But according to your boy this was the most important treaty to come down the pike, ever. Explain the contradiction. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Nixon came through when it counted. When it REALLY counted.. That's good enough for me 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Wow Lloyd, I think what they need there is the Chamberlain award for bowing and scraping. And you should be the first winner. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Nixon came through when it counted. Kissinger wanted to let Israel bleed. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The Russians are scumbags, always have been, always will be. And any Jew who doesn't bow down to the cult of Obama know it. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Its not that complicated. If your a jew before your a liberal and you care about the existence of Israel you vote Republican. Everybody else votes Democratic. Sestak was "Cairs" guy in Pa. But nobody really cared about that. The same way nobody cared about Obama and shis associations. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Wow, a congressman made a pro-israel vote because of what you said. The guilt, the angst, the horror. It must be eating you up alive that weren't able to give equal weight to the Hamas line. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Sure, and I bet some of his best friends are Jewish too. He's a scumbag. And we all know what he is and what he is about. We've seen it before. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 New york doesn't need a mega-mosque paid for by the Saudi's run by a hamas apologist. And if "rabbi" Waskow would get off his knees and read what Rauf says to moslem audiences he would realize it. But then again given his history being a dhimmi is right up his alley. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 For those of us not living in la la land its obvious what this is. A staking of a claim and a giant Fuck you towards the United States. 13 Stories, give me a break. It's a defeat on a long and bitter road that we are going to be traveling. I know the rest of you are thrilled with more Moslem inroads in the United States and most American Jews don't care anymore but some of us do. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Your kidding right. Schakowsky has Helen Thomas speaking at her fund raiser and aligns with j-street. And you think that lines up with being pro-israel. Pollack did volunteer work in South Africa, and he's anti-black. Is this some sort of world where black is white, north is south, and the sun rises in the west. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The English are now whores to the Libyans. Actually they always have been. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Phil Weiss and his little gay sidekick are pieces of shit. Always have been, always will be. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Did you grow up boot licking, groveling, and all around kissing ass or is it something that you developed 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I'd say Helen Thomas is a gargoyle but that's pretty insulting to gargoyles. I am curious to know whether she made any trips to tthe "fatherland" in the 30's to sleep with our top nazi's. Probably not Hitler but maybe Goering. Both of them were fat and ugly. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I can't help but think of the McCarthy hearings when reading a Ron Kampeas column. To paraphrase, " have you no shame, have you no pride". What can they do to make you say, "this is as far as I go in groveling", anything? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 That denial has enough holes to drive a tractor trailer though. But Mr. Eden, you should be ashamed to trumpet Obama constantly. If Kristol is right, would you apologize? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Helen Thomas is a gargoyle. and every Jew knows the underlying intent to "go back to Germany and Poland". The knesset video was nothing. They always go at it like that. And that includes the Arab members who by any stretch of the imagination are NOT exactly loyal to the country. She has no concern with Israeli soldiers lives and why should she. She is the enemy. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I guess the 6 krauts reallly miss the good old days. 1000 yr reich and all that. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I was there, it wasn't a pro-settler rally, although that wouldn't be a bad thing. It was a concert in central park at the tail end of the salute to israel parade. And guess what, the whole day was a lot of fun. Hundreds of thousands of Jews who are proud of who and what they are. Not consumed by angst and guilt. Alien stuff to liberal jews and j-street but all in all a nice day. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Filner and Sanders, ( whose real name is Bergman btw, his father was my grandfathers lawyer in queens) may have been born Jewish accidentally but are clearly on the side of the fatah, hamas, hezbollah triumverate and are probably security risks. And Steve Rothman, my congressman, would be for Obama even if he showed up wearing a kaffiyeh and a swastika armband. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 all this means is that our so-called jewish leaders can be bought off cheap. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ackerman used to be my congressman. the guy was and is an asshole and would back Obama even if he started wearing a swastika armband and a kaffiyeh 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I'll say this. He really is a tremendous liar. He's exceptionally good at it. The problem is that our socalled "jewish leaders" are more concerned with "access" then they are in doing the right thing. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The only Jewish members of congress that come to Israels defense are Cantoe and Lieberman. Therest of them are craven cowards of the worst kind. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Actually Ackerman was nowhere to be found on the Goldstone report or on the latest Obama-israel situation. Like the rest of the Jewish democrats he is a coward and a moral pygmy. He actually used to be my congressman and if that district didn't send democrats to congress like they were communists in russia there might be a chance. but there isn't 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 If you live in the actual real world its pretty explicit. If your in the Ron Kampeas Obama man crush messiah world. maybe its fuzzy. