MP Kaufman is a Jew with a huge inferiority complex. He wants to be accepted and liked by his fellow gentiles. ANd thinks that neing strongly aginst Israel will make him popular. The Jews in the Ghetto did not attack anybody. On the other hand Hamas are terrorists that have bombarded our towns for years. We do not attack Arabs because of their entity. This is clear with the Arabs inside Israel and in the west bank. Certainly the Egyptians and Jordanians do not feel like this deliquent Jew.

and abroad. He has a lengthy history of anti - Israel comments. He is viewed as dispicable, and last time he entered a synagogue (apparantly he can still recognises one) , he was heckled and spat upon by the congregation.

Yes that's Gerald alright. I e-mailed his parliamentary office last week when he made other inflamatory comments. He hasn't had the courage to reply yet. Arms embargo? The UK can't even provide our own troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with the proper equipment to protect them because his Labour governemnt is operating a war there on a shoe string budget. what does Israel need sub standard UK arms for anyway? This man is bad seed and best ignored and his Gorton constituency in one of Manchester's more deprived areas is made up of UK muslims and particularly low intelligence, non voting, chavs so it's not as if he is representative of anything decent is it?

In fact the reverse is true. European guilt is projected on Israel,in so doing they, unknowingly, prepare the global rationale for another Holocaust on Israel

He's 78 and a senile old ill man. He's been ingraciating his constituency in Manchester which has a huge Muslim population (No Jews live in his Area) He has never come to terms with his sexuality. He is a sad man who thank g-d has no children to follow on his sorry name.

I will be laughing so hard I'll probably wet myself.

non jews criticizing Israel are called anti-semites and when jews do it they are called self-hating jew. I pity you

I PITY YOU AND YOUR BACKWARDS COUNTRIES AND ECONOMICS AND SOCIETIES .

and i know i've never mentioned this EVER when discussing the war in gaza, nor have i heard anyone else. the past is the past, let's look at the real justification for the war - the 5,000+ rockets sent into israel's population centers. the daily barrage of rockets is justification enough...

This piece of slime has been a frequent critic of Israel and seems to hate the Jewish state as much as Hamas do. He once promised never to set foot in Israel. I and I think most Israelis sincerely hope he keeps this promise. David Howard

Kaufman is a typical selfhating jew who has been brainwashed from Europe's Liberal and sometimes fanatic leftwingers. His Grandma got shot by the Nazis and he still kept this German last name what an idiot.

Gerald Kaufman should be ashamed of himself.

Before I even read a single word of this article,my instinct told me it was Gerald Kaufman .Well the best of families have their Black Sheep I suppose.He thinks if he condemns Israel then the Gentiles will love him...easy mistake to make.

If in doubt best say nowt.

(gave him some of my thoughts)

Once again the image of the self-hating jew, who's not in step with the rest of correct jewry, is trotted out, and made to serve the agenda of those not interested in having their narrow worldview challenged. Are any of you capable of adressing the issue without resorting to ad hominem attacks or rabidly patriotic ranting? I agree that Kaufman's analogy needs some work, but judging from the comments it seems to have hit a nerve.

The type raised Orthodox then does their best to move away from anything relating to their past. "I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants" They could be - but since the Jews only targeted the Nazi soldiers, we celebrate their determination against the genocidal Nazis. Not to be confused with the Pal terrorists who actively target civilians - Israeli and Palestinian - to destroy an existing State which has never engaged in the atrocities of Nazis. This guy is shameful and it's surprising that such a retard is sitting on the Parliament floor.

But if British non-Jews still feel guilt about the Holocaust, maybe they should. Britian did little to stop the Holocaust. Yes it fought the Germans, but never because of their Jewish laws. And then they did all they could to stop Holocaust survivors getting to Israel. BUT that has nothing to do with this Gaza Op.

Absolutely true the Palestinian have nothing to do with what happened to Jews in WWII Just wondering, why the German didn’t give the Jews Bavaria to establish Israel as compensation for the Holocaust. By the way In Russia there is Jewish autonomy was given by Stalin at that time.

how can the British ppl still keep him around how can he say that it is the same did his grandmother die by blowing her self up did she pray that here kids would kill jews did she sit in bed and send rockets to the other land ? is there some thing that i dont know about her that he is saying such i thing they are getting killed b/c they gave up gaza now the palestinians are saying the only reason we are fighting is b/c they dont let us in there land they lock us out y do we have to let them in and blow up jew ppl

And the idiotic comments made by this Kaufman, prove this point well.

GERALD KAUFMAN IS NOTHING BUT A SELF HATING JEW WHO APPARENTLY WANTS ENTRY TO SOME EXCLUSIVE GENTILE COUNTRY CLUB.. THERE'S ENOUGH JEW HATE IN THE WORLD. WE DON'T NEED A JEW TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT

He is not comparing Gaza to Warsaw Ghetto ,read one more time. If you still not getting it ,let me know I will explain it to you.

This Jewish gentleman is not going along with the Zionist plan and I admire any Jewish person who does this. They are on my side and on the side of humanity. I advise other Jews on here to see the light and join us, escape from your own virtual concentration camp.

This is not Lit Crit, #48. His "analogy" is a distortion and makes no sense. His claim that the Israeli government is exploiting the Holocaust is a fabrication and he gives and has no proof. He is a demagogue. Someone who turns against his own people is a traitor and the Jewish people have had harsh things to say about turncoats for thousands of years. One of the things Jews do from the Torah--it's the mitzvot--is support each other; this is not some sort of lockstep PC response or :hitting a nerve", it is something that goes much deeper. The man is horrifying and depressing.

Jews, this is why you have such a tortured history, you can not take any critisism even when it comes from your own! Stop the mob mentality, it is OK to think differently than what your rabi tells you.
