    I am also against the fence. It serves to wall in Jews and keep us from our Lands in Judea and Samaria That being said we are expanding at an amazing pace. Check out these links! http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/...

    Are you suicidal? Like Dirty Harry said: "A man's gotta know his limitations". You're like an alcoholic relative – I don't know how to help you. I just have to watch the whole thing unfold. Again, I wish you the best. Be well.

    Brilliant response by the Bil'in movement! Of course the IDF was happy to oblige by playing the part we all knew they would play. I hope this gets widely, WIDELY circulated!

    Yeah, in the 98% goy USA it's customary to build a fence on your neighbor's land as a separation border. Hurrah!

    Hurrah is not a particularly good term to use when speaking of Jews. look into it's origins.

    Actually, the fence goes 8km into Palestinian land, so if Israel moved it to it's proper location, there would be no problem.

    Addendum: above was for Eitan.

    It's Jewish land

    Not suicidal. Life is important. I'll ask you please to refrain from trying to "help" I wish you the best as well. Please also be well.

    I ask myself – "Will I have the courage and charity to hide you in my basement when all hell breaks loose on you Jews?" Time will tell I guess. All that evil needs is for good men to do nothing. I can't be party to the Zionist regime's activities, so I won't be doing nothing. Seems Obama feels the same way. There must be some part of you that knows how wrong you are to treat people so shabbily. So ironic that Jews are involved in such unfairness after having themselves been treated so badly.

    I'd rather not hang out in your basement. I'd rather fight any possible "Hell breaking loose on Jews"

    Looks like Israel's child army doesn't want to play.

    It's a dumb mistake not to napalm the Israelis.

    REMINDER: The Israel Foreign Ministry is paying Israelis like eitanbenshlomo et al to comment and spar here on this blog: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3744516... http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3744516... So these guys are getting paid to waste your time.

    John Smithson, When hell breaks loose on the Jews, I'll cheer on those who crush the skull of eitanben "I'm reporting this" shlomo. It's Jews like Phil Weiss, Adam Horowitz, Norm Finkelstein, Medea Benjamin, Joseph Dana, Tony Judt, Richard Silverstein, Magnes Zionist, Noam Chomsky, Gideon Levy, Neve Gordon, members of Jewish Voice for Peace, members of CJPIP, etc. etc. who will need hiding. I will hide them all, and die before they do. Not only these, it's all the innocent Jews who know little and care less about the real situation in Israel who will need hiding. I will hide them all, and protect them with my life. Even the misguided supporters of Israel like Witty, I've got a place for him to hide. Although I disagree with him on so many points, his is not an ideology of hate. He has to be protected. It has been the same sad story throughout history. The innocent pay for the crimes of the guilty. Let it not be so in the future. Bear up, John, from your tone I can see that you will have both the courage and the charity, and they will both be needed. You, human, are the light of the world. FPM

    I made a facetious remark; it was tongue-in-cheek. In the USA it's illegal to erect a fence on land you don't own.

  21. JoelBitar says:

    You believe that certain ethnicities have more of a right to pieces of land than other people. Based on your logic, there was nothing wrong with Hitler annexing land based on the Aryan self-proclaimation of superiority.

    That's not the American or World opinion.

    Must be lots of available Jewish guys like Joe The Plumber on the Israel Foreign Ministry's payroll. We know that Israel, like the USA, hangs high up on the list of countries with the highest wage gap, and both trending ever higher.

    HEP = Hebräer, Edelmänner, Profitgeier – Hebrews (probably more correctly Hebes in this case), Noblemen (are) profiteers. During the Napoleonic Wars a corrupt conspiracy of Jewish bankers (loan sharks) and noblemen managed to suck the economic life's blood of the bourgeoisie in several German states. The translation Hierosolyma est perdita is just Jewish (not necessarily Zionist) propaganda. German Jews refused to understand that their own behavior created the hatred and not historic prejudice against Jews. The Latin phrase would have been Hierosolyma perdita est (Hierosolyma perditast) or for emphasis Perdita Hierosolyma est (Perdita Hierosolymast). I have also seen Heb explained via hebt den Jüd but I am not sure of the meaning — maybe "Get the Jew (off our backs)!"

    What is brilliant and brave about Muslim women being flooged in malaysia over beer?

    i agree that it's brilliant. and it's amazing that in light of all the hoopla surrounding the ridiculous cell phone ad, that the iof chose to respond in this way. shameless!

  32. spuxx says:

    Courageous and clever.

    This is the reason there will never be a "one state" solution. Somehow I don't see Israelis being ruled by Sharia Law.

    Talking big from Tel Aviv or thereabouts. And feeling safe. What are they paying you? Reality bites, so watch out. I hope you don't get to find out what you're made of.

    What is brilliant and brave about Israeli women getting acid thrown at them over wearing trousers? http://www.israeltoday.co.il/default.aspx?tabid=1... "People in glass houses…" and all that.

  37. Shafiq says:
    July 21, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    And what is brilliant and brave about a Christian priest being spat at in Jerusalem over his religion? Or a Palestinian's home being burnt down because he dared to own it and be Arab at the same time? You see, I can deflect the issue at hand too.

    From a source link on Muzzlewatch: The project is described in the government budget for 2009 as the “Internet fighting team” – a name that was given to it in order to distinguish it from the existing policy-explanation team, among other reasons, so that it can receive a separate budget. LOL "Internet Fighting Team"

    On reflection, I think it's more likely eiten is working for David Duke.
