Ordinarily , I would not reply to an illiterate fool such as you. If you have been reading current events as you should before opening your mouth, you would know the answer to your nastily stated question. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 SIXTY-FOUR, sixty and four, 64 Years to correct this Nazi injustice. These people should have been given medals of honor. Wow. Whatever happened to 'de-Nazification'? A total flop. Of course, we often see these 'rehabilitated' Nazis in these comments and at the head of various EU governments such as Sweden, Germany, Britain, France, SPAIN, etc., etc., etc. as the King would say (The King & I). 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The Swedish government is clearly composed of anti-Semitic money hungry and oil hungry liars. These is no 'freedom of the press' issue here. There is a government responsibility to prevent and punish incitement to violence against Jews (or anyone) in this Muslim infiltrated country. That the Swedish government is an evil liar is clearly brought out by the fact that the government apologized to an Arab Gulf nation a short time ago for the publication of the Muhamid cartoons. In that case, the only incitement to violence was violence by Muslims. The muslims seem to enjoy violence and are easily provoked by their religious leaders. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The article and it's followup are most certainly incitements to violence against Jews. Particularly in a country loaded with recent Muslim immigrants. Hence the Swedish government should not only have condemned the paper, but it should prosecute the paper and it's writers. I was under he impression that the EU called anti-Semitism illegal, and certainly incitement to violence the same.. This about the only thing the EU can be commended for. For those who believe that 'freedom of the press' is a valid issue, you are truly stupid to believe that any intelligent person would believe that. If not simply stupid, then your agenda is is more in line with Nazi propaganda. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 "Pro-Israel" groups? And I am the King of Siam. Saying it doesn't make it so. Accepting the self definition of these ANTI-Israel groups is misleading. Sincerely, the King of Siam 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I'm with you Mr. Pearlman. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Every Kapo calls himself a Jew. They are NOT Jews anymore than the Nazi who calls hims/her self 'Thoroughly Disgusted' is a Jew. They are the equivalent of Nazis and should be treated as such. Shot on sight. In a painful place. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The Oslo accords are dead and have been dead for many years. I believe that they died at birth. They are of no significance. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Stuart Goldbarg is apparently insane. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Herr Von Adolph Rand, you deserve something broken. Your useless morals and values. You attack the USA so as to justify leniency for DHL' violations of our laws against an ENEMY country bent on murdering Americans. Go back to Nazi Germany where you're obviously from. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The anti-Semitic Arabist Muhamid VonRoth continues to spew his Arab lies. Concocting the notion that refusal to negotiate peace is due to Israel's intransigence. The illiterate Arab spy should read the latest refusals to negotiate coming from Bethlehem. There, the Arabs are demanding that Israel surrender BEFORE negotiations begin. What is to be negotiated? What path into the sea the Jews are to take? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ari H. and James Whelan: Two self described non-Anti-Semites. One flies a PAL flag and the other hates Israel. What fantastic total liars and phonies. Their comments have defined their evil racist views. Or are they merely incredibly stupid? Same thing for the Jew who is being murdered. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 This is a certain confirmation of what we already know. This government of the USA is ANTI-SEMITIC. It's president and his neo-Nazi entourage. Maybe we can reduce the power of this government in 2010 if the Jews (not the Kapos) come to their senses. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Mohamid Kamberg quotes from the Guardian and Yasser Rowe supports him. I wonder if an Arab newspaper would publish the equivalent of the neo-Nazi comments of Mohamid and Yasser above. Possibly, but the editor would be short lived. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Times change. We've had the Democrat Roosevelt who didn't give a damn for European Jewish lives. Truman, who supported the creation of Israel right after the Russians did - and with that support won NY state from Tom Dewey the popular NY governor. After that he helped the nascent Jewish state by giving them zilch help. Then there was the Republican Eisenhower who helped Abdul Nasser to power against the British, French, and Israeli interests. No greater fool was there for president until then. But right now, it is the Democrats who want to destroy Israel and our medical system - particularly for elderly people. So wait until 2010 Democrats, you'll be through then. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 It is good to see Olmert now moving a bit to the right as Peres has also done recently. Hopefully, if Obama keeps this up,all the Jews who voted for him will also move to the Republican side. I have. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 These so-called Jewish organizations have no compassion for those who suffer from Arab terrorism. They should have set up camp in Sderot during the cascading rockets there. The danger here is that Obama believes only in their lies. Witness that the ZOA was not invited to the recent meeting with 'Jewish' organization leaders while J-Street and their types were invited. Obama doesn't care one wit for Israel. It is obvious. Anyway, he is too busy destroying Medicare and the entire medical system. He worries about 'global warming' while gas autos spew poison up and down the streets where we live, work, and play. Poisons originating in Iran, Arabia, and Venezuela. