31. Arnold Cohen
Simon ,   London GB   (01.26.07)
Arnold Cohen or Rabbi Aharon Cohen as he likes to call him self, even though has does not have S'micah will be spending this Sunday (holocaust memorial day in Europe) addressing a Moslem conference in Rochdale near Manchester. He will be sharing a platform with Left wing and Moslem anti zionists and anti semites. Why the hell should'nt both Israel and Jewish world shun him. Its not that we disagree with him its the fact he puts Jewish people in danger. Free speech is a great apiration but even this has limits.
32. #4 Yacov, how do I find you in Ashkelon?
Chanan ,   USA for now   (01.26.07)
We could potentially have a lot of topics in common to discuss. Write to me if you can chananmoshe@gmail.com
33. Diverse Opinion
Afzal ,   Lahore, Pakistan   (01.26.07)
Israel prides itself in listening to diverse opinion, so how come that same Israel is not allowing people who know the truth to speak up? I agree there was holocaust but the facts and figures have been much much hyped by the media and what is wrong if these guys speak up the truth?
34. RUSTDUMMY
jerome ,   basalt, co   (01.26.07)
Rustumcan know history, fact and write well. This doesn't change the fact that he is hateful, onesided and prejudgemental. Having some knowlege doesn't make a person fair or smart. Rustum's arrogance is classic insecerity or small mans complex.
35. Neturei Karta

Some very interesting comments on the subject of banning NK from Israel after they attended the "conference" in Teheran. Someone mentioned that no Jew should be denied entrance to Israel. The fact that they were in attendance is vile enough, but after the despicable scenes of one of the NK kissing the savage of Iran, the same savage that wants to "wipe Israel off the map", I am extremely satisfied that the NK will be banned from entering my country. We have enough enemies, without so called "rabbis" spitting in our faces.

Jasmin ,   Haifa   (01.26.07)
First of all, it was more than just verbal supposrt and second, that's pretty easy for you to say from the safe distance of Kew Gardens.
37. Good news, but it's not enough
Tracy W   (01.26.07)
Naturei Karta do not support the government, so it was easy to make the decision to exile them. However, I agree with other readers that there are other much more destructive enemies of Israel within the country. I think that there is a good case for those Leftist groups to be charged with treason. But nothing will happen to them, of course, not while this government pursues its plans for Israel.
38. Afzal, 33
Simon ,   London GB   (01.26.07)
Afzal, not sure where you got your education but the undisputed facts are that prior to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany before WWII there was 18 Million Jews in the World by the end of WWII there were 12 Million left. Simple maths says that 6 Million died. even today there are about 15 Million Jews in the World.
39. just had a dream...

