ab   (12.21.14)
Rumkovski was the leader of the Lodz Ghetto who demanded and got Jewish children sent to Auschwitz,just as Germans had ordered him
2. JEWS NEED SECURITY STRENGTH
ZECHARIAH   (12.21.14)
The Jews being minority in the area by far need iron clad security .Gaza and Hamas show the determination to continue resistance and Fatah is too militant to demilitirize . Its a human nature innate characteristic tribalism territorialism the selfish ego .Only to be mitigated or modulated ultraism is rare .
3. So whats the EU saying about Hamas today?
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (12.21.14)
That Hamas are doing a great job for Gaza? Charter WHAT Charter? Rockets WHAT Rockets? Just fireworks? Tunnels? Hamas say that they are for a Leisure Park? And where has all the EU money gone for REBUILDING? NOT OUR PLACE TO ASK Because for the new brooms in the EU its easier to IGNORE Hamas treatment of Gazans, pander to Hamas Lies and Crocodile Tears, and just blame Israel And so the EU perpetuate Gaza misery by their velvet glove approach and implicit 'technical support' for Hamas on the one hand and their iron fist approach to Israel Not so EU Even Handed then Either way GAZA LOSES
4. Three enemies
Avraham ,   Jerusalem   (12.21.14)
As a Jew, Israeli and the writer, I am ashamed to live with such so called Jewish "intellectuals" in the same country. It is especially wrong to call them zionists. On the contrary, they are real and dangerous anti-zionist elements!
5. Never have book-burning been more defendable! One could of
(12.21.14)
course proceed straight to the Authors. It has been done before and we still talk to the Spaniards, right?
6. Commenting the article....
Joya ,   Israel   (12.21.14)
This article is not about A.B. Yehoshua, Amos Oz and David Grossman. They are writers not prodigies. It doesn't matter how Italians, Greeks, or Turkish want to call them. - Neither about Mahmoud Abbas saying that he believes everybody can call Israel a Jewish State as long the Israeli Knesset do not approve the Zeev Elkins Nationality Bill. Weinstein, Rivlin & Arens rejected the popular nationality bill. Livni and Lapid rejected It too. They aren't prodigies neither. - All of them, politicians and intelectualls as well, told you through the manipulative media, that passing the nationality bill would had been perceived as Anti-Zionist, Anti-Patriot, Anti-Democracy. They reject it, ironically there isn’t even a hint of criticism of that attitude. After all, Two States living side by side living in peace and security could be also two Jewish States, one very Jew and religious, the other one, more jiloni but democrat with Arabs Palestinians, but not necessarily a Palestinian state.
7. Rumkowski
Jerry1800 ,   NL   (12.21.14)
Rumkowski´s history was more complex than your description. My family was in the Lodzer Ghetto.
8. Intellectuals
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (12.21.14)
So often academics make the wrong call -- the 'designers' of the Final Solution had many PhD's among them, while Winston Churchill who never went to university embodied common sense, courage and strength. Israeli intellectuals who support those most against Israel are just short-sighted and stupid. If we are not Prophets, we are the descendants of Prophets, and we see through these intellectuals..
