I heard a recent segment on Rush the other day where some nimrod was trying to make a comparison between the French Resistance Fighters (read Palestinian Homicide-Bombers) and the NAZIs (read the ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES). And what is really scarey about this caller, is the FACT that the idiot is likely engaging in PROCREATION! Good GOD!!

First let me say the following as clearly and loudly as I can: I have fought against anti-Semitism all my life, against friends, colleagues, lovers, anyone who expressed anti-Jewish sentiments.

Until now.

They know they must tread carefully so as not to give succour to Jew-haters but unless they take an ethical position, they will be violating all that they stand for. As one Jewish South African friend, an artist, who lives in London put it: "I owe it to my father who fought against apartheid and my grandfather who died in Germany, not to let my people turn into fascists. Don't name me but I say that many of us are beginning to think that Israel is a burden on our backs instead of the imagined haven we grew up thinking it was, the place of safety and honour in an evil world. I will not stand by and let them do this in my name." Meaning, while I'm safe here in Highgate and Hampstead, I have saved our people from turning into fascists while the PLO slaughters every last one of them in Israel.

I remember one night in 1974 when I stood for four hours under a lamp-post in north Oxford recovering from a screaming row with my ex-husband after he accused me of being excessively emotional about the Holocaust.>>

Hilarious, in her mind, a domestic altercation with her drunken husband in 1974 is the clearest and loudest example she can think of of not being an anti-semite. And her solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict is not to take her vacation in Israel. What a flake.

I guess europe is no different today than they were 50 - 60 years ago. And it is a shame. How they are acting has sure opened my eyes to what europe actually is. I had hoped to visit sometime, but now, I know I'll never step foot over there. Maybe when things cool down and peace comes to the middle east, we'll visit Israel. I do know something, I'm going to do a search and find every product that Israel ships over here and I going to boycot crap made from europe. It use to make me wonder how Hitler marched through europe.....I don't wonder anymore.

Well now that the red cross has reported that the "slaughter" in Jeninn did not take place, it was just the usual lies and propaganda by the Palestinians, are you going to go out and never buy anything the Palestinians Export? Oh, wait, the only thing they export is International terrorism. You know, slaughter. Bet the Israel Boycot goes on anyway, never pass a chance to be a bigot and feel good about it!

Dan Halts Future Orders of German Buses
(IsraelNN.com) In response to a German government decision not to supply parts for the Merkavah tank, the Dan Bus Company on Sunday announced it was canceling an $18 million order for 100 German produced MAN buses. Company officials have instructed those responsible for the annual replacement of buses to begin negotiations with firms in other countries.

Thanks for posting. This article reminds me that I've been meaning to order one of these:

Fobus holsters are very high quality, and are made in Israel. I have one, and want another for a different piece of hardware.

Translation: I have lots of jewish friends. I know that they are jewish, because I went out of my way to make friends with them, especially since they are jewish.

I condemn the acts of suicide bombers whose own hopelessness makes them target Israelis in cafés

No, you freaking moron, it is not "hopelessness" that makes human bombs, but drugs and psycho-programming by their handlers!