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Classic Schumer. I believe the term that applies here is craven cowardice. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Netanyahus brother was killed at Entebbe. And he himself saw more than a little combat in the commandos. Dennis Ross on the other hand has made a career of the 'peace process". Its the difference between the Bielski brothers and the "judenrat" 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 the only people that are surprised are guys like Fingerhut and Kampeas. Guys that had "man crushes" on Obama and wouldn't recognize a danger to the Jewish people on the Democratic like if it had a swastika armband and was wearing a kaffiyeh 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 OBAMA LIED STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!! I had a conversation with a friend of mine before the election who was nostradamas. He said that only 20% of America nJews give a shit about the survival of Israel. And that is what McCain got. The rest ofthem don't care. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I think he fears an Obama doublecross, and he is right. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Code Pink is a bunch of angry lesbians. Angry dyke lesbians 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I believe the term "full of shit" applies here. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 By the time this is over a lot of people are going to be dead. And their blood will be on Obamas head. Also, there going into the "Israel is endangering US soldiers program" better known has the blood libel. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Rosenberg is a truly sick guy. A classic self hating Jew whose entire connection to Judaism is tied up in bashing Israel. Basically its look at me, I'm not part of those greasy hook nosed war criminals. I'm one of the good ones, ,moral, just, I cheer for hamas not the IDF. So, don't blame me. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 You can finesse this to the nth degree, or how many angels dance on the head of a pin. The fact is that post WW2 Israel is the central enterprise of the Jewish people. Without it we are done. And nobody can deny that. You can make allowances for Walt, Mearshiemer, peanut jimmy, and Sullivan. But they are against israel. That's all I have to know. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Carries dead on here. When it comes to Israel I would rather have the lowest guy at cpac instead of Obama and his court Jews, Emanuel and Axelrod 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I would say calling "churches for middle east peace" anti-israel is being rahter kind and is really the mother of all understatements. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Phil Weiss is just sorry that Hitler didn't finish every Jew in Europe off. Then, No Israel, and his world would be perfect. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Let me come at this from another angle. ( lets leave aside whether hamas has in your words resolved their own thing, not to mention the Iranians, Hezbollah, the Al Aksa brigades, the Syrians. And I don't know Palestinians for the metric system. I'd be interested how you would handle one small part of this. I think that most reasonable people believe that Israel can't, simply can't, have a hostile military entity on the west bank ridge line. Particularly one allied with Iran that can put the coastal population centers under attack. Yet the Goldstone report says to Israel that self defense is not allowed them . That attacks must be absorbed. How would you resolve this? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 So speaks the bard of Seattle. Richard Silverstein gets his column posted on neo-nazi websites. They like what he's about, what he has to say. So perhaps he is not the right person to comment on the qualities of an organization that enjoys killing Jews. Ot maybe he is. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Say I stipulate to your argument. The fact is that Israel has the right to control its OWN borders. If the entity on the aother other side is a hostile entity. Has hamas surely is, what would you do ?what would Australia do? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 You can go into all the nuances of ant--semitism v. anti-zionism all you want. Or to put it another way how many angels dance on the head of a pin. The facts are this. Post WW2 Israel is the central enterprise of ther Jewish people. If israel goes we're done. If you are an advocate of the destruction of Israel. Which most of these people are. Then you are against the continued existence of Judaism. Soem people feel that way, fine. But don't couch in faux morality and liberal bullshit. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Except Kevin, Israeli retaliation was just that, retaliation for hamas attacks. The hamas chicken came before the Israeli egg. And to pretend otherwise is, yes, antisemitic. Because when you condem Israel for doing what EVERY other country would have done. Well, what do you call that. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Saying that is the right of return is implemented there would be a "change in character" of the country is one of the greatest understatments in history. And a lie right up their with Arafat not enjoying the sexual favors of teenage boys. How about this. It's the end of the Jewish state, everybody knows it. And so do you. If that's ok with you, the end of Israel and the death and dispersion of the Jews therein fine. But it's not ok with everybody. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Dershowitz was 100% right. And shouldn't have backed down an inch. Goldstone is a traitor. And there is no denying that. