THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND HELMETS AND THE DUTCH, WHY , WHY , WHY, YOU TURNED AND CURVED TOWARDS THE MUSLIMS , SOME OF YOUR RELIGION FOLLOWERS(ISRAEL) LIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUSLIMS WORLD , BE GOOD TO RECEIVE GOOD.

i have made a website detailing the processes involved in making the helmets www.thoughtdomain.piczo.com

Muslim   (02.25.06)
What does this retarded article have to do with Muslims or Islam? Why are you so damn insecure and paranoid that you have to turn an article about a nazi-looking helmet at a world cup into the cartoons of the Prophet and the riots?? This article had nothing to do with Muslims yet most talkbacks here did, stop instigating unnecessary arguments. And by the way, you can't compare these helmets to a depiction of Islam's Prophet as a terrorist, even if you don't believe in Islam, the two issues are nothing alike.
35. CRUDE EUROPEANS--HELMETS
DEBRA ,   USA   (02.25.06)
SINCE WORLD WAR II, EUROPE HAS BEEN OUT OF STEP WITH WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND HOW PROPER PEOPLE ACT. THE NASTY WAY THEY TREAT VISTING AMERICANS SHOWS THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO MANNERS AND DECENCY. IF I WERE ISRAEL, I WOULD BOYCOTT. WHO WANTS TO BE NEAR SUCH WRETCHED PEOPLE AS THE EUROPEANS. THEY NEVER GAVE A DAMN FOR THE JEWS DURING THE HOLOCAUST AND THEY DON'T NOW. TO HELL WITH THEM.
36. Ynet finally you woke up after more then a month ago I sent
moi ,   TA   (02.25.06)
More then a month ago (before the mohammed cartoons were published) I sent Ynet the link to the manufacturer of these helmets, it took a long time to for Ynet to respond. AS a Dutch citizen living in Israel I'm ashamed and disgusted by these helmets. Put don't blame a whole nation for this, blame the manufacturer....many Dutch people are disgusted by this. There always has been a hate relation between the Dutch and the Germans because of the WW2, at such an extend that this effects soccer, (we lost against the Germans the World Cup final in 1974)....anyway I believe these helmets are indeed a tease to the Germans but its tasteless and I apologize to all Jewish and Israeli people for this on behalf of all the people of Holland, who do have the freedom of speech and is a tollerant nation....and has very goor relations with Israel.
37. GEORGE SAMI: Holland is overrun by Muslims
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.25.06)

Dutch people are sick of you lot, and visitors are not save to travel to Holland any more We see it DAILY in our news. DAILY !!!! Ayaan Hirsi Ali a dutch MP has murder threats hanging over her head - from guess WHO - your brethren Muslims and many others in Holland http://ayaanhirsiali.web-log.nl/categorie/46044 You people cause muder and mayhem WORLD-WIDE It is your making to be in the Middle of it all - we did not put you in the middle - you manage that one by yourselves. We never asked for you monsters to come to our democracies and behave like insects ........ animals behave better
38. They look pretty stupid to me....
ketket ,   USA   (02.25.06)
I don't get what's so great about these helmets... I mean, they look retarded. Why would anyone want to wear such a dumb piece of platic on one's head?? It's like a bowl. I mean there are no straps or detail work on them.... and the stickers? I have never seen such lousy typography! You can't even read some of those.... Like the England one or the French one... Prettly lame... Much more lame than those big foam hands at Baseball games....
39. What's the noise?
Nyctamere ,   Chelm   (02.25.06)
Why call this helmet shape "nazi"? My Jewish granddads wore these in WW-One, and they are probably part of the reason why they managed to survive the ordeal. Recently, this helmet shape has been adopted, with little variation, by most of the World's armies, and can be seen atop ZaHa"L's reservists' heads. So I guess that most of the planet has gone Imperial German (not nazi!) when it comes to battlefield head protection.
40. #39 thy talketh from outeth of ones ass...

THe IDF DO NOT wear helmets that even begin to resemble a nazi stormtroopers helmet. That's total stuyot.

