31. SPANISH ARE COWARDS AND THE SHAME OF EUROPE
(01.31.07)
32. Ali
israeli ,   israel   (01.31.07)
I guess taking offense is alright. However, responding violently is not. If we were to follow the muslim example, then we should be assailing the Spanish embassy right now - trying to burn it down actually, burning flags and effigies, shouting Death to Spain, etc etc. I thing basically that's the difference. Also, you are unafraid to post on Israeli sites. I for one am extremely scared of VISITING any Lebanese site. I think hezbollah can somehow pinpoint my address and start shooting katyushas at my house. Salaam!
33. #24
Dan ,   USA   (01.31.07)
The answer is very simple. The thing is Muslims understand things very differently. They always think that everything the western media reports is a lie. First of all, the whole 6+ million jews thing being killed was a fact. Were 6 million palistinians killed in 1948? No, I believe someone on here stated they ran like cowards when the jewish state was created. It's not that we have a problem with things being done for them. It's a problem with people doing things for them IN SPITE of us. Just to spite us. We had a holiday for the Holocaust, so on the same day someone creates a palistinian holiday and cancels the jewish holiday? Wouldnt you be angry? About the Mohammad comic thing, comics are a JOKE. Muslims dont know how to take a joke. Ever see a (radical) Muslim laugh without a gun in his hand?
34. It's always a good day for an inquisition in Spain
Reality check ,   BaGolan   (01.31.07)
35. #1> REMEMBER THE SPANISH INQUISITION?
QUEEN ISABELLA ,   KILLED MILLIONS   (01.31.07)
THEY WIPED OUT MILLIONS OF "PEOPLE" THE MAYANS THE AZTECS ETC ETC.ALL FOR THEIR BELIEF IN THEIR CHURCH THEY TRIED TO WIPEOUT THE JEWS WHO DID NOT CONVERT MAIMONIDES LEFT SPAIN READ THE PIZARRO DIARIES REMEMBER , NEVER FORGET
36. to #1. heard of the inquisition?
(01.31.07)
37. Granada, Cordoba back for Muslims!
Gabriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (01.31.07)
Spanish were the executors of the biggest genocide in Middle Age and the "right hand" of the Vaticans killer machine. It seems they didn't learn from history. In the EU there is Holocaust Day, on the 27th of January... If the Spansih don't want to remember on this day, that means they exclude themselves from the comuntiy of European nations. Let's get Granada and Cordoba back to the Muslims!
38. Palestinian Genocide
Jeff ,   Silver Spring, USA   (01.31.07)
Did I miss something in the news? The Palestinian genocide must have been missed by the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and every other major paper. Maybe the National Lampoon picked it up.
39. Boycott Spain
Jessica ,   USA   (01.31.07)
Guess we will be cancelling our spring break trip to Spain!
40. This is a small town, but....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.31.07)
How many more people feel like this across Europe? The European media, which I am sure is left-wing has managed to create a sense of sorrow for Palestinians. Even though they kill each other all the time, brainwash their kids to become suicide bombers and always preach hatred towards Isarel. As for using the term Genocide, this is jsut plain idiotic. Palestinian population has grown in the past decades, right? threfore, no genocide. People in Europe need to start understanding the Arab/ Muslim mind before they scream bloody murder at Israel.
41. Correct use of Genocide
Vincent Perret ,   Zurcich Switzerland   (01.31.07)
The Nazi's commited Genocide against the Jews, Sinti and others including arabs (as semites and therefore "lower" than arians) . So it is the "German Genocide" of the Jews. Palestinian Genocide of what? Israelis? The answer there is Yes when they blow themselves up in public busses, restaurants and so on. There were obviously also instances where jews killed arabs only because they are arabs ,that's genocidial too. But i don't believe Israel as state ever commited Genocide even if Sharon tolerated it in Sabra and Shatila. Remember Dylan's song: If G'd is on our side, he will stop the next war.
42. Spain
Kerry Winn ,   Las Vegas, USA   (01.31.07)
The Spanish Inquisition massacred many! The Spanish forced conversion or expulsion upon many as well. This was 500 or so years ago.