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ok, Haber, I'll bite. Explain to me how implementing the "right of return" would not spell the end of israel has a Jewish state. It's not often I read something so completely idiotic but please enlighten me. ( no sarcasm ) 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 the emergence of a the human rights NGO’s—and more generally, the discourse of human rights—as a third force in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They are neither Zionist nor anti-Zionist nor non-Zionist; they are pro-human rights. That's called the big lie. The Nazi's were masters at it. So was Arafat. And so is Haber 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Dershowitz never should have backed off. Goldstone is a traitor to the Jewish people, without question. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 He shouldn't have backed down. Goldstone is a traitor. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Rosensaft trades on the fact that his parents were holocaust survivors. Not him, them. It doesn't give him any special insight or moral authority. Hannah Rosenthal has a conflict of interest and never should have put in this spot. And Weston, while being a low life scum sucking pice of shit, is actually right when he asks why we need a global envoy on anti -semitism, What exactly is she going to do except dump on Israel? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Jews don't vote on religion, otherwise none of them would have voted for Obama. Nor do they vote on the best interests of America or themselves. Again, if that was the case none would have voted for Obama. Jews vote for liberals. Rush Limbaugh is a very pro-israel guy who doesn't deserve grief from the ADL. Which in any case should close up shop and turn their budget over to Jewish day schools 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I don't see where Palin is any less qualified than Obama. Jewish woman hate her for two reasons. She is pro-life and conservative, that's it. Adn to say otherwise is disingenuous 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Lieberman is the bad guy to these people. Jews who take the side of hamas, marry out, and advocate the destruction of Israel, well they are OK. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ron, your making a serious bid for the Walter Duranty award 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 If your not an Obama groupie like Fingerhut the answer is obvious. The guy is a joke, always was, always will be. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Blumenthal is a piece of shit who should get it over with. Convert to Islam, bend over, and take it up the ass. And I'd like to see Rosenberg writer one thing, just one thing, that is critical of the Arabs without the bullshit moral equivalence that Jews by accident of birth like him love to employ. But watch, he just can't do it. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Joe Klein long ago decided that throwing in with hamas and calling pro-israel american jews traitors was a good career move. This way he can be the good liberal. You see he's different then those grubby old american jews. And he's different from jewish kids in the IDF who put their lives on the line. He's better, more moral, a light upon the nations if you will. It's an incredibly cynical but yet brilliant move in todays media environment. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 This would carry weight if the NJDC and the other groups had made any mention of the anti-semitic signs that adorned any anti-war, left wing, or Moslem rally of the last decade. Has a Jew, I would trust the anybody at a 'tea party" rally on Israel and Jewish issues way more than anybody that showed up at the J-street gala. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I love the Siegman attitude. Which is basically this. I and Obama are just higher beings, moral guys. We're just goodness and light. And the Israeli's, what the hell do they know about it. They are just a bunch of fools who if they just listen to me would enter a utopian paradise. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Max Blumenthal is a classic case study of the self hating Jew. He is an advocate of the destruction of Israel and the death and dispersion of the Jews that reside there. He has said that. John Hagee is a big supporter of Israel. The rest of this article is window dressing. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Danny, relax, I'm usually very sensitive towards this kind of stuff but give the guy a break. You hear way more anti-semitism at any gathering of moslems more then one person. Or for that matter at the recent j-street gala. Besides, he does do a great rendition of god bless america. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I'm a regular listener of Savage, First he is a very pro-israel guy. Secondly, I've never once heard him ridicule a Jew who was proud of who and what he was. And that is a category that does not include Larry David. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Looking forward to seeing it. BTW the John Goodman character in the "Big Lebowski" was in its own way one of the most pro-jewish, pro-israel characters that you'll ever find. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 i would really like to know if the Iranians are paying Cohen off. Nobody could be this stupid on their own. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I understand that Sidney Rosenberg likes to fuck animals. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Natalie Portman, ( aside from being seriously good looking ) has never felt the need to turn on her own people. And seems to like being Jewish. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Go find any vietnam veteran and ask him what he thinks of jane fonda. See what they say. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Not often that you read such inspired bullshit 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I saw a news report that Michael Hess likes to have to have anal sex with goats. Do you deny that Mr. Hess? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 You know Dave, there wasn't a Jew in Europe during the war who wouldn't have traded places with any palestinian alive today. Try 33,000 dead at Babi Yar, shot down in 3 days. Just for starters. And the UN, the UN of Kurt Waldheim, give me a break 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Jerry, you really should have skipped those mushrooms at Woodstock. Novak, scumbag that he was, was a believing catholic. So hell would have had relevance for him. Theological arguments aside, the guy was an asshole. