1. To much explanation for a simple fact.
tiki ,   belgium   (08.29.15)
6 million Jews were slaughtered for being Jews! 650 thousand Arabs left their houses in the assumption that the same will happen to the Jews of Israel after which they would return to live in a Jew free country. So, no the two are not the same but shame to the van Leer institute and it's 'professor claiming they are!
2. Will you not do same for a good contribution
Miron ,   USA   (08.29.15)
to your pension fund? The aren't doing it for nothing. As far as shoah goes... how many Western Jewish people familiar with it. The surviving bearer of genocide is Soviet Jewish people. Who loves those Communists in the West. They are now a day called worse than Hitler. By none else but USA President.
3. Seared Memories Viscious Cycles

Its not only the Palestinian Refugees that aggravates the Islam. Its the Military Victories of the accursed Jews relegated to Dhimmi Apartheid if they pay the Tax of submission.. All of a sudden the accursed weak people changed into an Army with Victories brilliant generals and officers brave and skilled soldiers and the elite pilots of supersonic jet fighters Now the defeated Dhimmi underclass had teeth iron and could fight back . And so the innate genocide or expulsion Gene is deregulated the Tribalism returns and the people wake from the Internationalist Humanitarian Utopia .
4. Couldn't understand what Ben-Dror is rambling on about
Shachar ,   Eilat   (08.30.15)
A discussion about the Holocaust, Nakba, Memory and National Identity sounds sounds very interesting, even compelling. The fact that there is no comparison between the Holocaust and the Nakba only makes it even more interesting. Both sides have used their tragedies as powerful weapons in the war for world opinion. This war has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with perception. It is well worth debating and studying because we are losing ground in an arena we should be winning in.
5. Another one of these "Jew can do no wrong" cycle ,...
split   (08.30.15)
How about holodomor Mr. Yemini, some of 8-10 million starved to death by artificially created famine a whole segment of the society the Ukrainian peasants gone in one winter 1932/33 conceived and implemented by the Kaganowich-Yagoda duet and their hand picked homies .... can you compare it to holocaust?
6. very simple

i have a stamp it was your hand photo but yours was not my hand photo
7. Absolute proof everyone knows "Palestine" is fictional!
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.31.15)
How come neither "Palestinians" nor their allies object to Iran's nuclear threats against Israel? After all, "Palestinians" reside beside Israelis. A nuclear threat against Israel is also a nuclear threat against "Palestinians". The answer is simple. The real purpose of the "Palestine" issue is to destroy Israel. Since Iranian nukes are consistent with their purpose; neither "Palestinians" nor their allies object to it. Deep inside, "Palestinians", their allies and the world know "Palestine" is fictional.
8. if you think that the Nakba happened in 1948.....
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (08.31.15)
....then we need not worry about you. Because the Nakba for the Arabics happened in the 1830's when the maskilim started writing in Hebrew.
