Oh, good grief! When the Israelis stop allowing foreign media into the country to ask Israeli citizens that question, then you can worry about it.

Unfortunately, you can say they are imprisoning themselves, but what choice do they have when they are attacked on a daily basis? They did not have a fence for the past 30 years when Israel had peace - so they thought - with Egypt. So who is breaking it now?

It is like a solitary confinement for their own citizen's protection.

Any source other than Wikipedia?

You didn't tell it all, just the parts that support your anti-Jew hatred.

Actually, criticizing Israel is anything but "Jew-hatred." Israel is founded on Zionism and its founding principles of property theft, property destruction, water resource theft and natural resource theft for illegal Jews-only settlement and colonization in Palestine. Zionism developed as a carbon-copy of the ultra-nationalist movements that swept Europe in the late 19th century.

In 1919, a group of leading American Zionists were invited by President Woodrow Wilson to testify before his King-Crane commission that examined the future for world peace following WW1. They declared: "The Zionists look forward to the almost complete dispossession of the non-Jewish population from Palestine in the near future."

Thus, in 1919 Zionist intentions had been clearly stated and continue in practice to this day. This year Israel has stolen more Palestinian land south of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to expand illegal Jews-only settlement. Israel continues its steady ethnic cleansing of non-Jews from East Jerusalem in its illegal attempt to annex that sector of the city and incorporate it into a so-called "united" Jerusalem under Israeli ownership. Israel is attempting illegally to annex the occupied Golan Heights from Syria. Israel has built a concrete and steel wall of separation and property theft that snakes through the occupied West Bank, including around Bethlehem, making the town now look like a prison complete with guard towers. Israel's wall has been ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice in the Hague.

All of this has been carried out as Israel has violated, refused to honor, ignored or rejected one peace agreement after another, and been rewarded in doing so by the most generous subsidy from US taxpayers to any country on earth.

"The Oslo [peace] accords may be regarded as the biggest disaster to befall Israel." --- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in the Northern California Jewish Bulletin, Dec. 2001.

Many Jews of conscience oppose these Zionist principles, intentions, policy statements and actions by Israel and its leaders as racist, supremacist, and antithetical to peace. They, and those informed Gentiles who support them, must be expressing "anti-Jew hatred."

screminmimi, if there is so much else to tell, then why not share it. What exactly was it that the U.S. did to deserve being attacked by Israel. Please enlighten us all.....

As to your comment about me hating Jews, we all recognize that this is just a method employed by Zionist to silence any criticism of behavior that would otherwise be unacceptable. It's always used when Zionist logic is weak and their arguments fail. Quite frankly, the stifling of this type of dialogue with regards to the welfare of the United States should not only be regarded as UN-American, it is anti-American. Perhaps you should consider the priority of your loyalties.

Anything besides a 50 years ols story in a war zone? like USS Cole? or WTC? they are not mentioned because they were done by your friends?

If you read the report on Jew Watch, it tells a more concise story.

screminmimi, there is conciseness and there is omission. The report on Jew Watch is so concise that it omits such items as:

In March 2005, Israel publicly honored the surviving operatives, and President Moshe Katsav presented each with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the state, ending decades of official denial by Israel.

farideh, how about the attack on the USS Liberty that was done by your countrymen..... There is also enough substantiated evidence to question Israel's part in 9/11. It would be absurd to call this ridiculous as it's already been established that Zionists are willing to cause harm to the U.S. to further their own perverted cause....the securing of an apartheid state, without regard to the harm caused others.

Truth seems to be the one thing Zionist fear and hate the most.

Jew watch? is that your source of news? should I have a reason to believe your comments are worthless and without foundation? I let people decide - specially when you make an effort to remind us about a 50 years old story in a war zone, but make every effort not to mention the USS Cole done by your friends.

Why is that? I wonder.

alsosprac - Iranians are my countrymen. Iran did not attack the Liberty. Your hatred is clogging your narrow pipeline in between the ears.

farideh, we've already established that you are most definitely not Iranian.....remember?

Jew Watch was recommended by screminmimi....not me. But then accuracy has never been your thing, has it?

And how exactly did you "establish" that? would you please explain it to me. I am very interested to know where I was born.

But you and a bunch of Jew haters all take the word of a ship captain who is being "retired" because he was "slipping gears" in the head, and several of his crew members who were understandably upset.

