31. Kissinger was not Israel's Sec of State - Cynic #2
Kate ,   London, UK   (12.25.10)
Yes, and the same was true during the Holocaust when the U.S., at very best, did absolutely nothing to save the drowning Jews of Europe. It's why I believe no gentile nation in the world can be trusted with Jewish lives and why Israel must exist. You do not care what happens to Jews and I do not care what happens to Americans. I think that's a pretty fair quid pro quo.
32. strangely quiet about the yom kippur war
martin ,   uk   (12.25.10)
deathokissinger as he was known for good reason. witheld israel desperately required rearmaments and he refused for as longas he could, while israelis were being killed on the golan and in sinai. this, while russia supplied it's arab friends pre, during and post yom kippur war. he should never be allowed access on israeli soil, nor invited as a guest to any jewish function. swine!
33. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.25.10)
Well, your attitude certainly surprises no one. Is that why no one in Australia discusses -- or even acknowledges -- the ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by European interlopers against the aborigines? Tens of millions massacred in cold blood -- wow, those British convicts rivaled anything the Nazis did.
34. #33 - Sarah B
Kate ,   London, UK   (12.25.10)
I always think it's an absolute hoot when Aussies and Kiwis proclaim their anti-Zionism. After all, Australia and New Zealand have treated their native populations worse than any other nations on earth, and, at least in my estimation, no two countries have less legitimacy, at least in terms of morality.
35. Tut,tut,tut
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (12.25.10)
#33 " the ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity" If that is what you believe you have something in common with Australia in both of your claimed domiciles. You are of course misinformed and evidently suffer from an excess of self-importance.
36. So, what's changed?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.25.10)
The gassing of the Jews and others by the Nazis was not the US's concern either. The US Air force flew over Auschwitz every day and, in spite of pleas by Jewish leaders tom bomb the place, the Americans said they could not spare the resources. With "friends" like the Yanks who needs enemies?
37. "I REGRET THAT REMARK"
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.25.10)
And we regret you Henry.
38. #34 Kate
bob ,   NZ   (12.25.10)
New Zealand's treatment of Maori cannot be compared to the treatment of Australian Aborigines , Native Americans, or black Americans. Maori have had their problems with European settlement , but to claim they've been treated worse than any one on earth is ridiculous. Its irritating for everyone, and embarrassing for normal kiwis, when self-righteous naive ''activist'' kiwis lecture on Ynet about Israel's problems with Arabs Why add more ignorance to the discussion by replying in kind?
39. "An excess of self-importance" - #35
Kate ,   London, UK   (12.25.10)
"An excess of self-importance" sounds like the very definition of the typical Australian. Let's get something straight: Jews living in Israel are in their ancestral homeland; the white man in Australia is merely an interloper, a cuckoo in the nest.
40. I am certain that some high US official said the same thing
(12.25.10)
When Nazis were comiting genocide against Jews.
41. Thank God Nixon was president and not Kissinger.
(12.25.10)
Can you imagine?
42. What a shame !!
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.25.10)
Kissinger managed to survive and his relatives didn't The reverse should have been true
43. All Y'all's are just plain stupid is showing!
(12.25.10)
Kissinger's comment is historically accurate even if it is politically incorrect! The United States nor any other country gave a good copper penny over the fate of the Jews of Europe. All Y'all need to remember history instead of taking things out of context and making a mountain out of a mole hill!
44. #43 What you don't or can't understand
Schreiber   (12.25.10)
Obviously you're not Jewish. Otherwise you would understand OUR CONTEXT. The reason why his comments are so offensive is not that he was an American. We know all about the American attitude towards Jews. The reason why his words are so offensive to us is that he was a JEW. And not just any Jew but one who had known the Holocaust first hand, and one who had attained some power or access to power. He could have done the right thing but he chose to kiss his boss's ass and he tried to appear as if he was not a Jew anymore but a full American goy, like Y'all. At the expense of Jewish lives. That's what makes him so disgusting.
45. to #16 His first wife was Jewish and
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.25.10)
Nancy Sharon Maginnis is the daughter of Albert Maginnis, a businessman from upstate N.Y. kissinger is an evil creature and I remember reading that he was excommunicated by a court of rabbis in 1975 or 76. They said he was a danger to the state of Israel and he shamed the Jewish religion.
