2. Gaza mission activist: It's just like facing Nazis
Yonatan ,   jerusalem   (05.26.10)
destroy all shipping ports in gaza now
3. Vangelis Pissias talks just like a Nazi
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.26.10)
Wow, sounds like this guy is a graduate of the Goebbels School of Propaganda. I guess they had a quota of Greek marxist-leninists that they had to fill, and Vangelis Pissias was only too willing to sign up. Vangelis Pissias sounds like any other racist human rights abuser. He ignores Amnesty Intl, Human Rights Watch and even Goldstone, who all concluded that Palestinians commit war crimes. No doubt Vangelis Pissias will take the following quote from Goldstone, and say that it was fabricated by the zionists. However, it's a direct quote: "... the report contains the clearest finding that Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups committed serious war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity. The acceptance of those findings by the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly has been ignored completely..." Richard Goldstone, Interviewed by Ha'aretz, Nov 13 2009
4. Didn't Greece hand over all its Jews to the Nazis?
William ,   Israel   (05.26.10)
And I don't recall the Jews or those being attacked by the Nazis of ever working to destroy Germany or firing rockets on to their civilians. To equate their Gaza mission as a "righteous" act akin to resisting the Nazis is really - again - more Leftist lingo used in a poor context. Greeks might have fought against the Nazis, but focused on their own selfish gain....and their economy imploding because of the selfish nature of their welfare population is pretty much poetic justice.
5. Greek professor refuses to condemn Arab terrorism
William ,   Israel   (05.26.10)
""These people are doing what reality causes them to do," The reality was different in Gaza before 2007 but it didn't stop Hamas from sending rockets into civilian centers all of that time. If this professor really cares about human rights, then he must become non-racist and believe everyone deserves the same rights. His discrimination policy just eliminates his credibility as anything other than a "talking head". "The Palestinians have the same feelings, they are under attackā€¦and they're fighting for it for lack of other choice." Actually, they do. One very simple thing. Accept Israel as their neighbor and work towards coexistence. In actuality, they refuse to do anything less than destroy Israel totally, ethnically cleansing ALL Jews. They have many options to stop this war, yet they refuse to.
6. The Greek professor is an Antisemite...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.26.10)
and the leftist idiots on the ships are equally bad as he... We are tired of the so called leftist, they should be called what they really are: Antisemites... The Nazis would have liked them a lot...
7. Unbelievable!
Zeroing ,   Germany   (05.26.10)
These activitists are pro Islamists bolsheviks and are a joke to the real people in need of aids like those in daffour Sudan and Easten Congo. Their only goal is to embarrass Jews in Israel. What on earth are the greeks doing on board those ships? Greece is bankrupt like a church mouse and is living on money from Germany but a bolshevik greek professor brings the so called help to Gaza. What for an irony of the story?
8. I'm not an antisemite, some of my best friends are jewish...
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (05.26.10)
how many times have I heard that?
9. Oh, Puh-leez.... Had they run into Nazis
Israelit ,   Israel   (05.26.10)
They wouldn't flap their lips now, they'd be fish food. Morons.
10. Greece, EU : Crisis due to hostility against Israel !
Jaacov Baumann   (05.26.10)
''He who curses Israel will be cursed !'' This sais the G'd of Israel ! Fighting the one and only G'd never was a smart idea ! Israel, dont fear - your guardian never sleeps nor slumbers !
11. Pissias should piss off back to Greece &
mongo ,   paris   (05.26.10)
find a real job for once in his sad excuse for a life!
12. Why the coverup over Australia expelling an Israeli?
Gerry ,   Los Angeles USA   (05.26.10)
The price for the botched hit keeps getting higher
13. 200 Fatah members fled to Israel from Hamas. Nazi who?
Yaniv ,   Israel   (05.26.10)
14. End the nonsense, sink the ship
Danny   (05.26.10)
15. Palestinian cousins
zichron   (05.26.10)
The activists must help women and children as well and not only with food. Books on the holocaust the nazi starvation of greece and the near destruction of greek jewry by nazism must be added en masse .
16. Israel spawned Hamas.US suprvised election legitmized it
lydia ,   Brisbane   (05.26.10)
Israel signed the Geneva convention in 1949 The Arabs have a legitimate right to regain by war, land occupied illegally, particularly if UN charters have failed.
17. sink this ship
smith   (05.26.10)
18. "Professor"-Greeks were collaborators fighting for Hitler
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (05.26.10)
Its not too surprising this self-styled Greek "professor" refuses to condemn Palestinian terrorism against israeli civilians. Greek aid against the Nazis??? My tuchas!!Greece was a collaborator state that fought for Hitler and turned its Jews over to the Nazis. That is, the few that remained after fiercely anti-semitic Greeks drove most out after gaining independence from Ottomans after WW1. Greece declared war on Germany 2 days before WW2 ended, just like the Swedes. All the more reason Israel should use force to prevent the bastards of this flotilla from reaching Gaza with concrete and other war material for Hamas. Greeks have been enemies of the Jews since Hannuka miracle 2200 years ago.
19. Godwin's Law - The Predictable Left
Dallas ,   Canada   (05.26.10)
Godwin's Law refers to the predictability of discussions to compare the opponent to Nazism or Hitler. It didn't take these jihadists long to sink to the analogy. As Caroline Glick's great article explains, the apologists for terror have inverted values and taken over the language - the values of human rights, democracy,and moral societies have been twisted into the characteristics of tyrannies! The loud and insane minority is getting way too much press. The rest of us (the too-silent majority) just have to roll up our sleeves and bravely keep debunking the convoluted beliefs of these misguided and deceived souls. At every turn we must call them on the way they try to turn victims into oppressors and tyrants into the oppressed.
20. bronitsky@bronitskyandassociates.com
Gordon Bronitsky ,   USA   (05.26.10)
And like many on the left, he is ultimately very patronizing to Palestinians, making them passive victims rather than active actors--Israelis act but Palestinians only do what their situation forces them to do. It denies humanity to both sides
21. #1
bibi ,   USA   (05.26.10)

22. Prof. Never Helped Anyone
Rich ,   Miami   (05.26.10)
Love to see proof that the Prof. ever helped anyone in WWII. He is just your typical left wing anti-Jewish. Show me a picture of him and his "Jewish friends". Who, Richard Goldstone? Noam Chomsky?
23. "Selective" human rights activist..
Paul ,   USA   (05.26.10)
As a " professor ", he should know better. More leftist lies.

30. PR failure
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.26.10)
These statements are the result of a complete failure of Israeli PR. If they can compare their actions to the Greek patriots of WWII, we have failed to explain our reasoning in a convincing manner.
