1. Is God a leftist?
DR SHALOM FRIEDMAN   (02.21.07)
ALOT OF FOOLISH THINGS WERE DONE AND SAID. YOUR ARTICLE TAKES THE PRIZE.
2. Where to begin?!
Michael   (02.21.07)
Your inference that G-d does things for jews is really a jews self obsession with aa self grattifying illusion in ones mind is weird. If a person believes G-d created the world and everything in it. Why is it unimaginable that he would have mercy or vengence upon his creations? What is the point of creating something and ignoring its pleas from his creations. Do you create an article to throw into a storage closet. No you write an article for a purpose?! Furthermore, you state well only 5 people have been affected from the ir involvement in the disengagement. News flash- Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map. Is that your point? Well if G-d really exists he should punish everyone?! Modern Paganism is what I want G-d to be! What religion is suppose to be like. Putting ones personal opinion as supreme. Lastly, to relish at ordinary peoples' misery for being punished for ,no other reason , than living where they wanted to live is inhuman,arrogant and Pagan like.
3. Hateful Hagi
Yacov ,   Ashkelon   (02.21.07)
The hatefulness of Hagi's venom reflects the degree to which international pressure has turned Jew against Jew in Israel. "Divide and conquer" is the strategy of those who want to destroy Israel and her Jews. Hagi has fully bought into the Jew versus Jew, divide and conquer strategy of the racist Muslim bigots who want to destroy Israel and her Jews.
4. B. Michael, it is clear you know nothing about the.....
j ,   jerusalem, israel   (02.21.07)
Sovereignty of G-d, nor what is waiting in Gaza's future. Like any good reporter it is best to do your research before speaking in haste. A plan awaits Gaza and it will be much bigger than the disengagement.
5. NO, but whoever dares to ask this is ATHEIST
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.21.07)
6. AN EVIL LEADERS CAN BRING CALAMITY ON THE PEOPLE

7. god hates us all
kerry king ,   california   (02.21.07)
8. you forgot Olmert
aaron ,   ra'anana   (02.21.07)
9. not just 5
Tal ,   tel aviv   (02.21.07)
add Hiam Rimon and katsav to the gang explled from power. To be followed by olmert.
10. IS THIS GUY NUTS?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.21.07)
Or is Ynet having a contest for the stupidest article possible? I think this guy wins the prize. What is the point of this article? Is he making fun of some unfortunates that are having a hard time after being evicted from their homes? When did Israel become "psychotic" - if the writer wants to find psychotics, he can look around in Gaza where they are a dime a dozen. Is this some feeble attempt at humour or just more leftist crap knocking our country? I'm not religious & I certainly don't believe in divine retribution but it's not very smart asking if G-d is right or left . We have serious problems in this country that require serious discussion & ridiculing a segment of the population does not contribute anything. The writer is a jerk.
11. And the Holocaust? What that make G-d?
Jameel ,   The Muqata   (02.21.07)
What stupidity. Everytime our people have suffered, that means G-d is automatically on the side doing the inflicting? Would B. Michael say that G-d sided with the Germans in World War 2? Actually, one doesnt even have to say that the convictions and investigations into the leaders of the Disenagegement are "Acts of G-d". Anyone cruel enough to cause the suffering of the victims of the Disengagement, is obviously a corrupt or immoral individual...so it was only a matter of time before they all get sent to the trashbin of history.
12. D Tutu might say on AlJazeeraTV, GOD leftist & Islamist !!
KMR ,   Middle East   (02.21.07)
13. an Athiest or a Self- Hater?!!
Ben David   (02.21.07)
Reading this article made ask myself is the writer an extreeme athiest, a self jew-hater or even a Hizballah sympthiazer!! I don't get it! do you want to tell us that the G-D of Am Yisrael has nothing to do with taking revenge for his people, don't forget that HE -The All Mighty El Shaddai- took revenge from wrong doing jews even Kings starting from Shaul! YES the G-D of Yisrael protects his people and you should start the Tshvua immediately because Hashem's redemption is near! Kol Tov khaver
14. Confused Leftist
JoeSettler ,   Liberated Israel   (02.21.07)
According to your logic, the Holocaust proves that God hates Jews. No, the answer is quite different. Just like in the Holocaust, what was done to the settlers and the end result, was done to them willingly by other people. The "suffering" we see many of the pullout supporters and leaders undergoing (criminal investigations and lost jobs) resulted from their lack of basic morals in their own personal conduct and professions (as if we didn't see that from the Expulsion). They caused their own suffering.
