1. What an idiot.
Zvvi   (12.03.11)
2. Oh, really
Jake Stone ,   USA   (12.03.11)
3. This guy is an idiot!
Z.Z. Coltrane ,   USA   (12.03.11)
Muslim's anti-Semitism goes a whole lot deeper than the Palestinian Lie (a cheap political pawn). The Arabs' hate goes way back in Biblical time. Their hate has one purpose, regardless of the reason, to destroy Israel! Plain-and-simple. God bless Israel! Christian Zionist
4. Sick jokes
Beauchard   (12.03.11)
First sick joke: Yes all those Muslim demonstrators in Belgium and Holland who chant, "Hamas, Hamas, all Jews to the gas" are actually trying to solve the problem of antisemitism. By killing all Jews you will be destroying antisemitism. Second sick joke: Howard Gutman
5. arabs are semite too !!
ALI ,   iraq baghdad   (12.03.11)
how can an arab be anti-semitic !
6. Appeasement doesn't work.
Jules   (12.03.11)
7. This is a good article
Sarah B , ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.03.11)
I agree with the sentiments... We can change all this. Maybe we can be the architects of a good future instead of hating all the time.
8. He's absolutely right
Robert ,   Australia   (12.03.11)
Any nation that regards itself superior is destined for a fall. Stunned?, how blind is it possible to get?
9. Thanks Mr. Gutman ,...

10. Nothing new under the sun
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.03.11)
King Solomon had it about right. This is nothing more than good old-fashioned Jew hatred, couched in "anti-Zionism" and "anti-Israel" expression. I guess it makes these virulent anti-Semites feel a little bit better about themselves and their preturnaturally irrational hatred of the Jewish people. Why someone might prefer a violent, uneducated bunch of Arab thugs who have not contributed anything to civilization since algebra to the Jewish people, who have never ceased to make massive contributions to humankind is a little difficult to understand, but there you have it. Sometimes, I wonder what would happen were Jews to reclaim all their contributions and share them exclusively with Jews. People would start dying of polio and tuberculosis left, right and center. Need a pacemaker? Tough. Lipstick? Sorry. Pinch your lips and make them bleed; you'll get red lips. Wear jeans? Oh, heavens no. Find something else. Got cancer? Well, check with the ersatz "Palestinians" and find out what chemotherapy protocols they've developed lately. Nuclear power? Ooops, no! That's ours, too. Dismantle all your visual recognition equipment at airports -- that's ours. Good luck with all the Arab terrorists that will soon flood your countries. Need an MRI? Well, too bad. The list goes on and on and on. But you can keep algebra. It is nothing short of amazing that the Europeans -- or anyone else, for that matter -- would blame Israel for being attacked by Arabs six times (I guess it offends their sensibilities that Israel won, each time) and would blame Israel for having had to endure seven decades of unrelenting terror, but I have a great way to teach them what it's like. Let's pack up every single ersatz "Palestinian" and Arab living within Israel's borders and ship them, en masse, to Europe. I cheerfully guarantee you that they will not like it one little bit. But at least they will learn what it is like, and perhaps -- as European "culture" descends into the endless Islamic morass -- they might reconsider their irrational hatred of Jews. But it makes no never mind to me if they do not. European "culture" is on the skids, anyway. About time.
11. IDIOT?...........................................#3
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.03.11)
Sometimes,it is wise to hear the words rather than abusing the person who addresses you.You will see traces of wisdom.
12. Ooops! He's Jewish, my bad: I've missed that part!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.03.11)
-this kind of articles makes me so angry, that I loose my eyesight!
13. Learn your history, Ambassador.
John   (12.03.11)
Muslim hatred of Jews goes back 1,700 years. Only an uneducated ambassador on the conflict would hold it to be central to anti-Semitism.
14. #5 Exactly!
Igor ,   T"A   (12.03.11)
You, Arabs, cannot be anti-Semitic, it's illogical. But you are! How do you manage it? I don't don't know and I don't care. I guess, your ignorance helps.
15. 5 arabs not anti-semitic, they just hate jews
(12.03.11)
16. #5 Arabs are antisemitic because "antisemitism" means...
Sceptique ,   France   (12.03.11)
anti-Jews and not anti-Arabs. Open an dictionary.
