AddReply(427124,"#8 Agreed","Leah","Chicaog","04/21/09","BS\"D\n\nI am not disagreeing that domestic antisemites are the most damaging sort of Israeli Jew around. My point was this: The ones who target the larger markets of the US and Europe are doing the most damage. Steven Amsel is a domestic viper. He lives in Jerusalem. The horrible way he portrays Israel and Israeli Jews is twisted, right up there with the worst of Der Sturmer, Goebbel\'s style lies. His work deserves attention, he needs to be shut up, and if possible deported as a traitor.");
AddReply(426556,"Actually, the domestic vipers are worst.","sk","USA","04/20/09","I think some of you fail to appreciate just how damaging \"journalists\" like the one showcased are.  As they are Israeli and nominal Jews, they actually help catalyze anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish sentiment everywhere.\n\nI generally have little good to say about our intrepid essayist, YM.  Nevertheless, he has identified a scoundrel worth \"contacting,\" if only by emails letting him know he is being watched (I\'d prefer rotten eggs for a start).  I would say that the Israeli media must be considered the first major target, as the media are important players in maintaining the status quo and do not have the protections that government honchos have.");
AddReply(426196,"Antisemitic Jews","Leah","Chicago","04/20/09","BS\"D\n\nWhile I agree that antisemitic articles, media etc. in Israel need to be addressed, it seems to me antisemitic Jews who live in Israel and blog to an audience in Europe and America are far more dangerous to Israel\'s security than those who aim at the much smaller, much better informed (on all things Israeli) audience within Israel. \n\nOne blog in particular really gets under my skin. The guy who runs it is Steven Amsel, and his blog is called \"DesertPeace\". Here is the homepage link. http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/\n\nIn addition to Amsel, Ben Heine, Carlos Latoff, David Baldinger and Khaled Amayreh also contribute to the blog. Heie\'s skills as an illustrator/cartoonist are used in putting out Naziesque style propaganda. He would fit in well under Goebbels. \n\nAmayreh writes long twisted pieces, one I remember in particular, which demanded that \"good Jews\" cease supporting Israel, else they would be in the same category as \"good Germans\" who were too cowardly to stand up to the Nazis. \n\nOne example of many:\n\nhttp://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2009/04/12/photo-essay-gaza-crucified/\n\nAmsel lives in Jerusalem, lists that on his blog.  For over a year he has said he\'s lived there for 23 years. Time for an update? He obviously thinks that fact lends him credibility. He is the son and grandson of a Holocaust survivor. He used to work with Avraham Burg, and as I understand it, even Burg couldn\'t stomach him. But he is doing Israel\'s reputation great damage in the US. I would love to get a coooperative together that would focus on delegitimizing Amsel & friends, aka Desertpeace.\n\nWhat I don\'t understand is this: If the Hasidim could suffer a Herem, if Spinoza had to suffer a Herem, why oh why don\'t Jews who are the obvious enemies of their own people suffer with this? Why do we have to claim them as Jews when they have aabandoned all things Jewish, having done so far as to join our enemies?");
AddReply(426118,"Now I Get It","Malka","upstate NY","04/19/09","I sort of thought Maariv was on the liberal side and this was a jab at Conservative Israelis, religious settlers in particular.\n\nThe timing is still extremely poor, even for Maariv and a lets equate Conservative Israeli Jews with Nazi-themed satire. The Holocaust Memorial month and week? Come on now.\n\nI\'m not going to email the guy who drew the picture. What good would it do? Nor will I give Maariv the journalistic advice: \"When in doubt, Leave it out.\"");

April 20?\n\nI don\'t know...maybe I haven\'t seen enough pictures of Lieberman but I wouldn\'t have recognized him immediately from this PhotoShop Hitler picture.\n\nJust Hitler in lipstick with the moustache and thick dark eyebrows. I don\'t know...It seems wrong to publish any picture of Hitler in an Israeli newspaper without a darn good reason to do so. \n\nI guess the satire would have gone way over my head. I don\'t know German so the meine leibe thing was just German-sounding words and Hitler.\n\nWhat\'s it doing in an Israeli newspaper? \n\nAgain, if its satire it zoomed over my head.");