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ari: Hopefully these things come in threes, I'm thinking Jimmy Carter and zbiegnew Brezinski would be a nice triple play. And for political balance, Baker and Scowcroft 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Like I said before, may he rot in hell. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 This one is like Yasser Arafat, every Jew who isn't ashamed of who and what he is has to be happy. Hopefully, peanut Jimmy is the next guy to get a massive heart attack. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 May he rot in hell. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 So Sheldon is an apostate. What of Phil Weiss, Richard Silverstein, Noam Chomsky. Not to mention the biggest pice of shit of them all. Norm Finkelstein. God bless the TVC. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 These things don't happen by accident. Obama is sending a message to the American Jewish community. Basically Fuck you> ]]> 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Bernie Sanders father was my grandfathers lawyer. The original name was Bergman. But he is obviously ashamed and embarrassed about being born Jewish and changed that. And on top of that is a freaking socialist/communist/. To expect him to do anything that might possibly be construed has pro-israel or even anything Jewish his asking for an impossibility. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Every anti-war march had Bushitler in it and a star of david and and swastika side by side. Anti-semitism in this country is concentrated on the left, not the right. Also, has anybody who listens to his program would attest, Rush Limbaugh is an extremely pro-Israel guy. The NJDC should worry a little more about their boy Obama dropping sanctions on Syria and sucking up to Hamas. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 David Harris should power down. References to nazi imagery when talking about opponents comes from the left not the right. Additionally, Rush Limbaugh is a very pro-israel guy. Has anybody who listens to his program will attest. Brian Baird is definitely not a pro-israel guy. And in fact comes down on the side of Hamas. It would be nice if the NJDC worried a little more about the 6 million LIVE Jews in Israel 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Arthur Waskow took too many mushrooms at woodstock. I'd be interested if anybody knows where he graduated from. I'm thinking that he is full of shit about his slicha. Now if he was an imam for the mosque of lets fuck our child brides, wipe our ass with our left hands, and kill jews. That would fit. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Everybody is missing the point. Since it has come out that HRW was in Saudi Arabia soliciting funds they've actually caught some bad publicity. This is damage control, that's all. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Interesting to hear from a Von Roth, what's the deal, your father or grandfather was in the einzatsgruppen and you feel like you missed all the fun? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Ari: Nobody says that being critical of Israel makes you anti-semitic. But when you go over the top. And cheer on groups that say Hitler didn't finish the job. The way she did at Durban. What does that say. Take you for instance. I've read your stuff and you are without question an anti-semite. Without a doubt. On top of being an asshole. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Mary Robinson is reflexively ant-Israel and given her little number at Durban a compelling case can be made that she is an out and out anti-semite. And guess what. The Obama white house is on board with that. Can anybody say no? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Not often that you you see such a complete lack of self respect and kiss ass. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Come on Ron, stop channeling Neville Chamberlain and be a man instead of a doormat. You can do it. It's really not that hard. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Instead of making excuses for Obama perhaps Fingerhut could look at it from a truthful angle. Mary Robinson was and is reflexively anti-Israel. And given what went on in Durban you could make a compelling argument that she is ant-semitic. And guess what. The Obama White House is on board with that. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Roger Cohen should just jump to the end game. Convert to Islam, take down his pants, and bend over. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Being a regular visitor to Israel I know that except for one battalion the ultra orthodox are somehow in other places when it comes to the IDF. And it is a huge issue. If Pappenheim really wants to send in his army perhaps his guys could put on a uniform and give the men currently on duty a break. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I guess when the Arabs are trucking out Jewish artifacts from the temple mount to the garbage dump that was ok. Or that line in the siddur, "if forget thee O'Jerusalem...". That one we throw out right.. David, find me a Republican member of these organizations, give me some names. It's like the eternal search for the Iranian moderate, or the sane Palestinian. They don't exist . 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The PLO was officially founded in 1964. Israel is back behind the officially recognized border in Lebanon. Along with Gaza. Not to mention the Iranians. Please enlighten me has to the disputes in these areas? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Oh I don't know Dave. Leave aside your idiotic definition of what's stolen and what isn't but maybe, just maybe, Israel doesn't want Hamas up on the west bank ridge line launching rockets in between wiping their ass with their left hands and screwing their child brides. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Perhaps the JTA needs to do a better job in screening a bunch of assholes like Hicks, Haman, and Perrotti. ( Sounds like a law firm for the devil, come to think of it ) 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
