2. this wa not an act against jews
aa ,   london   (02.24.06)
this was a simple kidnaping for ransom , and the jews made it into an act agaist jews , which means jews cannot be killed in paris or anywhere else in europe because they are jewish , a french or an englishman , or a german or a dutch can be killed , but not a jew .. why dont you give the world a break and stop acting like you where the only people that god created and the rest of the humen race are not human because they are not jewish...
3. Anti semetic murder in France
Ricjard ,   Israel   (02.24.06)
These animals must be hunted and disposed of. Prison is too god for these creatures and ALL Jews say Never Again after the Holocaust so it is about time to act on this saying. Unite and show the extreme retaliation possible that we Jews are capable of not just in israel but through out the world whatever country you reside in.

10. Histeria is not helpful
LVP ,   Paris   (02.24.06)
I find this article quite a bit histerical, the author tried to portrate this horrible crime as commited solely for anti-semitic reasons. In fact, this was lakely a usual gang of hungry for money scums, not driven by any particular ideology. The cliche "jews are rich" might play a role, of course. The thing took place in a particularly bad district of paris, where people are not used to call police, whatever happens, that explains their silence in this case as well. It is wrong this time to occuse french assorities in 'cover up' of possible antisemitic connection. This connection was throughly discussed in the media, Chirac and other political bomond stress this point as well, and pay a visit to the Paris sinagoge, police swiftly arrest around 15 suspects. It has become a kind of habit to blame French people in antisemitism and 'cowardice' in any situation, but in that particular case I find it to be not justified at all.
11. #2...moron
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.24.06)
They have already received confessions from a gril that said she was targeting jews for these guys. You are either very naive and ignorant or just hate jews. How can the world be so blind after the holocaust. You are trully a moron #2.

"simple kidnaping for ransom".....not antisemetic??? why did they demand money from the "jewish community"? why did they call the victims family reciting verses from the koran? and who is saying that the rest of the world is less than the jews???? sounds like you have some sort of inferiority complex. have you considered therapy?
13. it is people like #s 4, 7 and 8 that rae causing the jews
aa ,   london   (02.24.06)
to suffer all over the world , you all dont love jews , on the contrary , you hate yourselves , and the rest of the world including jews , and unfortuionatly 95% of the jews are like you also ....... simply and pathetacly stuiped...

I believe that you spelled stupid incorrectly, the correct spelling is s-t-u-p-i-d. You also have several other spelling and grammer errors as well.
15. to number 2...
stephane ,   france   (02.24.06)
i have read your comments,it's incredible to be so dumb...i complain your mother.we're talking here about something very serious and very bad.if you're not able to understand the subject,so just don't come in a JEWISH website and shut up.and by the way;we're not paranoïds,before those animals abducted ilan,they tried to abduct 6 persons,and among them 4 were jews.so,dumb,this and the testify of those in custody proves that jews were targeted.london bombing didn't help u to understand who r the arabs "espece d'enculé"?

AA, that is the Palestinian doctrine. They think they are the only people being wronged and that they can act in any merciless way because of it. It is the Palestinians who constantly whine and claim that they are the ohly people in the world without a land when, in fact, there are major population groups who are in a much worse situation. The Palestinians can incite Jew-hatred (notice I did not say Israeli hatred) and then whine that Jews are racist. Palestinians walk through Jewish towns but a Jew takes his life in his hands to walk in a Palestinian town. Jews are not the only people that Hashem created. But we are the ones everyone like you scapegoats when they do not want to take responsibility for their own actions.

It is you who is simply and pathetically stupid. You think that people will continue to buy your crap indefinitely. Your party is about to end. People have had enough.

19. The World Is Obsessed With Us Jews
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (02.24.06)
Based on world events and media coverage, one would think there are 1.4 billion Jews instead of 14 million (or so) You know why losers like AA (which stands for Another A_ _ _ _ _ _) spend all their waking hour sending lame insults to an Israeli website? They're jealous of our achievements in Art, Science, Business, on the field of battle, Athletics...hmm ok scratch that one.

