31. Divine Expulsion???? To #21
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.23.07)
Have you tried to explain that concept to our Native Americans??? I'm sure they'd be thrilled to no end to hear of that one and would thank you for pointing it out. Yeah, right! Geezus, what other asshole theory will some people come up with next?
32. There are Isreli Extremists too
Observer ,   The Netherlands   (01.23.07)
Reading into the article, it is quite obvious that this incident is not an official policy of the Government of Yemen. It is just a group of extremists whosae acts are as deplorable as those of the Israeli extremists from the settler movement, who attack Palestinian while trying to harvest their land or in the recent incident (reported on this website) of a Jewish setler attacking a Palestinian family and abusing their children. However, the difference here is that all acts of abuse by Israeli extermists are carried out under the watchful (read protective) eyes of the heroes of the IDF. It is the Israeli official policy of murder and abuse and the subsequent anger it breeds among the Arab population, which is providing grounds for extremists like these. Jews are still living in Tunisia, Morrocco, and other parts of Yemen, and they have no trouble or problems with their neighbours. What some contributors mentioned about Jewish synagogues in Arab countries is just Zionist propaganda that can be refuted by any tourist who have visited Morrocco, Tunisia, Egypt or Yemen. The problem here is that Zionism needs anti-semitism for public relations scores and to provide Israel with more immigrants to face the so called Palestinian demographic time bomb.
33. How can we help?
Matt Harris ,   Chicago, IL   (01.23.07)
Where can we send money? Who can we write? Does anyone know?
34. HAS EVERYONE HERE MISSED THE POINT!
Elana ,   Pa. USA   (01.23.07)
They should not have to leave and they certainly should not be threatened. THE POINT: Like all Arab countries, they want all Jews and Christians OUT! Maybe, the same tactics should be taking place in other countries. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
35. #2 proves that Arabs consider all of Israel 'Palestine'
Beth Landau ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.23.07)
Arabs do not want a state beside Israel, they want a state INSTEAD of of Israel. Number two proves that very point. The suggestion that peace would come if Israel withdrew to the 1967 lines leaves us with the question why Arabs tried to destroy Israel in 1967 while Israel was within those lines. It also leaves us with the question why the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was founded in 1964, long before the so-called "occupation" even began.
36. #2 Disturbing? It's per course in ALL muslim countries.
AK   (01.23.07)
After all ALL Jews had to be ethnically cleansed out of Gaza and ALL Arab areas. I don't see any Jews living in 'Arab' villages in israel. Why? After all you're safe to live in Tel Aviv.
37. #14, Barry, Haifa is in Israel not imaginary Palestine.
AK   (01.23.07)
But maybe the Israelis can trade that disloyal Israeli Arab for those Yemeni Jews? Seems fair to me.
38. #15, What if Israelis start learning from you, Arabs.
AK   (01.23.07)
Then you could get a letter to clear out or else. You're so certain that the Israelis are and will remain civilized, but what if they should start imitating you? Ever gave that a though?
39. Paul, how many Arabs are not Jew haters?
AK   (01.23.07)
Any numbers?
40. #36
#36 ,   Palestinian   (01.23.07)
Jews of Gush Katif were occupying settlers who were rightly withdrawn. And yes in theory i am free to live in tel aviv, but in practise i am not. Unfortunately the racism in this country is very crafty and well hidden. And there are many Jews living in Palestinian towns in here, namely Akka, Haifa, Yafa, and Nazareth.
41. hey beth (35), is it any secret to you they want it ALL?
webguy ,   US&A   (01.23.07)
i fully agree with the points you bring up, but sadly, none of this comes as a big surprise; just reading #2 and 36 goes to show they consider towns inside israel's borders as occupied 'palestinian' land.
42. # 40 and everybody else
ESK ,   Yehuda, ISRAEL !!!   (01.23.07)
Start reading your Bible. In this way your ignorance will be deminished gradually. If you do not understand what Bible is, in the Arabic language it is called: EL KITAB EL MUKADAS. Do not laugh Jews, you also do not take time to read what you suppose, that is why Israel is full of rubbish. The Bible in Hebrew is called TANACH, go and read it maybe you will quit rubbishing the heritage of the real ISRAEL. God promised to bring the Jews from every country around the world where they are, including Yemen (!). Now it is the time of the fisherman, sometime later to come, is the time of the hunter. Watch out (!!!).
43. Send Them TO india
ameya ,   india   (01.23.07)
i am from india and totaly disturbed by suuch a threat by fanatic Jihadis and terrorist who have issued such a threat to the Jews of Yemen. If they Dont Want To Go to Israel..send them TO INDIA..which is the ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHICH HAS SO ABSOLUTELY NO PERSECUTION OF JEWS IN 2000 YEARS OF INDIAN JEWRY. NE WAYS ITS A DUTY OF YEMEN TO PROTECT THEM!
44. #43 Ameya - India is a great country!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.24.07)
What a wonderful thing - no persecution of Jews in India for 2000 years! G-D will surely bless India!
45. #43 INDIA AND ANTI-SEMITISM
Bob ,   Perryville, MD USA   (01.31.07)
While there is a rich Jewish heritage in India, perhaps back to Biblical times, it is sad that only today Arutz 7 reports anti-semitic cartoon of Jews depicted in talitot and handing out food that is implicitly drug-laced. This appeared in an area where many tourists, including Israeli's, pass and it is presented as a security tip. See Arutz Sheva January 31, 2007. Hopefully what is great about India will fix what is wrong today in India.
