1. Muslims Claim Discrimination
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (12.16.10)
Of course they were discriminated against. Who trusts Muslims - period?
2. This proves that Israelis are not fools
Eran ,   Singapore   (12.16.10)
3. I'm good with it
Mea   (12.16.10)
Maybe it is time Americans quit attempting to rule real time terrorism using MLKthink. The reality is a musl who achieves killing a senior Israeli official would acquire a lifestyle only king could compete with. On America we keep striving to make every Ahole on the planet into an innocent when in fact few are. The fact is this is something very sensible. Any muslim even slightly connected to the internet knows the value of killing Barak, so if they offended I just think they aren't too polished. Don't like it, tough doo doo kids.....
4. Muslims in hotel
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (12.16.10)
It would appear to me that the Muslims so ill-treated will have the last laugh. I foresee a huge lawsuit against the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, DC, in which the hotel corporation and its personnel will be held jointly and severally liable. Remember: He who laughs last laughs best!
5. excluding moslems
alexi   (12.16.10)
There is everything correct about limiting moslems around barak. Look at terror-medical moslem graduates who planned bombings and shootings because allah commanded them. Wait a second, you studied with jews and christians, why kill innocent? Because allah told me to do it. Same thing wiht engineering moslem graduates-allah told me to do it. End result-we go to paradise with 72 virgins awaiting us. Sorry Cair,r eason does not prevail. All moslems in the hotel are restricted because of the bad deeds of al quaeda rubbs off on them.
6. What a ridiculous accusation
Christian ,   London   (12.16.10)
No sane Westerner would feel at ease near Muslims. Even Juan Wiliiams from NPR felt uncomfortable amongst Muslims at an airport.
7. during college years i had muslims as roomates in my dorm
James ,   USA   (12.16.10)
I was stuck with them and not given a choice to whom i want to room with. I had locked my room at night when sleeping....in case they wanted to behead me in my sleep or something.
8. No "constitutional right" to work with visiting Israelis
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (12.16.10)
More "Arab-American" troublemaking in the form of phony "discrimination" complaints. They weren't fired or demoted, they still got their regular pay. No cause of action whatsoever. State Dept. is aware of illegal harrassment of visiting israelis e.g., by Arab and Muslim students, and took reasonable precautions, in view of the un-American conduct of Muslims and "Arab-Americans" in the past.
9. Barak
G ,   USA   (12.16.10)
It's called security, idiots.
10. What can one say?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.16.10)
Cowards.
11. barack
das ,   israel   (12.16.10)
maybe he should have stayed at home.......but he loves to travel when tax payers pay his trip. the man belongs in the public and not in politics. he is a total failure.
12. Are females/gay people free to visit all floors in Arabia?
Claude ,   London   (12.16.10)
13. More dangerous to barak if Jews were there!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.16.10)
Afterall he is the good friend of the palis and will sell us Jews down the river.
14. So what?
Ronnbo ,   Canada   (12.16.10)
When King Hussein was a patient at the Cleveland Clinic in the 80's, all Jewish Doctors were barred from any "contact" with the King, including being banned reading his x-rays! No muslim lobby lodged complaints at that time.
15. The safety of foreign visitors is certainly more important
Sheldon ,   USA   (12.16.10)
than concept of "politically correctness", even in America, as it should be.
16. #4- no lawsuit against Hotel will stand-up in court
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (12.16.10)
You must not have read the article, it was not the hotel that barred them but the State Department that did and not just Muslims. The State Department will use National Security as an excuse so any case will be dropped, and those initiating a lawsuit will be out cash to ambulance chasers who agreed to file it.
17. Muslims want to have it both ways...
Oleg ,   Russia   (12.16.10)
as always, a few years ago a Muslim policeman in London asked to be removed from guarding the Israeli embassy...I guess CAIR did not think it was unfair or discriminatory...by Muslims ..did it? I guess not..allways one way ---just for them...
18. Salma no 10
JUDAH THE LION   (12.16.10)
You can say one simple word. """SECURITY"""""
19. Rehavam Zeevi Z"L was murdered
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (12.16.10)
for the lack of such security measures at the Jerusalem Hyatt. Security must always come before any political correctness and equal-opportunity considerations.
20. To Salma #10: let's make a deal.....
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.16.10)
I give you Ehud Barak any time, any place, (any hotel) and you refrain from the "right of return"...? Sounds fair to me. That would be a good start to our future relations- I'll visit you in let's say Amman and you can visit me anytime in Tel Aviv. Fair is fair ..? C'mon Salma , be a sport :-)
21. #20 I can give you a better deal.
