1. The purpose of the people behind Machover is simple:
Boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (09.13.05)
To punish the Israeli army, its soldiers and officers, for doing their job, and defending, successfully, the well-being of Israeli civilians. It’s a simple division of labor. The Palestinian mass murder organizaions, PLO, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic jihad, etc. punish Israelis for being alive. Palestinian ‘humane rights’ organization wish to punish the IDF for the denying the basic ‘humane right’ of killing Jews whenever they like to.
2. Not surprised at all
NCjews ,   NC, USA   (09.13.05)
the UK is an arab country. It has deep history of anti-Semitism. Just read the Magna Carta of 1215. It "forgave" the lords all the debts that they owed to the Jews. The British are lap dogs of the arabs including the Fakestinians. The bombings only made them hate the Jews even more. After all, whenever anythign in the world that's bad occurs, it has to be the fault of the Jews -- including the Tsunami, Katrina, 9/11, 7/7, etc. Israel should issue arrest warrants for British war criminals such as the generals who fought in Northern Ireland and the pols who empowered them. Tit for tat!
3. what a solid human being
edward ,   las vegas   (09.13.05)
i have never heard of this machover guy before, but he is the type of man we should all strive to be. fair, just, and sees past color of skin or race or religion. he sees injustice in this world and fights for it, what a hero. this is the type of person who should be serving the supreme court. what an inspiration
4. JEW-HATERS DON'T WANT JEWS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM TERROR
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.13.05)
The Jew-hating British want Israel to accept over 27,000 terror attacks against Israel's Jews in the last five years want Israel to do NOTHING. The Jew-hating British want Israel to accept the thousands of Jews who have been maimed and murdered and want Israel to do NOTHING. WHY ARE THE BRITISH NOT FILING CHARGES AGAINST: Palestinian Authority Minister Mohammed Dahlan in charge of coordinating the withdrawal with Israel-terror master who is responsible for the bomb attack on the Israeli school bus in November 2000 in which two school teachers were killed and three children from the Cohen family lost their legs. All those responsible for financing, training, arming and sending out Islamic homicide bombers to blow up Jews and destroy the lives of survivors who have nails and other metallic objects from the bombs embedded in their bodies and brains. The Palestinian Authority for teaching through their mosques, media and public education system the murder of Jews is a religious obligation. The Palestinian Authority for hailing as heroes the savage terrorist murderers of defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother, Tali Hatuel, and four little daughters. The PA for the sermon (and many similar) of Oct 13 2000 broadcast from Gaza mosque, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..." Genocide and/or planned genocide breaks international law. British Jew-haters don't want Jews defending themselves. They are despicable and evil..
5. MACHOVER AND VANUNU -
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (09.13.05)
THEIR NAMES IN HBREW LETTERS SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME NUMERICAL VALUE IN GAMMATRIA. ON A SERIOUS NOTE: HOW MANY JEWS HATE THEMSELVES SO MUCH THAT THEY BETRAY THEIR OWN KIND? WITH "BRETHREN" LIKE THIS, WE DON'T NEED ENEMIES!
6. I thought the british food drove him away-fish n chips-yuch
Benjamin ,   london   (09.13.05)
7. IS THE MOSSAD SLEEPING (again) ?
(09.13.05)
The Mossad knew before to deal with this kind of situation. They stopped the PLO terrorist boat that wanted to mimic the Exodus in the 80's.now the Mossad seems to sleep
8. Self-hating Jew
Gershon ,   Jerusalem   (09.13.05)
Machover isn't a human rights activist, he is a self-hating Jew who doesn't realize the same people he is trying to have arrested are the same ones who have been protecting the family he abandoned in Israel
9. Machover Will Have To Arrest Every US General Too
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (09.13.05)
This British "Jewish" lawyer is indeed involved with one of the most virulent self hating groups in Israel through the notorious left wing Yesh Gvul. He should stop threatening IDF generals, because soon he will have to arrest the US generals on "war crimes". The Islamists in Britain - of whom he is a toady AND a useful idiot - consider US actions in Iraq as war crimes too. Is he ready to take on Bush & Co.? I suspect he will be put out of business soon by outside forces. (US heavyweights who will agree with my assessment)
10. Two Can Play This Game
Dan Friedman ,   NYC, USA   (09.13.05)
Simply file similar charges against PA/PLO officials in UK courts and obtain arrest warrants against them in the UK. That'll put a stop to the nonsense.
