"Every time someone criticizes Israel, immediately he is branded as an antisemite" "Ever stopped to wonder maybe the world hates you because of your actions?" "No amount of PR and spin efforts could cover for your war crimes against helpless Palestinians" "You have been deemed criminals in countless UN resolutions, and you wonder why the world hates you?" "Israel will soon be a pariah state, the BDS movement is growing" etc, etc... Antisemites often love to resort to such catchy, easy-to-remember, yet totatlly empty slogans instead of tackling actual facts. The biggest challenge therefore is to make the people of the world THINK instead of being blindly spoon-fed doctored news by affected sources.

As a christian (distant Jewish ancestry) I am amazed at anti-Semitism in the church and western society. G-d's focus Israel is quickly forgotten as many allow the sick neo-communists to spread their poison. Leftist love peace/mankind rhetoric is crudely balanced with the clear identification of the "enemy racist Jew". Same hate but now with the botox of pro-Hamas compassion. True christians must follow G-d and support Israel. I truly believe if people want to support Hamas etc they should leave their western comforts and freedoms and go join them. forever. These latte sipping freedom warriors would'nt last as long as their most recent shopping trip.

There's also a new article dealing with the causes and remedies of this cancer, based on the classic Oxford historian, James Parkes' authoritative dissertation (The Conflict of the Church and the Synagogue, a Study in the Origins of Antisemitism) as well as a number of my own published books, in the Web Cafe at www.netzarim.co.il

First let us understand that all Jews are hated because of who and what we are and that we were chosen by God above all others to deliver HIs message. That hatred will never abate. Israel is hated because we dither back & forth about peace, a peace that will never come. It is time to make a declarative statement to the Arabs and the world that it is evident that the Palestinians only want the destruction of Israel and despite the many and self-destructive concessions Israel has made, the Palestinians have made none and have always walked away from peace. They could not even make the simple statement that Israel is a Jewish nation citing concern for Arab citizens yet unconcerned with the fate and lives of Christian Palestinians nor made any condemnation of Jews being driven from Arab countries. By virtue of Israel winning 5 wars waged against us, It is time to declare the West Bank part of greater Israel and Jerusalem our UNDIVIDED eternal Capitol now restored to us. The Palestinians may return to their ancestral homeland of Jordan and we then we can have peace.

All those 'haters are just annoyed, that 'despite all the efforts over the centuries, Israel and the Jews are still here, alive and kicking, growing and prospering, but.....it should be a lesson not to be 'naive and nice for the purpose of being 'liked or to 'please the World. Better be hated and strong. You don't die from being hated, you die from being weak.

Daniel Pipes hates Palestinians and Muslims, he hates for hate without reason ! he is not a qualified man to give the world lessons about hatred !!

The question is who is the driving force behind the Jew hatred. Would Obama be so preoccupied with his Jew-hatred without Rahm Emanuel? Would "Cast Lead" have been such a failure without Goldstone? Would the rabidly anti-Israeli NGOs be so vocal without funding by Soros? Would the IDF be so condemned without journalists like Ilana Dayan and groups like Machsom Watch? Would the Jewish villages in Judea and Samaria be an issue without Yariv Oppenheimer and "Peace Now"?

...of far right wing personalities and groups were featured in this article. It doesn't take much digging below the surface to expose the strong right wing bias feature here. If you really want to get at the heart of anti-Israel bias, take one more step towards the question and ask: Why? Why does the bias exist? Throwing out a few mentions of radical Islam as a means of dealing with the issue is reprehensible, poor journalism.

the protests should know that before cursing a name that he do not know the meaning of.

in peace, we all know about the grim situation of chritians in Beith lechem, there r more mosques than churches. y is that salma?

The author states, "Then most of the overwhelming demonization of the Jews came from a single source: Hitler...." In actuality political parties in Europe, with anti-semitism being its primarily purpose, started in the 19th century--years before Nazism. They were strong and powerful parties. Today, Antisemitism is taking that "political" route. That is why Anti-Zionism actually equals anti-semitism. It is scary--almost like seeing history repeating itself!

The nation state of Israel has a much right to exist as any other nation state however matters would be greatly helped if the nation state of Israel was to declare it borders, stop the brutal occupation of millions of Palestinians and the theft of their land and resources. You can assume that these two very simple points (declared borders and an end to the Israeli occupation) were not discussed at this conference as a means to boost the legitimacy of Israel. Likewise Israel’s continued refusal to abide by international laws would not have been broached, surely it is obvious that if Israel became an upstanding member of the international community it would gain greater respect and legitimacy? By and large this conference seems to have focused on the ‘effect’ (and how to counter the ‘effect’) rather than the ‘causes’ of the widespread global discontent at Israel and its policies/actions. It is simply not good enough to say “Oh they all hate us and want to kill us” without looking at causality. For example a housewife in Italy protesting against the brutal killing of 9 civilians aboard the Marmara is not doing so because she ‘hates Jews’ she is doing so because she finds the unnecessary killing of civilians trying to deliver humanitarian aid repugnant. The simple truth of the matter is that it is Israel’s very own ongoing violent actions and non-adherence to basic humanitarian and international laws that has largely resulted in its “de-legitimization”.

