AddReply(382253,"reply to Eric #37","Leah","Maaleh Adumim","01/08/09","yes, frustrating on both sides of \"the pond\".  but from my conversations with Israelis (including the non-religious ones) I feel that most people here are not evil or stupid, just misinformed.  \"misinformed\" can be fixed without a revolution.  as we say here - \"yihyeh tov\" - \"things will be good\" (even though that might take a while.)\n\nand it doesn\'t depend only on the Jews. we have a \"silent partner\" without whom Israel could not exist - the one who did miracles for us in 1948 and 1967 and to this very day.  see Deut 11:12 - G-d\'s eyes are on the land of Israel \"from the beginning of the year till the end of the year\".  we need it!  ;)\n");
AddReply(382039,"To Leah, #36","Eric","USA","01/08/09","Yes, Americans are just as ignorant and stupid as Jews are. As you say, the majority elected Obama. You don\'t have the monopoly on stupidity. But my concern is two-fold. One, Jews being G-d\'s chosen should know better than behave the way they do. It makes G-d look bad, if you get my point. If a people is supposed to be chosen by G-d to represent G-d on the earth, and if they behave and speak as stupidly as most Jews do on political matters, then that reflects rather poorly on G-d. You see, I care about G-d. But since G-d chose the Jews to be His people, He knows how foolish they can be. And too, G-d is not all serious, He needs some entertainment too. Choosing the Jews certainly provides that. And two, deep down, I have this need to see the Jews not only survive, but THRIVE. It is very important to me that they do. So when I see policies in Israel that I know will destroy them, it hurts.");

Mike\'s hatred would not accomplish anything except making Jews fight against each other, just what our enemies want. therefore it is good that Mike is far away in Vienna VA. we don\'t need him here. \n\nthere are much better ways to improve the situation in Israel and in fact it is gradually happening but not a matter of today-to-tomorrow. overcoming entrenched misinformation can be done but requires effort. of course if you write off the whole population of Israel as \"evil\", \"stupid\", \"incompetent\", that might make you feel smug but isn\'t true and doesn\'t solve the problem.\n\ninstead you should work on the question of why a majority of americans elected a communist moslem (read his books), who is probably not even US-born, as president.");
AddReply(381128,"To Leah #34: Liberals","Eric","USA","01/06/09","Mike would be a welcome addition to Israel. Mike would get things done, while liberal Leftists only talk peace with those who murder Jews. As for the typical Jew in Israel, if they still believe that--\"maybe we just didn\'t do it enough - we gave them land but not enough\"--then I have some choice cheese ocean front property on the moon I know they\'d love to buy. I mean really! How stupid can a Jew get? Even the dumbest liberal Jew in Israel must know by NOW that giving land for peace is the stupidest thing the Jew has thought of yet. You guys are great comedians, I\'ll give you that. But leave the politics to those who can think. Any Jew in Israel who dares to promote the idea of land for peace should be immediately committed to the insane asylum! Doesn\'t history mean a damn thing to you Jews? Grow a brain!

AddReply(380652,"more about Israeli news media","Leah","Maaleh Adumim","01/06/09","btw, maariv and yediot weren\'t always the leftist propaganda that they are now. they used to be normal and patriotic. the change happened gradually. that\'s why people in Israel don\'t know that they are getting propaganda. people grew up considering these papers to be normal, objective, mainstream.\n\nha\'aretz is even more leftist. (I don\'t know if it was always that way - probably not.) but ha\'aretz has a long-standing reputation as an upscale newspaper, like the NY Times. \n\nand the tv & radio news broadcasts, similarly, used to be normal and patriotic, but gradually became left-slanted.\n\nall this was a gradual change after 1967. and their leftist claims superficially sound believable. plus people have heard these claims so many times that they take it as axiomatic. \n\nin view of the brainwashing by US news media that caused the US to elect obama, I wouldn\'t blame Israelis.");
AddReply(380534,"To Leah #31","Eric","USA","01/06/09","Even if EVERY newsource in Israel were Leftist, shouldn\'t the Jews figure out sooner or later that being nice to people who shoot rockets into Israel, who murder people with suicide bombs, who keep attacking Israelis day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year, need to be stopped? Apparently not. The more rockets and suicide bombings that happen, the more land for peace was given. That\'s been the Jewish response to the problem. When Palestinians demand you kiss their feet, Jews ask, how many times. This pandering to one\'s enemies has got to stop. Stop grovelling! Fight, damn it! It\'s the Left that brainwashes the stupid Jew because the stupid Jew can\'t figure out that the Left\'s plan of giving land for peace isn\'t working. Look, if I were living in Israel, and the only media I could read were Leftist, I would still know something was wrong when rockets land.");
AddReply(380496,"to Eric","Leah","Maaleh Adumim","01/05/09","most Israeli Jews are neither leftist nor stupid. the \"mainstream\" media has been bombarding them for *decades* with certain leftist ideas, making certain things seem \"axiomatic\" here even though they\'re not even true. e.g. \"land for peace\", \"demographic problem\" etc. \n\nif your newspaper is called \"pravda\" then you know it\'s propaganda. if your newspaper is called \"maariv\" or \"yediot\" and you think that your country has a free press then you don\'t know that you\'re getting propaganda. \n\nthe nationalistic groups should be doing more to remedy this situation but they don\'t. don\'t blame the \"guy in the street\" who just doesn\'t have any other source of info (except e.g. A7 & Makor Rishon which are not perceived as objective.)\n\nbefore Copernicus, everyone believed that the sun revolved around the earth. were they all \"stupid\" and \"incompetent\" or did they just not have the info?");

If you are, then most Israelis are not Leftist, just easily brainwashed, and too incompetent to think for themselves about important political matters. That is the logical conclusion to make from your view of Jews in Israel. If so, if they really are so stupid, so easily brainwashed, they might as well *be* Leftists, because the Leftist minority puppet masters control their brainwashed puppets, and have them dancing on their strings.