11. Machover Should Be Careful Who He Toadies For
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (09.13.05)
If I could smack Machover across his face I would gladly do so.
12. Mr. Machover
Gil Borman ,   Detroit USA   (09.13.05)
While attorney's are supposed to represent their clients zealously, Mr. Machover is guilty of not knowing the intentions of his client, or worse, not caring. . As the burning Synagogues of Gaza clearly illustrate, Mr. Machover is colluding with people who intend to destoy Israel. If he wants to find some racism and apartheid, he can ask his clients why antiquities, and synagogues fair so poorly under the great cause of Palestinian self governance. The deaths of civilians in the Shahedeh bombing, Gen. Almog's supposed "crime," were caused by who Shahedeh, in contravention of the Geneva convention, hid his operation among civilians. As for Machover, his sly refusals to admit just how radicalized and anti Israel his personal agenda is speaks worlds of a man who would take such a case from such "clients."
13. Arrest for a Civil Action? Interesting laws in "democracy"
(09.13.05)
14. THE BRITISH ARE THE ONES WHO NAMED OUR LAND "PALESTINE"
(09.13.05)
15. This self-hating jew is a despicable person.
ls ,   israel   (09.13.05)
16. It's time to declare that,,
Uri ,   Ramat Aviv   (09.13.05)
the Jewish/Israeli Left are our Terrorists. Just as Muslims have Al Queda, Hamas, etc., Jews/Israelis have Mordechai Vanunu, Daniel Machover, Shulamit Aloni, the Israeli professorship, Haaretz, There are borders (Yesh Gavul), Meretz, Amira Hass, Ilan Pappe, Uri Avnery, "Gush Shalom," Peace Now, Amnesty International.. and that's only a minuscule fraction. It's time to admit that these anti-Semitic Jewish/Israeli extremists are OUR Terrorists, and henceforth should be considered in the ranks of Hamas, and Al Quada....after all, they have the same agenda, don't they? No matter how hard I try, and how much I use my open mind, I just can't comprehend how these people hate themselves and Jews with such a passion. Perhaps the 'Self-Hatred' theory is really true.
17. In the 1940's there was another name for people like Machove
Nathan Jacobson ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.13.05)
The name at the time was "Kapo". In the same way that the scum of the earth served their German masters to stay alive and better themselves, so Machover is serving his Arab masters as a tool of their mininformation and political manipulation. Why is Machover not going after the Moslem leaders to preach for the death of Jews and Christians all over the world? Instead he chooses to target those who have dedicated their lives in the defense of the innocent. Almog's crime is that he risked his life repeatedly to make his country safer from the suicide bombers and murderers. Machover has even followed the old anti-semites justifying line of "Some of my best friends are Jewish" with his: “I have nothing against Israel, I even have family there,” The worst anti-semite is a Jewish Anti-Semite.
18. Israel should recall its ambassador...
Dan ,   Nashville, TN   (09.13.05)
and threaten to suspend relations. That would undercut the UK's ability to influence events in the Middle East.
