1. empty words
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.02.07)
The same empty requests that the U.S. have been telling the palestinians since the start of Oslo in 1993. There is never any follow up or teeth in what the U.S. is asking because that is only reserved for Israel. What Rice is doing is throwing Israel a meatless bone just before the U.S. pushes Israel to remove all Jes from Judea and Samaria for the presidents Plaestinian state. The average Israeli desperate for any positive sign will chew on this meatless bone and be content for a short time.This is how the' craftily betray Israel' game is played . Sadly Israel plays all the way to the slaughterhouse.
2. Anti-Jewish Incitement is Zionism!
Dovy ,   Toronto   (10.02.07)
These senators need to be learning that Zionism is anti-Jewish, and to focus on what the Zionists are doing to incite war against the Muslim world.
3. Abbas expects 1967+6m "refugees"-how will it succeed, stupid
Alan ,   SA   (10.02.07)
4. Their consciences are bothering them
Canadian Otter   (10.02.07)
These are the obvious signs of guilt. Congressmen are beginning to feel the pangs of guilt for ramming this destructive agreement down Israel's throat. An agreement for the creation of a terror state on Jewish land that will result in non-ending violence against Israel. The Americans know that what they're doing is wrong so they're trying to sugar-coat it with nice words appealing to Arab tolerance (oxymoron). Israelis need to make it clear to the Americans that this proposal is not acceptable to the population of the country, no matter what Olmert and Livni and Peace Now say. They do not represent the majority of Israelis and the vast majority of Israelis do not want it. Israelis want real peace, not bringing the enemy closer to their cities and homes. They need to send delegations to America to speak to Congressmen and other leaders. Do not let Livni do the talking for you.
5. as far as I know Arabs are semitic
(10.03.07)
anti-semitism is a big lie !
6. End Death And Taxes
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (10.03.07)
7. U.K...FOLLOWS LEAD OF U.S SENATORS.
ROLAAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (10.03.07)
U.K. MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT SHOULD LIKEWISE FOLLOW THE LEAD OF U.S.SENATORS AND DEMAND AN END TO ARAB ANTI-SEMITISM. AFTER SELLING 72 TORNADO PLANES TO SAUDI ARABIA,IT SHOULD BE WELL IN WITH THE ARAB WORLD TO EXERT SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE, ON THIS SUBJECT BUT I SUPPOSE THEY HAVE NOT THOUGHT OF IT YET.
8. what makes these senators garbage think
(10.03.07)
that they can dictate BS on other people !!!?
9. #5, Arabs aren't Semitic, they're Hamitic
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (10.03.07)
Arabs have only one link to their claim of being a Semitic people- the Arabic language. Despite this, language and ancestry don't go hand in hand. After all, most Americans speak English, a Germanic language, but this doesn't mean that most Americans are Germanic. Genetically speaking, Arabs (the ones from the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, at least) are more closely related to East Africans than they are to the peoples of the Fertile Crescent. As far as the Bible is concerned, Ishmael was the son of a Semite (Abraham) and a Hamite (Hagar was an Egyptian). Ishmael then subsequently married Egyptian (Hamitic) women, who gave birth to children who were only 1/4 Semitic. As far as we know, Ishmael's sons lived in a region where there were no Semites as far as the Bible records. The logical outcome of this is that Ishmael's sons ended up marrying other Hamites, and the sons and daughters of those marriages ended up marrying other Hamites, a process that kept occurring until the rise of Islam in the 7th Century. The end result is a Hamitic people with less than a drop of Semitic blood in their veins calling themselves Semites just because they happen to speak a Semitic language. Even Hitler only looked as far back as the grandparents to ensure racial 'purity'. To make a long story short, Arabs aren't Semitic and are therefore fully capable of being as anti-semitic as Hitler, or even worse.
