3. Kotler is a Zionist spokesman
Dovy ,   Toronto   (07.23.08)
He's merely the Canadian Zionist loud-mouth brother in arms of Dershowitz. As far as Obama is concerned, If all he is concerned about is what the "Israelis" have been living through, he will never succeed in your "peacemaking" any more than Clinton, Bush or Carter or anyone else. If he doesn't care about the suffering of the Palestinians under Zionist racism, then he will be wasting his time and health. At least he should know that the next time he talks to AIPAC.

Why don't you shut your pie hole? Seems like you don't live in Oz but rather in the Land of Oz.
5. Ahmadinejad wants to carry out what he's denying
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (07.23.08)
It is a horrible tragedy that the UN would just stand idly by and allow someone like Ahmadinejad continue as a leader and not press international criminal charges against him for his genocidal aims or go after him or expel Iran. But the UN failed in Sudan, failed in Rwanda, and now it's failing in Iran. That is why the only option left is military force, not reliance on the UN and useless sanctions. Military might is the only language the hitlers of the world understand. For such murderers only might makes right.
6. # 1 The only genocide where the population increases

but then again you're Christian and cannot really count to three.

Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.23.08)
Can we afford to avoid a preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran ? A nuclear Iran has become an increasingly contentious issue. In the light of Western impotence, many Israelis are calling for a preventive strike against a declared genocidal intention. According to Israeli analysts, without preventive military action, production of an Iranian bomb is just a matter of time. Moreover, the annihilationist rhetoric used by Iran’s leaders, chiefly by President Ahmadinejad, is not a matter of sloganeering but indeed a program, in which the destruction of Israel is indispensable for the attainment of Iran’s manifest destiny – the “islamization” of the world. A quasi-consensus is emerging in Israel on the necessity of bombing Iranian nuclear installations. Iranian anti-Semitism at : http://xrl.us/h8ydt
8. #1, LOL, you win today's prize for BS!!!
Bob ,   Englewood, NJ   (07.23.08)
There are fully FOUR TIMES as many Palestinians now as there were when Israel allegedly began its "genocide." If that's "genocide", it is by far the most incompetent one in all of history!!
9. A free education for Lydia of Brisbane
Max Power ,   Perth, Australia   (07.23.08)
Genocide - The deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. You claim that "the Jews" are deliberately and systematically exterminating the Palestinians. This would imply that the Jews are engaged in some kind of conspiracy to destroy every single Palestinian, which is clearly preposterous. The casualty figures for the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict are a matter of some debate. According to the UN, in the last three years there have been 1290 Palestinians killed, and 86 Israelis. During the Holocaust (a clear example of genocide) some 6 million Jews were deliberately and systematically exterminated. Incite - to stir, encourage, or urge on Ahmadinejad the Holocaust denier has expressed his desire to deliberately and systematically exterminate the nation of Israel. He stirs up terrorist intermediaries to fight his dirty war against Israel. He encourages organisations such as Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine to kill as many Israelis as possible with blood money. They have no other motive in mind than the complete destruction of Israel. Ahmadinejad urges on his scientists to create a nuclear bomb, and everybody who is not an idiot knows what it will be used for. Idiot 1. An utterly foolish or senseless person. 2. Psychology. a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25. Unless a carer wrote your letter for you, I can only infer that you are an utterly foolish or senseless person. Please take up yoga or line dancing if you are bored, and refrain from embarrassing Australia in the future.
10. With all due respect ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.23.08)
And I mean that sincerely, until the B-52's take off, everything is just another empty speech.
11. HERE WE GO AGAIN
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (07.23.08)
We can look forward to some serious brown nosing and from our weak,frightend and with lack of faith Herzelist Hellenists who will bow down to any foreign Idol, thinking that it will bring them utopia. They will clamp on to every empty promise and statement , like a drowning victim to a life raft. One has to feel pity for our lost Herzelist friends and their broken dreams they are trying to hold on to. Their fear has paralyzed them in every way, showing their incompetence and weakness for the whole world to see.. While they keep on sinking deeper in their self created muck, they have become despised by many. What our Herzelists hated the most about the stettle Jews, they have become themselves The more they grovel the more they will be kicked down,
12. #4 The Cause not the Symptoms
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (07.24.08)
Look at the effects of your sustained unrelenting illegal occupation on the Palestinians and the length you must go to maintain it .
13. #6. Do the maths for me
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (07.24.08)
The Muslims will have larger families and even with a their life expectancy reduced by IOFs helicopter gunship and cluster bomb they'll outlive your illegal occupation because they have the numbers . Clever don't you think!
14. Hold Iran Accountable -- a Mirror
Vane Lashua ,   Beacon, NY   (07.25.08)
"Senator Obama should express "commitment to acting against [all "I" countries]'s genocidal intentions" "This teaching of contempt – this demonizing of the other – this is where it all begins." "while [the "I" countries], in defiance of the world community, continue[s their pursuit of the most destructive of weaponry - nuclear arms." [The "I" countries have] already succeeded in developing and testing a long-range missile delivery system for that purpose, which former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani [and the president of another "I" country] said could "eliminate [each other's "I" country] in one single storm."
