Any Critiicism of Israel is invariably denounced as Antisemitism. .....Livingston is used as a hate figure by the Zionist because they cant simply stand being Criticised......It reveals much about Zionist Insecurity.

35. #21 "anti-pal stuff"
Rustum ,   London   (04.28.06)
So you send Ken all kinds of "anti-pal stuff". That sounds like "hate propaganda" to me. Why don't you send out "human rights stuff" or equality stuff or pro-life stuff - or maybe you just prefer to bombard our mayor with hate literature. It sickens me that knee-jerkers simply cannot see their own mirror image. Would you, #21, complain if someone said that they sent the mayor "all kinds of anti-Jew stuff"? Simpering idiocy is what you are engaged in.

"WHEN WILL THE JEWS JOIN THE HUMAN RACE..." They are a part of the human race, and they've been treated like crap from idiots like you for quite a long time. Wake up and smell your anti-Semitism moron!

I am very much proud of this guy who is standing firmly against Israeli lies and deciptiona.
38. Mark Rivlin is a legend
Ryan ,   Tel Aviv   (04.29.06)
Mark Rivlin, the inititator of the sticker campaign is a legend. Not only is he one of the funniest and interesting person you are likely to cmeet, he is a zionist of impeccable credentials. Fed up with the Board of Deputies and their inconsequential hush hush meetings, he's got off his backside and done something! The stickers are a humorous way to get across a serious message. The humble bumper sticker may not have brought back Ron Arad but it may just kick ken out. Say NO to Ken. We are all with you over here Mark....
39. 'anti-semitism'
Leon ,   Israel   (04.29.06)
The time has come to call a spade a spade. The word to use is JEW HATRED or HATER. Then the smoke screens of zionism or semitism, whatever they are today,can be blown away and the truth revealed. What is this pathological jew hatred that goes on and on? Why does this rabid racist hate so strongly a community that is much less than 1% of the population of London?

He Is, always was, and always will be, a rabid antisemite. So Why Bother with Stickers, as if it will change him!!!

The best techniques and devices available for the solution of your particular cardiac problem will be used, and with I hope, great sucess". Red Ken: " too bloody glad ya' aint one a them 'ebes. I don' trecckon I could stand ta 'ave one a them messin' Jewboys 'round me, eh?" 'ere Doc, d'ya think I should 'ave all of that stuff in the syringe?" Doctor: Boychik. For you it's poyfect.

