Is he talking about the same organization that is funded by the anti-Israel Soros? or the Arab community in the US who like what "J": street is saying? Does he actually think that "J" street unite the Jewish community with its leftist Peace(sic) Now positions? Is her reading about J street in comic books? Oh well, like so many before him, what he has done good in the past ( and he has) in helping and uniting Jewish culture, will be replaced by his working for an organization that is doing nothing but divide and destroy. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 What a wonderful article! You have now convinced me that though you may not have foreskin any more, I can still rename you by the muscle that once held it. By implying that so called right wing followers are in essence untrustworthy or somehow irrelevant because they do not conform to the leftist self destructive and self hating anti Zionists mantra that you spew; is more evidence of the racist overtone and hypocritical diarrhea- of the- mouth -words emanating from leftists such as yourself. If no one has had the opportunity yet, let me be the first: YOU ARE A SELF HATTING JEW perhaps even worse than Emanuel and Axelrod. Although their opinions may be self delusional and improper your opinions are laced with racist overtones and self grandeur. PLEASE crawl back into the hole you came out of and join your Palestinian brothers in Gaza where you belong 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 That's Funny. Because no one trusts Hillary Clinton 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Now that "rabbi" (sic) Waskoiw has concluded that most Jews think that the settlements are illegal and what a name Ahava is, this leftist self hating jew by birth, who calls himself "rabbi" should also question the name of his organization- Shalom Center- Peace or is it Piece center? What does Shalom center mean? Break Israel up in little pieces(peaces)? The rabbi and his socialist self hating Jewish ilk should support the Palestinians even more by doing the rest of us a favor-moving his shalom Center to Gaza where he can enjoy the lovely sunset of his friends and mentors the Hamas. Perhaps the good "rabbi" has not looked at the recent poll of worldwide Jewry conducted by the AJC that actually shows Jewish support of the so called settlements, which of course are not on "occupied" territory, but actually liberated territory. But hey the "rabbi" must know best. After all who takes precedence? Arabs living in uprooted Jewish homes for the past 150 years, or the Jews they uprooted who lived there for 2000 years? Most self hating jews think the Arabs do. That is why they are self hating! Weak liberal destructive people who lack ideas, wisdom and the confidence to be proud to be a Jew. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Once again Obama ”hood” (he steals from the rich and gives to the Democratic districts) is once again showing his true colors! With the support of the self hating Jews in his administration of Emanuel and Axelrod, and with the blindness of the liberal left -wing- afraid to be - Jews in tow, Obama has once again spit in the face of Israel and Jews. Yes, I know, the liberals will prove that it's actually raining! It is not a question if Robinson is an Anti-Semite or not; it’s a question of the sensibilities of this "even handed" (aka pro-Arab) administrations expressions that is so scary. Their true inexperience and bumbling is, sorry to say, rivaling that of Bush. Robinson, before she worked for the UN as President of Ireland, was virulently anti-Israel; the UN position just made it publicly obvious. With her good friends Jimmy "boy" Carter and the ever loving Tutu (for you 2) in tow, this triad of modern day Jew (Ohh I mean Israel) haters are taking the show on the road. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 I am amazed at your coverage and conclusions of the meeting the President had with our so-called Jewish leaders. Aside from the fact that you are probably getting your information from people like rabbi (sic) Yoffie, and from Obama fundraisers like Rosenberg and Solow who are obviously too sheepish and ankle deep to express any anti Obama policy opinions, the people following this event from other sources came out with very different conclusions than your leftist funded report. The fact that the National Council of the Young Israel and Mort Zuckerman were NOT invited to express their opinions indicates that Obama was preaching to the choir and not interested in feedback from the leaders that actually DO represent a majority of active Jews in this country. These pseudo "jewish" leaders who are afraid of speaking up for the Jewish People who they and they alone keep reminding us they represent, are nothing more than the same failed WWII Jewish leadership who did nothing for the Jewish people and in fact were complicit by what went on. What amazes me more is you report the meeting resulted in total agreement by the Jewish leadership to a freeze on building in liberated areas; while at the same time you point out those who spoke against this? Why does your Byline/Headline take the leftist approach that everyone agrees with Obama when your story is full of those opposed? Skewing headlines should be left for CNN or the BBC not the JTA, or are you also funded by the communist "jewish" anti-Semite Soros and are required to tow the line-Like J Street? 