1. Israel - built on the rubble of Arab villages
Katherine ,   Australia   (04.19.10)
Congratulations Israel--you were built on the rubble of Arab towns and villages and on the backs of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs you expelled from the lands who now live scattered as refugees. You replaced one nation with another. You exchanged one diaspora for another. Now you seek to ethnically-cleanse E. Jerusalem of its Arabs and take what little land the Palestinians have left in the West Bank. Job well done! Happy birthday!!
2. Bibi's speech
Israel   (04.19.10)
"The other miracle is building: What we have built in this land since the State of Israel's inception. Israel is quickly becoming a regional economic superpower and a global technological superpower. In this world of knowledge in the 21st century our possibilities are endless: In science, medicine, technology and art. In each and every field, the forces of genius within our nation break out and create a magnificent country" And that is EXACTLY why everyone hates us. Because we excel in so many fields and contribute so much to so many fields. We are a strong nation, a determined nation and a proud nation. Good bless Israel.

....native Aborigines hello for me.
9. #1 Thanks for the birthday wishes
Talula ,   Israel   (04.19.10)
I'm sure the native Aborigines don't celebrate Australia's birthday either. After all, what is there to celebrate. Their land was stolen, they were murdered and their children stolen and put into homes and raised as farm hands and cheap labour. Surely you remember 'the Aborigine problem' Or not, considering they were striped of their citizenship. At least Arabs living in Israel have health care and jobs. Yep! you sure do have a country with a beautiful pure and clean past. You complete and utter RETARD! Piss off!
10. #4 FADY!!!! how lovely - THANK YOU!!!!!! : )

11. #1 and all the other Jew-haters with strong and totally
Jrodstein ,   Basalt, Colorado   (04.19.10)
ignorant opinions like matty groves,bsnews,eporue,europe,Michael Hess , Charlotte and all the others. People hate Jews because they hate themselves. They hate the part of themselves that is unique and that will not submit to domination. They hate that they must be responsible for creating their own lives and succeeding and failing on their own merits. Thus they concoct the fantasy of the all-powerful Jews who are responsible for keeping them down. All of these tendencies must be confronted and fought whenever encountered.

14. To Talkback No. 1 (you fascist, racist pig)
Reuven Benthall ,   Jerusalem   (04.19.10)
Although it is beneath my dignity to respond to you and your unsubstantiated fascist ranting, I need to correct your misguided, idiosyncratic and racist ‘interpretation’ of history. First, it was not we who built on the “rubble of the Palestinians” but rather they (primarily Syrian, Jordanian and Egyptian Arabs who, since WWI joined a minority of Saudi Arabians who first invaded Israel in 636 AC under Abu Bakr, Umar ibn Khattab and Khalid ibn al Walid) who illegally built on Jewish rubble after illegally settling in our land. Second, we did not expel the this local Arab population in the late 1940s, but rather it was they who left for reasons that are well documented by the (illegal) British Mandatory Government of Palestine, the United Nations as well as by local and neighboring Arabs themselves; if you wish (??!!!) I will send you numerous references. Third, it was Arab countries who, in actuality, expelled hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab countries (many of whom had lived in those countries centuries before the Muslim invasions); and if you wish (??!!!), here too I can send you Jewish as well as Arab and foreign references that document this horrific ethnic cleansing. You should simply read rather than attempt to fascistically re-write history! A good place for you to start as an “Australian” would be with the illegal invasion, settlement and ethnic cleansing of the original Aboriginal population! We, the Jews, are ‘the original Aboriginal population’ of the Land of Israel! An early Happy Birthday to you too (you racist pig)!
15. to #1 Congratulations you're a true ignorant
(04.19.10)
Why bother checking the facts when chanting false slogans is so much easier. The first zionists came to a vastly unpopulated, barren land under Turkish rule. If you really think that the jews came to a flourishing land and chased away the poor Arabs, you don't know anything about the history of the place. It's only when the Arabs that realized that the jews are coming in large numbers and are planning to establish a state (something which they, the Arabs, for some reason didn't bother doing themselves before the jews came), that THEY started fighting the jews. And a war is a war. The Arabs killed and massacred jews whenever and wherever they could. Unfortunately for them we were stronger. And WE'RE NOT SORRY WE SURVIVED. Here's a quote from Mark Twain's tour in the holy land in 1867. Notice how populated and flourishing the land was: “….. A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds… a silent mournful expanse…. a desolation…. we never saw a human being on the whole route…. hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.” And a few links for you to broaden your horizons and get some education: http://zionismandisrael.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/mark-twain-in-the-holy-land/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadassah_medical_convoy_massacre
16. Katherine, are you that clueless?
Eyal ,   USA   (04.19.10)
Where do you get your history and facts exactly, from the Persian Press or is it the Palestinian bugle? The backs of Arabs you say? What about the backs of the Jews who lived in the villages the Arabs stole from the Jews after they were expelled? Did you know that Jews lived on the same land for over 3,000 years? If you don't agree with the facts that Jews lived in Israel before the Arabs and for over 3,000 years, than you are as dumb as you sound, unless you are a typical Arab woman named Fitna, which will explain the stupidity much better.

24. To (#1). Austrialia-Built on rubble of Aboriginal villages
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (04.19.10)
Thank you, Mommy. That was a good story. Can you please tell us another bed-time fairy tale? We especially like the one about how the Jews drink the blood of Arab babies. Or, perhaps, the one about how those bad, smelly Jews own all the banks, and cause all the trouble in the world. Read a history book, idiot!!
25. What 62 years? wait till the next 38 years if ..
Waqet   (04.19.10)
26. #1 Katherine- nice Christian name!
Lisa   (04.19.10)
dear Katherine- I am assuming you are a Christian of sorts? Your ignorance is painful- The Jews were, in what is now Israel, before the birth of Christ- ever put two and two together? So where do you get your brilliant ideas? I hate to make fun of people who have a screw loose, but you take the cake- go read, or annoy someone else- . You are an embarrassment to Australia - shame on you!