10. Dovy Dovy Dew
GZLives   (10.03.07)
Its the likes of you Dovy in Toronto that prevents peace and perpetuates the hostility. Its got NOTHING to do with Zionism and that's merely your code word and we all know it. What will happen if your people are consistent, they will have their State and soon after instead of building it they will do what they always do - scheme, plot and attack, attack, attack in hopes of driving out and/or killing the Jews as they were originally meant to do. And that will finally be answered with exactly what you and too many of your people are looking for by Israel and the world will do nothing having become exhausted by the whole mess and by then the very obvious inability by the Arabs to accept non Muslims living amongst them.
11. #4 conscience ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.03.07)
Are you that niave ? Do you really think they let anything bother them or that they are motivated by conscience or right and wrong ? So many of you still don't grasp the evil afoot against Israel from Washington. They operate on the basis of deception not conscience to delude the dumb sheeple. It's so easy for them. because five years into this Bush Road Map the madness goes on unabated. How do you think they have been so succesful in stealing large chunks of Israel and giving it to Islamic terrorists without any resistance ? The clever thief steals the heart and soul of the nation and the majority in Israel smile and calls him a good friend and ally. All of you who think this ,you are blind fools and useless idiots. .
12. Once Israel Recognizes the Palestinian's Right to Exist
Mr. Knowitall ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (10.03.07)
The Arab states must continue to boycott Israel until Israel has completely ended the 40-year-old occupation of Palestine and the Palestinians are truly free. To reward the Israelis for doing absolutely nothing would only harm the Palestinian and Arab positions while Israel continues to expand settlements. It is also an insult to expect Arab nations and those being oppressed by Israel to recognize the right of Israel to exist while it is an illegal occupying power that refuses to recognize even the basic rights of those whom they are trying to ethnically cleanse, and whose land they intend to steal. There must be no preconditions, just enforcement of International law and UN resolutions as called for in the Arab plan. The only way to find peace is to get the heavily Israeli biased US government out of the picture and let the region resolve this matter without threat of US intervention or Veto. If the US was truly interested in peace, it would support the Arab plan as it was written and encourage Israel to withdraw to the 1967 lines as called for in UNSCR 242 with some minor adjustments agreed upon by both sides. The Arab plan is based upon International laws, established UN resolutions and requires nothing but Israel to get on board to lead the region to peace.
13. 2, 5, stop your worthless talkbacks
Korem ,   New York, USA   (10.03.07)
My God, end your dumb narrow outlooks for once in your lives. This is about the possibility of an upcoming peace conference failing. The last time a peace conference failed, 7+years of terrorism and thousands of civilians killed on each side, multiple wars, engagements etc ensued. The time before that, the same thing happened. For once in history the leaders of this nation, the US, understand the consequences of a failed peace conference, and want to prevent the effects of such a failure from leading to bloodshed, or at least mitigate the possible bloodshed. The method is to convince major Arab states to take up more moderate views of Israel, accept it, negotiate with it, and by doing so, contribute to the eventual decline in violence. Israelis can't enter Arab countries but Arabs can enter Israel. It's time this policy start going both ways, so both peoples can open up to the other. 2 and 5, you are reiterating the tired anti-zionist arguments, and doing so is irrelevant to this article or the situated presented by it. Dovy, this is your second time doing this; last time you attacked Israel in an article about funding for American Jewish groups to protect against security threats to Jewish daycare centers outside Israel. You're outlook is so narrow; if you were a hateful Palestinian, that's one thing, but some Canadian who has no part in this conflict, trying to incite, rile people up, to cause more problems in a region plagued by problems? You don't deserve to comment on this site.
14. #9 so, you are anti-Hamitic ha !! ?
(10.03.07)
what a scum !
15. There is no such thing as Arab anti-Semitism
Richard ,   New York, USA   (10.03.07)
Arabs are also a semitic people. But if we hate Arabs, why should Arabs love us? Jews don't love Arabs.