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Mike Huckabee, as President, would tell these courts to shove it. East, West, any part of Jerusalem is and always has been for for 3000 years ISRAELI. Does any court or president believe that west Jerusalem can become Arab? There will be world war III first. Would Obama reverse this decision? When pigs fly. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Kapo was the name of those whom the Nazis accepted as Jews and who collaborated with the Nazis in the torture and murder of Jewish men, women, and children. When some of the Kapos were later captured by Jewish rebels they were properly dispatched. Ignorance of the law has never been an excuse for violating the law. These misnamed 'Rabbis' thus have no excuse. Nor does Ari H. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Sorry Mister Edwards, Can't Help HATING Dat Man. But I do enjoy his suffering. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The appointment of Freeman was so sick that I wonder why Blair was not severely reprimanded. He should resign as well. These kind of errors should not be set aside. This is, no doubt, why this great nation is in such a great mess. As for M.J. Rosenberg, his support of Freeman should alone discredit Freeman. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Tamar is certainly correct, except these two old fools are DANGEROUS. They have served the despised (by decent people) Carter and also GHW Bush (father). Both have had an extremely anti-Israel and anti-Jewish perspective on events in the middle east. If they have the friendly ear of Obama, then it is bad news for Israel. It is good to know what they are saying, because it is then simple to know that the opposite is true. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I agree with Tamar, except that Schiffman well deserved this 'joke' being played on him. After following events and writings about the scrolls for years, I did not appreciate Schiffman repeatedly denigrating almost anyone with a different analysis than his own. His behavior towards Robert Eisenman and a young colleague of Eisenman was far more seriously bad than this simple affair. That behavior should have warranted an arrest for the undeserved damage that it inflicted on those two scientists. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Liz Berney is totally correct. If congress approves this crime, it will be a democrat congress and I will become a fervent Republican. Every Jew in the US should seriously consider what to do in the event of this crime - and other crimes that the Obama government has been cooking up lately. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I am a graduate of the College of Engineering, 1954. I am thoroughly ashamed of NYU. Their reaction should be with demands that these 'students' leave immediately and to prosecute all of them to the full extent of the law. If necessary, lethal weapons should be used to rid the university of this trash. Once this is done, then it is not likely that there will not be a repetition. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I agree with Mr. Sternlight above fully. But much more should be done by these so-called 'moderate' Arab countries. In this case, a personal apology to Pe'er and even more, some considerable payment to compensate her for financial losses that occurred as a result of her black listing. This is the kind of thing which caused such an uproar over giving Dubai any control whatsoever of shipping in this country's ports. Thank God we did not give them any. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 This article has turned me into an anti-Obama supporter. It may yet turn me into an anti-Democrat. If distributed appropriately, it should and could turn the Jewish community into Republican supporters at last. Obama has been descending a steep slope against Israel supporters and somewhere along this line he may slip down the entire way. This appointment could be a critical push. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 How young is this Japanese Catholic? Born yesterday? He appears to have a slight touch of anti-Semitism. Jews can tell the Pope what they feel about ANY issue that they feel affects them. And this issue affects Jews. That is the nature of a harmonious relationship between any two people or religions or nations. Talking about our differences and concerns is necessary and important. Any sensible and MATURE person knows this. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Another breaking of a crucial campaign promise. And this one is urgent. It made the difference to me on which way I would vote. Can the congress pass a bill over a filibuster? Then Obama will have a (phony) excuse for not enabling stem cell research The more I see of Obama, the more I regret my vote. He should keep that in mind when 2012 comes around.. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 We wish her the best - good health and long life. We must add that this is one of the main reasons we did not support McCain in the election. We need judges of her caliber on the court. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Would you trust this evil and biased ogre with the life of a loved one? Well, apparently, the world and the US is doing just that with the IAEA. This is no less than suicide. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Much too little and much too late. And worse, the apology should be coming from the Vatican to the Jewish people and other victims of the Nazis. I am afraid that Benedict's early period in the Nazi youth movement is showing through. In contrast, the early life of John Paul II as a friend of Jews led to a different papacy. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Relative to 'J Street, the Israel Policy Forum and Americans for Peace Now', I have infinite confidence in the ZOA and ADL. Actually, for Mathematics buffs, that translates into NO confidence in J-Street etc. I fear that Obama is heading down a dangerous path for Israel. My dilemma in the election was whether to vote for McCain and lose my freedoms here - i.e. stem cell research, abortion, separation of church and state, etc., OR choose the best candidate for Israel. Obama may satisfy none of my wishes. