1. I think the Nazis ran their camps Jews had no rockets
Akiva ,   Maaleh Adumim   (04.24.08)
Oh, I was wrong, we did have rockets and guns at Auschwitz? Will someone please tell me what the history was? Or are these diplomats completely stupid?
2. Since when
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (04.24.08)
did we make them wear uniforms and tattoo numbers on them? Since when did we set up gas chambers and crematoriums? since when did we feed them starvation rations? since when did we do medical experiments on them? since when did we make them do forced labor? since when did we start a daily role call before dawn and at night? since when did we force them to sleep on planks in barracks? Do we have sadistic guards brutally beating them for each "misdeed" ? If we keep them caged in, it is only to protect ourselves from their terrorism! Shall I go on?
3. Its disgusting that Lybia is even a part of the UN council!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (04.24.08)
4. If Gaza is a concentration camp...
sanna   (04.24.08)
then must their executioners be the Hamasmembers, who put them in danger and block transports with necessaries.
5. The enemies of freedom.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.24.08)
Arabs compare often Israel to the Nazis. In that way they try to hide their own Nazis methods at home and the seamy side of life in their countries. It is not new : the U.S.A. and Israel are the targets of the venomous hate of the Arabs and Islam. Let’s not mistake, let’s not forget who are the enemies of freedom and of our civilization, who are the heirs of Hitler. If you think “Islamist Fascism” is an empty slogan, observe the reality just open : http://xrl.us/bjrdf
6. No gas chambers so everything is kosher
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (04.24.08)
The fact that Sarkozi, Merkel, Berlusconi and Brown are all ardent Zionist supporters (not to mention good old Dubbya of course ) does not add a lot of weight to their protest. Hopefully history will record thecowardice of the West in the face of Zionist genocide.
7. High Time Arabs stop distorting Jewish history
EgyptJewRefugee ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (04.24.08)
It is high time that the Arabs be forced to stop lying, insulting and distorting Jewish history. It is repulsive and Antisemitic.
8. Arabs Supported Hitler and Nazis
Elly ,   Vienna, Austria   (04.24.08)
I lived in Egypt during World War 2. The Egyptians and Arabs supported Hitler and the Nazis.
9. Western Conspiricy
Abdo ,   :USA   (04.24.08)
This is a sing of western hypocracy and Conspiracy against the Palestinian people...
10. Chanalau
KeepingItRealJew ,   California   (04.24.08)
Why do you read Israeli newspapers all day long? What compels you to spend so much time on this? Get a grip, you may not be a Zionist, you may detest Zionism but if you are going to spend your time at this why not get a little more sophisticated? For starters to refer to what is done in the name of Zionism as genocide only belies how ignorant you are. There is no systematic killing of a racial or cultural group going on in Israel - as genocide is most simply defined. You add nothing.
11. Chanalau
israeli ,   israel   (04.24.08)
would you please be so kind and define genocide and concentration camp for me?
12. Gaza ,a Jihad Sewer
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.24.08)
The Palestinians voted for Hamas as chief of the Sewer of Gaza. Nopw they rightly suffer just a little now. Much more seriopus suffering is on the way for them. Of course the cult of death and destruction and their partners in Lybia and elsewhere will blame Israel and not the deserving of sewage and death jihadists.
13. Gaza
Shoshannah ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.24.08)
All the UN has to do is stop sending money to HAMAS and the PA which is spent ONLY on weapons. And all HAMAS and the PA has to do is stop spending all their millions and billions of aid money on weapons - and spend it instead on food and medicine and infrastructure. What a concept!
14. As long as the Syrians... //#9
Soeren ,   Cologne/Germany   (04.24.08)
are promoting this ridiculous hate propaganda – I doubt they can be partner for a peace. Abdo: Ever thought that the Palestinians might be conspiring against themselves? Honestly, even YOU don't believe that they could be able to run a state: They have money, they have land, they control the Gazastrip – but the result is always... again and again... BULLSHIT.
15. #13
April08   (04.24.08)
If - and it's a big if - all Hamas were doing were 'spending all their millions and billions of aid money on weapons ' you'd think they would have more than a AK47s and home-made fireworks ro defend themselves with! It's Israel that spends billions of US taxpayers cash every year on wepoms to help the occupation of Palestinian territory. And even then they can't beat the Hizbollah guerillas.
16. #15
Natan   (04.24.08)
Nice "twist". And i thought that Israel had to spend billions of dollars because it is surrounded by "friendly neighbors" who are sworn to destroy it.. I guess you also believe that banks spend millions of dollars in security measures to "screw" the robbers!!!
17. Western diplomats do not understand
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (04.24.08)
What the Libyan's were stating was an Islamic fact. These are different from facts as understood in western culture as they do not require any support from real evidence. To be an Islamic fact, something simply has to fit the requirement that it would suit what muslims would like to believe to be true OR that it would be really useful to they cause if gullible westerners and the even more gullible arab street, believed it to be true.
18. Genocide?
(04.24.08)
If Israel wanted to commit genocide and wipe out the Palestinians in Gaza it would have been over a long time ago. Israel clearly has the military means to do it. The fact that it has not been done clearly indicates that Israel does not have genocidal intentions. You can have whatever political position you want on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but let's not throw the word genocide around lightly.
19. #6
Jeff ,   new york   (04.24.08)
You can hope anything you wish. Any fair history will show that Israel defended itself from Arab aggression. Perhaps it is time for Chanalau, Tova to get off her soap box and see the world in a true light. There is no Zionist genocide. There is Arab terrorism which is met by justified Israeli actions.
20. Why doesn't Egypt open its border?
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (04.24.08)
21. Who are the western countries that walked out beside France?
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (04.24.08)
22. More retarded terroist propaganda
(04.24.08)
No one with any semblance of an education and has not been brainwashed from childhood could possibly believe such ludicrous statements. Terrorists can only get fools to die for them by keeping people illiterate and brainwashed. What a shame for peoples of the middle east.
23. Hamas charter says "kill Jews". Gazans guilty of war crimes
David ,   Boston, USA   (04.24.08)
And Libya has nerve to blame Israel. ITs laughable the number of crimes the Arabs are committing in Gaza and blaming Israel. Now they are bombing the fuel depot giving them fuel for electricity. When Arabs are ready for peace Israel will be there with hands outstretched. We are VERY patient people and have outlived all enemies. today's Islamists are no different. They will suffer the fate of all enemies of Israel over the millenia. None has ever suvived.
24. In Warsaw Ghetto, 1000's were sent to Treblinka every day
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (04.24.08)
The nazis sent 1000's of Jews TO THEIR DEATHS every day. If Israel is committing "genocide" they're damned inefficient.
25. Can't be genocide - population of Gaza is growing!
Millie ,   Israel   (04.24.08)
It's obvious that these Islamonazi accusations are all lies. Israel should put out a statement with the facts and figures that speak the truth.
26. Libya is a bona fide Judenrein country
Jake   (04.24.08)
Every last Jew was kicked out from there by the merciful and beneficient Muamar al Qadaffi, and found refuge in Israel and Italy. Libya should be last to talk about Nazis.
27. I have an idea
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.24.08)
Announce that we are going to adopt Lebanese law word for word in the area of the treatment of 'Palestinians'. That should just about do it.
28. #23 - What!
Jane   (04.24.08)
Just out of interest could you tell me where exactly in Hamas' charter it says 'Kill Jews'?
29. #28 - Jane, Article 7 of the Hamas Charter...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (04.24.08)
Artile 7 of the Hamas Charter states the following: "The Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem)."
30. Truth at last, ham-ass just like Nazi guards.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (04.24.08)