"but israel and the jews have lots and lots more appolegies to make to the humen race for the theft and murders they commit daily " what are you talking about? Jews are in conflict with Muslims. All over the earth people are in conflict with Muslims.
21. Muslim Conflict
Other Person ,   USA   (02.25.06)
Clearly the article didn't even come out and state it as clearly as it could. The muslims of the world want to kill all Jews and Christians, and they are willing to resort to any means possible to scare people into letting them do as they please.
22. answer this antisemite
christine shoffner ,   climax,nc,USA   (02.25.06)
A simple kidnapping for ransom would not provoke this demon-inspired level of evil. aa, from London may not be a much better excuse for a human being than the killers of Ilan Halimi and their cohort.The Bible describes this almost supernatural hatred of Jews as specifically Satanic in origin. This incident should break the meanest heart.
23. aa, of London. This might be your real problem.
christine shoffner ,   NC,USA   (02.25.06)
Perhaps you are Arab or otherwise pro-Palestinian. I am a Christian American and I am going to speak to you with a kind heart. There are no perfect people on this earth, but you have probably been lied to about the history of Israel your whole life. Lies, deception, and manipulation are the chief currency of Arab nations since the murderous Mohammed promoted the moon god Allah to the top slot. The Palestinian problem was set uo by the Arab States and left as a Trojan Horse as a political means to demonize Israel while these same states bought time to gain the weaponry to bring a military end. The UN certainly has the records and the truth about Israel's history from the late 1800's through statehood and on. I know this to be true. The religion of elitist liberals requires politically correct , multi-cultural spouting speech that requires that some peoples be elevated to perpetual victimhood. Truth is irrelevant. Israel fell out of favor with liberals after her miraculous victory in 1967. She was strong, and the liberal hate and resent strength. There is much to say and no time to say it. I wish you would put your hatred on the back burner for a while. Ask G-d sincerely to lead your heart to the truth. I wish you would devote many hours to exploring the Hasbara websites for a genuine history of Israel. I am old enough to lave lived through much of this history. You deserve to know the truth and get a different perspective on the things going on in this world . We live in a time when Bible prophecy is being fulfilled at an awesome speed. Get yourself on the right side of G-d's plan while it is not too late. And I say this with love and a right heart.

We have no apology to make for reclaiming our land, defending our lives and refusing to accept your crap. As to humanity and dignity, it is the Jews who let your suicide bombers into our hospitals and our doctors who treat them. Talk about humanity and dignity. We do not lynch your people, dip our hands in their blood and wave them before the cameras. You people can lecture us about NOTHING!
26. Islam
(02.25.06)
Islam is just a childish religioun, always excused for its mess ups and always allowed to start trouble and rampage around in destruction "Because they're only kids". The world will find a substitute for oil and the Muslims will no longer be able to throw around their childish tantrums and terrorize everyone, they will be thrown to the dogs and treated like the rest of the human society, and no noble souled hypocrit will stop them from crashing head forward with reality.

aa ,   london   (02.25.06)
does your god teach you to steal land from people ? does your god teach you to kill people pf all ages ? does your god teach you to treat other people with total inhumanity ? or allow you to imprison another just because he is looking for his freedom ? does your god tell you that you are the chosen one and for you can treat the rest of the world in what ever way you want ? does he only love you and no one else of his creation ? my dear , the palestinian people did not go to the jews , no the jews came to them , stole there land by force and forced 100s of thousands of people to flee there homes in the middle of the night including children old men and woman , and the palestinians are looking for there freedom only from this apprthied , they do not wanna kill the jews nor kick them out , they want there freedom from this race that thinks he can do anything they want to the world because they think they are the chosen people . if you god teaches you to do all these things to humanity , then my dear the god you know is not the same god that created the world , and for that i will never beleive in him .
28. AA, your doing it again
Yasmin ,   Canada   (02.25.06)
Very typical. Your not listening to what people are saying you only want to hear your own voice. You sound like a broken record. Here's an update, there was no land to be stolen from the Palestinians simply because they are Nomads. Do you know what that means? If you don't look it up, you might actually learn something since you have selective listening.......

KAPARA   (02.25.06)
When you speak of Jews and humanity and the human race, don't forget to mention that about 15 % of all the nobel prize winners have been jews. Not bad for a people that represent less than 1% of the population on the planet earth. Not that I am trying to brag, I'm sure your proud of the 6 muslims that have won the nobel prize in the past hundred years. Especially Yaser Arafat among them. I'm just saying that we have given a lot to humanity and you can not argue with that. I guess we understand the needs of humanity pretty well after all.
30. aa, london #27
kapara   (02.25.06)
I don't think you understand what "chosen" means, you are not applying the definition correctly. Chosen does not mean we are better than you, chosen means chosen to live by gods commandments. We are not better than you arabs. Even with all the Nobel prizes I still believe we are not better than you. Maybe smarter, but not better.
