I guess you haven't been watching the French TV then for making comments without knowing; because the officials of both communities (and ordinary people), Jewish and Muslims, strongly condemned those atrocities. They even organized a common ceremony. Because both communities lost members to this f**cker.

The problem is not Islam in itself. The problem emanates from Muslims who come to Western countries and import a way of life that doesn't go along the values of those countries; and they try to defend those values in the name of their religion.

Often the crisis comes from second-generation Muslims who feel on the margins of the society in which they were born because their parents brought them up with different standards. They feel rejected by their country and then cling to what they think is their religion and a normal way of life when it is an extreme interpretation of a book.

Islam is just a tool in their fight.

But Islam, as any other religion, is able to dissolve in a modern society. Just look at the soldiers who were slain, they were a living proof that Islam and a modern society are compatible.

I'm atheist by the way, I'm just analyzing facts.

The problem is Islam. Muslims in the ME, Asia, Africa, Europe and America attack those who are not Muslim. The Muslim's world is the world of peace--only for those who believe. Everyone else is an infidel.

A new wave of Islamic persecution of Christians and Jews is on the march in the Muslim world today. An estimated 500,000 Christians have fled Iraq since we toppled Saddam Hussein. Coptic churches are being torched in Egypt. Bethlehem, whose population once was over 85% Christian, is now estimated to be less than 10% Christian. And the jihadist genocide in Sudan has claimed an estimated 1.5 million lives.

Nice, Rachel. Islam is a religion of peace, but only for believers. Is that why the Sunnis and Shiites are constantly slaughtering each other?

Islam is medieval superstition totally incompatible with 21st Century knowledge and values. Like communism, it will end up in the dustbin of history.

No, there are no postings, muslims don't post thoughts, they only cowardly kill innocents, women, children, non believers, all the while claiming it is for thier god...what a hideous, hate filled, cowardly, scum culture!

Meanwhile the IDF and the settlers continue to slaughter Palestinian children at will. All of you outraged at the murders of three Jewish children don't seem to give a rat's about the genocide ongoing in Israel.

I think the distinction between the two is the jewish children were targeted delibaretley, whre isrealis claim its unintentional (Because they are in the vicinity of so-called guerillas etc) when palestinian children are killed.

Do not get me wrong, I am not defending israelis by no means; They did and continue to massacre innocent women & children in the "modern" concentration camps in palestine.

The reason they get away with it is the media control here in US and elsewhere...

Even the die-hard liberals elect not to talk about it, probably because they fear they lose their job... and labeled anti-semit...

You remember 4-5 months ago israel & US worked up over palestinian application to UN?

What happened since?

IF any Pal kids died, and often their deaths are lies either in the death itself (like Mohammed al Dura, who was found alive and whose "death" was proved a propaganda piece by French TV) or in the way they died (auto accidents, honor-killings, stray Pal rocket deaths labeled as "Death by Israel"), it was because the scummy Pals used schoolyards as rocket launch sites, etc.

One Israeli should be worth...ummmm, maybe 10,000 muslims?

the only apartheid is in muslim countries: egypt, jordan, iraq, etc. ridding the areas of their ancient jewish populations and now their somewhat-less-ancient-but-way-older than muslim populations of christians!!!

we civilized westerners won't be fooled forever.

Thanks Rachel...correctly stated, there is no hiding the hate and corruption of the islamist people and thier backward, failed nations. Thier goal of killing non believers, Coptic Christians and Jews is documented correctly almost on a daily basis.

Unite??? yeah thats a laugh!!!! Get more than a couple dozen of you whakos together and someone is getting blown up or beheaded for some perceived slight to your pedophile profit. unite indeed

I wish you were here next to me Kari so you could see the funny pictures I'm drawing of Mohammad the Pederast

I wish you were here next to me

My guess is you have a dik in your behind right now...

thats not a guess thats your fantasy

Kari, you are a fool. Don't you realize that the acts of Muslim terrorists have destroyed any sympathy the West may have had for the plight of Palestinians? The Palestinians had their chance to establish a Palestinian state, but the PLO and Yasser Arafat walked away from a fair agreement with the Israelis. Subsequent actions by Muslim extremists have alienated the civilized world and wrecked hopes for a Palestinian state any time soon. You can march all you want; humanity is not watching.

And the place has never looked nicer

A new wave of Islamic persecution of Christians and Jews is on the march in the Muslim world today. An estimated 500,000 Christians have fled Iraq since we toppled Saddam Hussein.

Jerusalem is JEWISH and Christian. CHRIST was Jewish--declared that when the Romans killed him as "The King of the Jews."

The muslims think every grain of sand on Earth belongs to them. Most Palestinians are one brain cell away from being like Mohammad Mareh.

