31. They don't even respect their prophets
nada ,   usa   (08.30.07)
This is the "Israeli" soccer team. But why would be surprised? After all, the Jewish members of the team do not even respect their own prophets and God's ten commandments. By occupying Palestine, and supporting the crimes commited by the Zionists, those people violate God's commandments that prohibit murder and steeling. They also violate God's and their prophets' calls for justice. It is obvious that they are very disappointed about their failure in last summer war against Lebanon, and the onlyt hing they can do is say insults thinking they might achieve anything but show their real ugly unrespectful nature.
32. dhimmi madness
Hoss ,   USA   (08.30.07)
Let me get this straight: Turks routinely publish virulent anti-semitic material in their mainstream press/movies/etc.; their leaders talk openly about Israeli "terrorism"; their Jewish communities lie low, hoping to avoid further bombing of their synagogues; and a tiny bunch of Israeli soccer hooligans are fingered as a possible cause of an Israeli-Turkish rift? Notice, by the way, the reference to the "potential for a violent outbreak"...this is the tried and tested way that the Muslim world has successfully intimidated non-Muslims.

34. Disgusting...
Kent ,   NY USA   (08.30.07)
What they did was disgusting. What Turkish side doing is very responsible and sensible, you should learn a thing or two from them. What is more disgusting is that some of you talkbackers who are excusing, tolerating or supporting their behavior. But again your talkbacks show what you are made of...

t.h ,   berlin, germany   (08.30.07)
shalom... maybe this one sounds better for you although it means salam, which means peace but maybe you dont know this word. there are some people who just now the word "war". and if you want to attack any muslim , you call him islamist , or terorist, thats what your media achieved. and i am responding in your way, so that you know how you are talking and how silly it sounds.... but i am ready to discuss any thing you want. shalom
39. #28 - The evidence shows the opposite!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (08.30.07)
All we see is terror being done in his name! So, please spare us the accolades on him!! we aren't buying it any more!
40. Maccabi T.A. fans were wrong!
Merrill ,   New York, NY   (08.30.07)
I believe it's fine for the fans to sing songs "our team is the best", or "your team sucks" - but I strongly disagree with bringing in topics like religion, race, gender, physical defficiencies, etc. - that's just unethical and unhuman. Humans should respect other humans - we don't have another planet we could share. Maybe I lived for too long in the US where this sort of behavior is definetely NOT tolerated here. Therefore, I would like to appologize on behalf of Maccabi TA fans like myself to all fans - Turkish or Muslim whom this kind of uneducated, low-life behavior offended. Jews in general respect all religions in the world without exceptions, including Islam. At the same time I don't understand why in Western media one always sees "Prophet Muhammad", but never something like "Jesus, Son of God" or "Buddah, the Enlightened One", etc.
41. and you wonder why people...
A-Non-Jew ,   Omaha USA   (08.30.07)
become anti-semite. People who get to know you and deal with you turn out to be the fiercest anti-semites. I wonder why???

