31. 2nd holocaust
chaim witz   (04.18.12)
In fact, the holocaust never stopped. It only faced surviving jews who reacted to it and forced it to pause. There is no 2nd holocaust, there is an ongoing holocaust.
32. #30 Cameron, you know Israel can't act without Obama's okay.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.18.12)
But that doesn't mean they won't surprise everyone and do it anyway. Keep the popcorn handy.
33. to #1 the same reason Haj amin al husseini
ghostq   (04.18.12)
made the arabs leave their houses, so he can have better aim to hit and hurt jews, that is y Nasralla asked from arabs to leave Haifa during the second Lebanon war, cause one of the rockets he fired killed an arab guy in his car, he was on his way to work.
34. Possible noly if.....
calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (04.18.12)
All they (anti -Semitism) can do and organize with all hatred they have.... In the 21st Century only if the Jews lie to themselves that their enemies is friends. Focus, watch over and protect your Heart - Jerusalem
35. Reliance on Oceania; blaming self-hating Jews; threats to..
TaylorT ,   Earth   (04.18.12)
...take the world with you if you go down. Do you people ever listen to yourselves? You're like a bunch of mental patients in an asylum trying to figure out the best way to take on the nurses. What Israel needs to do is what was mentioned upthread. Israel needs to stop the occupation. It's the occupation that makes Israel lose the moral high-ground, it's the occupation that is causing Israel to rip itself apart from the inside, it is the occupation which unites Israel's enemies, it is the occupation which has cost Israel the support of Europeans. I'm sure this will be confusing for the devorahs and Ben Jabos out there...and others who believe the fairy tales the Israeli far-right tells itself. Again, it's the occupation that makes people hate Israel (Israelis who show little appreciation for those who help them and Israelis who threaten to try to 'take the world with them' if Israel is attacked are a distant second to the occupation as the reason why people hate Israel.)

37. #35 TaylorT, Earth
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.18.12)
Occupation of what? There has never been an Arab state or nation called "Palestine" in the Middle East. Or do you have different information?
38. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.18.12)
Iran's Mad Mullahs plan another Holocaust. They have said so many times. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
39. #35
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (04.18.12)
Show me any Arab leader who agrees with you. None do. All the Arab leaders agree that there can be no peace when Israel exists. Some (Hamas, Brotherhood, Jihad) say all Jews must be physically exterminated. Some (Fatah, Assad, Hussein) don't say what they will do with the Jews. So even if anything in your letter was true (none is), it would not help us: not "moral high ground" and not "European support". And that is the point, a win-win situation. If we stop the "occupation" we will be dead and the Jew haters happy. If we keep the "occupation", the Jew-haters have an excuse.
40. First holocaust is possible # 3
reza shah ,   tehran   (04.18.12)
why asking for a second your nightmares are not possible dreams no matter what the Data in your brain The facts of what will be are different than what you saying
41. Holocaust
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (04.18.12)
People who believe that their sacred duty is to kill Jews, and who celebrate suicide bombers as martyrs, will certainly use nuclear weapons, or any other weapons of mass destruction, to perpetrate another Holocaust. The issue of whether or not they acquire weapons of mass destruction is a considered to be a subject for discussion by the non-Muslim world, but it is more than that for Israel. It is a matter of survival. The gap between those two perspectives is enormous. It is a much simpler matter to anguish over a Holocaust that has already occurred, than it is to face up to one that is in the offing, but has not yet happened.
42. to 27
(04.18.12)
but jews still speak hebrew
43. To N 3, Mr's Sarah B
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (04.19.12)
Dear lady. I agree with the expression "if Israel goes down, we all go down". Not only Europe or North America, or Oceania, but the entire civilized and democratic world. In fact, Iranian Ayatullahs must be stopped; if necessary, through military forces. You, Jews, are not isolated any more. The world has changed very much since the ashes of II World War. Humanistic conscience has increased. Of course, Israel is your country at first, but she belongs, at second, to us, loyal friends, renewed Christians. Warm salutes, again.
44. As a second strike, Israel should target
jason white ,   afula, israel   (04.19.12)
mecca, medina, qom and any other religious cities of islam. Also major arab population centers as well.
45. @44 I'm starting to like you Mr. White...
Jill Masterson ,   Miami   (04.19.12)
more than anyone I've known in a long, long time.
