Jeffrey ,   U.K.   (10.27.13)
This man started off as a leftist student rabble rouser.He then went into politics . He has been a disaster for U.K. and is detested here.following a self admitted policy of swamping Britain with immigrants .Millions "mainly Muslim" have altered the demographic here. This is not surprising as his constituancy Blackburn has a Muslim majority. He had a Jewish grandfather and uses the fact to show his Immigrant empathy.

freeWorld   (10.27.13)
Mr. Straw could have called for the liberation of the people from the Iranian oppression. Iran's leaders have been deploying forces to kill millions of people in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Egypt, the Sinai....

Petra ,   EU, on the road   (10.27.13)
All of us must begin to take a note of this development in Europe that, for centuries, has been the epicentre of anti-Semitism.
42. # 10 Of course it is!
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.27.13)
If his statements were addressing Muslims, I wonder how well they'd receive it without terror as an answer? Thrilled that Jewish money is the ruination of Syria, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, etc. etc. Where do I send my millions to aid in their campaign? The best use of Jewish money spent, yet.!!!! BUILD YER BALLS OFF !!!! It's only money!

44. # 23 thanks Brits for helping establish the US
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.27.13)
And to think that originally America was just another 'colony' of settlers, pioneers, religious protestors who would be the refuge of Jews, Christian, Buddhists, Hindu's and, unfortunately, later on Mad assed murderous Muslims.... Like the one currently 'occupying' the White House. GET EVEN BUILD A MIGHTIER ISRAEL.!! IT WILL SAVE JEWISH LIVES.

Simcha ,   NYC USA   (10.27.13)
Off with his head!!!! So wrong in so many ways. I hope he lives to see his wife and other female relatives forced to wear an abbaya when the radical Muslims take over England. Curious to know the reaction of others in attendance for his remarks.
49. #34 Friend of Israel Love ya!
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.27.13)
Thanks and shalom friend. Glad your troubles are over... Wish Israels were. BUILDING A BIGGER, BETTER, ISRAEL !!!! THE JEWS ARE COMING HOME!!!!
50. #4 - yes me...
Brian ,   London   (10.27.13)
... and many others. There is a huge pro-Israel lobby. Regretfully most politicians are spineless and sit on the fence. Britain does not have anything to offer the world politically and diplomatically, so they spout off politically correct remarks to make them feel like they conduct themselves morally. Just continue to ignore them and fight your own battles. This also means taking responsibility for the Israeli part in the conflict and doing what has to be done to move towards resolution. Blaming the other is a sign of weakness.
51. it is antisemitic
david ,   boston, usa   (10.27.13)
Its anti semitic because he blames the jews and jewish organization. The reality in the us is there is tremendous support for israel from the christian evangelicals. Much bigger support than jews in u.s. was that mentioned? Not in this article, but what about his speach. I would call some left wing jews as self hating nuts, but that's my opinion. What I don't know is what was left out of this article. Sounds anti semitic reading this about straw though.
52. To #4 Rotem
Gideon Reader   (10.27.13)
Yes. I spent many years in the U.K. and I can assure you that there are absolutely hundreds of Brits who are not anti Israel. Nor anti Jewish. Hundreds.
53. Say is aint so. Another Brit Minister,...
Gideon Reader   (10.27.13)
...who is anti Jewish (read anti Israel) as well. Who could have suspected such a thing? I personally think it is early public scool buggering by upper classmen thaat so addles their thought processes. Poor Jack. Tough to find out that your best pen name should be P.D.Rast.
54. 21 your answer is #22
Urani Diot   (10.27.13)
Spouting nonsense as truth to demonize an entire people is racist hate speech, and in this case, anti-semitism.
55. #35 and therein (your question) lies the answer.
Urani Diot   (10.27.13)
Using bovine scatology in place of fact to demonize a faith or race is discrimination, and in this case, anti-semitism. Newsflash: the Protocols are Russian fiction.
56. Jack Straw-man in search of a brain
Urani Diot   (10.27.13)
His old one fell out.
57.  Ha! thats a real laugh. UK sold lock & stock
ky   (10.27.13)
Today on Sky here in the UK we had a Asian ex Tory minister promoting Islamic finance for Britain as a way out of its economic problems. It was greeted with great enthusiasm by the program presenter. Many politicians in the UK are now actually in the pockets of someone who is promoting this agenda. UK is being sold lock stock and barrel
58. Straw another anti-semite.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.27.13)
Straw of Jewish ancestry is an anti-semite. The reason the United States supports a strong Israel is because Israel is the only reliable ally the United states has in the middle east. Even obama believes and knows this fact. Straw represents a long line of English anti-semites who have romantic notions of the arabs and a return of the english empire. These English appeaser, anti-semites have no sense of right and wrong and support evil.
59. Straw, Chamberlain, choose shame got war.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.27.13)
History repeats itself, chamberlain, the appeaser tried to appease Hitler. Chamberlain had to choose between shame and war., Chamberlain chose shame and got war. Many of the appeasers in england before and during world war 2, looked for a scapegoat, the Jews. Straw is frustrated, he is looking for a scapegoat, again the Jews.
60. It is anti-Semitic
Adrian ,   Los Amgeles   (10.27.13)
#10, #21, #22 anyone else who is unaware. The accusation that Jews "control the world" and any country but their own and manipulate world affairs behind the secs is straight out of the fake Anti-Semitic 19th century book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The same goes for the idea that Jews have tons of money.The Protocols halve been revived in the Arab world 100 years after it died out in Europe. It is a complete double standard anda lie to blame Jews for lack of peace in the Middle East. What is really being said is there is no peace because Jews ares till there and doing pretty well in their sovereign country? Zionism is the national liberation movement that madet his happen. Some Arabs are mad and envious, but it is time to make the best of it and get on with life and benefit perhaps.
