31. This is Earth to Marlene...
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (12.03.05)
... come in Marlene.... err what planet do you live on?? On my one the criminal murdering Palestinians are the ones who are criminal murdering Palestinians. These are amongst the thousands of CONVICTED murdering Palestinians.... now how much more do I have to break this down for you??
32. so obvious, l. rivera
mike ,   usa   (12.03.05)
yes, loonie, it is so obvious that these 2 are so similar. one was falsely accused and imprisoned while the other was rightly convicted (a seditious act toward your beloved own country, how patriotic you are) and rightly imprisoned. now the traitor wants to flee his country when he gets out. i wonder why america would not want someone like this to get out of jail and go to the country he gave secrets to. maybe he has info that america doesn't want him to pass along? maybe american lives could be compromised? who knows? but it seems you will stand up for the rights of an american traitor just because he is jewish, even if it means danger for america. oh, but i forgot - by the way you blast the USA and our leadership in your cut/paste posts you obviously have no love or loyalty for the country you live so freely and safely in. i hope you yourself are not employed by any security agancy because it's obvious your primary national loyalty does not belong to your own country. shame.
33. U.S. HARSH, UNJUST TREATMENT OF POLLARD SHOCKED EUROPEANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.03.05)
Pollard is no traitor! Pollard was NEVER tried for, or convicted of treason! Truth, justice and human rights is what America is all about! It is what made America great! The European Parliament Resolution on Jonathan Pollard September 16, 1993 The European Parliament, 1. noting that Jonathan Pollard, then of the US Navy, was convicted in 1985 of passing classified information to Israel concerning the military activities of Iraq, Syria and other Middle Eastern nations, 2. noting also that the information dealt with the chemical, biological and nuclear arms build- up in these countries and that Pollard considered he had a moral duty to warn Israel of the developing massive threat to its security and to the lives of its people, 3. whereas Pollard has expressed remorse for his action, 4. whereas Pollard, who was not accused of treason, or of intending to harm the US, pleaded guilty under a plea bargain, and was thus convicted and sentenced, without a full trial, to life imprisonment, despite the Government's promise not to seek such a penalty, 5. noting that the sentence imposed on Pollard was grossly disproportionate to those imposed on others by US courts for supplying information to a friendly power (normally from two to four years), 6. shocked that most of Pollard's eight years in prison should have been spent in solitary confinement and underground, 7. astonished that Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, described by one of his Under-Secretaries for Defense as having had 'an almost visceral dislike of Israel', should have sent a message to the trial judge, one hour before the sentencing hearing, asking for the stiffest possible sentence commensurate with Pollard's 'treasonous' (sic) behavior, 8. noting however that Mr. Weinberger stated recently that he thought it was time that Mr. Pollard should be released; aware that Christian and Jewish organizations throughout the world have pleaded for the harsh sentence of life imprisonment to be commuted and that Judge Steve Williams wrote, in a dissenting opinion to an appellate court finding, that 'the government's conduct in this case resulted in a 'complete miscarriage of justice', 1. Urges the US Administration to commute Pollard's sentence to one of time served and to release him immediately; 2. Calls on EPC to intercede with the US government with this end in view; 3. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, EPC and the Government of the United States. Voted almost unanimously on 16th September 1993.

36. Most important to correct injustices
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.03.05)
People make mistakes. Nations make mistakes. What is important, is that for the sake of truth, justice and human rights, injustices are corrected. Correcting injustices is part of what makes a nation great.
37. shukran emad habibi, keef halak?
mike ,   usa   (12.03.05)
good to know you are still there. yes, loonie rivera talks about "truth" but the fact that she cites the european parliment - THE SAME EUROPEAN PARLIMENT SHE ACCUSES OF BEING UNJUST AND CORRUPT - shows her selective use of "truth", that is, cite whatever source when it suits heru and condemn it when she doesn't like it. and she calls america "great" but you would never know that by reading the libelous posts which accuse america of such injustices and crimes. i do know one thing for sure, she speaks with righteous indignation against america, calling down god's judgment on us when she thinks something doesn't favor israel. but if you point it out to her she'll say the opposite, as if that cancels out al of the horrible things she says day in and day out about her country. it seems she should convert to judaism and make aliyah because she has fundamental problems with america and speaks contemptously about this country, while simply worshipping everything israel does as long as jews come out on top, no matter the situation. if you are jewish, rivera supports you without any question. if you are not jewish, you are not deserving of such favor. don't you agree emad?
38. thanks mike ... el hamd le Allah
Emad ,   Egypt - Switzeland   (12.04.05)
you are 100% right ... she is turning everything to the favor of Israel , she is not Jewish and she calling her self a real christian ... can you imagin ? she does not care about justice or humanrights like she say only it it will to the favor of Israel and what i don't understand why she didn't imegrate till now to Israel , any how she too much time from us and she don't deserve all of this ...lol ... nice day i wish you mike
39. The American belief in human rights for all people
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.04.05)
Americans are a great people! The U.S. was founded on wonderful principles, principles which I am most grateful for! The Bill of Rights. The American Constitution. May we never lose them! Leaders come and go. Governments come and go. It is completely American, and indeed it is the OBLIGATION of American citizens, to criticize decisions made by leaders one believes are wrong and unjust. Americans believe very strongly that all people must have human rights.

