Posted in: Jerusalem Patriarch: Israel discriminates against Christians

Oy! So, what else is new? Would the patriarch prefer if Israelis (Jews, Muslims and Christians alike) were blown apart by suicide bombers? Where, oh where is the criticism of all the unbelievable discrimination throughout the Muslim and Arab world? Are they just the victims of low expectations?

Posted in: Rethinking the Holocaust

Perhaps Santomauro is a member of the flat earth society as well? Those who were murdered (6 million) and their descendants are not available to refute any denials. Please, go to Iran and join Ahamandijad.

Posted in: Calif. professor cleared in anti-Israel e-mail

To "thoroughly disgusted" - you are one of the many who i am sure were impressed by the "bravery" of Hamas and Hezbollah over the past few years. I am sure you would also prefer that Israel continue to put up with rockets or suicide bombers and sit passively. I suggest that you work on encouraging the Palestinians to build some sort of civil society instead of striving to attack Jews. Israel can be criticized as any other country can be, but the problem is when no other country is criticized and when Israel cannot defend themselves. Perhaps you can examine the stellar records of human rights by the Palestinians or the entire rest of the Arab and Muslim world.

Posted in: Family allegedly kills teen for collaborating

I eagerly await the cries of outrage at this horrific crime - murder because of collaboration!

Posted in: AJC starts memorial fund for museum guard

Read the article, please! It says 100% goes to the family. Must we be cynical about everything?

Posted in: Recognizing the Holocaust in Arabia

It is not surprising that this came from Morocco. My mother was born in Morocco and emigrated from there in the early 50's. There is a long history of Jews being treated equally and as full citizens in Morocco (though not by the French, who treated Jews and Muslims equally badly).

Posted in: Christian leaders urge Obama for Mideast solution

These Christian leaders have every right to want to look out for their Palestinian Christian brethren. However, I always find it curious how they excuse everything the Islamic terrorists do and how they ignore the plight of Christians in the rest of the Middle East (Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, etc.). Let's be a little even-handed!

Posted in: Left-wing activists mark 'occupation'

I eagerly await protests about occupations in Kashmir and Western Sahara, among other places...

Posted in: Palestinian Gazans fire on Israeli troops

This is an unfortunate example of the box that Israel finds itself in. Ignore these threats and suffer immeasurably. Stop them and there is a great big yawn. Israel needs to continue to protect themselves in this way and ignore any public opinions.

Posted in: Comment on this

To Mr. Parkinson - you are correct on much of this, however you should realize that much of the anti-Zionism is disguised anti-Semitism for the simple reason that Israel is held to a much higher standard than any other country. the fact that you say you are ashamed of Israel's war in southern Lebanon in 2006 or Gaza in 2008 and make no comment about Hezbollah or Hamas, who instigated both wars, is symptomatic of the problems. I often comment back on these talk backs, but this is something we should all do. Thanks.
