1. Proving once again...
Israela ,   Israel   (03.27.11)
Countries don't have friends they have interests! Argentina's history also proves that they have no memory and aren't tremendously concerned about the safety of its own population. Sad, very sad indeed.
2. the very very sad thing here is that
(03.27.11)
hector timerman IS A JEW!
3. Leave it to self-hating and non-Jewish Jews
Sergio HaDaR Tezza ,   Turin, Italy   (03.27.11)
to do what most gentiles would not dare.
4. It is no secret that Argentina is part of the Axis Of Evil
Tahl   (03.27.11)
It is hardly surprising, that the country who sheltered the biggest number of Nazis after WW2, who engages in active trade with Iran, and provides a smuggling route for weapons for Hizbullah, would sell its morals for a pocketful of dollars. Ever since those two horrific bombings, we have always suspected that the Argentinians were dragging their feet with the investigations, but this puts an official stamp on it. Israel must sever all ties with Argentina now, and Jewish organizations in America must use their influence to minimize American involvement in Argentina as well. At least until they finally prosecute and put behind bars for life all those responsible for the bombings - which I don't foresee anytime soon. If Argentina prefers the friendship of terrorist Iran over Israel and the West, then let them have it, and let us have no part of them!
5. To # 2
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (03.27.11)
Timerman is technically a Jew, no doubt, but he is, as his father was, completely detached from Judaism. This just proves you how cheap people are and make you understand the "kappos", they are all the same ilk.
6. Cristina
Cindy ,   TA Israel   (03.27.11)
I know how this goes in Argentine.I know the impact to the Jewish community in Buenos Aires.I also know that there is something probably 'illegal' in that sudden AMNESIA. THIS is outrageous!....is sad, Argentine was and is now actually, ruled by corrupts.
7. #2 the saddest thing is that Hector Timerman is the son of:
Israela ,   Israel   (03.27.11)
Jacobo Timmerman! And we all should definitely remember who Jacobo was and what the State of Israel did for him and his family! In other words Hector is behaving in a very shameful "court Jew" fashion not only because he is Jewish but also because due to the involvement of the State of Israel his safety was insured on more than one occassion. I can't even begin to tell you what sort of disgust I feel at the moment!
8. Flash back?
Brod ,   USA   (03.27.11)
Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 members,naval officers, two Marines and wounded 170 crew members
9. Money talks ,...
split ,   US   (03.27.11)
10. Why not?
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.27.11)
We've already a very good example of "tolerance" and the public interest : German-"Israeli" relations improved greatly despite the terrible history between Jews and Germany !!!
11. For all the Anti-zionists
R ,   Israel   (03.27.11)
The bombing of the Jewish center in Argentina is more proof that your PC claim of being "anti-Zionist" but not anti-Jewish is a charade.
12. Salma do us all a favor....please do be silent....
EBR ,   Israel   (03.27.11)
many times your comments are welcome...they provide comic relief and a counterpoint to argue with. This time they do neither so at least have the decency to be silent on this topic for the rest of the day. Thank you very much.
13. Timerman
Standing Tall ,   USA   (03.27.11)
The worst kind of antisemite is the Jew that is trying to be a Gentile. Timerman is a disgrace to all Jews, including his father.
14. salma how can the west stop Islamic extremism?
(03.27.11)
15. Brod & Salma there is no analog between your comments and...
Sara N. ,   Jeruasalem   (03.27.11)
what Argentina is doing. FYI Argentina is not a nuclear free zone as it states that it is. They have much that they can sell to the Iranians! Brod did you want another nuclear power just waiting to slap you in the USA? Salma and do you really think that a stronger and more powerful Iran serves your "Palestinian" interests?
16. You can't blame Argentina
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.27.11)
Ever since Israeli President Shimon Peres pardoned Samir Kuntar and the Israeli courts freed Demanjuk, Israel has no moral grounds to condemn Argentina. #8: you're getting boring: just because you repeat a lie a lot, doesn't make it true.
17. please ignore salma
martin ,   uk   (03.27.11)
she craves attention at all costs. just ignore her. she has nothing sensible to offer. since the arab revolts, where are the muslim english language news media, where we can add stupidity against islam, the same way she does against jews and israel? please don't allow her the oxygen to breathe hatred.