n k people (?) being interviewed on cnn live by a guy who claims to be a jew from khazakhstan.
40. To Jasmin #36
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (01.26.07)
Why is it every time I make a point on YNet I get at least one response about me being in New York? Who cares where I am from, let's discuss the content of my talkback. As for NK giving more than verbal support, I never saw any evidence of that and your statement is conclusory. If it is true, as I stated in my earlier email, then they should be banned. I have not seen any proof of them doing anything more than verbal support. While that is disgusting and should be condemned in the loudest terms, it is not reason to ban someone from Israel. Israel does not belong to Bar On, it belongs to the Jewish people. It was not a gift from Hersl, it is a gift from God. If they ban NK because they are anti-Zionist, then next week they will ban others who are anti-disengagement or others still that are anti the security fence or others that are anti the "occupation." It does not matter what your political beleifs are, we should all be appalled at this violation of freedom of speech.
41. one question
blaine ,   seattle wa   (01.26.07)
is not the best way to come to some sort of common ground to actually engage in a discussion? free speech should not be restricted we need the view from all sides before we ever stand a chance of knowing truth and changing errant ways of thinking
42. Kol L'koved to Israel and to his wife who filed for divorce
Elana ,   Pa. USA   (01.26.07)
43. Name and pictures of all these deniers should be put in a
honest man ,   los angeles   (01.26.07)
website. that is all , not any form of insult, or deragatory statement let everybody knows that who are these people, and the name of the website should be "www.JewsForHollocaustDeniers.org
44. Comparison
charles ,   petach tikva   (01.26.07)
How can some compare the iran master kissers to Israelis , who fought in Israels wars , Who have a idea , maybe wrong , for a peacefull solution . Do they want to wip Israel off the map ? Some anti leftist are so blind that they see no difference . And , if those you call , leftists are wrong , give me a concrete solution . A possible one . Then you'll be a little bit smarter than by calling them traitors . Finally an official , non religious , body has put a sort of cherem on those guys . When will the Rabbanut do the same ?
45. Moslems read verify your quran! Jesus is truth!
JLS   (01.26.07)
The Quran bears surprising witness to Jesus. It affirms His virgin birth; His ability to heal and raise the dead; that He is both a word from God and a spirit from God; that He is the Messiah; that He is an all-righteous one (sinless) and among those nearest to God; that He is alive in Heaven now; and that He will return to judge the earth (Quran 3:45, 49; 4:158; 89:22). In a careful reading of Quranic references (3:83-84; 5:46-47; 10:37, 64, 94; 46:12), it appears that Muhammad affirmed his belief in what was revealed to Moses and Jesus. He taught that God confirms and guards all previous Scripture; that Christians are to stand fast on their own books of the Law and the Gospel; and that none can change the Word of God.
46. #27 - Thank you for that post.....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (01.26.07)
Well written and true. Kyle from Southpark is a windbag boar, and Rustum from London is a dishonest intellectual. I am sick of seeing the crap posted by these two, but for the very different reasons you underscored.
47. Maybe people who deny that 700,000 Palestinians were ethnica
Apartheid ,   Methuen USA   (01.26.07)
ethnically cleansed from Israel should be banned from all Muslim countries.
48. WHAT ABOUT DEMOCRACY & OTHERS' OPINION?
(01.26.07)
49. Answer to #47
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.26.07)
They are already banned from all Moslem countries.
50. Banning Jews
Robert Firth ,   Singapore   (01.27.07)
Israel bases her right to exist on the Torah, where God gave the land to the Jews in a perpetual covenant. By banning even one Jew from entering the Land, the Israeli government have broken that covenant, and in doing so have destroyed Israel's right to exist. What Judgement will follow, who knows?
51. fith column
alex ,   UK   (01.27.07)
What about deporting the enemies from within? I'd say a good 70% are fith column.
52. To #12
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.27.07)
You chastise me, yet, you're the one who calls people freaks. Personally, I don't know any freaks, Jewish or otherwise. It is, however, my opinion that it was way off the wall for any Jew to dignify that "conference" with his presence. That's like hanging out in strip joints and justifying it by insisting that it's done in the name of improving the girls' working conditions. Yeah, right. For either situation, I'm sure, there would have been/are better ways to accomplish the objective.
53. To #25 :-)
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.27.07)
Heck, if I know! Do a little genetic engineering and turn them into Samoans? I don't deal with the little details; just with the big pictures :-)
54. 11
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
You do the same thing as #2 by calling Zionists facists. Don't come back and say, but I said extreme right wing blah blah blah. A Zionist is a person who believes that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state, that's it. Not a facist, not a murderer, not a Nazi...a human being trying to live in peace as a Jew.
55. 12
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
You are a psedo intellectual liar...or better yet half truth teller. The NK believe that the Holocaust happened and is the sole fault of the Jews for not following the Torah as the NK believe it should be followed. Who are they to to have such gale as to claim to know G-D's mind. Further to blame the murdered and not the murderer...you may fit right in with them!
56. 17
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
The problem with your argument is that the NK and Iran are trying, quite opening, to destroy the State of Israel. Just as any country would not allow an enemy of the State to roam freely, nor should Israel.
57. 24...well said
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
58. 33...I wonder if you're so open to all 'diverse opinion"?
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
59. 33 & 38-The records were the Nazis records...deal with it 33
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
60. 47...
truth strikes again   (01.27.07)
Telling the truth openly is already against the law in most Muslem countries.
