31. Yair 's grandpa
nuni ,   US   (04.22.09)
Reading over this article I can't help but feel, since it stands out like a sore thumb, that these are Yair (whatever his last name is) words. This neutral, feel good ,op ed piece coming from the mouth of one who is an established hater of his people and Israel, would only serve to PROVOKE all these good people and comments being written here

who are you to tell anyone not to come to Israel..? You are a nut ! It would be a pleasure and privelege to move to Israel with Kerwood Darby and YOU need to leave !! You are a disgrace! You are what makes Israelis look bad. Leave.!nuni Israel is too good for ypu. Sorry Mr. Darby. Passion for right is a good thing! The nerve of that person. They really need mental help.
33. #32. Please Nuni, I am not worthy, but todah rabah

Please keep in mind that I am not Jewish (ani lo yehudi). It would be a very special moment nevertheless to appreciate the land that so many, for whom it is named for, reject which endangers their lives. Yair and Ido reject the land of their name. By rejecting the land they reject also not just that aspect of Judaism that come to be called Zionism, but Judaism itself. I do not intend to express hatred in my words. Surely Yair and Ido have shown that they hate themselves enough, they don't need our help. There are others that justifiably need to leave Eretz Yisorel more than either of them. Please help enforce the right of return of those that come to kill Jews back to their homicidal, Hamaite, peninsular homeland of their own name so the Jews can live in peace in their homeland, Jews in peace in Judea, Yehudim in Yehuda. I find it difficult to think of a situation where I would feel compelled to call for a Jew to leave Judea, I obviously feel compelled to speak when Jews like Tommy did and Yair does. If a Jew acted to destroy Jewish life, then perhaps he should be treated equally to any other that came to kill Jews. The pathological desire of destroying Jewish life is certainly manifested by Yair and with psychotic chutzpa since he would say that the Jews that live in the land of their own name need to have their lives destroyed because by their living in the land of their name they endanger Jewish life. I know? Forgive me, I must ask you though to please reconsider the thought of Ido (assuming he is a Jew) of being someone who should leave Eretz Yisroel. There are others much more deserving of that sentiment. Again, Todah and I am not worthy of your kindness.
34. And How many Times do Zionist Demonise Palestinians..
RJBH ,   Methil   (04.23.09)
and seek to destroy Palestine for their own personel gain and greater Israel... and how many times does the World Allow it because the jews ... "Suffered".
35. To #33 Mr. Darby Sir...

haha..without knowing who you are I knew you are not Jewish.! You have the true Jewish soul. You have the good Christian soul. Your vision is clear. The Jews, so many of them, are mixed up. Since there are only a few Jews left after the holocaust, then there are only a few left to fight back. Among those , once you subtract the Jews who are unknowledgable, the Jews who are cowards, the Jews who are unwilling, the antiJewish mental ones....there are only a few left to fight. You are the courageous heroes. There are definitely Jews that need to be deported out of the country.. They are enemies of the country who will spawn more like them .They have SO MANY problems with the country and blab wherever they go .An Israeli accent does not make a good Jew. A rabbinic certification does not make one a good rabbi. As one of the "Godolim" who I deeply respect said"those are not rabbis' upon encountering a situation where the rabbis were using their title as moral authority and were completely wrong. You and others like you who fight for us..my dear friend, are a breath of fresh air. I never thought one iota about your religion. I thought about your heart and mind. And, again, it would be my pleasure to make aliya with you.

seek to "destroy Palestinians "? If Israel wanted to destroy them, why is their birthrate double and tripling? Israel is called"nazi". My parents families could not be multiplied. The children were murdered in ovens! Their birthrate did not go up. Sorry if it bothers you. "Our suffering". Too bad. YOU helped do this and you will have to see our memorial, Israel, Forever.

We are planning to make aliyah. You are something that we do NOT want to deal with when we live there. The ministry of Tourism and the Aliyah department needs to really do something about you. A one way ticket out! PLEASE do this on your own. So we do not have to get to work immediately upon arriving. You should begin packing up and start the travel arrangement..one way. PLEASE. You will not be allowed to polute my famiy's air. We come to Israel, to our homeland. You Need To Get out !

"Demonize" Palestinians? How can you demonize people who engage in suicide bombing and other forms of terror? If you like them that much, invite them en masse to come live in Scotland. They certainly aren't wanted in Israel. Or Jordan. Or Egypt. Or Lebanon. Or Tunisia. Are you seeing a pattern here? Take 'em. Glasgow. Edinburgh. Aberdeen. Wherever the hell. If you love 'em that much, they're yours. Have fun with the missiles and the terror, idiot.
39. #36 (hi Nuni) & #38, #34 is a canard, deliberately false.
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (04.24.09)
Of course mass-murderers, don't need to be demonized based on the suffering of their victims caused by others, and others in other times. Those that come to kill Jews and left in their midst today, who take on the the latin inspired impersonation of a balestinian do so to justify their existence outside of their homeland and left in your midst to kill you and to de-legitimize your existence in the land of your own name. That is why the term 'West Bank' was coined for YoSh since the exiled Hejaz Hashamite in the east bank commissioned a London PR firm for a de-Judahizing designation for his ill-gotten gains of the '48 battle wherein you have had an existence, since the first (who was a convert) over 3000 years ago. Arabs have been trying to exterminate you since they arrived 1400 years (and only controlled the area for less than 100 years and never controlled it as an arab nation, balestinian or otherwise). And guess, what? Your people have, whenever in the galut, have striven, dreamed, yearned to return to the land of your own name even 1000+ years before those from the peninsula of their own name came to the land of your own name. Those that come to kill you today justify their actions by claiming that Jewish suffering in the past century, regardless of these historical mass-murderers of Jews own complicity, should not be a justification for Jews to live in the land of their own name. Do you see that the justifiable memorialization of the mass-murder of Jews as well as others, but specifically because of the mass-murder of Jews is claimed not to be not only a valid justification for Jews to live in the land of their own name, but that the historic Jewish suffering and their continued existence in the land of their own name since before the last century is irrelevant. Those that come to kill you fantasize that you only exist in the land of your own name because of the Shoa, while at the same time deny that their own, like amin al huseini or obama's babysitting partner's family (rashid khalidi, who sat in the ed said chair of anti-semitism [that is, being pro anti-semitism], otherwise known as the chair of middle east studies at the "Jewish" founded Middle East Institute at Columbia Univ.) had any part in the Shoa (despite acting to exterminate long before they collaborated with the Nazi's, and ever since), that their collaboration with the Nazi's is no reason to allow Jews to live in the land of their own name. A land that had Jews in it long before the mass-murdering, extortionists even battled with the Jews of Medina which they one because of a ploy that today you may know as a hudna.