AddReply(425768,"The Left & Their Nazi/Islamist Fixation","Adina Kutnicki","Israel,new olah","04/18/09","I am not shocked, shocked. As a matter of fact, many on the left in Israel are little different than the Nazis were in their propaganda. Both want to see Jews disappear. One more overtly, the other more covertly\nIt is not for nothing that there are many on the Israeli left who are active  proponents of our suicidal land give aways.");
AddReply(425744,"My email to Lahav.","sk","USA","04/18/09","Dear Mr. Lahav:\n\nIt looks like your \"art\" has gotten some exposure you didn\'t expect:\n\nhttp://www.israelnationalnews.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/5\n\nReally, though, do you know how tiresome it is when the Israeli Left (which has only contempt for democratic principles, as shown by its opposition to proper checks and balances in Israel) blathers about Nazis?  I mean, it couldn\'t be more clear that much of the Left would like to see the settlers dead, hating them for being Jews first, not Israelis first.  So, the Left (by which I mean you, your newspaper, and every other major newspaper in Israel) both hates Jews and hates the idea of implementing a reasonable democratic republic, as doing the latter would empower the non-Left (not just the settlers).  In other words, the Left has more in common with Hitler than Lieberman does.\n\nBTW, I\'m a secular Jew.  So you can\'t write me off as a crazy settler.\n\nSincerely,\n\nsk\n");
AddReply(425627,"Fight back - Here\'s an idea","Michelle","Vancouver","04/17/09","Create a yearly \'prize\' for the most anti-Semitic Israeli media content in categories such as essay, fiction, and of course cartoons.  \n\nYou could also add a category for press releases such as those by Peace Now, Machsom Watch and others.  \n\nJust choosing the name for this prize would be half the fun.\n\nIt\'s no good to accept the role of victim that the left wants you to take.  It\'s important to fight back in every instance.  \n\nThe yearly ceremony would not cost a lot of money to organize.  And you would receive help with plenty of submissions for your judging panel.  Al-Ha\'aretz would of course be one of the perennial favorites.\n\nThe Anti-Semitic definition would include the use of Nazi propaganda tactics, as well as the use of Jewish stereotypes, slander, and any type of outright lies.  \n\nI\'d love to see a category for politicians and other civil servants who specialize in demonizing a certain type of Jew, but I don\'t think that there would be much chance of that.... In such category I would put those who have accused nationalists of carrying out \"pogroms\" for example, or of \"thinking\" about using terrorism without any basis whatsoever.  And it goes without saying that the Big Winners would be those who destroy homes or whole communities because they are inhabited by the \"wrong kind of Jew\".\n\nWhat\'s really important is to OUT those acting behind the cover of false Zionism or Human Rights Advocacy, and show them for what they really are:  Unpatriotic, unprincipled, slanderous, treasonous and utterly destructive Self-Hating Jews. \n");
AddReply(425518,"Lahav needs to go back to school...","MED","USA","04/17/09","...to learn some geography, history, perhaps even graphic art and also the German language!  \n\nHow can Lahav call Lieberman \'Meine Liebe\' (= my dear woman or girl) when we know who Avigdor Lieberman really is.  Does lipstick on a man make him a woman?   \n\nSince Lahav is so enamored by the  German language, the Goethic script, German history, perhaps Israel can very well deport this fellow to Germany.  He\'ll have good company among the crypto-Nazis there.\n\nAll this time we thought that the Left and their media cohorts -- whether it be in Israel or the US -- love the fascists, the communists & Islamo-Nazis.   And there in Israel the left considers Lieberman a fascist?  What\'s wrong with these mentally retarded liberals?");