We are now in 2012, and we are still living in exile or under the Israeli apartheid regime

here are the South African laws, that pertain to the discriminatory practice, known as apartheid. In reality, using logic and reason,and empirical evidence, can it be stated that Israel is an apartheid state ?

Looking at said laws, prove, that any claim of Israel practicing apartheid is ridiculous !!!!

Under the Reservation of Separate Amenities Act of 1953, municipal grounds could be reserved for a particular race, creating, among other things,

separate beaches,

There is no such policy in Israel (HOT Israeli women enjoying a day at the beach) Hot Arab Muslim woman at the beach in Tel Aviv, if she continues to wear that Burka in the midday sun, she may die of heat stroke.

buses,

Arabs, whether Muslims or Christians, are not restricted in Bus travel. Israel even runs a bus service extended in to the disputed teritories .(even after Palestinians blowing up many buses, Hijackings, killing many Israelis)

hospitals,

Arabs whether Muslim or Christian can go to any hospital and receive free health care

schools and universities.

are open to all regardless of ethnic, or religious reasons

Signboards such as "whites only" applied to public areas,

There are no "Jews only" signs.

even including park benches.^[26] Black people were provided with services greatly inferior to those of whites, and, to a lesser extent, to those of Indian and coloured people.^[2]

Further laws had the aim of suppressing resistance, especially armed resistance, to apartheid. The Suppression of Communism Act of 1950 not only banned the South African Communist Party and any other party subscribing to Communism,

Israel has, and had, anti-Israeli, Arab, members of the Knesset

there is in fact a communist party in Israel who include both Arab, and Jewish,"anti Zionist" activists.

but defined Communism and its aims so sweepingly that it had the effect of
legally gagging any opposition to government policy, especially to apartheid.
Disorderly gatherings were banned, as were certain organisations that were
deemed threatening to the government.

Education was segregated by means of the 1953 Bantu Education Act, which crafted a
separate system of education for African students

Education is not restricted by race or religion.

and was designed to prepare black people for lives as a labouring class.^[27]
In 1959 separate universities were created for black, coloured and Indian
people.

By now, it should be understood, that under the definition of apartheid, Israel is not an apartheid state. Because it can not be supported, by any known observable reality. I Wonder people know that they have bought in to the naritive provided by these dudes, who's leaders say @!$%# like this.

Kariny...obviously you have neither reason, nor intelligence, and with your comments you demonstrate and prove both. However you might look carefully at Israel, a successful, modern, democratic, educated country developing itself with farming, commerce,business and all those things that the arab-muslim corrupt, uneducated adjacent countries cannot manage to do. If there were ever an argument for democracy and education this would be a good example. The muslims and palestinians whine and moan, yet do nothing productive, only foster hate and killing which are the basics of islam.

Kariny...if your people had any intelligence at all they would follow the lead of Israel and learn to be productive, educated, successful and with a quality of life that you can now only imagine. Learn from Israel!

If you're an American Christian well, shame, shame, shame on our school system. You write like an ignorant Palestinian.

The Big Lie: "Israel Apartheid"

by Christine Williams

Campuses across Canada engaged in Israel Apartheid Week (IAW) events last week amid justified rebukes by the federal government. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney linked IAW to anti-Semitism and accused organizers of using "the cover of academic freedom to demonize and delegitimize the state of Israel" and paint it as racist. In pointing to Israel being the only liberal democracy in the Middle East and singled out for condemnation, Kenney also stated that organizers of IAW ignore the brutal slaughter of the Al-Assa d regime of its own people and the suppression of basic human rights throughout many countries in the Middle East.

Israel Apartheid week began in Toronto in 2005 after Palestinian organizations called for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against the state of Israel. The groups erroneously compared Israel 's treatment of the Palestinians to the treatment of South African blacks, when powerful campus movements had lobbied for divestments and boycotts against South Africa for black liberation. In 1983, the UN levied its condemnation of the practice of apartheid at the World Conference against Racism, where over two dozen countries took part in trade sanctions against South Africa . At the 2001 Durban I Anti-Racism Conference, the agenda was hijacked by Israeli antagonists, led by Iran and then Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat. Israel was singled out as a racist regime and a similar course followed as in the South African anti-apartheid movements, only it was a demonization of Israel that was unjustified. Adding fuel was that South African Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu spuriously compared the conditions of which the Palestinians live to those of South Africa under apartheid.

The goal of Israel Apartheid Week is to erode Zionism and delegitimize the state of Israel. The strategy is a protraction of the Arab nationalist movement and that of Palestinian Radicalism which strives to work against Israel and the Jewish people, evidenced in the collaboration between Adolph Hitler, Adolph Eichmann and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during World War II. In an open letter, Palestinian students urge fellow students worldwide to unite for Israel Apartheid Week in widespread harassment, bullying and intimidation of Jewish students. Organizers also call for BDS. Nowhere is the mention of the Palestinian call for Israel's destruction as outlined in both the PA and Hamas Charters.

