1. if I would have done it you would call me anti semetic
ghostq   (04.12.10)
but my guess is that lefties taint the memory of the dead to political gain, the lefties makes me sick. this is not the time or place for political agenda. show respect to the people who lost their lives, and that includs non jews.
2. sick leftists
yoni ,   tel aviv   (04.12.10)
cant believe the leftist liberals millions are slaughtered and they compare this to the druzim and ethipim insanity
3. Human Rights ...
Vincent Perret ,   Switzerland   (04.12.10)
Gays Lesbians and mentally ill have been victims of the Nazi propaganda as well. Stop discrimination and supremacism! Full stop!
4. I feel ashamed that they are right.
Josh   (04.12.10)
Like the ship that went to the united states for refuge and was sent back to Germany, so too imigrants and converts that embrace one G-d and Torah are isolated and persecuted and pushed back towards the soul consuming fires of paganism and disporah by a number of selfish egotistical and racists Israeli natives guided by protecia cults. I don't feel unrighteous persecution deserved no less than comparison to the same form of evil Nazi's did. Evil is evil. Unfair social isolation is no different if it is a socialist German, a secular Israeli forced by cult protecia or a dati following their perception of Rabbinic false additions. I am not saying that all the names on these stars belong there because the difference between righteous discrimination and unrighteous discrimination is great. A person who wants to anihilate choose life Jews and Torah should be discriminated againts The Hospitality of Abraham and the righteousness of Torah laws (not false additions) need to be our heading as a nation.
5. Tel Aviv
Airborne ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.10)
Tel Aviv Municipality reported in response: "The municipality is investigating the issue. If necessary, the patches will be removed." So what does the municipality define as necessary and NOT necessary. They could theoretically leave up the stars. Typical beaurocrats.
6. Didn't see one: "settlers"
Z Lando ,   Tekoa, Israel   (04.12.10)
Of course not... the left has always said, in Orwell's words: ".. all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."
7. Yawn - another day in TA, more leftist, moral equivalency BS
Willy Berkowitz ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.12.10)
8. Lefties always comparing homosexuals to Jews
Avi ,   Geneva   (04.12.10)
They cannot understand the moral difference between sexual perversion and religious specificity. As a Jew, I always feel insulted by such comparisons.
9. I guess illegal tapping, tracking, isolation, intimidation.
Anon   (04.12.10)
I guess illegal tapping, tracking, isolation, hacking, intimidation and provocation could not be considered a pogram on Jewish people because they are not native Jewish or datim, could it? You started it, yes? This whole isolation bit? Don't say one problem is not the problem causing the other. Security is one thing and racism is a completely other. If you tracked an honest and good Jewish person with GPS, I hope they drive past your house everyday untill you remove the illegal tracking device or go mad in fear. Of course none of the ones particpating in the pograms will admit that they instigated and continue to instigate retaliation and self defense responses by the victims. A dozen will attack a jewish imigrant and then the immigrant, he will go to the police who do little if nothing at all because the victim is not from a "good native family", and then the victim carries a knife for self defense. Who's fault is it the immigrant fights for his life? We should stop the harrassment of converts, immigrants, and others and this type of star demonstration wouldn't be such a wake up call, would it. Pograms are pograms no matter what selfish native motives are used to explain it away. Oh you claim you are an expert on telling who is Jewish and deserving to follow Torah and G-d? Good luck with that one when your soul is on trial in the eyes of G-d and Moses who said "For you were Gerim in Mitzraim" and to remember this as not to persecute others as Egypt did to us. Same story, same warning, different era.
10. #6 They got their orange ribbons...
Josh   (04.12.10)
...even from a persecuted Jewish convert like me, they got support. It is a shame that our country would support creation of a new nation where Jews are not allowed, but they tore down the homes and ousted their own. My tax shekels paid for that and support those who discriminate unrighteously causing such a demonstration. Reflection is needed but not in some Pallywood leftist enemy supporting camp but right here and now by you, me, the rabbis and the secular natives of the proteccia cult.
11. mental disorder
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.12.10)
While the enemies of Israel threaten another holocaust and anti-semitism is on the rise across the globe the mentally challenged of Israel find every opportunity to join their compatriots in assaulting Israel and fellow Jews. They want their hero Amdinejad to know that they are with him and work tirelessly for his agenda in the heart of Israel. Like a sick body attacking it's own cells,the new kapo's are loyal to everyone but the nation of Israel.
12. What has happened to Israeli Education???
Rosie   (04.12.10)
It is shocking that the youth of Israel are becoming great enemies of their own land. How sad. Hiltler killed Gays and anyone and everyone that was not of his Aryan race. There is something wrong with Israel's EDUCATION. The liberals put in their destructive agenda. It has not made the young and smarter. They only have mastered how to assistant the Radical Islam cause. How sad??? The Minister of Educations needs to impose a new curriculum in ALL of Israel.
13. don't get it
(04.12.10)
Women are "Jews"? The leader of the largest political party and the head of the High Court are women. I don't remember Jews in such positions in Nazi Germany. Gays are "Jews"? I don't remember Jews marching in the streets of Berlin during the Nazi regime.
14. Interesting....
Hadassah. ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.10)
I find it interesting that included in the list are many of the groups that Hitler also annihilated in his murder of the 6 million Gentiles. ... It is important to remember ALL who were butchered....
15. Trivializing the events of the Holocaust is a leftist phenom
Yaniv ,   Israel   (04.12.10)
In the spring of 1944, 12 000 Hungarian Jews were transported DAILY to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Tell me again you leftist loonies how this has any relation to Israeli minorities?
16. YET BLACK SUDANESE MUSLIMS RISK LIFE AND LIMB TO COME HERE!
Yaniv ,   Israel   (04.12.10)
17. I am more right wing and I think this is interesting
Israeli   (04.12.10)
why is the Holocaust always untouchable? This country has alot of bigotry and pointing it out through symbols provokes thoughts. I dont think you can compare the Holocaust with any other tragedy but a symbol used by Nazis as well as Iranians in the past, gets me thinking about assumptions.
18. From a Holocaust survivor
Meir ,   Israel   (04.12.10)
I personally find these signs to be disgraceful to the memory of both my parents and sister who were forced to wear those Jewish stars and murdered by the nazis, as well as the other 6 million souls who were victims of the Germans. Putting these up on display on Yom Hashoah shows your pathetic lack of Jewish identity, as well as lack of sensitivity. Whoever put these up should be ashamed of themselves! Completely ashamed! Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany! Save that for Ahmadinejad. Chutzpah!
19. But incinerating children with white phospherous is OK
Simon ,   USA   (04.13.10)
and a good way to honor the 5.5 million Jews who perish in the Nazi Holocaust,... not to mention the 5.5 million other irrelevant whatevers who died. It would be anti-Semitic to mention the others.