AddReply(380387,"To Leah #27: Most Israelis aren\'t Leftist??","Eric","USA","01/05/09","I disagree with you. I would say that most Israelis are Leftist, and most American Jews are Leftist. The problem with being Leftist is that they don\'t learn from history very well. For instance, Leftists stated that if we gave more land to the Palestinians, they would respect us and finally leave us in peace. But history has proven, time and again, that when you give anything to the Palestinians, whether it be land or guns or money, they use it against Israelis. If you give Palestinians land, they launch rockets into Israel from it. If you give Palestinians guns, they shoot Israelis with them. If you give Palestinians money, they buy weapons to kill Israelis. Leftists are what Mike (and I) hate and despise. They are the embodiment of all that\'s wrong in Israel. They are stupid, not learning from history, what happens when they acquiese to Palestinians, thus destroying Israel.");
AddReply(380296,"to Eric about Mike","Leah","Maaleh Adumim","01/05/09","Mike\'s constant irrational rants are very little about fighting arabs (our real enemy) and almost completely, repeatedly, about fighting Israeli Jews. but most of the Israeli Jews are not leftist. they simply believe what they read in the mainstream Israeli newspapers, not realizing that they are reading leftist propaganda. the leftists control the media and courts, and through these control the govt; but this can be changed. we need better ways to get the truth to the Israeli population and we can change Israel to the proud, patriotic country that it should be (and once was).\n\nMike isn\'t suggesting change, just hatred of Jews. I think he is a hamas mole trying to get us to fight each other instead of fighting our real enemy.\n\nand to Y, Nitzan - thanks for the important points.");
AddReply(379863,"To Y, Nitzan, #25","Eric","USA","01/04/09","Thank you for some clarification about Mike from Vienna. However, I was speaking only about Mike\'s strong verbage regarding the Islamic enemies of Israel. I have also read his comments about what he thinks should be done with Jews, especially the Leftist Jews. It is here that seems to bother many of his readers. I believe that Mike is mostly correct, however. My methods would be different than his, that is, I wouldn\'t kill the Leftists, but I would do what I could to disgrace them to the point they choose to leave office due to the total incompetence they exhibit with regard to the late IDF response to a very early Hamas problem. I would even go so far as to brand these high government officials as traitors, in which they could be sent to prison for treason. The Leftist doctrine and behavior engenders terrorism. The latest proof is the use of Gaza to launch missiles into Israel.");
AddReply(379576,"To Eric # 23 re: \"mike of vienna\"","Y","Nitzan","01/04/09","The problem with \"mike of vienna\" is not his hatred of arabs, or the islamic enemy or tough decisions about how to deal with this enemy.  Most of \"mike of vienna\"\'s ravings are about the \"Israeli enemy\" - specifically Israeli Jews (an oxymoron in his book).  He frequently exhorts his readers on TB\'s to kill the \"Israeli enemy\" in order to destroy Israel or at least violently remove it from Judea and Samaria in order to establish a Medinat Yehuda.  No invective is too vile in his reference to the Israeli (\"non Jew\", \"kapo\", \"rapist\", \"murderer\", \"pogromist\", \"enemy of Jews\"). I suggest you review some old blogs and see who \"mike of vienna\" really hates and how he proposes to deal with the Israelis.");

He avoids the social niceties, and just states the problem directly, not caring if it hurts your feelings. But if you analyze what Mike is saying, he is correct. Mike would make an excellent general. He can make the tough decisions, \'nice people\' don\'t want to articulate, much less make. You say that Mike should not come to Israel because of all his \"hate\". You Jews could use a lot more of Mike\'s hate. It\'s hate, specifically hatred of evil (Islamic terroism/fascism) that Mike hates. His hatred is a rational hatred. Hate gets things done, while speaking nicely about one\'s enemies does nothing but cook the frog in the pot even hotter. And if you knew your own holy books, you would know that there is a time to hate---see Ecclesiastes. By the way, that time is now! Hate your enemy. Don\'t be so Christ-like for G-d\'s sake!

AddReply(377631,"Being nice to those who want to kill you","Eric","USA","12/31/08","is a questionable strategy and likely to fail. The stupid Jew thinks that they should be nice to their mortal enemies and here is why. The stupid Jew has a world view of niceties that he/she expects their enemies also to have. Their enemies don\'t. Because the stupid Jews thinks this way, they are doomed to more Holocausts. The stupid Jew is often highly educated, but completely idealistic having an unrealistic world view toward their enemies. This is why the stupid Jew goes to the ovens. In contrast, the smart Jew has a realistic world view, knowing the mindset of his/her enemies, knowing that you cannot make nice or reason treaties with them. The smart Jew is wary of the lies of his/her enemies, because he/she knows their heart, their true intentions. The smart Jew knows that to create peace, he/she will have to fight the enemy to obtain it. This is the difference between Jews.");
