Wait, you're Jewish? Are you one of those people who think they're better then the rest because their Sephardi? Nice way to have a discussion, by the way. You just ignore every argument that's been said to you and shout "I RULE YOU SUCK!". That will just make people think you're a troll (unless you are one).

now we understand...to be succesful and extremely bright, one must also be totally evil....interesting conclusion. no wonder you are still sitting on the zero! i guess every nobel prize winner in science that is not jewish is also evil? and this is how he got his nobel prize. you fool and ignorant person. the only people holding the arabs are arabs and their governments. no one is holding you prisoners but your hate, your propaganda, your mentality and your backwardness, your laziness, your constant crying "not fair" and your constant hand that says "give me, give me more". the arab nations are ladden with riches and oil. yet, 50% of their people are illiterate. explain that!!! so, quickly, increase your EVIL asap so that you can at least come up half way towards modernity. LOOSERRRRRR! hameed aboughaze, iranian

39. Good going Palestinian Dove
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (10.07.09)
for taking credit for our Nobel Prize winner being an Arab (Sephardic Jew) and good going for wanting to "smash" Israel in the Oscars. So we can both take credit for Professor Yonath's achievements and we can look forward to the ppossible excellence of Palestinians in the Oscars. That's the kind of fighting and competitive spirit I like to read about, not the "sour grapes" nor blaming the "other" (Israel) for one's lack of achievement which you earlier posted on this Talkback. And you are right, at one time (a very long time ago), Arab learning brought us the mathematical concept of zero and Arab learning (in Spain, the Moors) was very advanced and kept alive for the West the immense advancements ( with translations) from the ancient Greeks and the Moorish civilization included an abundance of philosphers and physicians and shared their learning with Christians and Jews and invited people, i.e. Maimonides, from other faiths to share in all they achieved and, as a result, became an advanced centre in southern Spain for several hundred years. So having written all that, and with appreciation for the advances contributed to the world by Arabs and Muslims in general, why cannot you show the same generosity of spirit towards Israel's contributions, a small country in the mideast constantly threatened yet, nonetheless, significantly contributing. And yes, I'd be happy to witness some genuine contributions by Muslims such as that magnificent novels from the Nobel Prize winner, Naguib Mafouz, from the country of Egypt. If mideast Muslims were to contribute in a positive way, many of the current problems foisted upon the world by Muslim terrorists would considerably diminish and all of us would profit as a result. I am appealing to you, Palestinian Dove, does any of this make sense to you?

if she is, more power to her!!! also, there is no such thing as an arab jew, you imbecile. you are either jewish or arab. period. is she a descendant of one of the million jews you threw out of your arab lands, whom you opressed, persecuted, murdered and hanged in public squares in cairo and syria and other arab countries???? is she a descendant of the jews that lived under your opressive arab islamic regimes and sharia laws that forbade jews jobs, to pray in public, to walk the sidewalk on which muslims walk?, to be unable to live anywhere except mellas and ghetos? to be persecuted and not have rights in islamic courts? to be considered dhimi and second class citizens, protected and never equall? is this the kind of jew you mean??? i am sure they thank you for kicking them out and for their chance to go and build a country in which they can live free according to their humane law, not yours. hameed aboughaze, iranian

47. Somehow or other, Palestinian Dove,
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (10.07.09)
you are not "dovish" at all and you love taking the "victim" role when, in fact, you and your people have become the greatest obstacles to civilization on the globe in the latter half of the twentieth century. Your bitterness is telling and you are, and remain, a telling example of why the Palestinian people and modern Arabs in general cannot, and will not, move beyond destruction of others and consequent damage to themselves. When you and your people stop blaming others, then you will begin to step in the right direction. In the meantime, with all your oil money and with all the consequent devotion of the western countries, mideast Arabs have not moved one step closer to aiding their own people. In fact, in view of all your fundamentalism and terror tactics, your net level of civilization has moved backwards. Even the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Naguid Mafouz, was threatened by fundamentalist Egyptians (Muslim Brotherhood) and had to go into hiding in the latter part of his life. I don't write any of this with pleasure as mideast Arabs assault all of us and make life difficult but your terror tactics also define the threat to the world population (and Israel) from Muslim entities and, in the minds of any non-fundamentalist, it is something to be ashamed of and you, as a mideastern Arab, should be ashamed . But it's obvious that you are very ambivalent about all this and your bitterness is flowing and blocking your own regeneration. I think it's a shame for you and for all mideastern Arabs, especially the young, that you cannot reach beyond except by complaining, blaming, making other people responsible for your own ills and meeting problems in life with violence towards others and yourselves and with unspeakable and obscene tactics of terror. I had hoped that you, yourself, from earlier posts, could meet with the challenges ahead but, instead, you disappoint and your misery with regard to yourself and your people is the only characteristic which is, unfortunately, evident.

So, what did you Arabs give us? Try again.

52. I hope that in her acceptance speech, she acknowledges the
Rivkah   (10.08.09)
Righteous Gentile woman who protected over 2500 Jewish children in Nazi Europe who was not given the Nobel Peace Prize before she died because Al Gore got it for a short film on the global warming hoax. She should say she accepts the honor on behalf of herself and also those who should have been awarded Nobel prizes but were not, especially a noble woman who protected so many Jewish children.
53. #45 No!, both Americans got all, she got null

54. Congratulations, Professor!
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.09.09)
You join a very long list of exemplary Jews whose work has benefited humanity. I just wish the world would pay attention and stop focusing on alleged "rights" of known terrorists. Again, congratulations, Professor. You have done your people proud!!!

Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.09.09)
Your ethnicity does not matter. What you are -- clearly -- is extraordinarily stupid. How do you stand yourself? Why don't you just die and make the word a far better place?
57. Sephardic Jews ARE NOT ARABS
Yosef ,   Israel   (10.10.09)
You have to be brainless to say something like that (or too much machiavelic, trying to push fellow Jews - Ashkenazi and Sephardi - into a clash). Let's state the truth: -Ashkenazi and Sephardi ARE RITUAL DIVISIONS -Jews ARE AN SINGLE ETHNICITY (with their own religion), GENTICALLY BOUND TOO -Arabs ARE A L A N G U A G E GROUPING, unifying many PEOPLES: Bedouins (Lybians, ...), Druzes, Egyptians, Berbers, Assyrians, Persians (Khuzestan), Phoenicias (Leabaneses), etc.
