61. ABOUT AS WELCOME AS A PORK
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (04.15.10)
As welcome as a Pork Chop in a Synagogue.
62. PERSONA NON GRATA
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (04.15.10)
Which of these 3 words does Goldstone not understand?
63. LET HIM SAHRE A ROOM WITH ANAT KAM!
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (04.15.10)
64. not punishment enough
Mark ,   new york   (04.15.10)
Goldstone allowed himself to be used as a propaganda tool. If he were a lesser educated man I would feed sorry for him. He allowed his Jewish name to be used as a rubber stamp on a document that blamed Israel for all the ills of the middle east. The Goldstone report has contributed to anti semitic attacks around the world. Being banished from his grandson's bar mitzvah is the least he deserves!
65. If I were his grandson
Elisabeth ,   Amsterdam   (04.15.10)
I would tell the congregation to go to hell. Or is a Bar Mitsvah a ceremony meant to install cowardice and conformism?
66. To: No. 65
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.15.10)
A bar mitzvah turns a boy into a man. Judge Goldstone is a mouse who caved in to Arab pressure and an ego that needs attention.. Not a good role model, wouldn't you agree? I'm with his grandson's parents. I wouldn't want him there, either.
67. To: No. 59
(04.15.10)
Watch your mouth, sir. How many Catholics have Jews burned at the stake? That's right. Zero. None. Zip. Zilch. Don't you wish YOU could say the same? Oh -- and by the way -- Jews did not issue passports to wanted Nazi war criminals to enable them to escape to South America. The Catholic Church did -- courtesy of Pope not-so-Pius and his Croatian toadies. Keep your Roman Catholic sentiments to yourself. They carry no moral force. You are responsible for more reprehensible acts of violence than you probably realize.
68. Good decision of the SA community !
(04.15.10)
69. #62
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (04.15.10)
May be we can do something constructive? I love your comments!
70. Security issues, not personal (or not entirely)
rebecca ,   Modiin, ex SA.   (04.15.10)
Having lived in South Africa, and helped with security, Goldstone arriving would be a huge security issue for any Shul. He is now well known and very controversial, in both Jewish and Muslim circles. And that's not even taking the shul members feelings into account.
71. Beginning of a trend?
Loyal Jew ,   Efrat   (04.15.10)
should be applied to everyone who sells out the Jewish people, like "Avi" and the quisling of hasbara, "Naftush"
72. Goldstone
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.15.10)
Kol HaKavod.! Good for them.
73. Goldstone wont investigate 3100+ White SA Farmers murdered
Alan ,   SA   (04.15.10)
since 1994 Democratic Election ... Cast Lead,he says, claimed 1300 Gazans killed .I think round 900 of these were Terrorists The 3100 White SA Farmers were ordinary Farmers,producing food for the entire SA Population . I have seen photos of how cruelly they were murdered . Men Women and Children suprised and martyred in their Homesteads for no reason . If I had to write what was done to kill them and how their bodies were desecrated,it would shock readers to the core Let Goldy enquire into his fellow SA Countrymens' deaths before favourably adjudicating the lies of Hamas.
74. Goldstone set out to prove that
(04.15.10)
Israel had committed war crimes, not find out if it had. He deliberately disregarded any information that it hadn't, including photographs. He wrote down word for word what Hamas dictated and called it "findings." In all honesty I cannot imagine what would make anyone, Christian or Jew, tell such outrageous lies, unless of course he was well paid to do so. Has he ever looked the truth in the face? I wonder. Israel is surrounded by Arab countries and Iranian-supported terrorist organizations who plot day and night to kill me, my children and my grandchildren, and to take my country away from me. 8000 rockets and mortar shells targeting civilians over the year, each of which is both a war crime and an act of war, and Goldstone goes after the Jews. You really have to ask why.
75. Goldy,more White SA Farmers killed than on 9/11
(04.15.10)
76. #69 ANY TIME, MY LOVE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (04.15.10)
I am up for something constructive ,visit me at Ari Ashkenazi synagogue in Safed (Tsfat).
77. If Goldstone had been an Arab who wrote about Arab crimes
Lurker ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.16.10)
...there would be a fatwa on his head, and he'd probably be dead already.
78. That "most humane army in the world" nonsense again, #5?
Cameron ,   USA   (04.16.10)
What a ridiculous sample of super-inflated egoism that is. I have to smile, and roll my eyes every time I come across that tripe on YNET. Man, get over yourselves.
79. Pathetic
Anthony ,   Cape Town   (04.16.10)
For a moment, consider the possibility that Judget Richard Goldstone's report is 100% correct. Persectuting an individual for doing his job and telling the truth is rather pathetic. Israel definitely has blood on its hands, as would any country in war - facts are facts.
80. Zionist arrogance and bullying
Kim ,   Australia   (04.18.10)
The typical response from the Zionists here applauding the decision just once again displays the Zionists have nothing on their side except bullying and arrogance. They certainly don't have the truth because as Malcom X once said, "the true is on the side of the oppressed" (which is in this instance, the Palestinians suffering under Israel's oppressive occupation). What the Zionists posting here (or supporting this treatment of Goldstone) don't get in their "righteous arrogance" is that this type of behaviour is insular and wins them no sympathy or support because they are revealed for exactly what they are - arrogant little bullies.
81. Are Zionists really bullys or victims?
Steve ,   JHB, South Africa   (04.18.10)
Think you got it wrong Kim #80 & Anthony #79.The Zionists are the victims of guys like you who will jump to conclusions without researching the facts! e.g. The South African Zionist Federation did not ban the judge at all! In fact if you check out the facts they actually have no jurisdiction over synagogues in SA. The article also says clearly (read before getting into an anti-semitic frenzy) that the information comes from 'writers blog" It does not claim to verify that infact a ban took place! You & Anthony & the Judge all need to realise that Jew haters are inspired so quickly to villify Israel. This is why it is impossible to criticize Israel objectively! If 'truly' free thinking people will drain out the bias then it will become possible for Israel & her friends to highlight mistakes & correct them! Democratically & fairly where they may take place!
