31. Is Every Jew a 22 Worthwhile?
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (02.01.07)
I'm of two minds. First, the Jews should consider moving to Israel where at least they can defend themselves. Second: the Jews should have a defense in England like the "Guardian Angels" located in American cities (but armed). Any Muslim should know, that as in the Warsaw Ghetto, Jews can and will defend themselves, and not cower. That said, if Jews move away, the weakest will remain, vulnerable to attacks. Britain must clamp down hard on these thugs and bullies of their weakest people. Perhaps Jews should learn how to fire shotguns, rather than dwell on polite Bar Mitsvahs. Food for thought?
32. Why 'goys' post here
AMERICAN ,   USA   (02.01.07)
because jews have never gotten along with ANYONE- history shows a series of getting kicked out and causing conflicts. the nice'goy' in the USA got suckered into welfaring Israel and now we are hated by the world . not everyone likes the jewish verison of god (some find is appalling and barbaric ) not everyone wants to be a jew. I think its like a CURSE. good luck behind the wall- in the island of jews.

Yes, Dave. Excellent talkback. Food for thought! You wrote: "the Jews should have a defense in England like the "Guardian Angels" located in American cities (but armed)". I would be the first one to enrol...!

Nice, but you forgot the commentator who doesn't add anything related to the article, but chooses to instead elate himself by making fun of others. But I guess living in the city of puppy dogs and rainbow power you might have a feeling of elation. If it is so tiresome to you why do you bother? Does belittling others make you feel smart or better about yourself, should I feel more masculine cause i'm from a cowboy town and your from queer capital.
37. #32, it's informative to know what a sick mind thinks
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (02.02.07)
The reason for the increase in antisemitic violence in England is because of the underlying hostility of most British, not just Muslims, towards the Jews. Remember, antisemitism is a continuum ranging from the extreme genocidal antisemitism of the nazis and Iran's current leadership to the more subtle antisemitism of the left who disguise their anti-Jewish feelings with anti-Zionism rhetoric because they are too embarrassed to admit their prejudice. These people would never physically attack Jews but really don't give a damn if Jews are hurt by others. This is like white southerners before the civil rights movement who would never burn a black church but would never convict a white person of a crime if they sat on a jury. The overwhelming hatred of Israel has become fashionable in the universities and in the British media. Of course, those bigots and antisemitic Jews deny being antisemitic. They just want to hurt Jews without shooting them. As far as the monster bigot who identifies himself as "American", he at least admits his hatred but lacks the guts to give his name. Also for idiots like him, his hatred of Jews is so great that he would rather see Jews harmed than to safeguard himself from the terrorists. In England the population still can't come to grips with the fact that the Islamists just don't want to attack Jews. Even the subway bombings or the discovery of a plot to behead a British soldier of Muslim descent didn't pierce their denial. They think that letting the Muslims attack Jews will save them and secretly like to see Jews attacked.

most people coming up with a post such as yours, will have to explain the "facts" you stated by giving accurate historical examples of what they "claim" to be the truth. 1. "BECAUSE JEWS HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ALONG WITH ANYONE" can you please provide "us ignoramous people" with valid historical incidences and facts where jews have never gotten along with anyone? can you please provide us with accurate historical facts where jewish mass expoltion from various european, arabic, muslim countries were the fault of the jews? can you please provide us with valid historical research where one sees that jews were the cause of all conflicts? can you please explain to us all what is the "jewish version of god that is so appaling and barbaric to most people"? did we ever force judaism on anyone? of course not everyone wants to be a jew. just like most people do not want to practice another religion they were not born into! just so you know, judaism is not forced on you by the sword. we jews are not muslims......you may call us infidels, but we call ourselves jews, not christians, not muslims, not hindus, etc... and you call yourself christian and we respect that. why do you hate judaism? we don't hate christianity! and most surely jews never tried to wipe christianity and christians off the map of the world. judaism is a curse? well, beg to differ. as a christian, i believe judaism is the basis of christianity. it is a beautiful religion based on the true word of god, which has at its core phenomenal values of humanity, conduct and love. i suggest you read more and speak less! if you want to come across as an intelligent human being. do not embarrass yourself with your lack of general knowledge and bigotry. it's not becoming! the "wall", as you claim is not a wall. it is a very valuable piece of history that, were you even remotely intelligent or educated, you would realize its true historic and religious significance not only to jews but to christians as well. "the island of the jews"???? first, it is not an island and if you meant by "an island" that the jews/israel are isolated....you may be right here. isolated, but one of the most democratic, progressive, brilliant, advanced, educated, full of life, world renowned for technology, medical, research, pharmaceutical advancements as well as many nobel prizes and the latest inventions in military security as well as military technology. ...."usa got suckered into welfaring israel and now we are hated by the world".... usa, you may as well know, benefits greatly from israeli technology in every aspect of life from medical research, pharmaceuticals, technology, hi tech patents (more patents in israel than in any other country in the world), medical research and knowhow, military defense systems and weaponry, etc...additionally, america needs a democratic israel in the mid east as much as israel needs america as its friend. without the presence of israel in the mid east, there is no way the usa could have controlled the situation there. you say "usa welfares israel"???? did you know that israel is THE ONLY COUNTRY that pays the usa back every loan we got from you with interest. no other country ever pays back. not mexico, not the arab countries, etc....israel is the only one which gives all the money back that they lent from you guys. welfaring israel, my foot! in summation, you are: a biggot a no brainer uneducated a hick a very unhappy hateful individual a person who is not self actualized in the least! i suggest you polish up or remain in the apalachian woods you are coming from. and this is not a compliment.