15. What causes the suffering of Jewish "settlers"?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.21.07)
A cruel and inept government, and an evil and hateful media (of which this hatebag "B. Michael" is part) demonizing the victims in order to ruin them. Never attribute the "Will of G-D" to that which is entirely the result of free will of stupid and arrogant human beings.
16. #10: "What is the point of this article"
roger ,   australia   (02.21.07)
May I suggest: Leftists feeling a bit insecure of their political stand and resorting to the good old fashioned "cure" - belittling (by mockery in this case) the people who make them insecure
17. Trash article by a self-hating Jew. Pathetic.
LEE ,   NY, USA   (02.21.07)
18. B. Micahel, what's your name please?
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (02.21.07)
You need better than a shrink , no one with or without diploma will be able to fix that twisted mind of yours. May G-d save us from your hate and insanity, so far i hope it does not get contagious ..... Pagan what ???? Worship themselves - what ? What the hell do y-o-u worship ? May be exactly that: hell And how do you serve G-d? Do you keep "tariag" mitsvot ? Oh yeah, gimme a break Witchcraft what? No, rejoicing on our enemies' fall is witchcraft- uffff ! Then Purim also celebrates whichcraft ? Poor ignorant that you are I'm about to throw up.
19. #14 so right
yosef ,   tel aviv   (02.21.07)
The author of the article is really not so smart and the concept of logic or rationality is far beyond him. Israel could be a wonderful country but instead is afflicted by poverty, cruelty, crime and corruption, all because "intellectuals" like B. Michael and their followers support "leaders" who are willing and able to perform crimes such as expulsion.
20. Ynet Betrays Itself Again
Dan Friedman ,   NYC, USA   (02.21.07)
I think Ynet should think about what it's doing by publishing things like this in English. For years, those of us in the USA have heard about the amateurish stupidity and near-insanity of Israel's media. Now that we can see it for ourselves on the Web, it only confirms that view.
21. Is God Leftist?
Jack ,   Brooklyn New York   (02.21.07)
So why all the people of Sderot have to suffer the daily barage of rockets? Is that a lesson to the misguided leadres or a punishment to the settlers?
22. Dificult to find more idiotic writing even on Daily Kos.
AK   (02.21.07)
23. #7 - Stupid answer
Scott ,   Haifa   (02.21.07)
24. Bad article
Scott ,   Haifa   (02.21.07)
I don't care what this writer says, settler's still got the shaft. Maybe this writer would better understand if he got the shaft and had to relocate his life.
25. You misuderstood him
Itzik ,   Haifa   (02.21.07)
This guy want all Jews dead. Except for a few ones who will convert. Now he celebrates bad times for elderly and children who suffer from his Arabs. Some people do not understand that he wants us all dead. Look, some pewople even enjoy whe their movie star is dead. At least he says what he means, and we must give him a credit for this.
26. Writer is worse than a pagan
SL ,   New York   (02.21.07)
Our tradition teaches us that unity, even in the time when the king is wicked, is a redeeming value. The writer of this screed feels it imperative to attack a segment of Israeli society (which is a crime in Israel, but he need not fear punishment, unfortunately). Tens of thousands were traumatized by a senseless evacuation, and this smug hate-filled man has not had enough. Our destroyers come from within.
27. Don't forget Yonatan Bassi
Piranha ,   Chicago, USA   (02.21.07)
The dati Jew who collaborated in the disengagement and recently was disengaged from his own home.
28. This article is REALLY, REALLY bad
Paul ,   Kirkland, WA   (02.21.07)
Ynet, you have reached a new low publishing this article - this reporter is certifiably crazy. What is the point here?
29. Some of the most G-d fearing men and woman
Elan ,   Netanya, Israel   (02.21.07)
I know are settlers. Calling them pagan is quite nefarious.
30. God has abandoned Israel, and I don't blame Him
Daniel ,   Formerly Israel   (02.21.07)
For the first twenty-five years of Israel's existance, as it fought tooth and nail for survival, God was firmly on our side, handing us victory after miraculous victory. But we spat in God's face by refusing to exploit those victories and in fact throwing them away and giving the enemies he elped us to defeat the chance to destroy us again. And so I think God has simply decided that if we don't apreciate what he's doing for us and if we're going to waste it anyway, then he's not going to help us anymore and we're on our own, and I don't blame Him; I certainly would have done the same in His place