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.16.10)
listen tom, you can take jerry sorry I mean Barak ; ) any time to any place any hotel anywhere, your tickets on my account but on one condition don't visit me when I go back to AKKA , fair is fair tom. : ) deal ! byyyyyyyyye
22. #21
Non-Jew ,   England   (12.16.10)
BACK to Akko, Salma? I'm willing to bet you've never been there in your life. Why exactly did your ancestors leave there? Many Arabs just stayed put in Akko in 1948, and their decendants still live there quite happily...
23. #1 I heard the same about JEWS!!!!!!!!
aiman ,   jersey   (12.16.10)
24. Please ignore Selma
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.16.10)
The more you talk back to her, the more exposure she gets, which is what she wants / is paid for. Plus you waste a post

you may have, but here is the difference for you, arab jews, not a single one, has ever bombed a hotel bombed a party bombed an airplane bombed an airport bombed a church bombed a mosque bombed a home bombed a church bombed a convoy bombed a car bombed a ship or vessel bombed a consulate murdered a politician from arab world murdered and beheaded anyone slit throats of children and women as honor killing murdered their own family members if they dishonored the family beheaded captives gassed the citizens of their own country who were like kurds mass murdered whole ethnic populations like the armenians decapitated, hanged or stoned women, children and men shot knees of rival parties gunned down palestinian wedding celebrators for dancing and listening to music threw their own countrymen from roofs and broke their legs arrested journalists and kept them confined for having an opinion that was different than the arab regime gunned down convoys of israeli politicians and gunned down politicians in hotels (rehavam zeevi) beheaded captives strapped suicide bomb belts unto themselves and blew themselves up killing not only jews, but arabs. muslims, christians in massive amounts the list can go on, my friends. and on and on and on. all the above are your muslim gifts to humanity. not a single contribution on your part to civilization. not a single contribution except death, mayhem, unrest, violence and murder. AND YOU WANT THE ISRAELI EHUD BARAK TO TRUST YOU GUYS??? you are a joke in world opinion. you and those like you, aiman from jordan. hameed aboughaze, iranian
26. #22 Why exactly did my ancestors leave there?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.16.10)
my grandfather loved Akka more than you can imagine but he loved his children again more than you can imagine , he feared the brutality of the Zionists so he decided to leave his home for a day or two days , a week or 2 weeks with one hope return very soon, but unfortunately he died in exile . when I asked my grandpa the same question his answer was only silence, but it was a very loud silence : (
27. # 25
Birdi ,   Israel   (12.16.10)
Great post & good to have you back Hameed.
28. #27
(12.16.10)
thank you very much. i went to iran to visit my family. it was very difficult emotionally to see what ahmadin ejad has done to my country. the sanctions are working, unfortunately against the people rather than the mullahs. the mullahs do not care about their people. they will rather see everyone die of hunger and loss of jobs that give up their murderous new weapon. hameed aboughaze, iranian

(12.16.10)
how about the almost million jews that lived in all arab lands even before the muslims got there . yes the one million jews that were forced to leave all arab lands when israel was born and even before it was born. they were murdered, imprisoned, harrassed and killed. they were expelled while the arab regimes took and stole all their belongings. they expelled them one by one with only the shirt on their back. do you know where these people are today??? they are in israel and are also dying in israel from old age. they are not in concentration palestinian camps like your arab brothers put you in in 1948. so, don't you think these jews from arab lands also died in exile in israel. after all, israel was not their country of birth, was it??? these people also look with nostalgia at what they left behind, which is million times more valuable that what your ancestors left behind. the jews left homes, businesses, succesful careers. what did your ancestors leave behind? mud huts? a mosque or two, cows? what ????? where is the comoensation for my parents who left egypt by force? where is our money from our bank accounts in egypt, where is our succesful textile comoany that was stolen by your brothers and sisters in the arab world? you are the one to talk. your grandfather left nothing compared ot what we jews left in all arab lands that was stolen from all of us after they hanged us, murdered us, violence against us, discrimination, lower status as citizens, keeping us in mellas as second class dhimis, etc.. you are one to talk!
30. Again, Lawfare will Invert Reality
Dallas ,   Canada   (12.16.10)
The tsunami of hatred of Jews from the Arab world continues, and no one has the guts to call them on it. This is so typical - the haters try to paint themselves as the victims.
