Good way to fight quislings - KHEREM.

Read the article carefully, it has nothing with "different view". Goldstone was paid to knowingly publish a false report to defame Israel. He knew that nothing he wrote had anything to do with reality, but a man has to make a living. He probably did not expect it to be such a "success" as to constitute incitement to genocide of the Jews. The Jews of SA even suffered attacks and abuse thanks to him. Next you will be surprised that Mandela never invited Eugene Terreblanche to tea because of a "different view".

Let's be clear: Goldstone is a spineless, ambitious man who is only too pleased to conform his thinking to that of the bien-pensant London class to which he aspires. That said, I am very saddened by this. A grandfather should always be able to attend his grandson's bar mitzvah, and a grandson should always be able to have his grandfather there. Judge Goldstone is a millstone around the family's neck, but he is their millstone. The family ought to switch the bar mitzvah away from their synagogue to a small, private affair so that the family can be accommodated. Let them then celebrate separately with the community in whose eye the grandfather, to the family's great regret, has spit.

Easily the most prominent target of Islamic nuclear terrorism.

I think he should reconsider, because that would make for one hell of a scene... Too bad we'll have to ruin his son's bar mitzvah, aval ma leasot? So be ready Israel, this summer, coming to the Kotel near you -- Rahm Emmanuel, the horse whisperer in Obama's ear telling him to break Israel's will to honor his leftist parents...

Let me me remind you Esther that you have just noted your ignorance to all by writing what you did. The majority of SA citizens are not carcasian and therefore they would definitley not be upset bt ET's passing. Neither would most Jews as he was a Nazi and white supremisist. South Africa is a wonderful country that has one of the best and most pro-Zionist Jews in the world. You shouldn't make comments about things you know nothing about.

B'ezrat Ha'Shem.

I respectfully disagree. Judge Goldstone's report was an uneven, unbalanced package of lies that has damaged Israel considerably. Judge Goldstone was a force for good during the days of apartheid. I guess he missed being in the limelight and at the ramparts, so to speak, so he took the opportunity to become -- literally -- a household name by villifying Israel falsely. He is no Jew, and has no role to play in the bar mitzvah of his grandson. I gather the child's parents don't mind, either.

It's not a private party. The community has spoken. If they wanted their own private affair they should have arranged one.

Spinoza had been banned from his synagogue, not excommunicated or "excluded from our religion". We have no clergy or pope who can excommunicate, don't confuse with catholics. It was a local (regrettable) decision. To be jewish is more like a citizenship than to be member of a "religion" (from "religare" - "relier"). Jews are just members of the one and unique jewish nation, and Spinoza is/was still a member of this nation, as well as the unfortunate Goldstone.

Esther, don't be naive! Have you been to South Africa? Have you seen thank G-d what a thriving Jewish community there is in South Africa, that 95% of Jews went to a pesach seder, that 90% fast on Yom Kippur, far more than the USA I would imagine. Don't say things about a country if you do not have the evidence to back it up. Those people who supported Eugene Terreblanche are such a small minority, most people in the country found him to be a racist and most of the country, yes including the Jewish population as well as the majority of white and black people support the current governement, so Esther please think before saying something!

If Goldstone was an Arab he would be executed for collaborating with the enemy (see article in today's YNET)

"...and the bar-mitzvah boy's family concluded that the judge will be banned from attending the event". How difficult to understand ths his family (goldstone's) don't want him there?

You are totally ignorant! "they" can"t ban. Accoding to Jewish law, every jew can be buried in Israel, even Goldstone,even you (if proved)

to go to a Bar Mitzvah ? He's desperately needed on the world scene, to locate those "phantom" scud missles, that Syria is sending to Hezbollah !

Your reading comprehension is terrible. The traitor was banned from a South African synagogue in Africa. Israel is in Asia. Look at the map, if you do not believe me. If you can read that is.01

According to the anti-semites and extreme leftists only applies to Jews that hate Israel. What about the members of the Sandton synagogue and their freedom of religion? Oh wait they don't any rights do they? Well guess what stupid they do too. They built and maintain that synagogue not Goldblather and the leftists.

I feel sorry for the kid who has to suffer because of his stupid grandfather. However, this is what Goldstone should have expected. I would not sit in a shul with him and I am sure most Jews feel that way. He has put himself in herem.

HE DID GOOD JOB FOR GAZA. BUT ! MAYBE IT IS A PLANNED DEEP TACTICAL WORK BY DEEP STATE OF ISRAEL ON BEHALF OF TODAYS ISRAELI POLITICS. I PREFER TO DOUBT ABOUT HIS WORK. BUT I LIKE TO THANK HIM IF HE IS AS SEEN. *** HE IS DEPORTED FROM THE PLACE ! NO PROBLEM. HE HAS SO BIG PLACES IN COUNTLESS HEARTS TODAY BECAUSE OF THE REPORT. *** :)

farmers who were killed by blacks in SA.South Africa will be like the rest of Africa in the next 10 years.Goldstone take your UN and check it out.We in Israel are very unhappy with you.

Oy vey! If you dont have a conscience, are you unconscious? or just plain dead to the truth?

He should stop shaving and wrap a cloth around his head and wear a long white cotton dress (but no high heels!)

One day we will all know, when we question him about how he has 10 million dollars in his Swiss bank account?

Let him know our Kehilla DONT want him near us!
