121. To the #84 leftist useful idiot
A Guest ,   Canada   (03.06.07)
To paraphrase Churchill, keep feeding the crocodile in the hope to be eaten last. You a**hole!

Sime things never change:nazis in the hierarchy are still nazis! http://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Pope-Secret-History-Pius/dp/0670886939
123. German bishops says so?
Arthur ,   Israel   (03.06.07)
Dear Gregor Maria Franz Hanke, Why to polish your Pope's image you are using Israel? Do you know a story of Mogul Badshah Aurangzeb? He ones scraped a drop of scent which had fallen on the carpet. Badshah realised courtiers had noticed it; what he did was; he filled tanks with Itra (Scent) and placed them in various places in the town (Agra) to cover his did. “Birbal”; one of his courtier told Badsha, “your Highness; whatever you lost with a drop no tank-full’s will recover it!” His Highness Pope has lost with Muslims with his words not long before; with you showing Israel down will not be recovered whatever he has lost. Do you realize? With your remarks; you are loosing with Israel too! Best for you is to keep away from politics; it is not your piece of cake.
124. everybody hates you
ayman ,   usa   (03.06.07)
everybody hates you cause they see you for what you are.
125. Do not try to appeal to the German sense of fairness
Max ,   USA   (03.06.07)
You are dealing with the people and the church who have a strong desire to do away with the Jews. They have proved it for centuries through many expulsions and violence. The Jews have a very long history of the European crimes perpetrated against them. Since the Germans failed in their vicious attempt to exterminate all Jews they want the Arabs to finish their job.
126. CHUTZPAH ! CHUTZPAH !
michele ,   Haifa   (03.06.07)
127. 1.5 billion muslims and 1 billion catholics
ayman ,   usa   (03.06.07)
just ask god for forgiveness and run back to europe
128. To #39 - Real Catholics
Nobleman ,   USA   (03.06.07)
Any Catholic who claims any racial bias towards Jews, Israel or any people for that matter needs to learn True Catholicism. We cannot claim to love/adore G_d and hate any people for ANY reason.
129. Over120 Talkbacks! Germans still busy with the Jewish Questi
Alan ,   SA   (03.06.07)
130. U.S. Empire
Dr. Richard Welser ,   USA   (03.06.07)
It is hard to know what say after reading many vitriolic posts. So much venom. So much denial, projection and overcompensation. At one time, many years ago, I supported Israel and disparaged her 'evil enemies'. I cannot anymore. Jacob Brownoski in his Ascent of Man commented that the greatest sin of the Nazis was arrogance. Interestingly, that same arrogance appears to characterize Israel. And as I have now read Israel's history from your own historians, and the atrocities committed by Israel it appears arrogance and hubris has always characterized the Israeli policy. I no longer have sympathy for you. You could have created a great, just and caring nation. Instead, you have created the opposite.
131. THAT'S FUNNY,
Myron ,   USA   (03.06.07)
132. The Germans must be reminded!
Mark ,   USA   (03.06.07)
The reason Jews talk about the Holocaust is because Germans have not learned their lessons from World War II. Anti-Semitism is increasing rapidly in Germany and the Germans seem to justify this by blaming the actions of Israel. Jews need to leave Germany before they re-open the gas chambers of Dachau.
133. Hitler got the yellow star from the Church
Mark ,   USA   (03.06.07)
Catholics forced Jews to wear yellow and Hitler thought it was a good idea.
134. BISHOPS ARE 100% CORRECTOMUNDO
JOE ,   windsor, ct.   (03.06.07)
get over it jews
135. #130
Ram ,   London   (03.06.07)
Your post is full of the arrogance you so detest. It starts off like what most jew haters and anti-semites would say, i.e. "some of my best friends are jews but........." Know what I mean?