about linda you say she love every thing jewish no no no the correct she hate evry thing moslem only
41. #40 ISLAMIST VENOMOUS HATE FOR HOLY PLACES OF ISRAEL'S G-D
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.04.05)
The peace process of war and destruction. Gaza's Jews built everything on land that NEVER belonged to Arabs. In intense hate for G-D, Muslim mobs destroyed the synagogues. Hamas flags flew from synagogue roofs as synagogues burned. A major victory for global jihad against the hated non-Muslim infidels. Joseph is the beloved Bible hero of Jews and Christians. Muslims murdered IDF soldiers at Joseph's Tomb. With venomous hate for Israel's G-D, Muslim mobs burned prayer books and destroyed the Tomb. Jewish worshippers and holy places are frequently attacked by Islamists. Jewish and Christian holy sites are desecrated and destroyed. In the Islamic invasion and filthy desecration of Jesus Christ' birthplace, Church of Nativity, BIBLES WERE TORN UP FOR TOILET PAPER. It was an act against G-D. Inscribed in those Bibles are the laws G-D gave to Moses. Some of the laws - Exodus 20: "You shall have no other gods before Me" "You shall not make for yourself an idol" "You shall not murder" "You shall not commit adultery" "You shall not steal" "You shall not bear false witness" "You shall not covet" Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death" Muslims have perpetrated massive desecration and destruction at Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, not once in the Koran. G-D designated the Temple Mount to the Jews for His worship and prayer only. Jews and Christians are arrested if they pray, or even suspected of praying on the Temple Mount. Muslims on the Temple Mount repeatedly engage in massive rock throwing at Jews, turning the holiest place on earth into a common place of violence. THE OFFENSE TO G-D IS ENORMOUS. RETURN CONTROL OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT TO ITS JEWISH OWNERS IMMEDIATELY.

Linda , are you afraid now to be charged as traitor ?? you are a big laier you don't belive in humanrights but only in Jewish rights , you speake about Muslims killed IDF soldiars in the tomb of Joseph but you didn't mention anything about the one who killed many Muslims inside the Mosque during they were in praying , you see your doble scale or your double face ? you call your self real Christian and you have all of this hate inside how come ? you didn't care about the churches which have been distroyed by the Israelians and you cared only about their syngagues ... waaaw what a christian you are ...lol.. can you tell me how many Moslems and Arabs you met in your life ?? how you built all of these ideas about the Arabs and the Moslems who gave you all of this wrong information ? ... seams to me that you an isolated person with no friend no relationship with normal people or you in one of this sick sekts who washed your brain and you get your information from the net and only from jweish sites , you didn't go out NY , you have no idea what's going on in this life , somebody washed your brain and scared you from the punishing of God if you don't support the Jewish and only the Jewish , somebody told you all the other bloods has no prise only the Jewish blood , somebody told you to garantie the heaven you have to give your self and everything you have to the Jewish ... i can bet that you give most of your money to help Jewish people ...

45. What hypocrisy No. 24
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.05.05)
While you live comfortably in New York, have you ever thought about the hundreds of Israeli children left orphaned by terror? Have you wondered what it would be like to see your child decapitated by a homocide bomber or your elderly father die from shock following a terror attack? This conflict has two sides Marlene even though you only see and understand one. You make a lot of assumptions based on second hand information and call others ignorant while your pro-palestinian stance is biased to the core. As far as Azzam Azzam is concerned, Egypt found him innocent because he was innocent. Your need to connect him to the Levon affair suggests you gather and connect whatever information comes your way to support your position. Further, you have no proof Israel intentionally attacked the USS Liberty yet you are ready to commit this event to history. Not impressed with your sloppy attempt to discredit Israel.
46. Azzam & Family
Hinda ,   California, USA   (12.05.05)
I am thankful this wonderful person is back with his family. My prayers have been answered when first I learned of his ordeal. May G-d bless him and his family and may Israel stop giving in to the terrorists!!! Egypt should be punished for capturing an innocent man. I will never go to Egypt until the moronic mentality leaves! SHALOM
47. Mah fish falestine due to Stench
Hinda ,   California USA   (12.05.05)
Salemah, are your parents related because you write like you are a product of imbreeding. Azzam is not a dog but I won't insult a dog to call you one. By the way, which state in the US that has the township of Palestine are you from? Are you a reason why the Gulf arabs call your kind "low-lifes?" I apologize for the insults but hey, you deserve them, habibi.
48. Hinda
Emad ,   Egypt - Switzerland   (12.06.05)
Hinda , Azzam was a spy not inocent ... and you should thank Egypt that they freed him after only 8 years ... Pollard is in jail in America since 24 years and still .... that you go to Egypt or not this is your problem but what a shame that with not going to Egypt you will miss to find out the truth about those nice people which could change your mind about them if you saw them and you spoke to them ... millions of people goes there every year and they cry when the time to go back comes ... you speake about country with 7000 years of history and culture which very few nations on the earth has it , any how Hinda ... one person more or less will not effect Egypt beside all of this millions who goes there every year ... but still you will be very welcome if you come and visit Egypt and it's nice people , and please don^t belive everything you hear and only what you see ... and specialy don't belive Linda Rivira .. she is a sick person , big laier and full of hate ... my best regards to you from a very simple Egyptian citizen .
49. re Marlene in NY
Hilda ,   US   (12.07.05)
It is obvious that Marlene does not like Jews or Israel and that she plants herself here only to write Palestinian propaganda. Is she also an Arab plant in the US dreaming of putting on the deadly belt and shedding Jewish blood.
50. to 49
(12.07.05)
hinda i just want to inform you that not only Arabs does not like Israel and the Jews ... i don't think that Marlene is an Arab but even ... the arabs till 1948 had respected the Jews much more than in Europe and the Jews lived in the arab countries like all the other citizens , the people who don't support Israel and they don't like the Jews are much more in the world than you can imagin , just information hope it will help you
