make them change their mind. What insanity and waste of money.

Hopefully, his generosity will produce some positive results...although it smacks a just a bit too much of "Hope and change" to those of us who've tended to become somewhat cynical. Also, if he described himself as not being religious, why would he use so much of his money to build one of the "largest and most grandiose" synagogues in Ashkelon? Because while it's certainly his money to with as he wishes, perhaps a more modest synagogue would have given him more money to donate to what I'm sure must be much-needed projects in a city like Ashkelon. But, having said that, he's obviously a very generous man and he deserves a lot of credit for all of his efforts.

Once you remove your blindness you will actually discover that many muslims in this world have nothing against israel, many love israel but you only choose to speak of hatred...how very un-jewish of you!

Do it in a Muslim country and I fully support it. France hates Israel enough, no need to feed the hatred.

Too many mosques (including the one in my city) preach hatred of Jews and Israel.* Some are recruitment centers for terrorists. *Actually, all mosques preach hatred for Jews because it is written in the Koran.

I think this is wonderful. I am surprised by the talkbackers nastiness.

in saudi arabia?

Yahweh breaks into a huge rage whenever his chosen people flirted with a rival god. Joshua convened the elders and chiefs of the Israelites and exhorted them to have no fellowship with the native population because it could lead them to be unfaithful to God.

When was the last time Muslims opened their hands or their wallets for non-Muslims? Jews regularly give far beyond their numbers to non-Jewish charities. Zaqat, in contrast, is intended for other Muslims. That's not surprising. Jews, after all, insist that we're all descended from Noah, all - like Adam - made in the image of God. Muslims, in contrast, divide the world into believers and non-believers. The US fought wars on behalf of Kuwait, Bosnia and Kossovo, yet they're accused of being "at war with Islam". The US and its Western allies provide most of the aid to Palestinians (Arabs give little), but there's no appreciation. Palestinians treat it like it's their due - a form of jiziya. Has this mosque *ever* stood up for Jews or for Israel? Harush thinks his generosity will result in more mutual understanding and respect. History suggests otherwise.

Actually, countries like Morocco, Tunesia and Egypt protect Jewish religious/heritage sites (mikves, synagogues) at their own expense and Jewish schools and synagogues in Morocco receive government subsidies. Robert, your information seems to come books and the media. Meet some Arab Muslims or come to the region. Nothing is that black and white.

This news is fake a fake news. how is Mr Robert Harush, or Haroush ?. This man dont exist. I think. And what mosque,, ? wher in Motereau ? ho said for Ynet that he will built a mosque ? wher is your surce ? all the news is about him but nothing is about the mosque,.. Motereau is in France, but why ther is a picture of a mosque in Geneva with the article...Bye Ynet , I think you need to learn journalism yet.

Not religious, true but also illiterate? read the Qurahn and learn what a mistake is to promote Islam.

BBBUUUTTTT if i am wrong .. remember those Facts .. .. Muslims and Jews co-existed for centuries .. when we lost in spain ..jews in spain refused to stay to be murdered ..they left with us to Moroco,tunisia and Turkey (istanbul ) ..they know very well that we consider them people of the book . we were doing fine together until MR Hirtzel decided to stab us in the Back ..and created the zionist Movement .. as long as you separate apples and oranges (judaism and zionism ) ,expect reciprocal exchange ... and finally .. the jews need to remember that during the 1300 years of Islamic ruling from china to spain ...we built( or allowed the building of ) a lot of synagogues . never destroyed a single one ..i dare you to prove O/W . however ,Israel in 1948 ,destroyed 400 villages (not only Mosques ) .. anyway ..if this is true ...it is a step in the right direction (a step ).

who just spews bullshit from the comfort of her LA home. In fact, years ago, they ran her fat ass out of town when she wouldn't stop spewing hate from her rinky dink cell phone shop. She's a pathetic moron.

No better way to support co-existance in Israel than investing in industrial and realstate projects in Nazareth. Beside coexistance it create jobs and supports israeli economy

the benefits from you like mosque renovation, healthcare, world class education, welfare checks, etc. However, they will be swept by hate anyway regardless what you do or don't do for them.

Hey, you cannot change who they are regardless how hard you try. It is fixed. Even Abhaham severed his ties with Ismael.

Jews behave the way this Harush guy does all the time. Big deal.

building mosques in Europe. Enjoy dhimmitude in your own countries Europeans!

If you want to see Muslims restoring synagogue then you'll be surprised if you check this link! and yes! this is in Beirut! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8494183.stm http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/news/restoration-of-lebanon-synagogue-in-danger-despite-rare-hezbollah-support-1.257775

For centuries the Jew wandered from one land to another. A man with no shadow, considered a non-person by Islam and others and now we have one giving to the enemies of all that is good. Why not help feed the poor of Israel first. In the USA we are blessed with those who build the houses for our enemies and mock the blood of the fallen. How much further can we descend? The land has become our shadow.

Ygalg, Islam doesn't have hate against jews, jews are a people of the Book, God's book, and islam respects jews, God loving jews, not jews who hate anything not jewish! You mix things up in your mind, and media fills your hearts with hatred. You have to read more my dear, try to understand what islam is all about, and NO it is not about blowing up yourself in a restaurant! These suicidal idiots are anything but muslims... Leo from the USA, you ask me to prove it, well go to arabsforisrael.com . .. there are many other examples out there, a small research will do wonders for you, just learn to stay away from hatred, you want another example of arabs who have nothing against israel, it's YOURS TRUELY!

I am aware of arabforisrael.com. Unfortunately it looks like these people are the exception rather than the rule. If I understood correctly your claim was related to mainstream Islam and that is why I replied with my "prove it". BTW, I have nothing against Muslims or anybody else for that matter. I am only against people who want me dead. Unfortunately (again) my current impression is that majority of Muslims do hate Jews or at very least are silent against extreme minority.

That's what I call a good person, I wish we all open up to the arabs. After all we arabs. May be we don't like to be called arab jews. but we arabs. It's time to stay away from zionism and abolish it. It only brought death and mesery to all of us. We've become the most hated people on this earth from Japan to America. This is a good start.
