Posted in: Goldstone's war
Alexander Baldal, you are not a Khazar, but an anti-Semitic political moron. The Goldstone report is a nail in the "peace process" and the hopes of the Islamic Khazars called "Palestinians" for a state of their own.Sure the Law is as you cited. Hamas should have known that before it fired 8000 rockets on Israeli civilians. And you look for some Nazi blog to post there your hogwash and stay the hell out of Jewish sites.
Posted in: Walt and Mearsheimer get a positive review that won't be blurbed on the book jacket
David, you better don't classify the stupids, just look in the mirror. As far as Walt and Mearsheimer's book is concerned, Bin Laden didn't make a serious investment. I got the book for $1.90 at Amazon.com and he could get it too for the same price. It's not worth a cent more...
Posted in: Van Jones' Israel problem
Mr.David Ehrens, you are clearly not just a critic of Israel, but a Jew hater and anti-Semite. What I don't understand is, why you are commenting on a Jewish website about Jewish affairs and why JTA is publishing your (quite stupid) comments. STFU and find another forum, there are enough Nazi blogs around, where they would welcome you.
Posted in: Abrams vs. Carter
If somebody is mentioning "shmucks", look at Carter, the Elders and their friends a la David Ehrens. Carter was and remained a Jew-hater and Abrams is one of the most decent men and a real friend of Israel.

THE SOURCE OF OBAMA'S ANTI-ISRAEL POLICY BY E.W. Jackson Sr. E. W. Jackson is Bishop of Exodus Faith Ministries, an author and retired attorney. June 16, 2009 Like Obama, I am a graduate of Harvard Law School. I too have Muslims in my family. I am black, and I was once a leftist Democrat. Since our backgrounds are somewhat similar, I perceive something in Obama's policy toward Israel which people without that background may not see. All my life I have witnessed a strain of anti-Semitism in the black community. It has been fuelled by the rise of the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan, but it predates that organization. We heard it in Jesse Jackson's "HYMIE town" remark years ago during his presidential campaign. We heard it most recently in Jeremiah Wright's remark about "them Jews" not allowing Obama to speak with him. I hear it from my own Muslim family members who see the problem in the Middle East as a "Jew" problem. Growing up in a small, predominantly black urban community in Pennsylvania, I heard the comments about Jewish shop owners. They were "greedy cheaters" who could not be trusted, according to my family and others in the neighborhood. I was too young to understand what it means to be Jewish, or know that I was hearing anti-Semitism. These people seemed nice enough to me, but others said they were "evil". Sadly, this bigotry has yet to be eradicated from the black community. In Chicago, the anti-Jewish sentiment among black people is even more pronounced because of the direct influence of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Most African Americans are not followers of "The Nation", but many have a quiet respect for its leader because, they say, "he speaks the truth" and "stands up for the black man". What they mean of course is that he viciously attacks the perceived "enemies" of the black community - white people and Jews. Even some self-described Christians buy into his demagoguery. The question is whether Obama, given his Muslim roots and experience in Farrakhan's Chicago, shares this antipathy for Israel and Jewish people. Is there any evidence that he does? First, the President was taught for twenty years by a virulent anti-Semite, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. In the black community it is called "sitting under". You don't merely attend a church, you "sit under" a Pastor to be taught and mentored by him. Obama "sat under" Wright for a very long time. He was comfortable enough with Farrakhan - Wright's friend - to attend and help organize his "Million Man March". I was on C-Span the morning of the march arguing that we must never legitimize a racist and anti-Semite, no matter what "good" he claims to be doing. Yet a future President was in the crowd giving Farrakhan his enthusiastic support. The classic left wing view is that Israel is the oppressive occupier, and the Palestinians are Israel's victims. Obama is clearly sympathetic to this view. In speaking to the "Muslim World," he did not address the widespread Islamic hatred of Jews. Instead he attacked Israel over the growth of West Bank settlements. Surely he knows that settlements are not the crux of the problem. The absolute refusal of the Palestinians to accept Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state is the insurmountable obstacle. That's where the pressure needs to be placed, but this President sees it differently. He also made the preposterous comparison of the Holocaust to Palestinian "dislocation". Obama clearly has Muslim sensibilities. He sees the world and Israel from a Muslim perspective. His construct of "The Muslim World" is unique in modern diplomacy. It is said that only The Muslim Brotherhood and other radical elements of the religion use that concept. It is a call to unify Muslims around the world. It is rather odd to hear an American President use it. In doing so he reveals more about his thinking than he intends. The dramatic policy reversal of joining the unrelentingly anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and pro-Islamic UN Human Rights Council is in keeping with the President's truest - albeit undeclared - sensibilities Those who are paying attention and thinking about these issues do not find it unreasonable to consider that President Obama is influenced by a strain of anti-Semitism picked up from the black community, his leftist friends and colleagues, his Muslim associations and his long period of mentorship under Jeremiah Wright. If this conclusion is accurate, Israel has some dark days ahead. For the first time in her history, she may find the President of the United States siding with her enemies. Those who believe, as I do, that Israel must be protected had better be ready for the fight. We are. NEVER AGAIN! E. W. Jackson is Bishop of Exodus Faith Ministries, an author and retired attorney.

Posted in: NJDC leader: Some Obama criticism 'opportunistic'
I'm really glad to be an Independent and not a Democrat. The idea to be represented by people who find nothing offensive to pick Mary Robinson for the Presidential Medal of Freedom and "are still firmly behind Obama on the MIddle East and other matters" is for me so absurd and disgusting , that I find Mr.Harris totally out of touch with the Jewish public.
Posted in: Boosting Jewish populations in Arab neighborhoods stokes tensions
I think the time has come to review the postings here before publishing them. JTA is not the right place for Jew-haters and other bozos. The Arabs and their friends would like to displace the Jews living in the "settlements" on the Westbank. But where should they be resettled ? The aerea between Haifa and Ashkelon, Gedera and Hadera is overcrowded and expensive. Jews must be moving in the Galilea and the Negev - if Arabs like it or not. There are almost exclusively religious Jewish neighborhoods in New York, in Montreal, in L.A. and elsewhere. Why is a religious Jewish neighborhood in Akko or Jaffa a problem? Sooner or later will the Arabs learn to live with it and buy their own plots of land where they can build housing exclusively for religious Muslims or Christians.
Posted in: Differing Israeli opinions on J Street (UPDATED)
What's the surprise ? There were Jews who would have been members of the Nazi-Party, if they would have been accepted. There were Jews serving in the Ghetto-Judenrats and one Jew was just elected to the Revolutionary Council of the Fatah-Terrorgroup. There are Chomskys and Finkelsteins not just in America, but in Israel too. All of them are proud members or sympathizers of J Street.

Posted in: Goldstone's motivation
10/19/09 02:56 PM
I'm really not interested anymore in Judge Goldstones motivations. He new very well what has been expected from him, when he accepted the job from the corrupt, anti-Israeli organization and he delivered exactly what they expected. To whine know , he "didn't mean it", is too little, to late.