17. Gutman says out loud what the Obama Administration thinks.
Eytan Leibovitz ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.03.11)
This, again, is clear proof that BHO only wants a rapprochement with the Arab world, at the expense of Israel, even if the Arab world and Iran are dedicated to Israel's annihilation. When BHO went to visit Mubarak in Egypt, BHO could've afterwards simply hop on Air Force 1 and fly to Israel. But BHO preferred not to make this simple gesture, for fear of "What will the Arabs say". The simple truth is that Israel is on her own against both the Arab world and Iran. BHO's isolationist policies just prove that Obama and his administration have long ago decided to push Israel under the bus. The only reason why BHO is helping out Israel militarily, is because Congress is breathing in his neck. BHO cannot be trusted. BHO's game is simple: provide Israel with state-of-the art weaponry...as long as Israel isn't allowed to use it in order to survive. Sanctions cannot stop the irrational regime in Tehran. The Iranian leadership consider it their duty to annihilate Israel. Obama and the whole of his administration can kiss my @$$. BHO couldn't care less of Israel's security: he only wants to be elected. He will do anything in order to be re-elected. If BHO gets a second term, he will screw Israel to the bone.
18. to #5, #14 et al antisemitism
elzeide ,   Buenos Aires   (12.03.11)
Please ... Open a Dictionary. Of course arabs are semites, but antisemitism has a clear and differente meaning. Second, the man that gave the conference looks as a complete idiot. " Appeasement doesn't work. "
19. #7 Suggestion..Crawl back under your rock
Mark ,   Lodz,Poland   (12.03.11)
20. 'legalisation of anti Judaism.....
tiki ,   belgium   (12.03.11)
especially when provided & advocated by a Jewish American Ambassador. What a gift to the Israel/Jew haters and what a shame for America to have this klotz as their representative.
21. Is Gutman an anti-semite?
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (12.03.11)
One of the biggest issues recently around here in Europe are attempts to justify hate and anti-semitism! BUT There is NO JUSTIFICATION!!!!!
22. I won't vote for Obama again
American ,   MIami   (12.03.11)
23. Hey American Jews
nadav ,   tlv   (12.03.11)
still voting for Obama next year? After this Court Jew just publicly explained Obama's take on Israel and Panetta blaming Israel for all the problems in the Mideast, does anyone need anymore explanation on why Obama needs to leave the office asap?! We need a republican in the office !
24. What's the apologists excuse for Arab pogroms before Israel?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (12.03.11)
Morocco a thousand years ago? Safed 200 years ago? Hebron massacre? Arabs opening fire on Jews praying at the Kotel " because it was an insult to Islam?
25. Gutman
Revenge   (12.03.11)
This is another appeaser who thinks if he bend his knees to our enemies, they will let him go. Maybe he should be go back to history where he would see tha antisemitism in the muslim world is older than the conflicts with the Palestinians/Arabs. Gutman let us know your explanation on that. As long this president is around, we will have this kind of american ambassadors around. So think about it next time you will vote.
26. Mr. B.H.Obama sends his emissaries abroad to spread
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.03.11)
his mentor's Rev. J. Wright's views of the Jews: They are responsible for the evil that has been befallen them, and they are the perpetrators of anti-Jewish racism in the world. And, in the US he sends, with a similar message, Mr. Panetta to accuse the Jews, i.e. the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, of lack of peace and for Iran's drive for hegemony in the region. And some naive Jews still intend to vote for him...
27. The post at No. 7 is not mine
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.03.11)
Needless to say.
28. # 7 is NOT from Sarah B.
Moragh   (12.03.11)
Sarah does not use two (2) comas after her name! Try something else, honey!
29. #5 Arabs are also "Simits"
Yoav ,   Germany   (12.03.11)
say who?! Do you have any evidences that you can present?! Brother will never kill his brother, but you people not only killed you "simit" brother, you massacred whole you "famalies". I canĀ“t hear and read this shit that you are simits, cuz this is bull.s...t you know it by yourself
30. Gutman, Paneta,...its still Obama's fingrprint.
Ayeush ,   Gibraltar   (12.03.11)
The similarities of content, the timing, the actual disconnect of any historical analyses which disprove the Gutman's observations, prove that there is a definite policy in the White House to try and blame Israel for the innimity USA is facing steadfastly by the Arabo-Muslim world, and its ever more facile to accuse Israel for such a dismal loss of American prestige. It is all clear as to the few pillars of Obama's defence-attack against the Jewish voters who might choose to defect to Republican platform. Mr Obama, you are not an imminent thinker, you got wrong advisers.