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Bush (Jr) is not the worst president American Jews have had, but he rates near the bottom. No one (so far) rates as bad as Carter and hopefully will never do so. But Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt (FDR), and Reagan are near the top of the list of the worst presidents. Some will argue about Truman and Reagan, but they should study the facts more clearly. I'm still hoping that Bush can improve his status by freeing Jonathan Pollard. I'm afraid that is wishful thinking. Bush took a low dive when he failed to oppose that latest atrocious action of the UN at the Security Council. After all, it was he (with Rice) who got Gaza in this mess (Olmert helping of course) by installing Hamas there and then opening the Gaza/Egyptian border to smuggling. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Israel should at last utilize the law that it has always had on it's books for execution of those attempting to commit genocide of the Jews. All the Hamas leadership falls into this category. The death of Shalit should give impetus to executing ALL the Hamas leadership. This should be done anyway, but the MURDER of Shalit should be broadcast loudly for days and months together with the execution of the Hamas leadership. I personally bleed for the Palestinians. As they cried for the 3000 murdered Americans by dancing on the roofs of their homes. That also should be imprinted on the minds of the World's anti-Semitic governments (the US included) who demanded the release of the same Hamas leadership when Israel, with misplaced kindness, exiled them to Lebanon. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 'Morally deficient', at best 'Naive'. Mr Ben-Ami is as sick a Rosanne Barr. 'Disproportionate'? Anti-Semites always appear to use that term for any of Israel's defensive actions. I suggest that Ben-Ami move to Israel and join the Army there. When he reaches a high enough rank, he can then decide how much power he needs to defeat a well armed terrorist enemy at his front door. J-Street will, however, feel more at home by joining Hamas (or even BBC - not much difference) 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 What Charles Winter, a non-Jew, did should never have been considered a crime in the first place. It was what Truman and his British friends did that was the crime. They deserted the victims of the Holocaust and permitted the Arabs to slaughter them with no help from the USA (Britain was, of course, helping the Arabs). The US was investing heavily in rebuilding Europe - including Germany - the Marshall plan. Truman recognized Israel only to get the New York vote in1948. Against Dewey, Governor of NY, he would surely have lost the election without NY. Winter deserved the Medal of Honor - not a pardon. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 B'Tselem is NOT a Human Rights group. It may use that name for itself, but that no sooner makes it a proponent for human rights than I would be the King Of Israel if I called myself by that name. There is an evil trend among anti-Semites/anti-Israelites to call themselvs proponents of 'human rights'. This criticism applies especially to the 'United' Nations. It applies to B'Tselem and should be so noted in reporting the actions of that anti-Israeli POLITICAL group. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 It would have been a great farewell if Bush could eliminate the Iranian threat before he leaves office. He could have added the release of Pollard. Instead he merely cranks up his criticism of Israel and 'settlements' - i.e. a Jew free Judea/Samaria. He could have taken the blame for Hamas in Gaza as well. He insisted on 'free' elections there - as if there could be free elections in a brainwashed evil society in Gaza. He also insisted that Israel not control the border of Gaza with Egypt. As a result Hamas controls the entry of arms through the hundreds of tunnels there. He, together with his incompetent Rice, are leaving Israel and the world in a miserable state.which they can largely blame themselves for. On top of which he is driving hard to implant his vision of religion with directives against abortion, stem cell research, etc. I don't know what January 20th will bring, but it cannot be worse than what Bush is leaving behind as his legacy. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 It is not and should not be an issue for the court to decide. It is as stupid as the U.S. Senate filibuster requiring 60 votes to silence. What are these infantile adults doing with life and death issues? Am I on the wrong planet? Maybe the court should negotiate with the PA and Hamas on the future borders of a peace settlement. The PM and Foreign Minister can play Gin Rummy instead of handling foreign policy. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 'Finkelstein, a "controversial" author and political scientist'? Is every damned fool or Nazi 'controversial'? Every decent person knows this idiot is NOT controversial, but an anti-Semite of the worst kind - traitorous. The Jerusalem Post has, today, an interesting article on Jewish Anti-Semites. Finkelstein is highly qualified as, sadly, are too many others. Incidentally, I am a scientist. I search for the truth in nature. Finkelstein is NOT any kind of scientist, political or otherwise. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I rarely, if ever, agree with Mr. Rosenberg. I strongly disagree with him now. The Arabs can accept Jews living in Judea/Samaria just as Israelis have accepted Muslims in Israel. The problem is not with the 'settlers', but with the Arabs wanting NO JEWS in a future state. Even though the Jewish ties to Judea and Samaria are infinitely greater than either Muslim or Christian ties. Even without such acceptance by the Arabs, it must be remembered that Egypt and Israel reached an agreement while settlers were still in the Sinai. This entire 'settler' business is merely a smoke screen. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Actually, It Is Clear That The Reverse Is True People who do not believe in conventional religious values are those under attack. e.g. Atheists, agnostics, Homosexuals, scientists (evolution), etc. are the despised ones. It is the religious institutions that are stealing money from everyone else. Do they pay taxes for services such as police, fire, streets etc.? No. Do they use their tax free status to influence politics? Yes. They attend parties, meetings, prayers etc., in their buildings, but do not contribute to the community costs for streets etc.. They get loads of freebees and still they complain about being attacked. As usual, its the crooks who complain the most - not the victims. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
