31. ifamericansknew.org is a biased anti-Israel site.
Dave ,   NY, USA   (03.30.06)
I have searched this site briefly looking for anything the denounces Palestinian terror, but everything I read blames Israel for everything. An Israeli child was killed in a suicide bomb in one of the articles and this site has the audacity to suggest it is the fault of the "occupation" not the suicide bomber. This site is a lie. They produce no evidence for any of their accusations against Israel. It is pathetic disgusting propaganda.
32. Gotti, without Judaism, without Christianity
Dave ,   NY, USA   (03.30.06)
Without Judaism, Christianity would be missing the first testament. Non-religious people could argue that without Judaism there would be no Christianity. That said, Christians should help Jews and Jews should help Christians. Both Jews and Christians want to and do help all people. It is hate and terrorism that prevents this. It is also hate and terrorism that creates the need for Jews and Christians to help many more people than there should be in need of help. Stop the terrorism and the Muslim goal of destroying Israel and Israel would exist jsut fine.
33. Gotti, you don't seem to actually know much about anything.
Dave ,   NY, USA   (03.30.06)
In case you have not been keeping track of Israeli politics, Israelis a excellent at criticizing themselves. Second, I don't recall hearing much about any Jewish suicide bombers. I have hear many reports of Arab-Israelis suporting terrorists, housing them and driving them to their chosen places of detonation. Israel is perfectly entitled to have high security at Ben Gurion. You can argue that security should be as tough for Jews, but not that it should be relaxed for non-Jews. All of your posts seem to show a dislike for Jews. As a Christian, your roots are Jewish. Your First Testament is Jewish. You seem to be trying to foment tension between Jews and Christians. You might want to direct your attention to Palestinian terror and their goal of destroying Israel. Israel would not be the best at urban warfare, disaster response and airline security if it were not for the Palestinian terrorists. Ben Gurion security and Israeli border security would not be as tight as it is without the terrorists. Jews and Christians need to kep working together. People like you are not helping.

Gotti Junior ,   Little Italy NY   (03.31.06)
I'm the first one saying Christian and Jews need to help each other. But what I'm saying (with facts if u read the examples of my previous messages) that the effort and support for such a collaboration comes more from the Christian side (George Bush and 98% of Christian America and Europe) rather than from the Israeli-jewish (not diaspora jewish which I consider real brothers of us). In Israel they do right to fight arab terrorism and I'm not a supporter of Palestinians. I support Israel. But how can we help each other more if in israel the laws still discriminate even the non-jews (Christians for example) that have got nohting to do with arabs and the war? Would u like it if in N.Y. a security guard would ask you: Are u a Christian? U say: No, I'm jewish. Ok. Let's check u further and bomb u with 100 questions while Christians can pass next to you without any problem or too many questions and interogations... If Israel is tough with Arabs and terrorism I understand and support. But don't understand how Israeli turn the back if they see a cross at a church or hear the word Jesus. Incredible. What if Christians turn their back if they see a David Star? Then it's immediately antisemitism! But what Israeli do is not racism then??? I expect more tollerance from the jewish side towards Christians, only then we can help u more. That's it. I hope u got my point.
35. To Gotti Junior
Joan ,   Haifa   (03.31.06)
I used to know a couple of people who admitted to "shuddering and walking more quickly" when they passed a church with a big cross on it. This was in the U.S., BTW. Before you scream "Racism!" though, hear their reason: they were both European Holocaust survivors whose formerly friendly Christian neighbors and colleagues turned on them. One had survived a concentration camp. I anticipate your saying "But that was in the past. This is now." It's easy to say that, but it's very hard to do when your life has been torn up. All I'm saying is that you can't spew these wild generalizations. Well, not if you expect to be taken seriously anyway.
36. to Juan
Gotti Junior ,   Little Italy NY   (03.31.06)
Totally wrong! Holocaust survivors ( I met few) are much more tollerant towards other people (Christians for example). They know that dividing people by religion and race doesn't make any sence and only brings unjustice, cause they suffered it. (btw. Holocaust was done in the name of the German race not in the name of Christianity). I'm talking about young generation Israeli, who have got nothing to do with Holocaust. I was in Israel couple of times and I can tell you that I can make you a list of untollerant comments of educated Israeli towards things that are "not jewish". Should I make 1 single exapmle: I watched a movie with them of Steven Spielberg. They said proudly "Steven Spielberg is jewish". I said "yes true". (even though I really don't care about the race or religion). Another day we watched a basketball game of Maccabi Tel Aviv. I said "Anthony Parker is a Christian". 10 Israeli didn't answer. No word. They were quiet and looked a bit weird. Now, where is the tollerance here? They are allowed to point out that one personality is jewish and I'm not allowed to say that the most important Maccabi player is Christian??? I can make u much more examples. I repeat. This is because of your educational system. It'a all about distinguising between "JEHUDI VE LO JEHUDI". While in Europe or America in school we don't learn to distinguish any kind of people. Btw. I brought many examples of Israeli laws that are clearly racist and everybody (even George Bush) know it. But you seem to not comment them. Weird...seems like you are trying to bypass the facts that I'm bringing. Where is your character? And I'm saying it the last time: I support Israel (even though I don't need to since I belong to the Christians majority of the western countries), but I do it because I feel Israel belongs to the west and should fight terrorism same as us and together with us. But, I like to speak open and not putting things "under the carpet". As an Italian-American I'm not afraid to speak directly. I can speak to someone straight to the face. That's open communication or better "communicazione aperta". As my Italian fellow say here.
37. One reason to dislike Christians
Saul ,   NYC   (03.31.06)