136. Unbelievable
Margaret   (03.06.07)
This is totally outrageous for these so called German "Bishops" to make the antiJewish remarks they did and in Israel of all places . Of all people, you would think that would know better . What they said was the anthesis of what real Christianity should stand for. First off, the Israelis are not trying to destroy the Palestinians their just trying to prevent Arab terrorists from blowing up their families everyday in buses,cafes,and schools,which was happening every week ,sometimes almost everyday just a few years ago, before the security wall, which they so strongly criticized was built. It is actually the Arab and Islamist terrorists that are trying to finish off what Hitler started by targeting and slaughtering defenseless Jewish men,women, and children. Where is their condemnation of the suicide bombings of Israeli civilains, or of the Iranian president who said Israel should be wiped off trhe map? Where is there condemnation of the Islamist relgious leaders who compared the Jews to the Aid's Virus and said they should be destroyed. Or the other Islamist leader who said whoever put's a bullet in a Jew's head is "blessed"? I guess the fact that the Jews have an army now, and are able to defend themselves and punish their enemies, including enemy civilians, when they support the slaughter of Jews, seems to upset these Bishops greately. Of course, the poor Palestinians are everyone's favorite underdog now,never mind the fact that according to their own polls,the majority of them support the slaughter of Jews especially if those Jews have the collosal gaul to stain their presence on their sacred Palestinian land like 5 year old Danielle Sheffi who was shot in the head at point blank range while cowering under her bed by an Arab terrorist who broke into her parent's home. How is what happened to her different then what happened to Jewish babies during World War2? You would think if these Bishops really had any sorrow or remorse for what happened during the Holocaust that they would maybe be a little more impartial and show a little understanding of the fear and sorrow felt not only by Palestinians but also by Israelis who have been victimized by Arab terrorism. They should be ashamed but then again they probably have no shame at all to make the cruel,heartless remarks they made. I hope Israelis revoke their visas and never allow them back into their country ever again.
137. German Nazis
Isac ,   Florida   (03.06.07)
the German bishop and the German church were the biggest collaborators with the Nazis and some of them even helped the big shot Nazis to escape to foreign countries by providing them with refuge and new documents. This is outrageous to hear them saying 60 years after their atrocities such wrong and hypocratical words about Israel and its people! Shame on the Germans!
138. German Catholic Church knows better than anyone.
Uzziel   (03.06.07)
They thoroughly collaborated with the Nazis during their rule and the Pope Joseph Ratzinger himself was a Nazi soldier. They should seek the advice of His Sanctity and recall their personal experience. They are simply relieving and whitewashing with the jews the load of their guilt seizing the present opportunity.
139. Yeah..#130. 22 brutal Arab dictatorships
William ,   USA   (03.06.07)
represent the good while 0.1% of the Middle Eastern landmass, Israel, is all bad. That is your perception of arrogance. You loved the Jews when they were victimized and you dislike the Jews when they no longer want that status. You wanted to feel good defending the poor Jews but since the Jews no longer need your defense then it makes them arrogant. Why don't you support the poor Black Africans who are being exterminated by the Arab militia. Perhaps that will make you feel good. No! You will not do it because the Jews genetate emotions on a much bigger scale than the persecuted, poor Black Africans in Sudan. Look in the mirror! You know nothing of Jews and Israel. Your only source of information is the anti-Israel propaganda both in Israel and abroad that makes $$$ selling you the garbage you are so happy to consume. Please tell me you are not anti-Semitic and yes, some of your best friends are Jews.
140. #137 They will never change. It is their DNA speaking!
Doddi ,   USA   (03.06.07)
141. #30 self-deception
(03.06.07)
Yes, you hit the nail on the head with your comments. It's hard to believe so much self-deception on part of so many Jews. Hubris indeed!
142. last was for #130 not #30
(03.06.07)
May peace prevail on earth...
143. to # 121 #116 and #104 you're the israeli proof of arrogance
Ariel ,   Tel aviv   (03.06.07)
you are the proof of our arrogance and how we are blind and uncapable to judge ourselves. we think we are better than anyone else and can continue killing and killing with no punishment as we are protected by our friends in Washington. wake up as the judgement day is coming.....For the sake of peace and stop hating not only the palestinians but your country men who do not share your extremism.
144. let us remind them what was nazism and what they have done
dovdevan ,   ashdod; israel   (03.06.07)
because they seem to have forgotten what kind of crimes they committed or they don't want to remember what there grand parents legacy !!!
145. What about the Pope's reaction?
(03.06.07)
146. #12 Agree with you 98%
Dave ,   East Jerusalem   (03.06.07)
Because the checkpoints treat us Palestenians worst than animals...this is the 2% diff.
147. #143 Israel is not in Micronesia.
(03.06.07)
It is surrounded by the radical Arab entities that thrive on cruelty and violence. You are right. The judgment day is coming to those who slaughterted the Jews over the long history of criminal behavior. The animals could not possibly do what the German murderers supported by the German church did. The animals cannot do what the Arab terrorists and their supporters in Iran are doing.
148. #145 What do you expect a German pope do or say?
Daniel ,   USA   (03.06.07)
149. loepards never change their spots
Michael ,   Israel   (03.06.07)
150. Take a good look in the mirror
Alish ,   Sydney, Australia   (03.06.07)
You'd all look pretty smart in those black SS uniforms. You steal the lands of others, you steal the tax dollars of american citizens, you indiscriminately kill, bomb, and imprison those around you, and then you wonder why you are so hated. The Promised Land is a myth. A FAIRY TALE. You have no more right to that land than anyone else. Stop believing in santa claus and join the 21st century.
