31. Chomsky-Lite, may she find peace finally
SR ,   NYC   (03.19.07)
She called for a goyishe boycott of Israeli Universities while working in one of them. What did she expect, gratitude from colleagues? She may've been a brilliant linguist but a failure in her understanding of the world. Totally one-dimensional. Like a savant. She was like a "factory second" Jew when it came to politics - no flexibility, no nuance, no appreciation of complexity and fragility of Israel's geopolitical situation.
32. #25, Typical Palestinian bullshit.
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (03.19.07)
Mossad has better things to do than to silence some nut job with a big mouth. Grow up and grow a brain. You people are pathetic
33. # 25 Israel is not Russia
Isragirl ,   Qiryat Yam. Israel   (03.19.07)
A true democracy doesn't need to kill its opponents. But people are human, even when they try to be humane, and nobody likes to be around a hater. Maybe she was kicked out of a University, but nobody would care enough about her to kill her. There's more important fish to fry...
34. Sad article about Reinhardt
Bartholemew F.D. ,   NY   (03.19.07)
First of all, it is sad that hateful misfit like Noam Chomsky is allowed to poison the minds of his students. Obviously, there had to be some weakness in her mind to allow herself to be indoctrinated by a bigot like Chomsky but he didn't stick to what he is supposed to do---teach his subject. Second, it is sad that an Israeli University would have such a traitor (and anyone who advocates the destruction of the State is a traitor -period). Freedom of speech is a phony issue to defend the University. Does the Israeli University system also grant tenure to advocates of pedophilia and Holocaust deniers? Third, it is sad that she wasted her entire life being so hateful, hated, and angry. Even Aloni, that harebrained leftist found her to be a miserable and disagreable person.
35. Interesting oberservation, Judy (17), about Leftists.
Bob Y. ,   Ofaqim   (03.19.07)
There are 34 comments now and besides Mike from Canada, they all seem pleased with her demise. It certainly shows that leftists, especially, those self-hating Jews, are not accepted in society as they themselves think they are. And that's why the polls of Olmert & Peretz are so low.
36. Tania Reinhardt
Ibrahim El-Awal ,   Dearborn, Mi   (03.19.07)
According to the coroner in NY she died due to a massive heart attack. Sorry, Mossad was not involved.
37. Bad title for this article
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (03.19.07)
which should have read : Death to Tania Reinhardt, linguist, academic, and traitorous enemy of her own people.

40. So late. But it's better then nothing
Alex ,   US   (03.19.07)
41. Jewish Self Haters
JK ,   NYC   (03.19.07)
Jews have fought so hard to assimilate in the anti semitic world we live in that many don't want anyone remaining Jewish to spoil it for them and seek to destroy them.
42. a person died
Isragirl ,   Qiryat Yam, Israel   (03.19.07)
I know, she was nobody's favorite. But please, people, have some decency. She died, she left a family behind. This is when we can show the true values of Judaism by being kind and forgiving. Some of the hateful comments here got completely out of hand.
43. we won't miss any far-left traitors!!!
stephane ,   france   (03.19.07)
all the other traitors like her should follow her or move to their friends in jenin...
44. Good riddens
Reuven ,   Bet Shemesh   (03.19.07)
45. Kicked out of University?
Alex ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.19.07)
Imagine how left wing she was if the self-hate infested left wing fringe university profs started to boycott her!
46. Peace activist dead
Alex ,   LA, USA   (03.19.07)

Goodbye to Mrs. Choksonhate.
49. good news
GYBOR   (03.19.07)
yemach sema may she burn in hell next to arafat
50. ideas and protests true value
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (03.19.07)
all her ideas and protests have died with her the only thing she left behind is that she will be remeberd by is the foul stench of her idiology which would eveporate like all smells into nothing and will be forgotten in a very short period of time
51. You people are all sick. SICK..S...I...C...K!
AR ,   USA   (03.19.07)
The way you talk about this woman is really sad it only shows that people on the right have no moral core whatsoever. You are happy that she is dead because she like many sane people thought that what Israel was doing is wrong and that even its creation on arab land is wrong. Both of which are true. Jews who cry wolf (anti semitism self hating jew) are sad people who cant understand why a jew would be against the jewish state. People like her are everywhere. Jews christian muslims. Their are many muslims who are against the islamic republic are they self hating muslims? NO they are rational people just like Rienhardt. RIP.
52. May your beautiful soul rest in peace
Marlene ,   New York City   (03.19.07)
What the world needs are more people like yourself. Your courage and humanity will long be remembered. My deepest sympathies to Tania's family, and to her family. It is a great loss for all.
53. Why why....
Joe ,   USA   (03.19.07)
She died on a Jewish Holiday.... Any day she would have died would have been a Jewish Holiday
54. Good Riddance
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (03.19.07)
55. Iggyfutz@aol.com
Ignatious ,   USA   (03.19.07)
Reinhardt, like all traitors, had an extraordinary sense of entitlement. Not only did she insist on her right to say hateful things about Israel while living and making a living in the Jewish State, she also was enraged that most of her collegues chose to have nothing to do with her. Freedom of speech does not force someone to associate with someone that you find to be hateful but Reinhardt felt that she was treated unfairly and that she didn't deserve the treatment. What narcissism. Although she was a scholar in her field, her academic credentials did not certify her social or emotional intelligence, wisdom, or decency. In all of these areas, Reinhardt fell far short of being even average.
56. JEWISH PEOPLE'S BORN IN THIS LAND,SO INDIGENOUS TO IT,OWNER!
TRUELY RATIONAL JEWS ,   LOVE THEIR PEOPLE   (03.19.07)
57. Did she really search in linguistic?
AbuJihad ,   Palparadise   (03.19.07)
"Reinhardt was globally prominent in the field of theoretical linguistics and was known for her work in areas such as syntax, semantics, discourse analysis and psycholinguistics" I was internet searching for her work and find nothing except political pamphlets against Israel. Anybody would tell me where I can find her academic wok list?
58. To no 51
Y ,   N   (03.19.07)
I am looking forward to read your talkback when Ariel Sharon dies.
59. "End" if you are not totally illiteratre...