" the Jews built a nation with an excellent military out of the ashes of the Holocaust, ". Do you deny the Trillions of $ and the massive support you got from the WEST?. Do you lsten to your leaders begging for more help.? Did you ever hear the actions made by your "excellent Military"?
43. Well Ghandi, lets see...
Marc   (04.30.06)
First off, yes: trillions is an exageration. Even the most anti-semetic sorces (that I've seen, not including you) have total past and present support and loans in the billions (ofcourse being bellow 1000b), the vast majority of it being paid back with interest. I've got to say, I've got a pretty good ear and yet I can't hear anything about Israeli leaders begging for help. As a matter of fact, if you're listening out for beggers, point your ears toward your own PA. From what I understand, their budget is in the negatives and still dropping. As for the "excellent Military", indeed I have heard its actions (those were some pretty loud firecrackers) and read even more about them. I really don't have time to go through everything that makes the IDF excellent but here is a good place to start: http://www1.idf.il/dover/site/mainpage.asp?sl=EN&srch=&id=5&clr=1 Now my question for you: What was your point? Having reread #9 and after answering your questions I don't get what you were trying to get across. Were you just looking for more information? http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA The site hasn't been kept up to date well lately but it should answer some of your questions.
44. Leon - point of information
David ,   Leeds, UK   (04.30.06)
Its perhaps a small point but there at least 200,000 Jewish people in London, far in excess of 1% of the total population of 7,500,000. It is a population heavily concentrated in North West London and carries a lot of political and economic clout. As for Livingstone his is an old fashioned distrust of Jews because they are, in his view, too pushy, too wealthy, too sober, too articulate and too clever for their own good. Actually he has a point but not being Jewish he has no right to think such things let alone say them!
45. #42, Ghandi the idiot from Palestine
Phil ,   US   (04.30.06)
Ghandi, you are so pathetically ignorant and brainwashed that you have no hope. You have no clue of anything other than the hate propaganda that hasw brainwashed you. First, if we're talking about money, the total foreign aid received from mostly the US and diaspora Jewery doesn't compare to the money that Arabs get from oil. Talking about aid, how about the billions Egypt has gotten from both the US and the former Soviet Union. You idiot---do you know how stupid you are if you really believe that Israel has received trillions of dillars in aid. Your cousins have made trillions of dollars from oil and they let you rot in poverty. Israel does have an excellent military and they follow accepted rules of human conduct---not like your fellow animals who target Israeli children and women because your scum are not willing to take on the IDF.Instead of worrying so much about Israel, why don't you urge your leaders to build hospitals, factories, and schools instead of spending their money on suicide bombers.
46. THE UK LONDON JEWS ARE TO BLAME
Sid Emess   (04.30.06)
THEY BROUGHT THIS ON THEMSELVES. EVEN BEFORE HE BECAME MAYOR, AS AN MP - HE WAS ANTI ISRAEL. HOWEVER, THE GALUT MENTALITY REMAINED WITH THE ANGLO JEWISH LEADERS, BOTH THE CHIEF RABBI AND THE BOARD OF DEPUTIES, AND THEY STAYED SILENT WHEN HE SOUGHT ELECTION INTITIALLY AS MAYOR OF LONDON. SO MUCH SO THAT THEY ENCOURAGED THE COMMUNITY TO OPEN UP THEIR SYNAGOGUE HALLS FOR LIVINGSTONE TO ADDRESS LONDON JEWRY TO SEEK THEIR VOTES. ANGLO JEWISH LEADERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEM SELVES - THEY ONLY WISH TO GAIN HONORS AND PANDER TO THE GOYIM OTHERWISE THE ADJUDICATION PANEL WOULD HAVE ACTED LONG AGO!
47. Does England have a right to exist?
Ehud ,   Israel   (04.30.06)
Ken is quoted as having told a UK Jewish publication "that questioning the morality of Israel's foundation was "a perfectly valid thing to say after so many wars." - Let's see. Crusades, the 100 year war with France, WW I, WW II, the Cold War, Falkland, Gulf War I and II - I think to challenge the morality of England's foundation is a perfectly valid thing after so many wars.
48. AND THE LIVINGSTON HATE CAMPAIGN STARTS
Lior ,   London   (04.30.06)
When will the Jews join the human race, Nathan? We always have been - that's why the Holocaust was such a crime. And that's why Ken Livingstone's hate campaign has started - and not before time... He is a nasty, evil minded, politically correct, ideologically sound, leftwing Fascist. Oh, and go and change your name, Nathan, to something more appropriately gentile, will you? Why should you sully the Hebrew language - "God's Gift" you most certainly ain't.
49. #44
Leon ,   Israel   (05.01.06)
You are suffering from delusion.In its heyday London had maybe 250,000 Jews. Today's reality is much less. You write like a jewish jew hater in proposing the outrageous idea that anything Jews do justifies hatred and somewhat arrogantly over value Jewish influence.
50. No. 49
David ,   Leeds, UK   (05.01.06)
My dear Leon, if you were to apply the Law of Return to the population of present day London (one Jewish grandparent qualifies) you would find that of the 7.5 m inhabitants about 1 million have the right to Israeli citizenship - it is you who is out of touch. As for me, I am like you Israeli and don't much like being called a Jew-hater - unlike you I am a fluent Hebrew speaker and don't NEED to read Ynet in English.
51. Hate males
Cindy ,   Israel/UK   (05.01.06)
The uncouth Livingstone fellow must be having a good laugh reading the jew hate jew recent mails. You'r all doing his Jew/Israel hating work better than he does.Well done guys, for showing how ugly (you)we are...
52. #50
leon ,   Israel   (05.01.06)
Unlike you I have a daily subscription to Yediot Ahronot delivered to my Israeli apartment every morning.So stop being sanctimonious- get off your supercillious middle class arrogant backside and use your Ivrit where it will be most useful- here in Israel as I and my family have done for nearly 25 years.I have joint nationality but I proudly call myself Israeli. Why not try it yourself? Demographically you are blind to the reality that in the UK synagogues are closing down ( becoming mosques no doubt) and communities are dying rapidly. So your figures mean nothing as British hatred of Jews grows more evident and open , under the leadership of the likes of Ken L. and the ArchB of Cant.,who omitted Jews as victims of terror but of all things included 'humanists' on last Remembrance Day in the Albert Hall. Wake up to the new world you that will destroy you ultimately.
53. Leon is right, David is a fool

Ghandi ,   palestine   (05.01.06)
Thanks 4 ur "Free of accusations answer", The figure I mentioned came out from some American thinkers. Despite that u can find out Ads like: " out of 4 Israeli childern 1 sleeps hungry" in the Israeli Media. Both our nations are infested with corruption, The Israeli Army is the best but the Iraeli children are hungry and Palestinian children are being victimised. As a man living in the area: I think we should stop 4 a moment and look at the future of our children. The settlements in Gaza consumed more than 53 Bill $, and they were dismantteled. hundreds of people were killed and the evacuees are still living in tents ? !!!. Inavasion of South Lebanon was " A mistake" ?1 Milliona of $ were spend to put settlers in the PoT, now without little explanation some are being removed?!. The leaders and General are commiting mistakes and some times crimes on both sides, we should simply have the right to say enough or at least to ask why, I think this does not make an IDEOT or HOPELSS or even IGNORANT .... as The US Phil thinks, If a man like me can be classified as " brain washed" then what Phill can be?? By the way Phil. My cousins are the Jews not the Arabs. Thanks

david ,   miami   (05.16.06)
the ignorant (nathan) that states the the jews have to join the human race, needs to do some reading to see what the jews have done for humanity , arts , medicine, etc and the fact the criticizing israel is not the problem , the problem is the people that do it all the time as a part time job. just remember who was dancing when the towers came down in september 11 (the poor palestinians). go get some education and then write back .
56. ken livingston