46. #9 - Interesting story re: "Israel bleed a little"
William ,   Israel   (12.25.10)
I recall the Leftists Elite in the Israeli govt saying the same thing after 2000 to help Arafat and "Palestinians" feel that they won something so as to bring them to peace easier.
47. #45 & #16
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.25.10)
Kissinger married his shiksa wife on Shabbat, showing his contempt for the Jewish religion He's one of those Jews that just because they were born in Germany, always thought what the Nazi's did, could never happen to him My main regret is that managed to survive while others in his family perished
48. #33 - Robert from Australia which dispel your concerns
William ,   Israel   (12.25.10)
because it "happened so long ago, so its of no importance". While he claims you are "mis-informed" the Aboriginals, this group protested last year the human rights abuses against them in the past by Europeans who invaded Australia, the theft of an entire generation by these colonialists, and the on-going inequality. Robert might consider you "mis-informed" but I think these natives who have felt the abuse for years are very much informed. Robert represents the line in a Moody Blues song so well - "there is no one so blind as those who REFUSE to see".
49. #42 - it seems Holocaust didn't make some Jews humble
William ,   Israel   (12.25.10)
Just look at the retarded mindset of Hedy Epstein, and she lied about being a "Holocaust Survivor".
50. Real politic
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.25.10)
The only defence Kissinger could take for what he said,is,that he would not have tried to save his own parents,if it contradicted US policy,typical of Roosevelt's Hofe yude,like Rosenman,Stepan Vise.
51. # 28 Kissinger
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.25.10)
Cynic! If the millions of people the soviets had planned to gas were not Jews,but Armenians,what do you think Nixon and Kissinger position would have been ?.
52. #45 Ma Ha Keta Shelcha! (what is ur problem)
#43   (12.25.10)
Not only am I Jewish I am also Israeli Your context my friend seems to be to "Leharbitz makot rezach" (to beat to death) anyone who doesn't agree with you! Taseli tova tiskor et HaHafetz Chaim (Do me a favor remember the Hafetz Chaim) if you don't have anything good to say then be silent! B'emet vKissinger who ha yehudon ha rishon? Ze maftia otacha tipshe ata! (Oh really and Kissinger is the first court Jew? this surprses u?) Who cares what Kissinger said or did 30 - 40 years ago what matters is what we in the state of Israel have done in that same time period! In other words my friend Schreiber I ain't no American goy, and I aint no dim witted Schreiber (writer) like you! I am a full fledged Israeli who knows my history!
53. like others - we are useless eaters ?
he just regrets ,   that this comment   (12.25.10)
54. #11 Robert, still peddling the old fish ?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.25.10)
It smells, that's why nobody is buying it Robert, sniff under your own armpits Look what I found about the “Apartheid” that’s going on in Australia, under your nose, where’s your concern, you must have known about it ! UN Anti-Racism Committee Slams Apartheid Australia Racism By Dr Gideon Polya 29 August, 2010 Australia 's explicitly racist policies against Indigenous Australians and refugees have been slammed by a recent Report from the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in Geneva http://www.countercurrents.org/polya290810.htm Now be a good fellow, wrap your tale in Saran wrap and shove it where the sun don't shine
55. #17 you must have been sleeping when jews were the only ones
rachel ,   usa   (12.26.10)
protesting for darfur. why the hell do people like you talk about somthing you know nothing about.
56. Termination
Pinchas   (11.19.11)
German and Austrian jewry had the capacity to terminate the Nazi leadership in 1934 to obliterate them.But Iran still can save itself.Rebut Holocoust Denial and Accept the Jewish state in Eretz Israel.
57. Assasination
Pinchas   (11.19.11)
58. His childhood was horrible!
Jehuda ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.20.11)
He lived in Germany and was only 10 years old when Hitler came to power. He was 15 when his parents understood that the time came to leave Germany. 5 years he lived in antisemitic athmosfere of Nazi Germany, listening every day and on every step words of hatred on his own people. And he was only 10-15 years old and imbibed all this hatred deep in his soul. At last he began to hate his people and himself. It may be said that he got the lessons of antisemitism from Hitler himself. The Germans were de-nazifide, but d-r Kissinger never.
