33. I'm sorry, the ? was "can Israeli actions be a root of
Ken ,   Switzerland   (03.30.10)
antisemitism not " the root".I agree, antisemitism has many roots, mostly taking root in the past(dark ages). Since then, I like to think humanity has been enlighten, the world is no longer seen as flat. Granted, there are those who will disagree." For me the world is a soap bubble, blowing in the wind, we all have to live on this bubble so pease, put away your pins and have happy holidays!"

LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.30.10)
"JEWISH PROBLEM ??" They 'aint seen nothing yet .Muslim rule will make european lives worse than hell ,and they will pine for the days when they lived among Jews,those 6 million who they butchered mercilessly. Who says there is no justice ?
35. Fight anti-Semitism
Ron B. ,   Lod   (03.30.10)
In Europ as well as in the U.S.A., there are threats, once again, on Jewish communities and Jewish Institutions by anti-Semitics organizations and individuals. As long as hate of Jews and incitement will be preached by the Imams in the Moskes and will be tolerated, anti-Semitism will florish. Anti-Semitism is a world plight as noticed at: http://xrl.us/bjt95
36. #3 to Swiss - Answer- No.
Harry Fenton ,   NY USA   (03.30.10)
Israeli actions are not the root of anti-semitism - Arab and European anti-semitism is rooted in Islamic and Christian religious doctrine against Jews. There were Arab pogroms against Jews for thousands of years - they were dhimmis or second class citizens even where they predated Islam (like in Iran and Iraq and Syria). And what of Switzerland and France - Israel allows minarets and burkas - does your "enlightened" society. No - face it - the prominent anti-Israel behavior is racist in nature - and the Europeans have also shown their racism towards Arabs in the form of the minaret ban and not allowing Turkey into their midst. #3 is a pure hypocrite - his country's wealth is built on war and genocide while claiming false neutrality. Feh!
37. Not only waiting in EU to hurt Jews, but take over EU itself
Alan ,   SA   (03.30.10)
38. ANTI SEMITISM TO CHRIS #3
JIM ,   CHICAGO   (03.30.10)
chris you sound like a two year old. people do dislike jews simply because they are jews-jews are the other. christians have been killing jews for 2000 years. muslims the last 200 years. way before a state of israel. if jews didn't exist, the world would have to create them.
39. All you antisemites who send letters..
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.30.10)
Send your letters and hate BS to Alk-Jazeera or Der Spiegel, or the BBc or shitty British tabloids, stop sending your crap to Ynet.
40. Shelter
Choni Davidowitz   (03.30.10)
Do not be concerned; Jews can always take shelter behind the "kotel" that Chabad built
41. No. 4 Chris
NYC Girl   (03.30.10)
Let's put an end to your asinine contention that Israel's actions (in order to defend its citizens, by the way) are the cause of anti-Semitism. The Holocaust took place before the State of Israel existed. Talk about ignorant and prejudiced people.
42. #3-"...anti-semitism ... innate characteristic.."?
Christy ,   Boston, US   (03.31.10)
Of course people aren't born being prejudiced against *anyone*. The hatred and prejudice is taught and caught. It takes on a life of its own and spreads like an virulent infection. This is done via propaganda in the media, through various leaders, and in institutions. Prejudice and hatred for a group can become like a religion unto itself. The articles of faith state that group X is bad, has done wrong, wants to take over and/or kill us, etc..Stories are repeated and embellished. Some of the stories have been around at least since the last century. I've observed that once a group of people is looked at through a filter of hatred and prejudice -- nothing any member of that group does is ever any good.