18. International form of prostitution.
noa ,   israel   (03.27.11)
19. Look who is coming on April
John P. ,   NYC   (03.27.11)
The 5 and 6 of April in TLV there is a commercial mission from Argentina and the representative of Argentina is TIMMERMAN....nice moment for this to appear on the news,,,
20. to #8 Brod here's a full accounting
Arn ,   Yehud   (03.27.11)
The USS Liberty was a state of the art spyship which the Americans deployed in Israel waters when Israel was at war. She broadcast all the info collected from Israel's war room and battlefronts and made all that info available to the Egyptians. The Americans will keep a single agent for Israel incarcerated for a lifetime and more. Justice would have demanded that Israel sink the USS Liberty flat out. But she didn't. However the Americans could return to Europe a ship packed with refugees escaping Hitler for them to die there.
21. #16 WELL SAID
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.27.11)
Israel has long given up any rights to condemn others ,including Argentina which is simply protecting its own interests.Releasing Kuntar and Demjanjuk is worse than criminal.
22. #19 Time for decent people to hold protests
Logic ,   Israel   (03.27.11)
Israelis should snub him and hold public protests and consider returning the ambassador. Americans should also raise a ruckus.
23. The best politicians money can buy
Abba ,   Modi'in, Israel   (03.27.11)
It used to be Chicago politicians. Seems that Argentina is the champ now.
24. #8 on USS Liberty
Tahl   (03.27.11)
The difference is that after that tragic incident, the US conducted several investigations, none of which concluded Israel had malicious intent, but rather a case of mistaken identity. Are you suggesting that the U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry, the Joint Chief of Staff, the CIA, the NSA, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the National Archives - were all lying?...
25. Bomb explodes at Lebanese church
GJ   (03.27.11)
Dearest Salma, it’s surely those Jews of Zahle living there in large quantities that did this!
26. #17 So Childish !
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.27.11)
You can't get a girls attention by your childish mind ( good for girls anyway : ) my advice to you ..... If you crave attention, get it by doing good things rather than "puking" in Ynet !
27. Brod and Salma
Ayman ,   Florida   (03.27.11)
Listen guys... There are bad actors in the world as there are bad letter writers. No matter what is said ..no matter what argument can be made..people like Salma and Brod need to be ignored..Inherent anti-semitism and ignorance result in the same tired litany of complaints who seek attention..These adults are incapable of learning the lessons of history...My suggestion to both of them is next time they decide to write something..have their parents read it over first..and check it...
28. #24 - to dispute the "findings" would
seadog1946 ,   InTransit, USA   (03.27.11)
be... anti-semitic. I prefer to believe what the crew members said about the incident.
29. #16 Israel Israeli: Your talkback is drivel!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.27.11)
Check your facts! President Peres is a constitutional head of state and does what the government tells him to do. He pardoned Samir Kuntar as instructed by the Olmert Government which only agreed to the pardon after Mrs Haran, the widow of Danny Haran and mother of the murderd children, agreed to the swap for the bodies of Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. As for John Demanjuk, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction based on the Trawnikii Document and other evidence not previously disclosed by the United States,which then proved that he was NOT Ivan the Terrible, Yes he was and is a Nazi but you cannot convict even a Nazi without evidence. If you believe you can execute someone on the basis of false information you reduce Israel to the level of those who want to destroy us! As for Argentina, well it is a fact the many South American countries harbored Nazi war criminals. Argentina even object to the UN when Eichmann was captured and brought to Israel but only agreed to wave iits claim the Israeli violated International Law after "Eventually the Council passed Resolution 138, which requested Israel "to make appropriate reparation", while stating that "Eichmann should be brought to appropriate justice for the crimes of which he is accused" and that "this resolution should in no way be interpreted as condoning the odious crimes of which Eichmann is accused." (Wikipedia). You should really check your facts before you write. Use the Wikipedia - its free and accurate! So much for "can't blame Argentina"!
30. Argentina already forgot about the old
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.27.11)
Nazis it took into shelter some times ago...could such a big amount of amnesia not become a bit dangerous...???
