But what more could I expect from my old pal? Thanks for the great article.... first time I have smiled all week - living as I do in the general area "south of Haifa". If anyone can influence the "intelligencia of the foreign press" it's you! And thanks to you, David Garth, for the first proper laugh I have had in ages even though I didnt understand the in joke.

i'm with her - those terrorists want to kill her and me both. and they will hand out sweets and celebrate if they do so. i'm not jewish but i know enough to know who the good guys are and i support them 100% against islamo-fascists and their ilk. we like to live here. nice people, good food.

This article seems to capture the conflict in very human terms. I appreciate the honesty!
9. Just ask these anti-semitic journalists
Me   (07.28.06)
to give you the exact date of when they want the Jewish population in Israel to roll over and die. That's the true headlines they're waiting for!!!
10. to #6
Arlene ,   Israel   (07.28.06)
Hilda, Can you re-read the article? Where do you think the writer has an Arab wife? And if he does... There are couples here who are Jewish and Arab. the article was well written from a humanistic point of view. Arlene

12. Anti Semitic #6
Mikulas ,   Bratislava, Slovakia   (07.29.06)
How is it your business? I find it great that different people live together in peace...Arabs live in Israel and are treated very correctly by most Israelis, except for a bunch of retards who did not learn from Jewish history. Are you a Jew? I hope not.

This article has made me realise why we are here in Israel on holiday and did not cancel our trip! We have seen signs in the shops telling us 'Discount for brave tourists'....... ......We are not the brave ones! We are very proud of you Marcus!