16. Arabs and Jews should both end chauvenism.
Bart Cunningham ,   Amsterdam Holland   (10.03.07)
Arab anti-Semitism is rampant and distasteful. Bur frankly, Jewish people and Israel as a whole need to look in the mirror as well. The teachings of Maimonides, the Jewish Talmud and a general atmosphere of chauvinism which surrounds certain secular and religious Jewish groups is far from perfect. I purposely use an euphemism. In the end, although I frown upon racism, I definitely frown upon double standards as well. Anti-Semitism is not the worst kind of racism, it's simply racism and needs to be tackled at the same time as Jewish chauvinism. If I'm not mistaking, the late Israel Shahak said that.
17. Condi loves oil more than human life... and will obey Saudi
Nannette ,   London   (10.03.07)
18. Tell them to stop teaching anti- semitism...
ben ,   singapore   (10.03.07)
in their Quranic Classe for a start at the basic education level.Tell the Hamas. Fatah to wipe out the CHARTER and tell the Arabs to stop sponsoring Terrorist- Terrorism Financing and whip up Anti- Money Laundering Activites. Tell the Arabs to rescue the Dafur Refugees- Start by doing some basic Islamic Justice- if there is such things in their Religion. Liberate the Islamic Justice System ( Shariah Law )- Islamic Banking System.Let the non- muslims have a fair chance in political, econimical and social aspects of life.Break away from Sectarian Violence and tell them to live in harmony with all the races on this earth. Be good neighbours to start with ! ben singapore

20. #12 no will the racist Arab states Recognize Israel's right
rachel ,   usa   (10.03.07)
to exist ? ......The United Nation has never recognized the Jews who were kicked out of Arab countries. Strange, since there were more of them ...who do you think you are kidding?.....http://www.theforgottenrefugees.com/
21. #15 really , then watch this maybe you learn something

22. ##16 Please don't compare apples with nazism
rachel ,   usa   (10.03.07)
23. Perfect example why Muslims hate US, the Israeli factor
Dallas ,   Texas   (10.03.07)
They say nothing about Jewish occupation of Palestine, daily Israeli massacres of Palestinians in W Bank and Gaza, daily destruction of Palestinian homes by jewish occupation troop, settlments, land confiscation, road blocks.... too many crimes to list here. This BS only increases hate for US in the Muslim world and is very damaging to US interests.
24. Anti-Semitism
Iamashamed ,   UK   (10.03.07)
Why doesn't anyone suggest that the US and Israel stop anti-Islam and anti-Arab incitement? Because it never happens of course! Yeah right.
25. who said arab countries are anti-Israeli, they r anti-Jewish
(10.03.07)
26. #9 to call Arab as Hamaites is Racism
(10.03.07)
At least we know that Hebrew and Arabic has same roots. Then knowing that Hamites means in Arabic and Hebrew insects (Hawams) is nothing but Racism. So what you call non-Jewish goyim; can you explain Talmudic teaching about how to treat goyim. The least you can call that process of treating goyim is nothing less than racism. It is not only Zionism!
27. #18 Sectarian Violence?
(10.03.07)
is your preaching directed to the Catholic & Protestant?
28. look at the bright side of anti-Semitism
(10.03.07)

29. #15
(10.03.07)
does haj amin al husseini ring a bell? you fool
30. # 27 :- )~
ben ,   singapore   (10.03.07)
Look at the title of the Report " 'End Arab anti-Semitism', BTW every body have a part in the wickedness of sectarian violance.That is why the law was given at Mount Sinai.Earlier 7 laws to Noah ( later the 7 as part of the 10) read further 613 = 10 but now even half of 613 not applicable because of SECTARIAN IDEAS and PARACIOCAL and PARTISAN IDEOLOGIES. ;-)~ example : LOOK AT THE DAFUR REFUGEE CRISIS is it sectarian violance of not. Just a repeat of Rewanda AGAIN . ben singapore
