1. Too funny..
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (07.01.10)
Apparently to the brains behind this report, everything occurs in a vacuum and is completely unrelated to everything else. Therefore, Gilad Shalit, rather than seen as a prisoner of war, becomes a poor innocent Israeli unconscionably abducted by those dastardly Palestinians. No mention of blockades, home demolitions, settlements or the fact that thousands of Palestinians languish in Israel prisons. No idea that Jewish knee-jerk support for Israeli actions would lead to a backlash with non-Jews questioning Jewish commitment to the rule of law and common notions of fair play and decency. Instead, the old hoary claim, believed by the overwheming majority of Israeli Jews, is trotted out for another airing. That Israel's actions and the overwhelming support for those actions by these Jewish organizations have nothing to do with each other. That criticism of Israel is 'antisemitic' at its core and therefore anyone deploring the actions of the 'Jewish' state is therefore 'anti-Jew' and their views must be suppressed. Grow up and face facts. Europeans are basically like the rest of world citizenry. They don't care about who you are (i.e. Jews) they care about and make judgments on your actions. And if those actions are deplorable, then criticism is appropriate. And if you support such deplorable actions, then you will be tarred wiith the same brush, and rightfully so.

David ,   Quito Ecaudor   (07.02.10)
I assume that the writer forgets who are perpetrating the antisemitic acts..

cristian ,   arg   (07.02.10)
the anxiety against the pacience the truth opposite to the lie serpent that guide the course of those who try to be still the one who learns to look that there is in his heart will know well that this one also can cheat his pride i slap the face of the humility and stop this one this way being so innocent jumping opposite to you it goes the irony with all our miseries above skulls that scream mad masks that even do not fall to hide his irgnorance is terrible what the man can do a love becomes in the ideal jail is ironic to think that it is true the victory it was to lose the defeat was to win to obtain for what you look it can be the worse thing in the tunnel of the love we returned to find it is ironic to think that it is true to the shore of the pain to the return of the peace we stop ourselves fucking jumping opposite to you it goes the irony with all our miseries above!
4. Taking your own line of reasoning,
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (07.02.10)
"Mikesailor", let's put things in context: Europeans were never antisemitic, the Catholic Church never committed atrocities and never taught Jew hatred, Shakespeare's Shylock did not represent Europeans' views of Jews, the plague was never blamed on the Jewish population and Pogoms in Poland never existed nor did the rounding up of Jews by their longtime neighbours at the behest of the invading Nazi war machine ever occur and Aushwitz, as well, is a fiction. So, right, significant antisemitism never existed in Europe, Mike, and anyone who believes that the current harsh attitude towards the Jewish population in the UK, France, Germany and Sweden, etc., has anything to do with antisemitism should be intellectually horsewhipped. And thanks, Mike, for your usual display of logic and clear thought. As an additional service, please let us all know what you've been researching lately and what you've been reading.
5. #3..a William Burroughs in the making
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.02.10)
How come YNET doesn't allow all my stuff get through....not fair!
6. Mikesailor-Your reasoning condones attacks on US citizens.
Jonny ,   SA   (07.02.10)
Wow Mikesailer, judging by your warped reasoning, you are one of the Americans who believe that 9/11 was indeed justified, and surely following on to your reasoning condone attacks against US citizens anywhere in the world.
7. #3 'the truth'
non-jew ,   England   (07.02.10)
WTF was all that about? Have you not heard about punctuation?
8. Antisemitism, WHAT antisemitism ?!
tom ,   tel aviv   (07.02.10)
To #1 Mike....whatever. well Mike I don't know how to put it gently but, you are a fine specimen of the diseased , degenerated Euro-mindset that you so valiantly defend and "explain". To prove you wrong would be like trying to win Goebbels over by showing him that jewish babies can be so cute, - like the rest of the human population. Well sir, we are not as cute and indeed belong to a much more improved version of Man. Go back to your woods& look for food or something.....
9. Europeans- you call it Euarbia?
Lisa   (07.02.10)
Those at the meeting also discussed ways for Europe to play a more positive role in the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. Well- really- when do we start? Is that before or after Israel citizens and politicians call Europeans ant-semites and Arab-lovers? You need help- you will get it when you play by the rules-, not when you make up your own rules.
10. Just Torah
Josh   (07.02.10)
But real Torah

12. Eurislam
Jay ,   USA   (07.02.10)
Europe has decided to trade in their productive, educated, professional and cooperative Jews for uneducated, violent and angry Muslims who refuse to assimilate are hell bent on turning Europe into an Islamic hotbed to be ruled by Sharia law. When a society displaces people who have reverence and respect for them, for another group who despises them and wants to kill or convert them, that society has doomed itself for failure. Europe has betrayed it’s Jews far too many times and all the Jews of European should pick up and leave for Israel as soon as they. They should never look back.
