1. Correction
Hakim ,   Palestine   (06.20.11)
Growing radicalization of JEWS in America not MUSLIMS..
2. The analysis is bang on...The USA is in decline
Al   (06.20.11)
Israel's future freinds lie in the east.I.E. South Korea, Vietnam, The Philippines, China.. Japan is in meltdown mode. The USA under Obama is in rapid decline with nay a hope and a prayer. Should he be re-elected then the USA will be on the ropes.
3. Where exactly is palestine?
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.20.11)
Gaza?
4. Corrupt Consalar Officials & Visas
InvestigateConsuls ,   china and israel   (06.20.11)
It is hardly a secret in any country that consular officials issue visas to America on the basis of personal political grounds coupled with a lot of under the counter graft in the form of people bribing and paying for a visa.The Moslem immigration en mass to America was aided and encouraged by Moslem consular officials and their corrupt American supervisors
5. The butterfly effect.
Beauchard ,   Amsterdam   (06.20.11)
The great (dis)advantage of long term political prophecising is that any and every prophecy can be right or wrong. No matter what the political opinion or level of sobriety, there is always a prophecy that can be found to fit. So, it was a slow news day?
6. And what is role of Jewish-American ''leaders''???
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (06.20.11)
Generally, total cowardice & support for progressive causes over Jewish causes. Jewish leadership in America sucks, just a bunch of self-serving, spineless, liberal fools. Most Jewish leaders in America are more concerned with re-electing Obama than defending Israel or Jewish interests. Many large American-Jewish organizations have been infiltrated, taken over, by Leftists even though the vast majority of Jews do not agree with their positions. This is especially true for Reform Jewish organizations. American Jews better wake up soon or they will find themselves in the same situation as European Jews.
7. Much bigger treat to Israel
Moshe ,   Netanya   (06.20.11)
Erriterian, Somali invasion of Israel. And I am not talking about the tuberculosid epidemic in Israel.
8. Hakim "Palestine"
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.20.11)
move back to jordan
9. Muslims............
tiki ,   belgium   (06.20.11)
Maybe it's not Political Correct, but the 'facts speak for themselves. MUSLIMS, wherever they come, they 'pose a threat, a threat to safety, free speech, freedom of (other) religions, etc. etc. It's unbelievable that the (still) somewhat free world doesn't deal with them much more forcefully. Insread the State of Israel & Jews are under attaque. The world will come to regret their stupid and fatalistic behaviour & politics.
10. yes number 1
rashid ,   palistinian   (06.20.11)

11. #5 In israeli media its always a slow news day
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (06.20.11)
All you hear them talk about is ever single move iran is taking..how the radical islam is becoming this and that while at the same time their country is sinking by the day.... You should have a laugh or 2 every time you read one of their articles...To them, the end times are just around the corner...LOL
12. Terry - No. 6
Faith ,   Israel   (06.20.11)
I agree with you wholeheartedly. American Jews have become such wimps, in general. Lot of good that will do them, just as it did in Europe.
13. yes No. 10
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.20.11)

14. #10 Rashid
Devorah   (06.20.11)
Dude, you're not "cleaver." You're at the apex of idiocy on the Bell Curve.
15. Growing Muslim & Hispanic ties bigger long term problem
B-scot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.20.11)
With in another decade the Hispanic vote will likely control elections in Texas and Florida. That will give them a lot of power in Congress but their current weaken is funding which the oil countries of S. American and Saudi Arabia could start supplying soon. American Jews in the next decade will have to make some hard political choices and could conflict with current Israel goals at some point, unless some form of agreement is reached with the Muslims soon.
16. No. 11
Faith ,   Israel   (06.20.11)
Lol - Peter from Vienna - you seem to know a lot about Israeli politics. The only thing that is sinking, and fast, is Europe. Enjoy your new European culture - I hear Islam is the religion of freedom.
17. I remember the car bomb threat 2 years
ghostq   (06.20.11)
ago in broklyne synagouge. the caught the two Muslim radicals, in the press there was not covrage of the trile sadly.
18. to #11 this nationalism is global, it exist
ghostq   (06.20.11)
also in Europe and other parts of the world Europe is just begining to wake up after immigrants frenzy, I smel clashes against immigrants, not my idea, just pointing out the obvious.
19. B-Scot #15
Steve   (06.20.11)
You say, American Jews in the next decade will have to make some hard political choices that could conflict with current Israel goals at some point. If you look at the numbers, many American Jews are indeed already making political choices which conflict with Israel's security and her welfare. There is strong support for the American political left which is putting increasing immoral pressure on Israel to make dangerous concessions. The political right (some of it) is not much better. No form of agreement or accommodation will be reached between Muslims and non-Muslims, especially with Jews, interfaith feel-good outreach notwithstanding. Ultimately "vigilant" American Jews will choose to make Aliyah (immigrate to Israel). Those who remain will face increasingly difficult choices as Europe's Jews are facing difficult choices.
