1. Huh?
R ,   Israel   (11.16.09)
This article has been up for 75 minutes and nobody has blamed the violence against gays and lesbians on the Israel occupation. Is everyone out to lunch?
2. Let's see...
Captain Obvious ,   CA   (11.16.09)
When Israel behaves badly....Jew around the world suffer!! The more the truth get out about the way Israel acts...the more the world will react against those whom say 'God" said the land of Israel to "belongs". If only Israel could contain their own parasites whom make the world view the "Holyland" in even more disbelief...the leaches need to be cut -off and removed! I'm NOT referring to the Arabs who are willing to give to the country of Israel (not the jewish state of Israel). Ask Intel who these parasites are...
3. Captin obviously

a moron
4. to number #1 . give them time
observer   (11.16.09)
please give them some time . they will come up with a link . even the solar outbursts in the sun's inner core is a result of some imagined zionist conspiracy . looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
5. What goes around comes around
Josh   (11.16.09)
I hate to say it. How many vistors, workers and converts were discriminated against in Israel? Seems G-d has an account for unrighteousness. All should pay heed to history and Torah. You can't be unrighteous and violate Torah.
6. Considering what is done by Jews to palestinians..Is it
RJBH ,   Methil   (11.16.09)
so surprising that jews get a bad reception from those not blinded by Zionist propaganda.
7. to #6 after the Texas masscare
ghostq   (11.16.09)
the Muslims in the USA is in much worse condition.
8. not fair
aiman ,   jersey   (11.16.09)
Why should the average Jew in Cali get harrased cause some dirtbag in Israel is treating arabs badly. Not fair I def hate Zionists but I meet Jews here in America that are some of the nicest people I have ever met.
9. to #8 not all zionists r jews.
ghostq   (11.16.09)
mmm you sound a tad racist.
10. Not an inverse relationship...
shuebydoo ,   USA   (11.16.09)
There is a direct relationship between the rise in the U.S. muslim populace and hate/terrorist crimes against Jews and Americans. As far as gays/lesbians are concerned, this insult-to-Hashem lifestyle has gravitated more and more Americans to enact state Constitutional Ammendments to prevent this abomination (God's adjective) from being included in the institution of marriage. Marriage by the way is a COVENANT between one man, one woman and their creator!
11. Attacks in California
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (11.16.09)
No one can deny that I am vehemently anti-zionist. However, I condemn attacks on Jews elsewhere, perhaps many of whom are at least non-zionists. The attacks on Jews in California were gratuitous, egregious, and unwarranted, not to mention criminal. I hope the perpetrators are speedily brought to justice.
12. to all
Tamir ,   Los Angeles   (11.16.09)
so many ignorant responses. Most of you are saying that jews deserve this treatment based on Israeli policies. Even if Israel's policies were racist (which they aren't) does that justify the discrimination of jews? in that same regard we should all discriminate against every single arab because of 9/11 or the multiple other muslim related killings around the country. Disrimination of jews is very simply anti semitic hatred and has NO JUSTIFICATION.
13. To #8:
Dan ,   Israel   (11.16.09)
"Some of my best friends are *insert minority here* but *insert racist comment here*" is the oldest trick in the book. Jews aren't being harassed in California for Israel's actions, they're being harassed because of age old stereotypes, misconceptions and lack of education.
14. Don't believe California "statistics"
Steve ,   SF-usa   (11.17.09)
They' re used to push political agendas and never tell the whole story. How many of these attacks on jews were by muslims? They'll never say. How many whites were attacked by blacks-another verbotten question- How many attacks were by illegal aliens? Never discussed. Everything in California is skewed by political correctness and therefore invalid and useless in finding a solution. 184 "incidents" in a State of nearly 40mil is not a trend. I can assure you that we Californians don't care what religion you are/aren't as long as you practice it peacefully. Here,we often don't even know who our neighbors are-and really don't care-unless the cops show-up at their door. Atty Gen Brown (aka Gov Moonbeam) is running for Governor and is simply trying to get some votes. In the old days, if anyone messed with a jewish person they often were visited by a couple of tough-looking guys from the JDL for "re-education"-now, the State does that job with "hate crime" charges,"diversity education" and "anger management" classes.
15. #5moron, milions DIE cause they never stuck
urj   (11.17.09)
to your tora? are you gona blame 6000000 jews for not praying right? i agree that israel in general dont employ workers right, that racism exist in all levels between everyone and anyone any body who say otherwize just lies to him/herself. herussment of jews is not israels problem but rather the ca state police or local sheriff office of l.a county.
16. Just as long as....
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (11.17.09)
Just as long as the recipients of those 184 assaults, threats, and other crimes did more than just sit and take it, then it doesn't matter too much. As a native of california, I would always walk around with a magen david on and I would, from time to time, be subjected to some bigitory or ignorance. But I would counter the ignorance with intelligence and the bigotry with action. My favorite movie quote of all time comes from the movie "Porky's" -"When you're a Jew you have to learn how to fight or take a lot of shit... I don't like taking shit."
17. We Need Israelis To Teach US to Live
Dav Lev ,   CaliforniaUSA   (11.18.09)
Oh come on guys, in the streets of Chicago and Brooklyn, we Jews were not allowed to just "take it" from the goyim. We were forced to learn to fight and we did. We dealt with the bigots..to their shock and dismay.Here in Calif, it's legal to own pepper spray and tasers..I often carry, just waiting for some wise guy to attack. My body language says, "Don't tread on me". Many in my area live behind gated fences..and have weapons. Patrols are always there, coordinated with the police. "Never again is our motto, and we mean it. Then of course, we have the LAPD and sheriffs dept. Cars guard shuls often times..just look for them. They are there. As the revered Jewish patriot said, "Every Jew a 22".
18. We Need a Guardian Angel Right Now
Dav Lev ,   California   (11.18.09)
Lets get serious. There are hundreds of cells of Jihadists, right here in the good old US of A. Iran boasts 40,000 suicide bombers. Every wannabe terrorist planned Jewish attacks..people and institutions. Movie people are enticing. But we also have our Mel Gibson types..who aren't afraid of the Sheriffs..when drunk. I have personally witnessed several near assaults against friends..We are armed with tasers and pepper spray (legal here, but not everywhere). A citizens arrest is okay, but be careful. The disquished M. Kahane said, "Every Jew a 22". I say, also a 12 gauge..just hear that, it's music to my ears.
19. i dont like liberal american jews.
mira ,   israel   (11.19.09)
