For Ben-David and Yisrael,

It seems that you don’t understand the basic point here: American olim are welcome in Israel, but why should they make aliyah to the West Bank and Gaza? These are areas that are considered Palestinian territory under international law.

Such a simple fact…..Perhaps your ulpan didn’t teach this?

Shimon, the Arabs will appreciate it if you back to Poland or Morocco or Russia or wherever YOU came from. Why do you have more of a right to live here then us American olim?

Sorry, Yisrael: A settler is a settler is a settler. However much you may want to re-brand your morally repugnant colonies with reference to the “revenant population in the Jewish national homeland,” you will not succeed.

Quit Palestine, and go back to the Bronx. You and other Jewish supremacists have brought nothing but misery to our country.

Shimon, I hope you don’t mind me recalling to you the basic principles of democracy, which include freedom of speech. I think my arguments on behalf of the revenant population in the Jewish national homeland are logical, rational, cogent and fairly indisputable. Sometimes I express an opinion that, I am sure, could be phrased better but I was born in The Bronx. Please point our any outrageous disparagements and I promise to review my language.

Yisrael Medad is probably the last person who should refer to a “low blow” –unless he renames his blog MyLowBlows.blogspot.com. Like most settlers, Yisrael has far too much time on his hands, and he uses much of his time (and much of his blog) to disparage those who believe that Israel’s land grabs are unsustainable –politically, economically and morally.

As I did not hear the interview, I cannot be sure but I am more than convinced that when Hagar said “In the end, the disengagement passed with zero casualties…”, his context most probably was (and the question he answered was not quoted) that the media had threatened the Israeli public with the picture of extremist settlers and their frothing-at-the-mouth supporters seeking to scare them that pandemonium and anarchy were about to break loose. The “casualties” Hagar, I presume, was referring to were those supposed to be have been caused by the protestors against the army, police, politicians and what not.

The comment about the invisible Arabs could be made about almost anything more than half the left-wing politicians say.

In other words, a low-blow by Gershom.

P.S. Weisgan eventually hanged himself in jail. Someone could think that was an indication as to his general mental state – at the time of his suicide and perhaps at the time of his murderous attack on Arabs.

Y Ben David : One other thing I wish to take issue with you and that is the mocking of the memory of Yitzhak Rabin by calling him “St. Rabin”.You can show your displeasure in a more meaningful way rather than besmirch him in such a tacky way. This Christian considers Rabin to be a giant along side so many “also rans” and a credit to Israel and the rest of the world who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs

Y, though we seem to disagree on other matters, I think the KKK comparison was a bit vulgar.

I’m sure Gershom is now furiously composing a deep and heartfelt apology to the Klan for equating them to Gaza settlers.

Mr Burns,

Who is responsible for the millions of Germans who died in the Second World War-Hitler or the Allies?
