Bob ,   NYC, USA   (11.13.09)
that her actual diary was found to be a work of fiction. Is this not true now?
2. they only worship Allah, no-one else

3. And they attempt to pretend that they are anti-Zionist, not
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.13.09)
anti-Jewish....
4. finally
frank ,   israel   (11.13.09)
someone has said it. Liberals stil haven't gotten the point. It is not about Israel, it is about Jews. The world simply hates us. Why? For them it doesn't matter as everyone needs someone to hate. Lately they simply hate us because we no longer lay down for them. They can't seem to understand how it is that we continue to thrive and grow in the face of world adversity. But they still have to hate, and since we have a long history, small population and too many liberals, we are and have always been the perfect target. But the times they are a changing....
5. Condemning hizbullah ? thugs ?, see any difference?

Great work of modern literature and civilization -- A blatant expression of Holocaust denial -- A disgraceful act. Did anyone expect anything else from pagans? -- with gods like allah, muhammad & Co. what can the civilized world look forward to.Now that Lebanon is in the islamic "juggernaut", it will act like most muslim devotees do . Pervert history (a specialty), lie about their own(another specialty), invent or rewrite it (an expertise). Bombastic speeches tailored for the illiterate masses was always a favorite for the like of amin el Husseini, Nasser,Saddam, Haniyeh, Nasrallah, Ahmadino and other would be Kings.Understandably, they had no time to excel in the sciences, medicine, hi-tech, so they had to leave 'all that' for the 'miserable Jews". That's why, THEY refuse to use the cell phone, computers, the polio vaccine, Roentgen, bone marrow transplant, and life savings contributions. I do get a kick out of " these respected established schools ".Tell me, Mr Hajj Hassan, respected by whom?;Nasrallah and his cohorts? or maybe Mr Jimmy Shoufany (very American) who is ashamed to identify the school? A sick country, ruled by sick leaders.

joe ,   usa   (11.13.09)
...how stupid are you? dont worry, you can get a job at al-manar! :)
7. lebanon has only room for one pity party
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.13.09)
how dare anyone try to get a piece of their victimhood action.
8. this action just shows
Ilana   (11.13.09)
that anti zionism=anti-semetism no doubt about it. No tolerance in islam for others!!! Ugh!
9. anti-zionism=anti-semitism
Duchess   (11.13.09)
10. "fundamental hatred of ... extremists for all things Jewish"
Bob   (11.13.09)
"fundamental hatred of Islamic extremists for all things Jewish" Islamics mimic the secular Jewish hatred for all things Jewish - think of Avi and Charles. If Secular Jews would remember the Holocaust the Jewish way, Muslims wouldn't have such hatred for all things Jewish.
11. #1 And when did this happen, pray?
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (11.13.09)
Here's the thing - David Irving and his ilk wouldn't know fact from forgery, and they're the ones claiming that the diary was fake. It wasn't. The Netherlands Institute for War Documentation, the current holders of the original manuscripts following the death of Otto Frank, investigated them thoroughly for authenticity, and found them to be real. Of course, that won't hold back Holocaust deniers - to them, it's just another conspiracy.
12. ???/Bob
Duchess   (11.13.09)
whatever! Totally unclear as to your meaning...
13. no excuses for hatred Bob
Ilana   (11.13.09)
don't try to blame Jews for others hating them. Some sense or an ounce of intelligence! So all hated groups are to blame for the hatred against them/ Or only Jews? Muslims mimic whatever they choose and no one is to blame for this!! Totally weird way of thinking. I am aghast.

You talk about liberals but you need to remember that a lot of Jews are liberals too. That is how we got Obama. But you are sure right about there being to many liberals.
15. Sorry Frank
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.13.09)
I misread your post and put words in your mouth you didn't say. I'm sorry Frank. I wish the world would recognize what a wonderful people the Jews really are.
16. Good for Lebanon
Halloween ,   USA   (11.13.09)
Jews only worship themselves.
17. Hezbollah are Nazis.
Samir S. Halabi ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (11.13.09)
Some Hezbollah should be captured taken to Yad-Vashem forced to see all relevant films depicting the shoah of the Jewish people. They should then have their throats slit before being dumped over the border to lebanon with swastikas emblazoned on them.
18. Anne Frank's dairy is not a Bible nothing wrong about
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC   (11.14.09)
banning it. For some reason Jews think the world is all about them. I wander if Israel allows to teach nakba in their schools. Fortunately there is no AIPAC in Lebanon.
19. bravo
alan dershowitz ,   boston, usa   (11.14.09)
samir...khabibi...u luv hezbollah dont ya?
20. Why the surprise? Hezbollah is allied to Iran!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (11.14.09)
Iran's raving lunatic president and those who support him deny the Holocaust and to them the "Diary of Anne Frank" is another Zionist fictional tale. What Iran says is a command to their little puppy dog, Hassan Nasrallah, and the Lebanese Prime Minister, Said Harriri, has sold his soul to the devils who killed his father!
21. BooHoo
Carl ,   beirut, Lebanon   (11.14.09)
This is the most ridiculous article I have ever read! WHAT is the point of it? You Israelis get ticked off about removing it from a Lebanese school (whic has nothing to do with you anyway). Is there any mention of the Armenian Genocide? Maronite Suffering? in your schools? Enough with he Judeocentrism and the nag nag nag! Uffffft!
22. to #21 the point is lebanese r doomed to repeat
ghostq   (11.15.09)
the holocaust. and yes Israel helped the armeenian people, there is entire quarter in jerusalem for the armenian including the churchs still in tackt. and many Israelis I reckoned visit that city if it's not at school it's in the people homes. go do your homework cause you probably slept during history lessons.
23. 21 just proved my #7 post true
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.15.09)
as yasser arafat used to say: thank you, thank you, thank you.
24. if they "hate all things Jewish"
David Cohen ,   Jerusalem   (11.15.09)
Why did Hezbollah allow, and then help finance, the refurbishment of Beirut's largest synagogue (as reported in the very paper [i.e. YNET] that now suggests that the organization is inherently anti-semitic)? Perhaps, just perhaps, Hezbollah's qualm is not with Ms. Franks' tragic legacy -- but with that legacy's exploitation by the State of Israel. just a thought.
25. Noam Chomsky, and progressives where are you? I can not hear
simple man ,   granada hills, ca   (11.15.09)
you, I keep looking around, and seems the critical moments that you have to express "your progressive agenda", your are not there only showing up when bashing Israel? shame on you
26. Banning of any type of book in a country is a bad sign.
vered ,   israel   (11.17.09)
27. #26 mein Kampf, elders of Zion, Martin Luther on Jews?
observer   (11.20.09)
28. You hypoctites !
John   (11.20.09)
What did you expect? Didn't israel lead the way in censoring schoolbooks used by palestinian children? Didn't israel just recently censor out the palestinian halocaust, Nakba, from textbooks used by palestinian school children?
29. #9 anti-zionism=anti-semitism ?
Duke ,   Earth   (11.20.09)
Pathetic
