61. Why not!
Ahmad ,   Nablus   (12.09.05)
Although I not a big fan of the Iranians, I guess this suggestion is very good and should be taken seriously, after all Jews belong to Europe, and not to the Arab Semetic Middleast. the Zionist dream was initiated and erected by Europe and Europeans (so called Ashkenazi Jews) sustained (until now) by Europeans (and their off springs in North America) and still lead by Ashkenazi (German) Jews, so why not take them back to the mother land: Duetchland?! Go home, and leave Arab Palestine to its owners
62. JEWS DON'T BELONG IN THE MIDDLE EAST
DAVE ,   NYC   (12.09.05)
ARE YOU MARCHING AROUND IN YOUR BROWN SHIRT AS YOU SPEAK YOU NAZI !!!!!
63. Move Israel to Europe
Tzippi ,   USA   (12.09.05)
Really, you gotta laugh some of the time
64. A response to Luis re Brazil
Kate ,   London   (12.09.05)
"Now seriously, Brazil is a melting pot just like the US, so it's hard to say they belong here or there. " That is utter nonsense. Despite what Brazilians would like to believe, the vast majority of the white descendants of the original portugese settlers have not intermarried. Furthermore, virtually all important jobs and commercial enterprises are controlled by those same white individuals whilst the people of colour have been totally marginalised. In any event, the Jews are a people of genius. We hardly need advice from the citizen of a ramshackle nation such as yours. You have more than enough problems of your own. Attend to your own business.
65. to #40 re Assehol
Sheik Yur Bouti ,   Eurabia   (12.09.05)
Assehol is not Enlish for you to know , he's an Arab from the Palestinian territories- Although it is a well know fact that most English smell from the lack of bathing, the Arabs smell worse as in cultural terms, they do not bathe, period. Water is not one their strong cards unfortunately, oil is.
66. Re Mauricio / Uganda
Barry ,   Tokyo   (12.09.05)
Not a bad idea but Israelis have managed to make their nation blossom despite the lack of water through innovative irrigation and desalination technologies. As for animals, they already have more than enough causing mayhem in their neighborhood.
67. #44 Jews don't belong in the ME?
AK   (12.09.05)
Funny, Jews don't seem to belong in Europe, either, at least not according to the most of Europeans. Neither do Jews share a language with Europeans, Yiddish was a primary language spoken by the European Jews until the start of WWII (except for Germany); and to many Europeans neither do Jews look like them. The veneer of European tolerance towards the Jews is very thin and seems to be cracking under even minimal pressure, lately. So you've got a conundrum. You also seem to forget that over 50% of Israelis have absolutely no connection with Europe, other as tourists.
68. To #21 Peggi from France
MARK ,   USA   (12.09.05)
Of course you welcome them because that way you can blame all your problems on the Jews. You are the most Anti-Semitic country in the world and Vichy France helped Hitler in killing French Jews. You hate the Jews as much as the radical Muslims but you need them in your country to attack Jews. You use them to do your dirty work and then treat them as second class citizens. Why else would they be rioting in the streets? Why are Jews leaving France?
69. My Hell!
Ybok ,   SP USA   (12.09.05)
It's amazing how blind and ignorant people of our day have become. If anyone has ever read the Koran, with an open mind, mind you, it doesnt take a gym instructor to see the book IS NOT GOD INSPIRED material. You can feel it in the soul and discern it in the mind. THE BOOK IS SATANIC.

Vicki ,   Kadima, Israel   (12.09.05)
And who exactly is the racist one here. I can't believe that there are still ignorent uneducated idiots coming out of England, who are willing to expose their stupidity. But then again, stupid is stupid, and this idiot just goes to prove my point..
71. #8 You would demand Christ, the Jew be ETHNICALLY CLEANSED
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.09.05)
What is your religion??? You know nothing about Christ or the Bible. Jesus Christ the Jew was born and lived in Israel. If Jesus had been born in this time period, from the moment he was conceived in his mother's womb, he would be targeted for murder by the Islamofascists for being a Jew living in his homeland of Israel. The terrorist organization, Palestinian Authority, hailed as heroes the savage murderers of defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Tali Hatuel and four little daughters in Gaza last year.
72. Just put Ahmad-in-a-jar

73. Assassination?
Digital Heretic ,   The Holy Land   (12.09.05)
Why is this man still walking and talking?
74. What a buffoon!
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (12.09.05)
What rock did this guy crawl out from under?
75. Peggi
Dan ,   TN, USA   (12.09.05)
Peggi, we remember well the reception we had in France. Remember the ghettos? The yellow stars? The progroms? Oh and yes the transport of French Jews to the gas chambers was particularly special. It was the only transport of Jews to the gas chambers that was carried out entirely by the French and with no direct German participation. More recently, we had the stabbings, the synagogue and school burnings, the cemetary descrecrations. I know not all French people are like this, some of my best friends are French, but France is not the homeland of Jews. Period.
76. #57
Jane ,   New York   (12.09.05)
Your hational movements and liberation movements are OK, but ours is not? As Dr. Martin Luther King said, if all other national movements are OK but not the one for the Jews, then it proves that anti-Zionism IS anti-Semitism.
77. Katz in Teaneck
Jane ,   New York   (12.09.05)
The majority of Israelis certainly DO believe in G-d. Some of them just don't think it's "cool" to admit it. Histadrut is a labor union, nothing to do with the religious/secular divide. Shinui? Who cares? It's a small minority of the population.
78. Accessol
Jane ,   New York   (12.09.05)
Boring, puke-boy, boring. Blah, blah, blah. As usual, nothing to say other than spewing self-hating bile.
