1. Another classic example
Sagi   (12.25.10)
of what religion and "God" can do to the human mind. Religion is powerful, the human mind is feeble.
2. Does he think he is an imam?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.25.10)
Jews were also responsible for producing his jesus too. Funny how these bums bow to a Jew in a church, then go out see a Jew in the street and curse him. Remember fools, when the Messiah comes and the dead return to life, jesus will pray with his fellow Jews and not you christians.
3. Of course, Mr. Cantor turn blind in front of Israel racism
Moise   (12.25.10)
of the Rabis and followers. Its okey when Jews insult and beat Africans, Arabs and christians. Racism is ugly no matter the source of it!!!

6. Greek priest's rant
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (12.25.10)
The rantings of the Piraeus Metropolite do nothing to advance the cause of Palestine Liberation, and indeed, may regrettably help set the cause back. There are enough factual reasons to validate the dismantlement of Israel without a priest's going into wild, fanciful accusations that have no basis in fact.
7. i feel ashamed
greek ,   greece   (12.25.10)
as a Greek citizen and as a Christian Orthodox for these kind of comments,this priest represents a sad minority,at least he officially apologized for his rant.

as a muslim myself of iranian origin, but an educated muslim, i can guarantee you that YOUR RANT ABOUT ISRAEL is as much an example of a classic antisemite (you!) that usually, as you yourself said, "goes into wild, fanciful accusations that have no basis in reality". if i remember correctly, in one of your typical garbage posts and constant irrelevant and idiotic antisemitic "accusations" against the jews and israel,you stated that jews in general, not accepting christ and jesus into their lives as their god and idol, relinquished their right to israel and to having israel as their home. now that was a truly idiotic typical comment we always hear from religious christian antisemites that never forgave jews for not accepting your son of god. you, my friend, are an empty shell and therefore your words and accusations are baseless and boring to the extreme. you debase yourself and your religion, one that you acquired from judaism itself. i do not think jesus, a born and practicing jew would have wished anything but good fortunes for the jews in their jewish homeland. i also think that jesus would have denounced you as a dog and ignorant person. your hate and twisting of historical facts are legendary and anyone with a bit of sense and knowledge could easily come to the conclusion that it is only your severe antisemitism and accusations of jews in general that pushes you along these hateful lines, lines that are not only stupid, but so ignorant as well. rest assured that most people in the usa and yes, even in iran, do not think like you do. peddle your wares somewhere else, maybe on a neo nazi website because you truly embarrass yourself on this forum. hameed aboughaze, iranian

rachel ,   usa   (12.26.10)
butt into something you know nothing about . Your just another brainwashed useful idiot who believes or wants to believe that jews are evil . and don't give me .."..its only zionists we are against."
12. Free speech means he has a right to say idiotic crap
Sean Greene ,   Pasadena, USA   (12.26.10)
It also means we have the right to tell him he's wrong and to shut the hell up. Also that the church has the right to tell him to step down. I hope all parties involved choose the best things to say.

EST ,   Miami USA   (12.26.10)
Are we talking about the same Africans (Muslim and Christians) who are been killed on their way through Muslim countries to seek sanctuary in Israel???? How come you are not yelling for the UN and the rest of the so called Human Rights organizations of this world to stop their slaughter in those countries????Why blame the only country that gives them safe harbor until they and the so called Human Rights advocates/UN refugee committees, etc., etc. find a solution to their problem??? Israel is not to blame for the lack of humanity in their neighboring countries...you and those that howl along with you encourage the savagery of those ....$#@. Let the UN refugee committee take them to their refugee camps and provide for them...why don't they? after all they are being hunted and killed by their Muslim brothers in different countries...they are refugees and the UN takes plenty of our tax money to feed "refugees"!!!!