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 It is precisely because the Oslo accord is in tatters, that this demand, which should have been included at Oslo in the first place, should now be the focus and test if the Palestinians are serious or not. We do not need another Oslo war to show that past proposals were a failure and all those people associated with it’s composition were/are living in a dream world. When the Arabs in general learn to accept Jewish Israel as one of its neighbors, than forming a peace agreement will follow shortly. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Perhaps we should investigate the investigator before we accept the "truth" about this pope. Sounds like "Holy Crap" to me? 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 I have a great suggestion for the Jewish Community of South Africa LEAVE!! 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Here we go again. The Soros backed self hating "jewish" (sic) leftist/socialist group "j" street advocating for and on behalf of their Palestinian friends and trying to come off as a supporter of Israel. I suggest that the congressman who wrote this "letter" be the target of a coalition campaign of Israel supporters to defeat them in their next bid for office. Perhaps "j" street will fund them, with the help of their leftist benefactors, to open a think tank in obscurity, which is the place that "j" street and its ilk belong 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Thanks mainstream "jewish"(sic) leaders for their bending backwards to show how liberal and egalitarian they are, by pushing the Jewish population to vote for Obama. Thanks to the Soros backed "J" street for being such a friend to Israel (sic): to our good friend Emanuel the self-hating jew in the White House for pushing his liberal leftist agenda; To General Jones who is so cozy with his Arab friends; to the liberal leftist "jewish"(sic) radical leaders who now "run" our American Jewish organizations; To Obama who wakes up in the morning seeing how he can trade away Israel’s interest to further his Muslim agenda ; and to all the lovely left-wing democratic party leaders like Biden and Mitchell (who is still pushing his failed 1991 Mitchell plan rejected by both the Arabs and Israel) who are now comfortable showing their true faces. May G-d help us! 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 To Marty With Likud in power there will be less likelihood of war because our enemies will know that retaliation not vacillation will come hard: With Likud in power, so called "settlements" with substance will remain part of Israel, which historically belongs to the Jewish people: With Likud in power, immigration will increase as it has done with every Likud government in the past: With Likud in power Jews will raise their heads high instead of blaming themselves for the mistakes of previous left wing governments and will increase in population: Bottom line, left wing policies which have failed Israel miserably in the past, that has ravaged the country, caused wars, emboldened the Arabs to attack, allowed Iranian to acquire nukes and obviously caused people such as yourself to bash their "jewishness" will hopefully come to an end. The so called "peace- movement" in Israel LOST, as you seem to be. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Gee- What a surprise? 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 It’s about time! This family of terrorists has been celebrating his "martyrdom" since he was shot in the act of murdering 8 innocent students in their school. Naive people worrying about how this will affect Israel's image seem to never take into account how not doing this has affected Israel's enemies and the victims of terror. It amazes me how these bleeding heart liberal die- hard are always concerned about everyone else and everyone else’s image than their own people 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 While I believe any violence against anyone, especial Jew on Jew is reprehensible, to compare what some youth did as a "pogrom" (sic) is even more so. As we look to the so-called Jewish leadership today in America, the article mentions the ADL and the AJC. I am not exactly sure why these are the "leading" Jewish voices in America as the article implies. They certainly do not represent anyone I know, as is evidenced by their outright miss-information and lies about the Israel Supreme Court ruling the "settlers" be evicted. Nowhere in this ruling was that said by the Supreme Court. In their rush to condemn the settles as right wingers and now enemies of the state(taking proudly the Arab PLO/Hamas line), they show their true colors of ignorance and leadership. This is why they are shunned by most Orthodox groups and have fallen way below in