good one, and whatsoever measures to determine "how" jewish u are, there's something wrong in the system. Someone who has commited any crime, r has no qualification at all for a job, etc, etc, is considered by orthodox to be more suitable for israel just becouse of his religion, and that's a fact. By the way, extreme left was hardcore comunism, who wasn't very distant from nazism. If believing that democracy is freedom of choice and equal rights for everyone despite sex, religion, race,..., free education, health, help for unemployed, for single mothers and so on, yes, then i am an extreme leftist on your eyes. Anyone accusing me of antisemitism is lying, ...but some of you seem to have fun tagging as antisemitism any critizism of israel. Jews expel jews, jews kill jews, jews cheat on jews, jews spit on jews...jews throu acid upon jews...yes...like in any other religion and civilisation, your religion doesn't keep you away from evil... And you like or not gadi, those living in luxury flats by the beach, with swimming pools, with tax reductions and government help, those my friend, are the ones minimizing hashoa comparing themselves to those 6 million who were trapped in the worst destruction machine that humanity has ever seen. Shalom everyone. שלום לישראל

Don't make Israel out to be some welfare state - Considering that the Jewish population wasmostly setteled by Holocuast survivors, Russians, other various refugees and idealists within the last 3/4 of a century it is doing well. Considering that the country for the last 60 years has been constantly been picked on by enimies from within and outside it is pretty amazing that the economy is thriving as it is (most tech exports per capita in the world). Don't make the peop[le in Gaza out to be freeloaders either. The govt (under Sharon) provided subsidies b/c they wanted them to move there. The people ther have taken a crappy strip of sub - shahran desert and created many thriving industries including cutting edge desert agriculture. Yes we get support from the US - are we the only ones. And belive me - Israel is more important for the US tahn you can imagine. i.e. - Iraq reactor bombing - if not for that you may not be around to psot your uneducated banter.

HUY - Do us all a favor and read a book on Israeli History, world history, international relations, polotics, etc. Then think a bit...think about your comparision between some rich americans who lost a bit of the fat nest egg b/c Cisco went down - just to go up again and then all of the finacial bubbles, criseses and scandals that the American people perpetuate upon themselves and the problems of the Israeli people who can't be left alone to live on thier little sliver of land the size of Metro Chicago. Then feel free to come back and post something intelligent.

I have been following this Huy bashing and am enjoying it. As a Christian I have always admired the Jewish ability to argue and analyze issues - Gary I think you hit the nail on the head.

Nobody is perfect Steven! Iam not Jew but I appreciate Jews so much and I wish, as I said before, that we will have normal and close relations with Israel as soon as possible...Merci steven pour tes compliments, j`en suis ravi et j`espere qu`Israel sortira forte de cette crise et que les opposants au retrait de Gaza sachent que la vraie paix ne vient pas sans des concessions douleureuses... Avec toute mon amitie. Adel. proudtoon@yahoo.com

The anarchists on the roof of the Kfar Darom Synagogue that were just taking advantage of the situation should all be charged and sent to jail for 5 years.

Fine job Yishai. Most people here do not know facts and are disconnected to reality. The truth must be shouted on rooftops.

It was a complete fabrication, it turns out that there was no acid. The stinging substance was pain thinner.

Yosi is right. It's been publicized that the whole acid was a fabrication. Ynet must retract its statement and get rid of the header that states there was acid in order to remain believable at all. Journalism requires reporting, not propaganda.

Even if it wasn't acid, what gives the settlers the right to throw thinners at soliders anyway ?

Why do you keep reporting that they threw Acid, when it has been verified that it was NOT Acid. The soldiers didn't even know why they were taken to hospital!!

If you are a Jew what are you doing outside of Israel. The Jews are expelling Jews becase there are not enough Jews in Israel. If you are againt the withdrall then come to Israel and there will never be another withdrall in Israel again, because the rallies will be bigger and the people that run for the cnesset that are good will get more votes and get in. Why didn't you people come to Israel when Rabbi Meir Kahane said to. He died trying to get you people to move to Israel. Please move to Israel before there is no Israel to move to cause it will be Palistine. I am 11 years old and I know that if you don't come soon there won't be an Israel. I wish there was a govermant and prime minister that I can admire. With Love Of Israel Dov Jacobs

The above photo depicting a renegade band of Hebrews making a last stand high upon a ledge is symbolic. Only this time it is not by Rome, it is by their own tribe. Europeans came in and partitioned the land and set once peaceful communities against each other after WWI and even now. Just look at "India" But wait...Israel was granted a partition to absorb the ones that escaped the death camps. The last stand of the Jewish people's to survival is a soverign country. The world has proved to be merciless and the Jewish people are here are literally fighting for their survival. The imagery of a Massada is thus compelling. Israel is in a weak position and retreating. Surrounded by fanatically hostile armies, torn by civil strife, the fabric of the culture rended by reconstructionists. What other country has been forced to give-up land to establish a nation of sworn terrorists? France, Germany, the USA? It seems that Israel is does not enjoy full sovernity, but is really an annex to the USA or perhaps the New World Order of the United Nations. What if there was some land that could be granted to Israel as soverign territory. For example Russia has zillions of square miles. Of course being determined Israel will survive, but under constant fear of a terrifying defeat as almost happened under Gold Meir. What glory to see Israel thrive and rebuild the temple! I The Arabs could trade their rabid hatred for constructive cooperation and they would prosper as well. Who knows the evil that lurks in the hearts of men (and women, to be pc of course), the shadow knows. Is this Massada again? Hardly, but the symbology is persuasive.

My point in the above post is that Israel's retreat is defeat and it would be better to find another place to call home.

I cannot believe that you have reported this media fabrication. It has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was NO acid used by the protestors. The so-called acid you show in the video colored blue is actually the spray used by the IDF and police against the protestors. The acid claim has been refuted by the police commander on scene as well as medical personnel at Soroka Hospital. Come on, your bias is showing.