20. Austrians are panicking because od islamic influence.
Peter ,   Washington   (06.20.11)
21. #15 B-scot: History lesson for you
Thomas ,   USA   (06.20.11)
Americans are ignorant about world History beyond WWII. and connected subject. Marxist Jews supported the Soviet Union during the 67's war against Israel - (I was still E. European at that time) - and the Arab "revolutionary" movements. For the Marxist Jews Israel was a "Lackey of the American Imperialism" against the interest of the "World Proletariat". Ask about this SEIU's Andy Stern, Feingold and the American Jewish elite: they still hold the same belief today. Anglo-Jews and Ivrit speaking sabra Jews have nothing in common and the religious-emotional ties will fade over time. After that the American Marxist Jewry like the Weiners, "Bawny Fwank" the N.Y. Times will be on their own to face the new America.
22. To: Devorah at No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.20.11)
Rashid is not "Palestinian." He is as Jewish as you and I and, while I cannot prove it, I think he is a Brit. He is a delightful breath of fresh air. I look for his posts all the time.
23. Israel bashers, get a clue.
John Prophet ,   of Light   (06.20.11)
Israel has threatened to wipe no one off the face of the earth, they have no charter promising the elimination and death of any society. Only the easily brainwashed are blinded by the hate and venom of Islamic fascism, the true offspring of the Nazis. Hate mongers all.
24. #1 Hakim
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (06.20.11)
Jews in America do not preach hatred, death and bloodshed, do not turn themselves into suicide bombers and don't turn their synagogues into places of incitement or weapons storage. That's the difference. But you wouldn't know it. Also I suggest you get a bit more specific about the country you live in else the postman may bneve rfind you.
25. Americans support for us is growing
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.20.11)
The more radical the Muslims become the more Americans become pro-Israel. Once the Muslims push too far, they will begin to understand Americans. The only reason they still exist is because they are not a big enough threat. But once they are, well they can ask the American Indians what happens when American ire is raised.
26. YESHUALAYIN
YESHUALAYIN ,   YESHUALAYIN   (06.20.11)
the earth is the tangible substance,extracted metals from soil and transformation through fire glowing fire the imagination of man,thus was born the alchemy of distillation led to the discovery of new elements and sowed the seeds of scientific chemistry,man has become a geological force and flying excavating,draining and filling to such an extent that in many places their relentless efforts have exposed to the ravages of soil erosion,man is part of the vulnerable strata,but forget the search short term benefits,sitting around the fire the primitive ancestors watched the darkness,on occassions perceived glare of the eyes,the darkness that extended beyond the fire was the reign of terror,the haunt of predatory animals and spirits and beasts,the world is a continuos process,a flow in the fire that consumes everything and is constantly changing,fire is a transformation,a process,all the energy surrounding us from the heat of the sun to radiation are the fire
27. Moderate Muslims are a danger to the food supply which they
Rivkah   (06.20.11)
insist must be halal (dedicated to Allah, an idol) for them to buy it. So companies are appeasing that and unbeknownst to Jews and Christians and Messianics, many foods such as Campbell Soups and fresh meats at Costco are halal. If there is a circle H or circle W or Islamic writing on a box or can or container, it is halal and must not be eaten by those who worship YHWH. Isaiah chapters 65 and 66 warn that YHWH will not protect swine eaters and those who eat unclean foods. Halal foods are unclean for those who worship YHWH and eating them causes people to lose their supernatural protections. Isaiah chapter 14 says YHWH will walk His people through the floods and the fires but chapters 65 and 66 say YHWH will not protect swine eaters or those who eat unclean foods. Even vaccines have pig's blood in them to defile them.
28. Here we go again...
Persian CAT   (06.20.11)
once again another example of rabid bigotry and Islamophobia raises its ugly head as another in series of like-minded "Op-eds". I will only cite the author, who said "One of the many dismaying things about anti-Semitism is its lack of originality" in his Anti-Semitism 101, and remember this bigot that citing an isolated event and a report by a couple of like-mined characters do not make the case that Islam and Muslims are launching terror on the US. We have seen these tricks used by notorious bigots and racist to use the same isolated events to paint entire groups of Jews, blacks, American Japanese and so on with wide brush of bigotry and hatred. It seems ynet is more than happy to provide the forum for such bigots to "express themselves" on routine basis.
29. My prediction : America destined for ash-heap of history.
The Swami   (06.20.11)
And fairly quickly at that.
30. #10 Rashid & #22 Sarah
Devorah   (06.20.11)
Rashid - I apologize. Sarah - Thank you.