read Isaiah in the origional language and contect: In Christianity, the role of the messiah was redefined in order to fit the man’s career as written by his followers. As Jesus was said to have been resurrected, the Bible was examined with the purpose of finding evidence that the messiah would be killed without bringing peace to the world or redemption to Israel. There was therefore the expectation of a second coming, at which time Jesus would carry out the task expected of the messiah (because he obviously didn't do it the first time). This also required creation of an explanation for the first coming and its catastrophic end. The net result of all of this was to shift the function of the messiah from a visible level where it could be tested (as in Tanach, what Christians call the "Old Testament") to an invisible level where it could not. As a result of this reworking, the messiah’s goal the first time around was changed from the redemption of Israel to the atonement for "original sin". A reworking of Biblical themes. There were also mistakes with respect to Jesus's death and its foretelling. Psalms 22:17 says, "Like a lion, they are at my hands and feet." The Hebrew word ki-ari (like a lion) is grammatically similar to the word "gouged." Thus Christianity reads the verse as a reference to crucifixion: "They pierced my hands and feet." Christians also claim that Isaiah 53 refers to Jesus. Actually, Isaiah 53 directly follows the theme of chapter 52, describing the exile and redemption of the Jewish people. The singular form is used because the Jews ("Israel") are regarded as one unit (this occurs elsewhere in Torah).
44. Then he said to Jesus: "Lord, remember me...
Norway   (08.30.07)
when You come into Your kingdom." Luke 23:42 And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43 I know a man in Christ, who fourteen years ago- -whether in the body I do not know... or whether out of the body I do not know... God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven... And I know such a man- -whether in the body or out of the body... I do not know, God knows- - how he was caught up into Paradise... and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 2 Cor 12:2-4 Doesn't sound like a place with everlasting sexual bliss and 72 virgins...
45. Soccer note to #18
Jean H ,   Martinsburg, USA   (08.30.07)
JC the missiah?!? I know that there is documental proof that JC is an idol created by early Roman redactors trying to take the name and teachings of a fully Torah observant Ribbi and turn him into a demi-g-d that saves the world. Isaiah 53 doesn't talk about the immitaion JC idol messiah. Read the true historical writings of early xtn historians and you will see where that religion came from and find the true creators of anti-semitism. your preacher may not even know (or more likely does know) about the fallacies of the religion of xtnty. A good book to begin with is by an Oxford Scholar named James Parkes. Who after discovering that truth, had a hard time accepting it and went into seclusion the rest of his life. He couldn't come to grips with the information, documented by historical "church fathers" about the falseness of xnty. The way of Derek haSem is the only true (Torah) way.
46. #7. Pray, where and when did you condemn antisemitism?

51. stupid religious bigotry =emulation of Israel's enemies

52. #48 No, he's there with allah, saddam, ayatollah Kohmeni,
Assad, & Mo's ,   nephew. Devils all.   (08.31.07)
53. Boot Israel from League if it happens Again
Mr. Knowitall ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (08.31.07)
There must be zero tolerance for the arrogant and bigoted behavior shown by Israeli fans, and if it happens again, boot them from the European league permanently and let them play the teams from their own region until they learn some respect for themselves and others. Can Israelis possibly do any more harm to the image of Jews all over the world.....Do they not realize that it is their own actions that are increasing anti-Semitism around the world?
54. #47 The shoa happened cos of ignorant people like you
andy ,   orlando,u.s   (08.31.07)
That is the most idiotic and offensive statement I have ever heard.6 million Jews (including 1 million children) were not murdered because they rejected Jesus (who was a fellow jew).They died because the world chose to ignore their plight including the allies and esp the Vatican.In future keep your crass and dumb opinions to yourself.
55. Q:For those who don't think this is a big deal
Red ,   Canada   (08.31.07)
How do you feel about anti-Semitic chants in Europe from Sparta or Lazio fans? Do you believe that Jews are overreacting? Personally I believe that Football should be banned for 1 year Worldwide. Only when owners pockets are affected will things change.
56. #15 Cry me a river
GreatSatan ,   USA   (08.31.07)
Couldn't have said better, cry me a freaking river.
57. #47 It's about time somebody finally came out and said the
PR ,   New York   (08.31.07)
truth on this web-site. However, they rejected him at his death, and they still reject him. Now watch the pain and suffering they will endure again before Yashua returns and up braids them for their hardness of heart. So so sad.
58. #12 -- Chaya: JEWISH Bible verse for you !!!
Curtis ,   USA   (08.31.07)
Proverbs 30:4: "Who has gone up to Heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of His hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and the name of his Son? Tell me if you know!"
59. #12: Pure anti-Semite
Izik ,   Silicon Valley CA   (08.31.07)
"Your rejection of Jesus is why the Shoa happened, pure & (End)" I would hope that any body with half a brain would see this drivel as nothing more than pure antisemitic crap.
60. #41 blames the victim, and demonstrates true racism
Izik ,   Silicon Valley CA   (08.31.07)
Let's try some replacing of words in #41's missive: "And you wonder why people become (anti-black) racists. People who get to know you and deal with you turn out to be the fiercest racists. I wonder why???" See how such a statement is in fact racist? It is called blaming the victim. So, 10 idiots sang some anti-Muslim songs, and suddenly every Jew in the world is tarred by their bad behavior? That, my dear hate-filled friend, is the epitome of racism and bigotry. Check yourself before opening your mouth and insertng your foot again.