42. why don`t you help the other side ?
Abdulrhman Al-ali ,   Kuwait   (08.12.06)
i think there are a lot of innocent injured children in Palestine ? why doesn`t Ronaldinho help them too ? why don`t we just lift up humanity? i don`t think we should take sides with children .. they don`t know anything about politics .. they want to live in peace .. PLEASE for god`s sake .. save the world not to be destroyed .. Islam isn`t the problem .. we people created the problem, not our religion .. we all want to live in peace, please .. Islam,christianity,Jew .. ect thank you ..

44. to ronaldinho
MAK ,   aleppo   (08.14.06)

45. i feel so sad for israeli children !!
meezus ,   cairo,egypt   (08.14.06)
they are threattined by the voice of those small short range missiles of hezalla ..."how many are even injured ??" But the lebanese kids are monsters.. they shouldn't be helped,, because they are already dying with those israeli "american-origin" laser pointed and internationally illegal weapon of phosphoric burn effect and so on.." at least 300 kids dead ,ignoring injuries" when will the israelis stop acting.. and get real..!!!!
46. Double side
Magic ,   Dubai   (08.15.06)
I admire Ronaldinho but its rong to help israel without littile mercy for afghanistan, iraq , phalistin and lebanon.
47. he must donate to lebanese as well

48. Soccer star to aid terror victims
BenTaher ,   Tripoli - Libya   (08.15.06)
Ronaldinho You Are The Best Foolball Player not Football Player
49. Think twice!
Elias ,   Beirut   (08.17.06)
Im sure that Ronie is helping the kids because they're just kids and because he was asked to do so. It is not because they're Israeli's. We all know that Israelis' communitees are strong worldwide and have strong contacts. In addition, it is irrespectful from a superstar like him to refuse such a request for the kids. I have the faith that he would help Lebanese children if he was asked, cause they're the ones who really deserve all the help and support. I wish he would take that side by himself, but it does not seem so, and obviously no Lebanese union is having any contact with him. Think twice about that Ronie!!
50. lebanese childrens!
omar ,   Cairo,Egypt   (08.17.06)
So what about,the lebanese childrens killed every day,doesn't he consider them victoms!!!
51. Shame on Him!!!!
Louay ,   Beirut,Lebanon   (08.18.06)
Standing aside with the attacker, he will be helping the Middle East to be more and more the Middle Beast. He should at least watch some news and read some news-paper before he donates to the "victims".... so he would know who are the real victims.
52. What a ridiculous word!
Muhammad Siam ,   Cairo, Egypt   (08.20.06)
Your deeds to the land did not expire!!!!!! Do you realy beleive your words? and asking What a ridiculous word! I did not think that you have gone that far in ridiculous stories.
53. Praise the criminals
Hani ,   Kuwait   (08.21.06)
The best thing about Israel is that they know how to show themselves as victims while they are the real criminals. How many Lebanese children have died during this Israeli war? Reports say more than 600 children died with the Israeli weapons. If Ronaldinho supports Israel then he will be a criminal too.
54. go to hell
bolong ,   ghana   (08.23.06)
Go to hell Israel and go to hell america
55. Soccer star to aid terror victims
farahdinho... ,   malaysia   (08.23.06)
so stupid !!!!....no more ronaldinho after this...u r so unfair for palestine, lebanon, iraq, and many more...except israel
56. UNTRUE and FAKE
Ronaldinho ,   Real Madrid   (08.23.06)
There is a clarification on Ronaldinho's website stating that this note posted is untrue: "Dear friend, readers, supporters in general and users: Everyone knows the problems that are going on at Israel and Lebanon. Its a worldwide desire that peace become a reality, not only a dream. Its common knowledge that, I'm engaged on social causes and i always try to answer the best way possible. So I come through this to clarify that the note printed on some media is not true. I was not contacted by any organization, entity or social organization of the mentioned countries, and, for that same reason, I'm not committed to act on any kind of thing related to the topic........" http://www.ronaldinhogaucho.com/ Thanks for the lies ynet and israel.
