We are Middle Eastern people. Most Israelis who invaded my country look like me (Just Physically) lol. Im even more white than most of them. You ambassador has inferiority complex. He is an Aussie wannabe. A crocodile fan too??

Called ELLEN are completely stupid !!! Does that make me a racist ???????

and incite hatred amongst the asians..its not like we dont have enought problems with the whole world against us.. How dare he spurt out such rubbish..the world is made of up diversity and colours. As an australian I am insulted for myself and for my Asian friends who I love and who helped built this country. To all my Asians friends, please do not listen to the excessive ramblings of this man, it just goes to show how racist he is.. I apologise to you as an Australian and also as Jew. I hope that they look into this and that he is forced to retract his ridiculous statement and apologise.

In a world of politically correct behaviour his comments were totally inappropriate they reflect his own mentality, in short the man is a racist.. Its a good thing he didnt comment about the indigenous people Aust...and g-d knows what he has to say about (the beautiful and wonderful) Ethopians who came to Israel (and are treated poorly). He made a horrible Faux pas considering his status . I hope that the Israeli Govt. will issue an apology, demote him and send him back to Israel...let's see him make those kind of remarks here..we will decimate him.

Doesn't it bother anybody that he is saying that both Israel and Australia are in asia? Are they hiring now people with no school education now? Doesn't he know where he is? Didn't he see the ocean?

Is this moron trying to out-offend Mel Gibson on his home turf or what?

This moron of an embarrassment is, most likely, a connected person, a histadrut 'player' and was OWED a bit of Protekzia, hence an important ambassadorship. This one MUST be recalled and disciplined, and replaced, perhaps even with an Anglo-Israeli oleh. Oh, but that couldn't happen because Anglos are forbidden to have decent government jobs, here!!!

Is there an Israeli consular office on Ascension Island? I think I know where his next job will be.

What the .....? Australia is a multicultural country, with laws that have teeth to protect the rights of individual Australians of every background. Australians are black, red, yellow, white, purple or combinations thereof, which is more likely - after all, is anyone totally black, red, yellow, etc.? They have slanted-up eyes, slanted-down eyes, round eyes, black, brown, blue, green eyes or combinations thereof. Most of the comments above assume that to call someone anything but white is an insult. In this country the word "white" can be used as an insult too. Whatever the Ambassador may or may not have said, we hope that all foreign representatives to our country will have sufficient knowledge of our laws and culture to communicate effectively with us. If the comments quoted were actually made, this diplomat would have been breaking Australian law, and whether or not he left this country might depend on the Australian, as well as the Israeli Government. And as for Mel Gibson on his home turf, he was born in the USA, came to Australia in 1956, and has been quoted as saying he hates this country so much he has rejected Australian citizenship.

OK the language of the Ambassador was clumsy but the gist was accurate. Most Asians are 'slant eyed' that is an observation not a slur. Most do not share the culture of the West in terms of their religion. They have little or no knowledge of Judaism and their voting at the UN shows a shameful willingness to back anti-Israel resolutions so as to keep close to the Arab/Moslem world. Sometimes however, these truths must be stated diplomatically without resort to talking about racial characteristics which are unimportant compared to culture, beliefs and attitudes. In this regard, Israel and Australia share much more with each other than they do with other Asia cultures.

of Israeli media's suicidal mania. If you read this closely, the fact that the statement was made the way it is reported has not been confirmed. Yet both Haaretz and Ynet have already plastered it all over. You guys don't need more than a foot-long rope to hang yourselves.

really,ISRAEL &AUSTRALIA are very different to rest of all ASIA in middle east the majority of peple for example is brown and INDIA is brown and black,in orient asia are yellow,but israel and australia are whites ,it´s true okay.

todays posters gaved this guy what he merit as : idiot , rasict , stupid , jerk , moron , remember that he come from a Zionist cutural background . think it over he is not a passer by he is a DIPLOMAT

Do you even understand what Zionism is? It is a secular ideology based on promoting the security and well-being of the Jewish people in the form of a sovereign, democratic state. That's it. Anything you add beyond this much about racism is completely your own desire to pervert and personalize what Zionism means to fit your own racist and perverted notions on Jews and this nationalist ideology. Israel is a very multicultural, 'multiracial' country as you would surely know if your head weren't buried 10 feet under European soil.

Firstly, Austrailia isn't even in Asia. Secondly Oriental people aren't the only people in asia and Jews are also of asian decent (not east asian, but west asian). Finally how inappropriatte, distasteful backward and ignorant it is to refer to people sharing similar characteristics, by those characteristics. Would he like it if people refered to semites as the hook noses? BTW I also prefer to refer to 'blacks' as people of sub-saharan African or Caribean decent.

All the supposingly "anti-zionist" are showing their true anti-semite colors .

The other posters that were not Zio0nists were too busy taking cheap shots at Jews and Israeli's. At least we condemn and demand that our extremists be taken to justice. I only with you and yours would have behave the same.

It is not surprising to find such racist comments by a representative from Israel. For the Ambassadors information, Australia is far closer geographically to Asia than it is to the Middle East. Whatever the geographical locations of the nations in the world I am quite sure that most Australians wish all the best for people in all nations.

We are all G-d's children. The political representatives of the various nations should recognize this fact.

So shut your racist mouth. Israel was never meant to be a white nation, and it most certainly is NOT a white nation.

That visible light has all the colors of the light spectrum, striking an object. The yellow man absorbs every color on the surface of his skin. He is green, black, blue, white, purple, red and so forth. The only color his body doesn,t absorb is yellow. He reflects it away from his skin. That is why all of us ignorant idiots can see it! So, when a white man says he hates black people......He is actually saying he hates himself. His skin absorbs that black color that he detests so much. The same goes for every other color of human being. Go into a dark closet-----do you see any colors? Without visible light, there are no colors. Your body absorbs all those wonderful colors, and barfs out the mucky color that you identify yourself with. Anotherwards, you aren't the color that everyone sees. Your skin won't absorb it. Does that mean my skin is a rascist? Because it doesn't absorb certain colors? Maybe I should have someone beat me up, because my skin doesn't like the nasty color that I am forcing other humans to see!

It is true what he said. If it is true, it can be said. In Amerca many Afro-Americans are referred to as Blacks. There are three colors in the human race. White (which isn't really after a summer in the sun), Blacks, and Reds. \ Let's all give it up to be constantly offended over insignifcant things. Let's stop getting exorcised and all hot and bothered over everything Bullets kill. Words don't.

Your're right, I shouldn't lable all the Jews of Israel as racist. I digress. But I am not anti-semetic by any stretch, and I take offense to such an accusation. But the state of Israel does have racist tendencies when it deals with Palestinians or Muslims. Also some of the posts I read on this site from Jews are full of hatred of the worst kind. Having said that, I am encouraged by the talkbacks I see in this particular story.

he stinks!!!

his views conflicts with mine. if he wasn't born an Israeli, he would be gladly be a WN! as his views reflects their's.

You write:"I feel Jewish, ..". Yes. We are ALL human beings - with different colors. We can not hide that. Although the color exist - we look at them as human beings. And we (if we are allowed) judge their activities - not looking at their color. Also ALL the religions have human beings as their members with different colors. So, we (if we are able, otherwise we do not) judge their performance of their religious activities - not looking at their color. So, looking at the color is of NO importance. We are ONLY interested in the activities of the human being: whether secular or religious activities.

if the majority os jews are white,don´t problem,it´s true:I DON´T UNDERSTAND YOUR ANGRY with your PM in australia,jews and americans are "white cousins"
