Nice effort on the part of these Ambassadors, but ultimately it is a waste of time. Israel, as a nation-state, will soon be out of the UN and out of existence; the territory will come most likely under Iranian rule, or perhaps under Turkish rule. Still, the language may have future value for historical researchers.

3. You have to love this Graczek fellow: genocide trolling!
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.05.12)
Threatening genocide as a way of getting a rise out of talkbackers -- it's really quite impressive, if unfortunate.
4. #3, not to insult the poor fellow, but yes his posts do
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.05.12)
tickle me quite a bit. It is strange though. I have never seen an American rooting for the other guy so much.

Hey punk, why do you hang out here, an Israeli Jewish website? Why don't you piss off to some anti-Semitic website and post your BS there?

I'll be visiting family back east soon. Maybe I'll drive down to Maryland and take a brick to graczek's face. That's the ONLY language tards like him understand.

You are now sounding like the Nazis who wanted to set up a Museum of Extinct Peoples. They weren't too kind to Poland, were they? Nor was Russia. May you be happy and healthy in your Fantasyland. Enjoy.
8. Hebrew-speaking diplomats

I actually have seen two examples of Hebrew-speaking diplomats here in Washington, who were not Jewish. One was a Finnish lady diplomat. The other was a former Ambassador to the US from Cyprus. Their Hebrew, as far as I could discern, was fluent. True, both had served in their respective embassies in Israel.

@Graczek: I believe the Egyptians, Romans, and Babylonians probably believed the same thing about the Jews.
10. Irrelevant! Abjad spelling NO soc/cult/econ FOUNDATION !!!

11. Irrelevant?!
Bryan ,   New York, USA   (01.06.12)
@Jerry: you say Hebrew is irrelevant with no social, cultural, or economic foundation?! You don't consider the Hebrew bible to be a foundational document of western civilization? I would argue that it's a lot more relevant than Dutch (and will continue to be long after Dutch is purely a subject of academic discourse).
12. To Graczek
avraham ,   nyc   (01.06.12)
What are you doing in Maryland, Graczek and why are you so bitter? Shouldn't a proud Pole live in Poland? Israel exists for the past 63 years whereas Poland was carved up between three empires and later on between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union and ceased to exist in those times as a nation state. So, I wouldn't be too arrogant if I were you.
13. #11 Bryan. Please see post #16 to Opinion article: Israel's
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (01.06.12)
chemistry crisis. I have a vague feeling it won't do all that much good though. Some people just know it all already. I give up. One more thing, ah forget about it, I'm wasting my time here. I need a proper platform for my ideas. Please, learn to question and open your mind, sei gesund Bryan.
14. Don't feed the troll! No answer, no feedback, just ignore it
Ron   (01.06.12)
That's the best (and only) way of dealing with Internet trolls like this one.