43. Atilla
PS ,   Netanya   (01.31.07)
Your posts are encouraging, you sound like someone who genuinely wants peace and respects both sides. All the best to you.
44. Thank you Spanish people!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (01.31.07)
Thank you for your calls and support. They 'remember' when they were occupied by the Muslims!!
45. THEY SHOULDNT HAVE HOLOCAUST DAY ANYWHERE EXCEPT ISRAEL
andrew ,   miami,fl   (01.31.07)
46. Palestinian Genocide Day
Chatich   (01.31.07)
While we're visiting fantasyland, we may as well plan some additional fictitious memorials for other various myths and non-entities. How's about unicorn's day? Loch-ness monster week? Honesty in the mainstream media month? Competent governance by Kadima night? How about a ceremony to mark the emergence of the fabled "moderate muslim"? Needless to say, this shameless attempt to legitimize pal propaganda is a perfect example of how baseless lies and spin can prosper and flourish among unsuspecting masses of the brainless.
47. #1 are u insane, or do you just not know history?
#1 go back to school ,   learn history   (01.31.07)
Spain perpetrated the Inquisition and exiled the Jews from its territories around the time of Columbus. They were the authors of the notorious auto da fe, in which practicing religious Jews who had conversion forced on them were burned alive in the public square along with other "heretics." 1,000 years of tolerance for the Jewish people? I THINK NOT.
48. Holocaust Day in Spain
Meyer ,   Paris   (01.31.07)
Phone your reaction to the city hall of Ciempozeulos : 00 34 918930004
49. Spanish hicks need to get their collective loboomy reversed
Unbelievable insult ,   from Spain as usual   (01.31.07)
Both the mayor from this little hick town in Spain and Jimmy Carter obviously have very impoverished vocabulary skills and need to be reminded of the definitions of words like "genocide" and "apartheid." They need to carry a dictionary with them at all times to compensate for their learning disabilities.
50. Real Nice
Margaret   (01.31.07)
I wonder how the mayor of the Spanish town might explain to the Israeli families of the victims of Palestinian terorism just exactly how their committing genocide against the nice Arabs who murdered their loved ones? When in reality just the opposite is the truth? And it is they and their love ones and and all the Israeli people who are victims of Islamist hatred, and who are targetted for mass murder almost everyday not unlike the Nazis who tried to exterminate the Jewish people 60 years ago.
51. #46 LOL! How about this one...
Ha Ha that's funny ,   LOL!   (01.31.07)
International Chimera Day, where people celebrate any made-up nonsense they can think of and pretend it really happened. They could even have a pinata in the shape of a unicorn/lion/dragon that when struck with a stick, bulls**t-flavored candy falls out of it.
52. Atlla!
Maurice ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.31.07)
All my respect goes to you. Size iyi gunler dilerim.
53. Moshe #1 was being sarcastic
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (01.31.07)
You would realize that Moshe was making a joke when he adds to his initial statement that Spain has been on the forefront of human right for 1000 years. Spain has NEVER been on the forefront of human rights, let alone for the past 1000 years. You see, that's the joke. It's a joke, get it? ......humorless gits....

57. Spanish short memory
Witek ,   Ilava, Poland   (01.31.07)
What does mean genocide ? Expulsiom,confiscation , murdering and humiliation. Spaniars commited those crimes towards Jews. Instead to condemn of Israel they should learn better their history

59. What Does It All Mean?
sarah possee ,   madison, WI   (01.31.07)
I am beginning to get a Heavenly glimpse as to why God is going to wreck the "nations," as described by the prophets Joel, Zechariah and others. The insight gets clearer and clearer as History gets uglier and plunges to its eventual end. It's like we started with the Jews and we will end with the Jews, but it looks like they will still be around after the smoke settles. Why would Spain want to add themselves to the list of what will happen to the arab nations and those others?
60. you make me sick #33
palestinian ,   Lydda, Palestine   (01.31.07)