their fundraising amongst non orthodox Jews even before the economic mess. That these guys run by faux Jews are considered the Voice of the Jews in America is an insult to every person who is literate enough to read the Israeli Supreme Court ruling. Between these neo revisionists Zionists who are so ashamed of the actions of a few, to project this incident, as the actions of all is atypical of the leftist ashamed-to-be-Zionist Jewish leaders that we have today. It’s almost as if the Zionism is Racism bill in the UN is still a living document in their minds as they rush to condemn a few radicalized youth, while remaining silent when leftist "peace-nicks" protesting the separation barrier daily conflict with the Israeli army, daily cause violence against the population living there and daily incite their Arab brethren to cause more harm. I do not recall the ADL or AJC condemning these leftist radicals lately or ever! Is it perhaps that the ADL and AJC fund these guys? Or because “their” cause is right and the settlers cause is wrong in their Gentile conscious minds? I wonder? 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Douglas- the commenter is not oblivious of the facts, he is just an outright anti-Semite cloaked in the new word for anti-Semitism today-Anti Israel. So we do not want to confuse this peace loving person with the actual truth-do we? Of course, based on what he wrote we should actually believe this mythical organization that claims to give money to the needy "Palestinians" (weep weep) work together with the Open Bethlehem charity as their reference. What the poster boy forgot to mention is that Open Bethlehem does not give food or support to the "poor" people, but funnels money to publicize the "plight" of the Bethlehem residents. Not a single penny actually goes to the people for food clothing or other expenses, but to the organizations that pay salaries to people to incite riots and protests and spread false information and innuendos. If you do not believe me please go their website www.openbehtlehem.com a simple Google search will do. So I guess their definition of charity does not mean the "Judo-Christian" charity we would imagine, but a political charity to- you guessed it, an Anti-Israel , anti-western organization using the Anglican Church as their cover. . I feel bad for this poster when he quotes Pax Christi (or is it Faux Christi ), whose activist Bruce Kent has not held one event in support of the people of Sderot, or given one of their " dollars" to the displaced Jewish poor who were thrown out of their homes, whose far-left activities would even make Marx and Lenin blush! You see Douglas we are not dealing with a Christian to ask him to do the Christian thing. We are dealing with, as I said from the outset, an anti Semite anti Israel leftist agitator that the Anglican Church seems to be promoting these days within their ranks. Mike 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 I am ashamed the Olmert is a Prime Minster of Israel. I am ashamed to say I support Israel because of what Olmert’s policies represents. I am ashamed and cringe when I hear Olmert say he is "Jewish" (sic). That Olmert is ashamed of the people who he throw out of their legitimately purchased homes without due process, to further his obscene and sickly policies threatening the destruction of Israel, is in of itself a re-affirmation of why this thief, briber, destroyer of Israeli society should immediately step down and GO HOME. That Israel’s single most existential threat today is NOT Iran, PLO, Hezbollah or Hamas but is Olmert himself, attests to the need to remove this poisonous cancer from Israeli society immediately and send him to live with his good buddy Abbas in a beautiful house in Ramallah or better yet Gaza ad mayah V'esrim 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Another meaningless, unimportant, arrogant, self-hating, "Jew" garnering publicity with their message that’s it’s OK to squash two thousand years of yearning and hope just to fulfill their desire to get 15 minutes of fame. When are these nuts, led by, going to pick up a history book to see what appeasement has to offer? Why does the JTA even bother with these Jewish anti-Semites? Perhaps Cohen and Olmert can move in together in the same house in Ramallah where they will be with their Arab brothers who just love them. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 This government gets more crazy by the day. 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00 Once again Olmert turns his back on Jewish history and yearning. Sometimes a line must be drawn even if it means war. As Olmert once again proves, the greatest existential threat to Israel today is NOT Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria or the PA, it is Olmert (and thinkers like him) who are so eager to give up their heritage and rights at the expense of the Jewish Nation. I am sure Abbas has a beautiful house set up for Olmert in Ramallah. Hopefully we can take up a collection for him to move there immediately, once he comes out of jail-of course 2009-11-20T;16:30:00-05:00