By branding a whole population of a country as racist you have become what you condemn: "a racist". Shame on you
48. in response to 14
chris ,   rotterdam NL   (02.25.06)
You a idiot or something? Do think dutch jews were the only one. who suffered during ww2 ? Many dutch citizens died during ww2. Not only from bombings an hunger during the last winter, but also from deportations, anyone who helped shelter jews were murdered aswell, not to mention many people from the resistance. And retaliatory actions against the dutch. But its exactly about getting over our hatred of germans. After so many years. The germans from now are not the germans from the past. besides that it has to do with rivalry between germany and the netherlands in football. This helmet btw is still used by for example firefighters in germany and it has nothing to do with dutch hating jews..
49. Eurabia at its 'finest'

50. every country and culture has their rotten apples
monique ,   amsterdam   (02.25.06)
yes, very distastless and stupid these helmets. They are made to provoke the german soccer fan, not to hurt jewish people. But israel has their own rotten apples, see the article before about homo hatred in Israel AND very few defensive responses to that. (Oh yes gays have also been prosecuted and murdered in the second ww for being gay!!.).Do I see all Isrealis responsible for Shas his views? No, i take every individual responsible for their behaviour, so do not judge all dutch.
51. To George Sami
Joe ,   Brooklyn, NY   (02.25.06)
You're right that this isn't about Muslims. However, what people are trying to say is that you won't see Jews rioting and attacking the Dutch embassy over this, so riots over offensive actions are not inevitable.
52. To 1000's of European Football Fans, It is Not Just a Game!
Buddy Macy ,   NJ   (02.25.06)
Episode 102 September 28, 2005 HBO: REAL SPORTS http://www.hbo.com/realsports/stories/2005/episode.105.s4.html A Source of Shame One of the biggest challenges for American sports fans is understanding the huge appeal of professional soccer (football) in Europe. To a large degree, the scope of the intense hometown support and spirited rivalries that exist between dueling teams is admirable athletic competition. But extreme fan behavior is also part of the mix in European football. Now, a three-year REAL SPORTS investigation uncovers a disturbing, unchecked aspect of fan activity -- blatant racism. Among examples of extreme fan reaction to individual players are the mimicking of monkey sounds and the throwing of bananas anytime a black player touches the ball, as well as the waving of swastikas and open Nazi salutes [Ed. And the displaying of a 30 foot sign in an Italian Stadium reading: Your home is in Auschwitz!]Speaking with Bryant Gumbel, players such as Thierry Henry of England's Arsenal reveal that in parts of Europe "home field advantage" has less to do with the color of one's jersey and more to do with the color of one's skin.

53. Ignore the helmets, and concentrate on winning the game!
Noah ,   NY, USA   (02.25.06)
Winning is the best revenge.
54. What's the big deal?
Richard ,   New York, USA   (02.26.06)
The US military has the same style helmet, which was obviously taken from the Germans, and I didn't hear anybody say anthing about those helmets.
55. the HELMETS
neil livingston macl ,   Glasgow uk   (02.26.06)
These helmets are actually a great blessing - to beer drinkers caught far from a loo. Use them then for what they were designed for.
56. Correction, #54
US Army Soldier ,   USA   (02.26.06)
The US Army does NOT have the same style helmet. The German strormtrooper helmet is a very disctinct, recognizable shape.
57. WHO IS SUPPOSED
PILPELET ,   H ISRAEL   (02.26.06)
TO FIND THE HATS FUNNY..........NO IM SERIOUS WHATS FUNNY ABOUT IT . I DONT THINK THE DUTCH PEOPLE ARE TO BLAME FOR A MAN TRYING TO MAKE MONEY WHEN THE ONLY THING GOING FOR HIM IS HIS BAD TASTE AND A RATHER WARPED SENCE OF HUMIOR . WHEN I CAME TO ISRAEL IN 73 THE HARDEST WORKERS WERE THE DUTCH . HI TO ALL THAT WERE ON KIBUTZE MATSUBA.73--74.

Well!! I wonder if 6million of your People were Murdered, if you would "forget about the past", and its too Freaking bad if we're "annoying". You speak like a person(and I use the term loosely) who does not have a History!! your Callousness is typical, coming from the usual Anti-semite dribble!! If you and I MET, FACE Tto FACE, you would be LAUGHING on the other side of your Hate!! You Freakin JERK!! Nomlas Fisher,Vancouver,Canada ps.

60. TO # 32 & # 34
Ginette Golden ,   CANADA   (02.27.06)
You pathetic idiots! We wanted to show the difference between us, being offended (with the helmets) and you being offended (with a cartoon). You guys destroy, burn, kill, foam from the mouth... Us the Jews? we reply with words, with World pressure, or with a boycott, NOT the insane reaction the Muslim world had because of a cartoon. It's like human life, property of others just does not mean d--k all to you and we know it does not!