Even before the State of Israel was established, Israel was sensitive to human rights, and Jewish leaders sought to avoid any situation similar to South Africa, as David Ben-Gurion expressed to Palestinian nationalist Musa Alami in 1934. Today, this commitment can be clearly seen in the State of Israel where Arabs are full citizens with the right to vote, the right to have their own political parties, the right to hold top positions, as they do in Israel's supreme court, its diplomatic corps, all of Israel's hospitals and universities, and even as members of Israel's parliament, the Knesset. Under apartheid, black South Africans were not even allowed to hold citizenship or vote in the very country in which they held the demographic majority. The Palestinian experience in the territories along the separation fence and in the so-called "occupied territories" was put there because of the determination of Palestinians, both in the PLO and Hamas to destroy Israel, as could be seen before the fence was built by the bombings of hotels, discotheques, cafes, and buses. Those territories under dispute were taken by Israel in wars in i947 and 1967, in which Israel, the size of Vancouver Island, was forced to defend itself: both times, five neighboring countries invaded Israel in efforts to destroy it. Israel still needs to defend itself not only from rocket-fire and other attacks, but most recently from continued threats of genocide by Iran, especially should it acquire nuclear capability.

Even after the South African Judge, Richard Goldstone, later retracted his own, UN-sponsored Goldstone report, Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon said that, like any country, Israel would defend its citizens against Gaza attacks. This is a very different situation than under South African apartheid. Egypt too erected a wall of separation from the Gaza Strip; the barrier was dubbed the Wall of Shame by Arab writers and leaders for isolating 1.5 million Palestinians, yet Egypt has not been branded "apartheid" by their Muslim "brothers."

While the propaganda of Israel Apartheid Week spreads, the economic growth in the West Bank is 4%, compared to 3% in the U.S., and an astronomical 28% in Gaza. The IDF's Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea and Samaria, Major General Eitan Dangot noted that every day, Israel transfers luxuries into Gaza, including LCD screens, Mercedes and Hyundai jeeps, modern refrigerators, and whirlpool bathtubs. He added that Israel has invested over 50 million shekels, or over USD $10 million, in renovating and expanding the Kerem Shalom crossing through which most of the goods enter Gaza. Any segregation of the Palestinians is based entirely on Israeli security needs, not on racism.

Supporters of Israel Apartheid drives should instead take aim at Hamas, along with other terrorist regimes seeking to destroy the Jewish state and slander its citizens, and who also subject their own citizens to human rights violations. A gay man from the West bank, now living in Tel Aviv for 12 years, and featured in Haaretz, for example, arrived in Israel at age 14 because, he says: "If I returned to Nablus, it would be like throwing paper into a fire." He rarely goes back to visit his family for fear of attack and torture by Palestinian police. As even interim Canadian Liberal Leader Bob Rae noted in a release this past week: "Israeli Apartheid Week continues to defy logic and the cause of social justice." He went on to state that organizers of IAW choose to ignore the appalling massacres and human rights violations currently going on in Syria and Iran.

Apartheid in Israel does not exist; however, gender apartheid , in which women are treated as things, but things that carry your honor; and apartheid against gays -- as well as racism and slavery against blacks, Palestinians and non-Muslims -- are all commonplace in the Muslim world. In Saudi Arabia, some roads are marked for Muslims and others for non-Muslims; Bibles are not even allowed into the country. In Lebanon, Palestinians are unable to become citizens or work a number of jobs , and are kept in overcrowded and wretched ghettos called "refugee camps." As Canada's Immigration Minister Jason Kenney noted about Israel Apartheid Week: "There is a point at which well-intentioned debate is overrun by hatred and intolerance; creating a toxic environment that prevents meaningful dialogue on important issues from taking place." This intimidation and toxicity has no place on the campuses of our Western societies.

This charge of "apartheid" is a big red herring designed to take attention away from Muslim terrorism and the failed "Arab Spring."

Opinion... to Kariny

And why shouldn't the jews have their homeland just like the palestinians ?? ...they WERE driven out by the Romans from that area according to history (Read it !!) and then finally made their way back to THEIR occupied lands generations later..!! They are part of middle east history.. and like it or not, they need a homeland, especially after what happened in WWll. Why can't Egypt, Jordan and others form a homeland out of the Sinai for the palestinians, and have the world participate in rebuilding the area for them as a new Palestine ?? What is wrong with these Arab nations doing this for their own people and end the suffering by so many..???

"So go had"??? yes sure you're an American, guess you dropped out of school before 2nd grade. BTW im no Zionist I'm Irish =D

English as a third language? (interpreting - "...go AHEAD..." seems to make sense)

shot in the head was the last I heard

Dr OZ is muslim

Bones to Cap'n Kirk
