31. #4-Charles Kennedy who enobled her, resigned from LibDem
Alan ,   SA   (02.13.10)
as its leader, due to his severe Alcohol Problem . Clegg said he himself had slept with less than 30 Women These are the leaders of the Third Party of UK!
32. sack Goldstone = solution of Gaza affair
(02.13.10)
33. Alan SA. Clegg is wet bag,but whats Fatima Hajaig? good rep?
John ,   Miami, FL, USA.   (02.13.10)
a good rep of your country? Isn't she is in your current parliament as Deputy Foreign Minister of South Africa, screaming anti semite??, luckily the UK's Clegg will never be any more than just the 3rd party man, and will stand down after the general election. For sure.
34. SUGGESTIONS for future such cases
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (02.13.10)
In Sweden after the article about Israelis harvesting organs in Gaza, two Swedish Jews took organs from animals in plastic bags to the newspaper offices. The receptionist after getting them made a stupid face, did not know what to do. The incident has humor and it was effective. Let's return phony organs to all those retard antisemites.
35. Alan SA sounds jealous that he isnt one of the 30 women?
Rotem ,   Tel Aviv   (02.13.10)
he mentions this pointless boring fact 2 times in this new article. so what. if clegg gets fun or not. are you jealous your not one of the 30 women? or are you one off the 30 women?? :-))
36. Deja vu- the protocols of the elders of zion
ilana ,   Kfar Sava Israel   (02.13.10)
It's like asking the Jewish people to form a commission to investigate the truth of the protocols, a fabrication and provocation, just as this is.
37. So if someone accuses you of anything..
Perplexed   (02.14.10)
it is then your responsibility to clear your name? You're guilty first then you need to prove your innoence? The IDF would be too busy to provide defense if it were constantly doing proving missions....ridiculous.
38. Jenny's New Title: Unemployed
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.14.10)
What the Israeli delegation accomplished in Haiti was admirable. This frumpy women couldn't handle the positive attention received by Israel so she used her position to fabricate lies. Disgusting!
39. Tonge
Arby Muller ,   Baden Germany   (02.14.10)
Typical of the far left whackos, this walking-wounded moron should be put to pasture. Where do Labor find these idiots.
40. Wow
Kalil ,   Sydney Australia   (02.14.10)
So now videos on Youtube made by racists is cause for an investigation!? Insanity.
41. Clegg doesn't think Tonge a racist
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.14.10)
Tells us the Clegg is a stupid as she is.
42. Tonge
Louis Fried ,   Woodbridge   (02.14.10)
Good riddance Ms. Tonge. But why did the leader of the SDP, Nick Klegg, not dismiss her immediately from the party. Probably because in the UK such anti-Israel and anti-semitic remarks are acceptable unless the uproar is too strong.
43. she's a 60s reject
Evan ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (02.14.10)
She's a 60s reject, an embarrassing holdover from the power to the people era. With charcters like this, it's no wonder the UK is transitioning into Eurabia.
44. Not covered by the brittish media; nothing from Sky, BBC.
er der   (02.14.10)
45. "lovers of peace" and pro"palistineins"
(02.14.10)
just lost any Credibility they still had
46. Liberals are traditionally anti Israel
zionist forever   (02.14.10)
Nick Clegg knows there is a general election in November and whilst Jenny Tonge doesn't have to worry about reelection the Liberal MPS have alot to worry about. Comments like this can't even be justified to the anti Israel bunch if they want to keep any sense of respect and credibility and there are plenty of jews out there who vote Lib Dem. Clegg should have spoken out and fired her as soon as she made the statement instead of sitting it out to see what public opinion was. Its a shame he can't strip her of her peerage its all she deserves.
47. #44 Yes it is. I am here and watched Sky news, BBC
Rina ,   London   (02.14.10)
But also, that fact that isnt FRONT page news like some of the Israeli English speaking news sites seem to be taking, further emphasises just what a no body Tonge is. I never heard of her before, but I certainly do now. There is currently a general election looming, its all about everything the conservatives do these days, as many in British Media want to win. Conservative has had Jewish leaders et al and is an open supporter of Israel. http://www.cfoi.co.uk/
48. No 44. Incorrect. It is covered by British media, see links
Alon ,   London   (02.14.10)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8513662.stm Even a random suburban newspaper has covered it: http://www.harrowobserver.co.uk/west-london-news/world-uk-news/2010/02/13/lib-dem-frontbencher-tonge-fired-116451-25825765/ and the proudly zionist newspaper with 5 million daily readers, thats 4 million more than the guardian by the way!! http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/stephaniegutmann/100025868/jenny-tonge-and-organ-harvesting-this-woman-is-scary/
49. John and Co-U guys always telling me about SA A Sem misfits
Alan ,   SA   (02.14.10)
50. irresponsible
Nimrod ,   Baghdad, Iraq   (02.15.10)
why would any one make such statements without having any objective tangible evidence, Israelis have helped the Turks, Bosnians etc in the past and maybe the Israeli government is seeing this as a means to help Israel's image or gain Haiti's votes or side in Int'l organizations and this is a smart strategy why not, I wish Arab states would do the same, its civilized and smart.
51. liberalo fascista JK?
will edwards ,   dallas tx usa   (02.18.10)
It is odd how the hard core so-called right wing are always willing to call their intolerance of others just and those who oppose them as the fascists, mostly because the most evil form of fascism contained the word "socialist": when it was not. Fascism is the product of greedy hard nosed obstinate bigots believing they are ordained by their false god to be ethically and morally superior to those they lord over. It is their rationale for keeping liberty and economic prosperity from the general population and it is their justification for their wicked and bloodthirsty religion. Liberals are rarely fascists. Fascists however will call themselves many things because they believe the end justifies the means. That is the inherent wickedness of a hard nosed intolerant bigot.
52. #16 Britain in dire straits?
will edwards ,   dallas tx usa   (02.18.10)
Sir: Britain has long tried to destroy Israel. Even from the beginning of the current nation of Israel Britain took back a lot of the land it supposedly "gave" and has tried to ruin its progress and success from day one. it has intentionally slandered Israel, repeatedly supported the wickedness that is Islam and the evil that is the Palestinian (Philistine) people. There is no masking the horror that is the British Empire. Just ask any citizen of any country they sadistically ruled over. There is no legitimate cause for ever thinking Britain is anything more then it is... a wicked overbearing usurper of other lands and peoples.
53. archie #24
will edwards ,   dallas tx usa   (02.18.10)
outside of selling conversions and trading such for sex, being caught and prosecuted for organ trading, beating their wives into hospitals and worse, sexually abusing children, and absolutely no support for their ultra right wing ideology in Torah, I can' t see why anyone would look at the Haredim Archie.... Oh forgot... the practice of torturing their children in the name of Ha-Shem.
54. liberals are traditionally anti-Israel???:
will edwards ,   dallas tx usa   (02.18.10)
Sir: Don't look now but your ignorance is showing. The basic tenet of liberalism is toleration of others and a willingness to share liberties with those of differing view. There are a number of fascist and Islamic groups calling themselves liberal, but calling a tail a leg doesn't make it so. You sir,are either a product of propaganda or a propagandist yourself, slandering good kind loving people everywhere, which your fellow Jew makes up a large percentage of. It is a Mitzvot to be tolerant of other people and their ways. This woman supporter of Islamic terrorism, Tonge, is a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be liberal and democratic when most of her publicly recorded statements are far to the contrary. Please stop being another detractor of the good in humanity and keep the evil tongue in check for your own benefit.