46. to
huaasin ,   KSA   (04.19.12)
We must learn from history - the Holocaust occurred when the - all countries in the world of silence - more than 6 million Jews genocide - so - Israel - move individually - a nuclear Iran, Hamas means - nuclear - it is very dangerous ...
47. #46 huassin, it's a shame that not everyone thinks like you.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.19.12)
48. #35. Israel "occupies" her own land.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.19.12)
#35. Israel's enemies tried to destroy Israel from the day Israel declared statehood, in 1948.. Long before Israel liberated Judea and Samaria, in 1967. Israels "occupation" of her own 3,500 year old heartland of Judea and Samaria has nothing to do with the aims of our genocidal enemies.
49. #35 Taylor T
Phil ,   Ireland   (04.19.12)
Do you ever listen to yourself? You shoot your mouth off about occupation without knowing what you are talking about. The Arab world views ALL of Israel as occupation. That's why there were wars in 1948 and 1967 before what the rest of the world thinks is the "occupation". That's why the Arab states in 1967 said no peace, no recognition and no negotiation. That's why you will only find maps of Palestine in Arab countries with no mention of Israel. Your bitterness and ungratefulness has taken away your logic and reason.
50. Any comments on 44-45?
TaylorT ,   Earth   (04.19.12)
Because it's comments like these that make Israelis (and their hard-core US supporters) look bad. Or do people here think it's okay to talk about killing large number of Arab civilians? Here's a chance to speak up. You don't want to appear as blood-thirsty, wannabe genocidal war-mongers, do you? No, I'm sure you don't. That would play too well in with the stereotypes people have of you.
51. #50 when did allah die and appoint you as his replacement?
(04.19.12)
52. Holocaust Never Ended
michael ,   Ny USA   (04.19.12)
Now, instead of industrial scale extermination, we are being culled one at a time.World is trying to destroy our will. Its not a physical holocaust but a mental one.
53. For Years
Yitzhak ,   TA   (04.19.12)
I have for years maintained that a second Shoah will take place within my lifetime (I am 44). If it is not the Arabs, it will be the Christians. They hate us. They have always hated us. They always will hate us.
54. #50 Taylor T. Stereotyped
Phil ,   Ireland   (04.19.12)
Ah, there you go. When Israelis threaten innocent Arabs, then the do-gooders cry and shout. But when the shoe is on the other foot so to speak, they are silent. Do you justify the killing of innocent Israelis by your silence? You are the stereotypical Israel basher.
55. to 50
42   (04.19.12)
my comment is before 44 and 45 .. it is true . they speak hebrew
56. #50 - TaylorT the Fool
Devorah   (04.19.12)
Thanks for admitting that we are stereotyped.
57. The most persecuted people in all History
John Casterline ,   Omaha   (04.19.12)
Thats why Jews endure such hell . Maybe its best to react to the Rockets and murders and the persecution. You remind me of all the Liberal Jews here in America. Stop trying to be better than those who want you dead .. What was Moses saying to a flower picking Liberal named Joshua who would not fight ?????? Being a Liberal will make you very dead. That ok I am better than you Mr Terrorist - You may murder my children now .
58. To 53 So very untrue
Israel Volunteer ,   Boston USA   (04.19.12)
Every year a huge number of Christians arrive in Israel to work as volunteers on your Military bases . I am one of those people. Go to Tzrifin and tell all the Christians working like Mules to defend your Nation how much you hate them . You will be very unhappy there . You will see Christians and Jews loving each other very much . You will be very unhappy . I feel sorry for you. I really do.
59. to 53
42   (04.19.12)
i am 64 the last 20 years make from me another person . iam wiser than the first 44 years and i thank god that gave me this opurtunity to live otherwise if i was dead in 44 may i will be in hell
60. to no 9
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (04.20.12)
As being so enlightenned and all, would you be so kind Cindy in Canada, to enlighten Us, simple folk, what exactly is, that Israel "DOES" and "not Is", that "brings out the worst out of the terrorism", such as the palestinian chamas, fattah, etc...? To me as a "right-wing talkbacker", your diatrab is really confusing..But if I would be a " left wing talkbacker", I am sure, I would be clear on everything you say...You are soooo smart !...Do they have many more such geniuses in your neighborhood ?
