31. Does the media have to keep on showing this creature's face?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.30.12)
32. Propaganda?
Eddie Baron ,   Hamburg, Gremany   (03.30.12)
How many languages do you speak, Mr. Kirsh? I am German, and I've read countless "The Muslim is a victim" articles in the press of my country. I read them every day, and I'm sick of them!
33. Morah was killed without trial
jushua ,   morocco   (03.30.12)
Although we fill very sorry for killing of innocents anywhere in the world, Morah as well was murdered by french police without trial. this woudn't have happened if the murderer was a Zionist or an extrimist christian. Simply because that 's an arab or muslin. this is the case in Gazza where wedaily the killing of palestinian children by the tsahal. same thing in afganistan, pakistan, iraq, ... the muslims are not so stupid as Menahem Begin - believed.
34. Another insight Gerstenfeld article
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.30.12)
This is another insightful article by Manfred Gerstenfeld who perhaps more than any other writer has revealed the character of the continuing element of Anti- Semitism in European societies.
35. Sergio Romano actually takes it one step further
William ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
"Fifteen years ago he claimed in a book that the Jews cause renewed anti-Semitism by emphasizing Holocaust remembrance." Actually, it's worse than this. What Romano is saying that massive anti-semtism today is due to (and justified by) the forced remembrance of histories most heinous act of anti-semitism. In other words, Romano says it's justified today to be anti-semitic because Jews dare raise the alarm about anti-semitism in the hope that mankind does not again commit such an atrocity (on any ethnic group). Romano's opinion is akin to justifying continued rapes and murders by a criminal because we dare label him as a rapist and a murderer, rather than let him devolve into his own fantasy of being a wonderful human.
36. #7 - true perhaps, except....
William ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
the belief that Muslims condone this type of racist violence and terrorism will not be dispelled until MUSLIMS vocally condemn this type of action, especially by "Palestinians" themselves and not just the radical "Merahs" of the world. Until that happens, it is justified to consider Muslims as quietly accepting such behavior.
37. #4 - the "Palestinians" will name a street after Merah
William ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
and the European Left will consider him a misunderstood person who released his frustration against his poor situation.
38. #22 - re: White Christian males...
William ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
That's what happens against those who dominate history and are successful. Socialists try to tear them down and make them the source of all the world's ills. Nevermind that the Chinese were historical occupiers in much of Asia, the Arabs were big time colonialists and occupied (and still do) large portions of land, and took many Black Africans, women, and kids as their slaves. Somehow in the Euro-centric liberal mind, only White men have done anything wrong.
39. #33 - try firing a gun at police and see what happens
William ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
Merah didn't die after he was arrested. He died as he fired a hail of bullets at police, even as he jumped out the window. He put everyone's lives in danger, and one police officer lost his foot as a result. Merah was shot from self-defense. Your claim otherwise shows how sub-human you are. Your claim that the IDF target children ever is also proof of your moral deficiency, disproven by the many Intl groups and militaries that cite the IDF's careful actions in urban warfare as a reason more are not killed when used as human shields by terrorists.
40. #33 - "Morah killed without a trial"
William ,   Israel   (03.30.12)
You mean, like his victims?
41. #33 jushua
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.30.12)
Would you mind telling us who instructed him to resist arrest, which was the cause of his demise
42. Oy vey ;) ,...
split ,   US   (03.30.12)
They hijacking your eternal victimhood entitlement and the benefits coming with it, how dare they ;) ,...
43. #42 Split - They didn't lose 6 million, we did
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.30.12)
44. # 33 Your stupditity is showing
Don ,   Indy USA   (03.31.12)
By not surrendering, he forefeited his trial.. You sound like most of the other 80 % illiterate muslims.
45. Eurabia
chantalle.ezer ,   Frankfurt Germany   (03.31.12)
The apologies are a reflex of the Western world and a strong indicator that we have have already surrendered to Muslim radicals. The media in Europe will continue applauding everyone who is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. Tarqi Ramadan in distant Oxford university is out of touch with Muslim reality. His peers imported the Middleeast conflict and the Middle Ages into Europe and we accommodated with it. C. Ezer
46. Did you see evidence he was killer? Feel free to share.
Miron ,   USA   (04.01.12)
47. as simple as that
daniela ,   panama   (04.01.12)
as long you don´t see what is the real problem you don´t resolve it. That is what is happening in Europe, US and mostly in the Muslim world. That is why we seem to walk on rounds and come back to the same old problems of anti antisemitism and anti israelism . To blame the victim is one of those things. And it has been like that for centuries. For sure it is the easiest way out. But be sure it will come back at you. As it is happening now . Unfortunatelly we will see many others Mohammads claiming that because of Israel, because of the jews, because they did not get the same opportunities, because they don´t have the right color, or because they don´t have the right name..doing what this monster has done.
48. @47 what the heck is "simple" about extrajudicial execution?
Miron ,   USA   (04.01.12)
Save your pity for your ilk, morons. Israel and Jewish nation has courts, jurists and justice. And Iron Dome, if you and your "healthcare expert" think up something funny. Go Democratize someone easier on your teeth.
