31. Gibson Supports Hizbollah!!LMAO
Californian ,   LA   (08.05.06)
Here we go..Now they will start rumors that Gibson is a Hizbollah Supporter or a Pro Lebanese Fighter. It is so Funny
32. RE: barbara walters, Oy vey is mir!
wolfrunner ,   san diego ca usa   (08.05.06)
Don't even get me started on that over-the-hill yenta. I can't stand her elmer fudd vocal imitations and she should have retired a long time ago. As for poor Mel, as a Christian myself, I am appalled at his drunken comments. What's the old saying? "In vino veritas." If that's how he really feels about Jews I am truly saddened. Even rich Arab sheiks that I know in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Kuwait tell me, "Daniel, the Jews? They ARE the Chosen People of God!" Of course, they say it with jealousy in their hearts because they know that as sons of Ishmael, they are not the Chosen Ones.
33. Mel Gibson
Jude Gentile ,   Syracuse New York   (08.05.06)
Mel was wrong to pick on the Jews for starting all wars even if they did start the current one against Lebanon. And Mr. Hanania is wrong to blame Christianity for anit-Semitism. Historically, it was Jews persecuting christians long before christians became strong enough to persecute Jews.
34. Hanania Hatred
Jay ,   Bsoton USA   (08.05.06)
You angry little man. First, Arabs are Semites, and as such, are rarely antisemiitic. Second, Iranians aren't Arabs, and thus can be antisemitic. However their regime's support of so many Arab causes suggests that they, too, are probably not antisemitic. And believe it or not, most Iranians probably do know who Mel Gibson is. I suggest that it is best to leave one's mouth shut and remain thought-stupid.
35. Hanania blah blah blah. Stupid and useless prattle.
Yakov ,   Ashkelon   (08.05.06)
An absolute waste of Ynet column space. Can't Ynet editors find anything more interesting and thoughtful to print than Hanania's dribble?
36. #7 Laurie: When kassams and katyushas land in Thousand Oaks
Bennie   (08.05.06)
What will you do then? Invite Hizbollah to a Valley Girl party and share some quality time with them in the hot tub over a cold Dom Perignon? You've already spent too much time in the California sun. Your brain cells are fried.
37. "The Passion" : Gibson's Mein Kampf
Avi ,   NYC   (08.05.06)
Gibson got away with his anti-Semitic movie and made a few hundred million in the process. Now he is more blatant and is getting millions in free publicity. The Hollywood Jewish community and movie executives need to stop giving Gibson a pass. Unless, of course, they would sell-out Judaism for the $$$ Gibson can make them.
38. Jews in media more worried about $$$ than Judaism
Moshe ,   Hollywood   (08.05.06)
Jews in media industry let Gibson get away with "The Passion" Jew-bashing propaganda film, and shared in the $600 million profits. Now they don't want to take a stand against Gibson for fear he won't help them make more $$$ in future films. No different than Nazi collaborators.
39. How did Gibson know the cop was Jewish?
Rick ,   Vancouver, Canada   (08.05.06)
Ray brings up a good point... I would never have guessed that a name like" Mee" was a Jewish name, so how did Gibson know he was Jewish?. I'll go out on a limb and propose that Mee said something derogatory to Gibson about the film "Passion of the Christ". Also, he continually alludes to anti-semitism around the world. Maybe so, but I think if we were to differentiate anti-semitism from anti-zionism, the anti-semitism number would be reduced by 90%. Most people around the world disagree with the atrocities Zionists have inflicted on Arabs in the near east, I dont think most people have a problem with Judaism. Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews, its an important distinction.
40. To # 11
Bill Hutchinson ,   Hillsboro Or USA   (08.05.06)
Thank You. That was very well put.
41. anti semitism
yahoel ,   manasses   (08.05.06)
not the christians not the romans not even pharoh try the ishmalites
42. diversity training manual
D Chapman ,   Falls Church , VA   (08.05.06)
I don't believe that the original diversity training manual was written in Hebrew, Arabic, or Yiddish.
43. defend jews attacka Catholic and shiites
jose ,   usa   (08.05.06)
i think the writer is anti Catholic and shiites, if he wants people to to respect his faith and not judge all his people for onesmistakes he should start dowing the same, from Gibson comments to say that Catholics theahs hate, judge all shiite from the Ahmadinajad, let me say sir, you are a racist....
44. what is this moron talking about?
bill ,   new york, usa   (08.05.06)
"His name has become more synonymous with attacks on Jews than Hizbullah these days." "he's not even arab and he can't shake impression that he is anti semitic" you have got to be kidding me. i think it is quite funny that this guy actually refers to himself as a comedian after reading this rambling mess deviod of any comedy. and award winning? did he find his award in a box of lucky charms? this guy is a moron. it is not difficult to detect a subtle level of anti-semitism from the "comedian" himself. and trying to excuse gibson's remarks as the result of intoxication. whatever happened to an adult being accountable for his or her actions? this guy even looks like a prick in his picture.
45. Pour Mel
Tony k ,   toronto   (08.05.06)
The truth of the matter is we all cast stones, without a conscious understanding of the impending tidal waves we create.