19. To #12 Mr. Machover
AK ,   NY   (09.13.05)
Mr. Machover, who according to this article, used to be an Israeli Jew, wishes for all the other Jews also to live in Diaspora, like him, and leave the land to others, whose rights he considers unassailable. Would he consider it acceptable for the Israeli Jews to die, in order to make room for those he considers more worthy? An interesting question. In this, he is not alone, judging by Haaretz and all those" peace" movements. All those communists of yesteryear were also always so busy saving the world that they seldom paid attention to those close to them. They certainly never felt any kinship with their own people. One can put blame squarely on the Israeli establishment for the way they raised their young ones. How could they have moved from Zionism to post- Zionism, lost all their idealism and pride in only one generation? Mr. Machover appears to be just another manifestation of a malignant cancer that seems to afflict the soul of Israel. I do hope Israel recovers, and soon. As to Mr. Machover, he may yet find out, like the Eastern-block Jewish communists did, that once the circumstances change and usefulness ends, he will find himself expendable.
20. Yasser
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.13.05)
Not even chief Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat had an arrest warrent waiting for him as he criss-crossed the globe. When will the dimwits of Israel wake up and start playing hardball ? Israel the nations of wimps continues to get squeezed in the global vise and the best they can do is go down without a fight. How pitiful ,a nation once again enslaved and loving it.
21. To mr Machover
gil ,   ashkelon   (09.13.05)
May I advise you to change your chidren name,so you will give them a chance to avoid to carry the burden of the curse hovering upon you.Remember,sir,whether you are still a jew,within a few days,God will judge our deeds.It is not too late for tchuva.MayGod open your mind.
22. Arrest Machover
mark ,   montreal, Canada   (09.13.05)
Machover pretends to be such a nice guy, doesn't he? Would have made a great kappo in the concentration camps of auschwitz. If Israel has any guts, Israel should have him arrested and tried for threatening to kidnap Israeli army officers, if he ever should set foot on Israeli soil again.
23. Machover the liar, hypocrite, self hater
JJ   (09.13.05)
It's clear that he is an enemy of the people and State of Israel. Machover has not a word to say about the systematic mass murder of Israeli civilians by Palestinian terrorists - not a word. His silence speaks louder than all his hate fill words disguised as legal jargon. Watching this man on tape is gross, he is a disgusting person. He is a happy puppet of the Arab stringmasters, the ones who launch war on Israel through any means possible. Yimah Shmo
24. Bobbies on bicycles
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (09.13.05)
If Almog finds himself confronted by British police, he should definitely not try to run for it.
25. AWESOME MACHOVER!!!!
HAPPY and excited ,   USA   (09.13.05)
I have been waiting for this!!! the ZIONISTS JEWS have been war criminals for 60 years now!! the PAlestinians should sue them for reperations without a DOUBT.. LONG LIVE HUMAN RIGHTS AND EQUALITY FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
26. To #25 You forgot to add "but Joooooooooose,"
AK ,   NY   (09.14.05)
27. Like Father Like Son
Kate ,   London   (09.14.05)
Machover's father, also a member of the extreme left, is best known for the extreme anti-Israeli propaganda which he has propagated in the UK. A defender of sucide bombers, he is actively hated by the vast majority of British Jews. This bitter apple obviously didn't fall far from that odious tree. I have today written to the American authorities asking them to investigate Machover about his possible ties to terrorist organisations. I don't imagine he'll be travelling to the United States any time soon.
28. Re: AWESOME MACHOVER!!!!
Kate ,   London   (09.14.05)
And I wonder what lies you told to get into the US, Mohammed.
29. True justice
Robert Barzilli ,   Los Angeles, USA   (09.14.05)
True justice would be satisfied if Mr. Machover was a passenger in one of those buses blown up by sucide bombers or a patron at the seaside restaurant in Haifa. He is very irritating because he is abusing the freedom of speach available in civilized country like UK or Israel. He should move to Iran or any muslim country where the slightest critisism with the Koran will get him a death sentence like Rishdie
30. KATE
(09.14.05)
Mohammad? is that a racist slur from you? I am not muslim or Arab- I am American- but jews are getting more transparent everyday- the racist state of Israel with its war crimes is getting exposed more everyday/ Are you nervous?