Pipes represents himself, Islam represents 1'400'000'000 people.

It only exists among the dark forces-the world of AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists. But Israel is loved and admired by the millions of Judeo-Christians and other non-dark forces around the world. So don't be concerned about such problem.

Let’s take a look at these: "Every time someone criticizes Israel, immediately he is branded as an antisemite" By and large this is true. Just take a look at the article regarding Mike Leigh, clearly he is protesting the amendment to the Israeli Citizenship Act and he is certainly not known as a ‘hater of Jews’ yet he has been branded as an “Anti-Semite” in post #14 by “Jonny” from Cape Town. “Jonny” also goes on to say, without a shred of evidence, that “he is probably a firm supporter of Hamas”! "Ever stopped to wonder maybe the world hates you because of your actions?" A legitimate question but not a statement of fact. "No amount of PR and spin efforts could cover for your war crimes against helpless Palestinians" It is a common fact that the majority of people do not condone war crimes no matter who commits them and are unlikely to accept any ‘rationale’ to mitigate the needless deaths of innocent civilians. "You have been deemed criminals in countless UN resolutions, and you wonder why the world hates you?" This statement is flawed in that the UN Res in themselves do not determine ‘proven criminality’. I dare say you made this ‘slogan’ up. "Israel will soon be a pariah state, the BDS movement is growing" A “pariah state” can be defined as a state whose conduct is considered to be out of line with international norms of behavior, in this regard Israel clearly fits the description. As for the BDS movement it is indeed growing, only the other day Australian unions joined the international campaign to boycott Israeli goods from the West Bank. As you can see these “slogans” are hardly “empty”, I also note that you mention “facts” yet you do not actually cite any, this would make your post void of substance or in other words - "empty".

The driving force is the oil buck. It's just a matter of having a close look where the oil bucks eventually settle (because it's pretty obvious where they originate).

Is it true that Judoo-Christians will force Israel to become a Christian state in the end, after "loved and admired"

Islam and xtianity are completely based on Judiasm. Jesus lived his whole life as a rabbi. 27 out of 28 prophets in Islam were born to Jewish mothers. The revelation of Godliness in Judiasm is very strong and continues to burn brightly. Witness the fascination with the Kabbalah. All anti- semitism is based upon the recognition of the truth of Judiasm and the belief that the Jews have lost their privelged status to the "new kid on the block". The existance and strength of Israel calls into doubt validity of all religions and nations that believe in the emes of the Jewish scriptures, but are convinced that their group has replaced the Jews

For 2 years I did advocacy for Israel in a portuguese message board ( I am portuguese ). I one of the 2 pro israeli people in that board. There were only 2 pro israel fellows and dozens of pro palestinians. Israeli leaders should be aware of the strength of the global anti israel forces and therefore should act accordingly. Israel should use as little military force as possible in order not to strengthen anti israelis . Gaza war was an example of what should have not been done. Turkey relations with israel did deteriorate..,global hatred against israel increase. Israeli leaders should be aware of the costs of using brute force as they often did in the past ( Gaza , Lebanon war ).

Throwing gasoline in the fire everyday?

... Anti-Jewish Racists / 7th Century Based Islamist. These are the three components that have gathered to spew its hate of everything related to the nearly 4,000 year old civilization of Judaism, including its nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, and the non-violent (not pacifist) national liberation movement that brought it about, Zionism. Sadly, the Obama White House, if not in word then in deed lends a shoulder to this ugly world development not seen since 1945...!!

Judeo-Christians will not force Israel or anyone to convert. Judeo-Christians worship the GOD of Israel-the GOD of the Bible-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe.

Israels problem is its actions and actions speak louder than words

Unfortunately their loss. This but old news to Jewish people. But the Children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Jewish Nation will survive, as it has done for 4000 years, all witnessing the demise of all those great Empires. God tells Abraham, those who bless you will be Blessed, those who curse you will be cursed. The World will be Blessed thru you. WHY ALL THE HATRED? Why can't 10 million people live on Peace, in there Homeland among 6 other BILLION PEOPLE????

if you believe that those who arranged bombing of trains in London and Madrid are in any sense different from those who blew up buses, the pizzeria and the discotheque in Israel you are gravely mistaken.

I am not jewish, but deeply upset by the obvious growing trend of anti-semetism. The greatest element (in the last few years)of this trend in my opinion is President Obama. From the outset he has been obviously anti-Israel. He has single handedly destroyed a military alliance with a country which has stood by us through thick and thin since it's founding.

Groves, the half truths and spiteful, ignorant rhetoric that you spew are exactly what this article is about. So I guess that if I were trying to be ironic, I would have had to say that you took the words right out my mouth.
