" David Goldstein, I understand that you are Jewish (from your family name) and so this reaction is accordingly. As far as you try to escape your Jewish identity more you remain Jewish. We, the Jews, in kind of self perspective knew that many of our Jewish brothers are kind of loopy, sometime kind of recipe for creativity and many time recipes for disaster. As long you remain Jewish and bring to the air of this world new generation of Jews that remain and keep their Jewish identity I ready to receive spitting in my face. After the holocaust and in the darkened of the current disaster in the Jewish Diaspora, especially in U.S.- the assimilation-I demand you, in the name of many Jews that bear the charge of being Jews, to fulfill your obligation as a Jewish as mention above.

" Just wondering where all the anti semites have been hiding...any chance they get they come out of their holes deep in the ground and look for any news to stick it to Israel. The first comment about a black Bush is really amazing because this person is able to be a bigot, a leftist and an anti semite all in one comment. I'm always amazed at the stupidity of the Jew haters and how they concoct their bigotry in the many different ways. What is wrong with a country building weapons to defend itself??? I'm sure if your family were threatened you would at least clench your fist. "

" Great, now the US is tucking in the sheets as it sleeps with Israel's agressive dreams of "security" - if you want a secure Israel start to really work toward peace within the whole world that is viewing you with dreaded anticipation.The world has experienced your 'peace' it doesn't work - so change your tune as an ally of your neighbors. Impossible, you say. You're right. Most of the zionist Istraelis don't even originate from the Middle East- you are not their allies because you are not their original neighbors.
Read The Invention of the Jewish Nation by Sholmo Sands and The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler. Facts will find truth, everytime. "