43. #4 Thank you Chris
israeli ,   israel   (03.31.10)
Anti-semites claim that they do not hate Jews, but simply disapprove of Israeli policies. Thank you Chris for proving that anti-zionism and anti-semitism are one and the same. Thank you for giving us ample proof that you think anti-semitism is perfectly justified because you disagree with the Israelis (20% of whom are not Jewish, please let it be said). Obviously, Jews choosing to live in Berlin (of all places, but who am I to pass judgment ?) therefore nowhere near the State of Israel should be punished because of Israeli actions. Thank you Chris. Your contribution is priceless. One question: prior to the creation of the State of Israel Europeans were shouting : Jews go to Palestine. Now Europeans chant alongside their Arab immigrants: Jews get out of Palestine and Palestine will be free from the river to the sea. Can you explain that in terms of anti-zionism and anti-semitism?
44. attacks
kristin ,   minnesota   (04.01.10)
White gentiles have dealt with the higher violent crime that non whites and third worlders bring to our countries for a very long time now. When we even dare to speak of such things we are labelled bigots and haters. Now there are a couple of incidents were jews are attacked and it is some kind of crisis. Maybe incidents like these will make jews and jewish organizations rethink their support and push for mass immigration in western lands? I won't hold my breath. All in all jews seem to either despise or fear white christians more than those who do attack them today.
45. A new twist on European anti-Semitism.
Danny M ,   Vancouver, Canada   (04.01.10)
Instead of attacking Jews themselves, Europeans just stand back and let Muslim immigrants do all the work while they walk away free of guilt. They aren't fooling anyone.
46. CHRIS USA#4- good post and points
USA ,   AMERICA   (04.01.10)
you are absolutely right. and STILL these talkbackers are calling you an anti semite LOL. go figure. you cant win if you critisize a person that happens to be a jew- BAM- you're an anti semite!!. LOLOLOL
47. Muslim Jew-Hatred in germany today
Samir S. Halabi ,   Geneve, Suisse.   (04.01.10)
A Palestinian academic Dr. Azzam Tamimione time president of the Islamic Society at Leeds University in the UK was interviewed on British TV stating that all Jews should get out of Israel and return to where they came from as Jews as a people don't exist. They should return to germany, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania and yes even the Yemen. So Jews should return to Yemen where today the few hundred that have still stayed on are now fleeing for their lives from Muslim murderers. In Germany today Arabs and Turks are hounding Jews. In Malmo Sweden, two decades ago there was around 1,500 jews today around 700 and reducing all the time as so many have again fled that city because of muslim attacks on the jewish community there, and the swedish authorities don't seem to be able or willing to protect them against the 60,000 muslims who live in that city. So what are the arabs talking about that jews should all leave israel and return to whence they came from, although the majority of jews in Israel the descendants of the jews whom either fled from the terror that was dished out to them in the arab world or were kicked out by the arabs who seqestrated all their property, froze all their bank accounts and stole much of their personal belongings such as Jewellery, precious stones etc. The muslim population in Europe today exceeds over 53,000,000 and growing all the time, the majority are Jew-Haters, so who wants to live in a europe where if those goverments are not careful for the future, Islam will reign supreme and force every non-muslim to convert or die, because this is what's going to happen if those stupid european leaders don't wake up and start fighting back by supporting Israel and not demonizing it as they have done.
48. Chris
AK   (04.01.10)
So, Chis, Jews make you hit them, don't they? Those terrible. terrible Jews.... hm...zionists, I mean. I wonder, Chris, what did the Jews do tto deserve the Holocaust? They must have done something terrible, like live, perhaps, back then to deserve your papa's hate. Today, you hate the Jews for having a country and surviving, just like the antiSemites before you did. But to feel virtuous in your hate, you must find the Jews guily. You are not original in your hate, but odious all the same.
49. Jew Get Out! - Go To Israel
Anon ,   Exile   (04.01.10)
Israel is where you belong. The rest of the Jewish people is there. Although "only" 43% of Jews in the world live in Israel, Israel is still the Jewish national homeland and is where you should want to live. (Whether it is possible or not for you is another question...)
50. to Chris (4)
tiki ,   belgium   (04.11.10)
"Ignorant and prejudised people like you are the disease of this world.".....If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about yourself, are you not? You and your 'buddy from Switzerland (3) deserve each other, you make a nice couple.