46. #30
jason ,   usa   (08.05.06)
yes it did after jesus died people thought jews killed him(when it was the romans who did it) so they started to kill them
47. Gibson is an antisemite, but not a big one like you, Ray!
Eilon ,   Jerusalem   (08.05.06)
48. Why use the a-word?
Mikael Wallgren ,   Umeå, Sweden   (08.05.06)
Use the word "racism" instead. Take it tougether with "towards jews" if you wan´t to, but why a special word? The nazis where quite rough towards all "not superior" races. It´s a pity that the history writers never give the same light on the story of the Romani people, the travellers. Even today they are badly chased, but no speaks for them. Racism is racism, so simple is it! (That really is obvious in this forum, some calling Arabs for anymals, for exampel)
49. To: #30
Sandra ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.05.06)
The term anti-Semitism was brought into being by Hitler. It was specifically meant to refer to the Jewish race. Not Arabs.
50. why
(08.05.06)
why you mix up anti-simitism with anti-Jews , i know that it's much easier for the Jews to accuse anyone do not agree with them with anti-simitism than to look for the real reasons that the others do not agree with them .... the old zionists did teach the next generations to do this and they are the best on the earth and anyone against them he is anti-simitic whenever most of the Arabs are simitics too but it's easy so and it was a way to blackmail people to shut their mouthes against what the Jews did and still doing to the Palistinians .... the Jews has to get rid of this old brocken disc to live with us in this life and they have to know that zionism do not help the Jews but they hurt them more bfore they have been hated by the Nazis but now by most of the world , the Jews had no problems in Arab world before the zionists spoiled this relationship ... ask any senior Jew lived in any Arab country before 1948 how was the relationship with the rest of the citizems Muslims and Christians .. Israel will not have future in this area if they will not open their eyes and change completly their way of life and to try to love their naigbors and to give back enough land that the Palistinians can live normal like the other people .... otherwise no peace ans safty Israel and no security for all ... you should learn 60 years passed and no progress , you tried everything and it didn't work till now ... is it not time to change ??? try and sure you will lose more than you loos now .... Shalom
51. Gibson
Nachash Tsefah ,   Tel Aviv   (08.05.06)
Don't condemn him, don't talk about him, just make sure that no Jewish studio / agents / distribution co in Hollywood go near him. He can pursue his career with the goyim; we shouldn't have anything to do with him.
52. I like this guys, and I agree with him!
(08.05.06)
and share his thoughts about Zionists but not Jews Jews are ok but Zionists are not! Jews are welcomed to live where ever they like, as christians who live in arab world with all of their civil-rights guranteed but no to ZIONISTS
53. russian proverbs
nul ,   jerusalem   (08.05.06)
As a great drinking nation Russians knew what they were talking about when they made up a very popular proverb. In rough translation: "What he thinks when sober he says when drunk".
54. #15
rey ,   Israel   (08.05.06)
Alex, you are so monotonous with your Israel hating. One can predict before reading your comment what you are going to say.
55. MEL SAID HIS WIFE IS GOING TO HELL
DEBRA ,   USA   (08.05.06)
BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A CATHOLIC. THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED 26 YEARS. THIS MEL GIBSON WRETCH IS A REAL PIECE OF WORK. OY GAVALT.
56. Mel's thinking - Any validity?
Zazoo Pitts ,   St Louis, MO   (08.05.06)
I believe Mel should have shut his mouth, but hey, if you could read another person's mind you would be shocked and scared. My question is how did Mel or other anti-semites come to these conculsion. Let the media take a look at what he said and prove the existence or non-existence of this secret jewish power. Is there truth to anything he said.
57. Why did Ynet publish this rambling senseless article?
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem   (08.05.06)
This is a pointless article with a crticial tone towards the Jewish community.
58. #6 Mel Gibson
(08.05.06)
Yeah, and I'm a blue-eyed Nigerian...Barbara Walters (or however you prounce that last name) is an unabashed NY centrist/elitist who most likely disdains not only Mel G. but that entire "rube" Tinseltown crowd...Jewish or Gentile. Let's see who can show forgiveness to Mel Gibson. New York? Hollywood? middle America? Israel? The applause-meter is set.....?? Kent Houser USA
59. Free speech...
Pat ,   Atlanta, GA   (08.05.06)
allows one to express his opinions in an open forum; even if the opinion is moronic, idiotic, hypocritical, and yes, anti-semitic (oops, anti- Israeli). And, thus we have Ray Hanania. "But," you say, "Ray is married to a Jew." That's right, he has "street cred"; he only despises Jews who refuse to live in peace with his beloved palestinians - which means only those Jews who won't quit the dream of a homeland in Israel. That's unfair.. only those Jews who are not in favor of the "Right of Return"; refuse to dismantle any obstacle restricting palestinian movement in and around Judea and Samaria; and, continue to insist on their right of self-defense.
60. Hanania the anti-semite has no credibility
Irv ,   Chicago   (08.05.06)
How does this Hanania clown dare write about anti-semitism, when he himself is one of the biggest anti-semites AND his whole "comic" career is contradicting himself. He is also a bad writer and his articles make no sense. Why give him any platform?
