1. the World Zionist Organization?

You have to be joking!
2. Here's a novel idea to stop antisemitism
Leon ,   Algonquin Land   (01.29.12)
Stop stealing land and building illegal Jews only settlements. Stop bombing your neighbours whenever you feel "threatened." Follow and enforce international law. These three simple actions would greatly enhance Israel's image on the international stage.
3. Telling The Truth Is Not Anti-Semitic
World Citizen ,   the world   (01.29.12)
This is not about being against the Jewish people. This is not about being against the Jewish religion. This is about the wrongs the Israeli government is doing to the original, indigenous population of Palestine. What thinking Israelis need to consider is that there cannot be a pure Jewish state in Palestine. To have this means that you, as a society, will have expel all of the Palestinian people. This will require the Israeli people to go to a very dark ideological place. Do you want to go there?
4. Israeli left is far more dangerous than foreign Jew haters.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.30.12)
It wasn't foreign Jew haters who drove Israel from Sinai, Gaza and much of Judea and Samaria. It was Israeli leftists. Israel suffered, and still suffers incalculably because of these lunatic retreats. It wasn't foreign Jew haters who freed more than 1,000 murderous terrorists. It was brought about by Israeli leftists. It wasn't foreign Jew haters who inflicted Oslo on Israel; the worst self inflicted wound by any nation in history. Again, it was Israeli leftists. Israel can be strong. We needn't worry about foreign Jew haters. However, we desperately need for the vast patriotic Jewish majority to take the reins of power in Israel.
5. Numbers 2 and 3: Just go to the talkback
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (01.30.12)
section of Maan to gain a perspective on Jew hatred. In spite of your ravings, it's apparent that Jew hatred has now disguised itself as demonization of the state of Israel and its policies. Here's one illustration: Both of you bother yourselves posting on this website as opposed to engaging in the real, poignant problems, now faced in the Mideast: For example, the terrible consequences faced by the people of Syria in trying to overthrow dictator Assad or the continuing infringement of liberties faced by the general population of Iran vis a vis Iran`s military and mullahs. And, by the way, Leon, appending your address as Àlgonquin Land`really suggests that you are a complete flake.

Did you realize that the enemies of the tiny Jewish state reside on over 99.9% of Middle East land (the miniscule rest being Israel), that their military personnel and hardware vastly outnumbers that of Israel? There is a reason for Israel to be strong and to maintain its strength, and there is a reason for Israel to defend itself the way it does. Maybe its too hard for you to understand this, but its all about survival when you are than tiny surrounded by whacked out giants. BTW the land Israel builds on is not being stolen from anyone or anyone or an country.. Can you show legal title to that land you claim belongs to someone else??
7. (2) a novel idea to stop antisemetism...
tiki ,   belgium   (01.30.12)
Shut the morons & simple minds up. Believe me, that's the only way. People like you should start getting in line.
8. Thank you #2
Igor ,   Germany   (01.30.12)
Anti-Semites masquerading as Anti-Zionists always claim that there is no connection between their stance and anti-Semitism. Thank you for proving them wrong.
9. Thank you #3
Igor ,   Germany   (01.30.12)
In case you didn't notice, the article is about anti-Semitism. Thank you for proving that anti-Zionists, when they "criticize" Israel, actually mean the Jews. BTW. the original, indigenous population of "Palestine" is the one that has been mentioned in 2000+ years-old documents and archeological artifacts. Its the population which can actually read these documents. Are you a Christian? Have you ever wondered, why Pontius Pilates decided to write the alleged title of Jesus in Hebrew, but not in Arabic?
10. Only one real way to stop anti-semitism...
Jon ,   NV USA   (01.30.12)
and that is to get at the roots of antisemitism. The modern roots of anti-semitism date back to the early days of the Roman Catholic Church. If one is to deal with the crux (no pun intended) of the matter - then one has to have a serious dialogue with the Vatican with regards to how Jews will be portrayed in future by the Church. In effect - the Catholic Church must firmly (as never before) and through papal proclamation if possible - and through the most formal issuance possible make it clear to all of the faithful that Jews as a group cannot be treated with disdain over the Jesus narrative in the Christian bible. It may sound rather opaque - what I am suggesting - but if one really gives it some thought - it is not enough to simply deal with the symptoms of the disease of anti-semitism - it is time now for Jews to address the root cause. Thid is the only really longterm permanent solution.
11. Information
montlasky ,   South Africa   (01.30.12)
At last! An Israeli information center that has financial backing to the extent that if the funds are well spent, we may at long last have a real mechanisim to fight propaganda emanating from the rest of the world, against us which up until now has been virtually undefended!
12. Try to involve people whose passion..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (01.30.12)
is Jewish history,hence being able with full knowledge of the facts,to unmask the tissue of antisemitic lies.
