2. Munchausen Syndrome
MK ,   NYNY   (03.10.17)
No evidence at all for this narrative with very dubious pictures
3. Being a Jew in Trumpland
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (03.10.17)
It is blatantly apparent that the YNET editorials are now becoming a mirror image of the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and the BBC in their slavish adoption of the anti Trump narrative without any objective facts to establish their viewpoint...a perfect example of using the perennial antisemitic vandalism that has been our lot forever as being only unique to the very short time that Trump has assumed the presidency.
Amazing how all those negatives toward us during the Obama years and obviously part of the Obama agenda are conveniently whitewashed and ignored.
The revelations of the criminal behaviour of the security services under Obama's watch aided and abetted by the even more crooked Clintons as we are now having our eyes opened to with the new revelations of Wikileaks.
I suggest that Ynet and the other left of centre media the JP who are also in thrall to Obama et al should by now be more circumspect in their uncritical coverage of the Obama years.

I was pretty disgusted with the ambassadors Sense of disconnection between Trump and the encouragement of Neo nazi groups to intimidate Jews. I never thought that Israeli officials would play politics when jews are threatened.
5. Trump
John ,   Sunbury   (03.10.17)
Why is the writer picking on Trump? Your title is way off!!! Trump is pro Jewish and a friend of Israel.You liberals are just antiTrump. We won the election, get over it!
6. "Trumpland"
C   (03.10.17)
the perpetrators have not been caught or identified. hence, you have no
idea who is behind them. they are most likely a mix of anarchists,
muslims and far right provocateurs.

the trump administration needs to do all in its power to catch and
prosecute every individual involved in these hate crimes.
7. "false threats"
C   (03.10.17)
how can a threat be false if it terrifies people into evacuating buildings.
the goal of these jew haters has been to terrorise. they have been
successful.
all jewish institutions must have security measures in place.
at the very least, they must have numerous security cameras,
bomb sniffing dogs on premises, adults armed if possible,
armed with pepper spray, and have their phones tapped and
linked to local police or security firms able to track calls.
8. "it began during the presidential campaign"
C   (03.10.17)
i was threatened by a poster about ten years ago telling me that
if israel did not agree to do what was demanded of her, jews
in the diaspora would be targeted.

furthermore, jew hatred, harassments, assaults on american
campuses have been common in the last eight years.
attacks on jews on american and european campuses
are carried out by muslims and their marxist allies.

jew hatred in the us is not new. some very prominent academics
of a certain age could not be accepted by certain top
universities because they were jewish.
jewish children were beaten up on the streets of cities
and called christ killers.
this type of behavior mostly stopped, but the sentiments
remained.
according to fbi statistics, jews are the most persecuted
minority in America.
9. What has this anti-semitism to do with Trump ?
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv / israel   (03.10.17)
10. observant jews did it, to create "antisemitic" wave...
ironbutterfly ,   israel   (03.10.17)
90% of all "antisemitic" "vandalism" is created by jews.
In order to blame others.
This is no different - to label TRUMP antisemitic.
But ALL their crimes is always backfires, one way or another.
11. More Fake News from YNET U cant fool us anymore
PropagandaDaysOver! ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.10.17)
The only person caught making Anti Semitic threats was a Leftist African
American supporter of Bernie Sanders and no doubt before that
of Obama and as far as the Jewish Left goes they are the worsts threat
to the Jewish People and always have been arrogant self righteous
messianic out to save the world Tikon Olam BY FORCE AND SUBTRAFUGE Socialism Communism Anarchism you name the leftist
ism that is and any dirty trick and immoral tactic is valid in their cause.
Very few people in this world believe anything anymore coming
out of any news site and this must be very humiliating and frustrating
for the Leftist Mind Control Crowd Fascists sorry your days are over .
12. Anti Semitism popping up since Trump!
tiki ,   belgium   (03.10.17)
Nonsense! Anti Semitism doesn't begin/start/pop up over night.

What isn't there can't be exposed!

Anti Semitism was in America forever but has been (like in the rest of the world) made 'respectable', cool & legitimate again since Israel, the Jewish State has been named as the source of all problems by Obama/Kerry & Europe.

Since the lie of 'Zionism = Racism = Apartheid = killing Palestinian children = stealing Palestinian lands has become fashionable again in our Universities with 'Israel Apartheid Weeks' as the annual Hate Festival to celebrate it, Jew hate has become legitimate.

But, every cloud has a silver lining.

As long as the Liberal, Progressive Jewish Community thought they were safe in their US bubble and could afford to criticize Israel from far away and according their liberal & progressive standards 'as a Jew, so they have been thrown back to reality that being Jewish in America really means not being accepted 'as a Jew and so, instead of criticizing Israel, defending it would be the better option for one never knows when/if one has to flee the 'Goldene Medineh' and come to the Jewish safe heaven........ISRAEL
13. here we go again with the leftist hate speech
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (03.10.17)
do or say anything to raise money for their Limousine-Liberal lifestyles. That's the Leftist program. Please look at the salaries of executives in ADL. Please google on the PALACE that the SouthernPovertyLawCenter founder (Morris Dees) was living in, in Alabama. With his FIFTH wife.....
14. Home is the best
David Ganot ,   Kiryat Ono, Israel   (03.15.17)
Even with all the warts, there's no place like home
However your enlightened society, pack
your bags and come home.