79. #29
Jane ,   New York   (12.09.05)
NP, are you serious? Where Jews are concerned, there is no "good part of Islam". And where Islam is concerned, there is no logic.
80. kyle from south park
Joe ,   Brooklyn, NY   (12.09.05)
Hi Kyle, I love your green hat. You're the man. --Joe, the South Park fan PS: Ahmedinejad is a bigot and I hope that he is soon overthrown in an extremely humiliating way and I wish the worst for hiim.
81. The so-called palestinians are NOT descendants of Canaanites
Paal Olstad ,   Oslo, Norway   (12.09.05)
They are Arabs originating in Arabia. The Hebrews (Jews) are one of the original peoples of Canaan. The Jebusites were closely related to the Hebrews, other Canaanite tribes were to some degree assimilated with the Hebrews or died out or vanished as entities. The Hebrews established Israel as the first national state ever in Canaan with Jerusalem as their capital. It existed for more than 1000 years until they were driven out by the Romans who had given the name Palestine to Israel. After the fall of the Roman Empire the muslims occupied Canaan/Israel. Only the Hebrews (Jews) have a right to Canaan/Israel. The so-called palestinian Arabs moved there only very recently. Paal Olstad.
82. Song for #30 Accessol Poodle boy
(12.09.05)
I got the feelin when it all comes down, Im gonna shoot the dog! Im gonna shoot the dog! Good puppy good puppy! Role on over now now! And maybe while your at it you can lick Georgie Bushs ass one more time eh? I dont think you British have paid your dues this week so pucker up and kiss that ass poodle boy
83. Ahmad
(12.09.05)
And where should, say, an Israeli Jew whose family goes back a thousand years go? How about the many, many Mizrachi Jews who have no connection whatsoever with Europe and/or the United States? How about somebody whose half Mizrachi and half Ashkenazi?
84. You would think...
Laurent ,   New York   (12.09.05)
that Mr. Ahmadinejad is an Israeli operative, given that he is eliciting the most overt statements of support for Israel seen in years. Well done Mr. Ahmadinejad! Keep up the good work, you f**k.
85. to Paal
(12.09.05)
Just to add to your historical analysis: back in the 1990's, the Palestinians had a Philistine festival. The idea was that the Palestinians were descended from the Philistines, a/k/a "Sea People." BTW, the name "Palestine" originally comes from the "Philistines" (Hebrew "Plishtim"). A Jewish observer asked Arafat how it was, then, that, all of a sudden, the Palestinians were calling themselves inheritors of the Philistines when Arafat based his claim on the Land of Israel on their being the descendants of Abraham (through Ishmael). He backtracked on the Philistine thing *very* quickly.
86. Couldn't the Iranians find a better leader?
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.09.05)
This guy looks like a raccoon and every other minute sticks his foot in his mouth. Per my Iranian friends who travel to Iran to see family, all is not well in Iran. Paranoia is rampant and distrust is the norm. People are kidnapped and disappear regularly. The religious police patrol the streets and arrest people for nothing while the mullahs get rich from taxing people for everything. Perhaps Ahmadwhatshisname will be the one to immigrate to Europe when the Iranians wake up and break their chains of repression.
87. Palestinains have more roots to this land
Murad ,   Palestine   (12.09.05)
Most what is called today Palestinians, in fact, root back to the Cannanites who migrated to this area from the Arabian penesuila in prehistoric times and before even Abraham arrive to it from Iraq. Also, Moses came from Egypt with the Israelites attacking the cannanites. Personally, I think too many things changed in this world in the past 5000 years!!! It is ridicoulos what Jews are doing by trying to dominate in an area they were part of some in it and not everything in it!!! I think that Jews this way are openning the gates of Hell on themselves cause after all, all people in this world in a way or another root back to the ancient world and to somewhere in the middle east. So, Sharon and gissin like Jews should simply shut up..!! Jews were never more than 2% in the Land of Palestine at least for the past 1800 years. If they can prove otherwise, they are welcomed...!!
88. #81 Not correct
Richard ,   New York, USA   (12.09.05)
The Arabs are not a homogeneous people. With the coming of Islam in the 7th century, many Christians and Jews in Palestine converted to the new religion. So the Arabs have original Canaanite and Hebrew blood in their veins. On the other hand, many European Jews were converts from the Khazars, and have no real blood connection with Abraham. So maybe the President of Iran is correct. The European Jews should have their State in Europe. We know from the Torah that Jews have no absolute right to Eretz Israel. It says in the Torah that the land belongs to G-d, and He's giving it to us so long as we keep His commandments. When we do not keep the commandments of the Lord, we will be spat out of the land. Can we honestly say that the vast majority of Jews in Israel are keeping the commandments of the Lord, and walking in the way of righteousness? Can we honestly say that the Jews in Israel are a nation of priest, and a light unto the nations? Is not the love of G-d more powerful than hatred and vengeance? How smart are we anyway?
89. Peggi-with-an-i
Sivan ,   Tel-Aviv   (12.09.05)
But aren't you situated in the UK today? You're not even English, or French for that matter. Speak for yourself - say "I" - not WE...This morning in France, in an hour's time in the UK, back to France in the evening, and on and on and on....Peggi-with-i, ask the average French/Brit his opinion as to who he or she would want to see chucked out of their country (not your country)Jewish people or arabs - the answer is pretty obvious. And write truthfully where you are situated - or are you afraid you'll get found out that you are actually doing the unheard of - looking into the Internet....
90. To Vicky No. 70
Sivan ,   Tel-Aviv   (12.09.05)
Accessol is the worst kind of anti semite, because he's Jewish. He likes to show off now and then and slip in Hebrew words. Who knows if he's really in England, who knows if he has other nick-names. One thing for sure, he's the village idiot among us.