Sure, let's just belittle those that were actually there. Have you ever met anyone that was on the Liberty? I have. You are just another smack talking porch sitter that has never done one thing for this country. And the investigations you refer to have all been questioned and debunked....every one.

It was “one of the classic all-American cover-ups,” said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Akins.

Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested.

Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone calls from Israel.

The pilot's protests also were heard by radio monitors in the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon. Then-U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter has confirmed this. Porter told his story to syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak and offered to submit to further questioning by authorities. Unfortunately, no one in the U.S. government has any interest in hearing these first-person accounts of Israeli treachery. [Washington Report]

But hey, you're probably right. I mean after all, there's never been a cover up here....right?

Why would Israel attack a U.S. ship with unmarked airplanes?? Did you just not read the part about the Lavon Affair? Come on dude, get a clue....

We all got a clue that you are clinging onto a long-dead and buried conspiracy theory because you have no case against Israel today. Reality is against you, so you need to divert the attention somehow.

They are finally exercising democracy Tom...

Mubarek the "modern slave" scared the manure out of people who thought why they had to allow isrealis massacres their brothers & sisters...

Egyptians would embrace full democracy and peace.

That's because Egypt is now under the control of Obamas friends in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Abdallah Abdallah

They are finally exercising democracy Tom

..by taking it for a long jog off a short pier.

Do not get exiceted math.... US is not behind isreal anymore... Do not f*ck with egypt; they will kick isreali's butts and go to jerussalem in two days..

If US behind you, like in all those previous wars, then you can win. Without US, isreal is as good as a fighting force as Ahmedinejad is a peace moderator...

Egypt would lose a war to Rhode Island. In fact Israel beat the crap out of every Arab country in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973 without anyone's help. The next war Egypt starts and loses will be awesome because after that the new Capitol of Israel will be closer to the pyramids. Imagine goingto Cairo and getting decent food instead of the disgusting swill served in their finest restaurants now.

jeff,

Just think about mullahs in lebanon... Five years ago, isreal begged for ceasefire because despite F-16s, abrams, apachis and all that they were beaten, and stirred...

abdullah - You and alsosprac are not part of a terrorist anti American or anti Israel group planning another attack, are you? Your posts sound that you are very happy with all these suffering by Americans and fully support the terrorists attacking us. I hope I am wrong.

farideh, let's make one thing perfectly clear, YOU are not one of us!! You are just one of the Israeli propagandist who patrol these boards hoping to disseminate inaccurate information to the unsuspecting. Israel is in trouble in the U.S. and you folks know it. Zionist are scared to death of a well informed American public. Truth is the one thing Zionist fear and hate the most.

Alsosprac,

You work for CAIR or do you just pray 5 times a day? Myself, I like the three stooges cartoons, especially the ones where they are running around in the harems. I believe everyone should get naked and eat some forbidden fruit before lunch. The world, I beleeve is sick and tired of religions murdering people for the hateful religious dogma that the Hebrews originally cursed the world with. Society has managed to control the Jews and the Christians through the one thing Ruthless people understand, that is Blood shed. The problem with Islam is that the western society vainly tried to support it for strictly economic reasons, back in the 17th centuy to the 20th century. It should have been destroyed for the hateful plague it is on the world. They allow the extremist to thrive wher e Chrictians and Jews learned to control their crazies.

The Jews agreed with Barry in supporting Gays which says they have become more tolerant, where the Muslims in 2010 agreed that all Homosexauls need to die. Now, I know we have our share of Homophobes here in America, but at tleast we have laws to protect citizens. The Muslims, however would go as a Mob and drag the people out of their homes stone them or burn them, or chop off their heads for fun. The poison fruit of Religion is not the sins listed in the Old Testament, but the fanatical mobs of people that BELIEVE God has given them his power to judge others.

They are death dealers and the only way to stop them is with the same death dealing. Survival is the issue here. do we join them or fight them? there are only two options to choose from. We cannot buy friendship from people that would take EVERYTHING away from us so joining is not an option. All of our rich heritage, bravery, courage and grit that allowed us to become the only true freedom loving people on earth means less than nothing to Muslims. They only see conquest in the name of a murderous god and prophet.

Imagine the lust for our rich lands a people who have been living in deserts since the beginning of time these people must have? One of the commandments says thou shal not covet... but covet they do. Thou shall not kill, but kiill they do and in god's name. so much for holy covenants.

Imagine not having anything that identifies oyur heritage as an American and you will see the future of your grandchildren if Islam comes to a town near you. If you want to see some Islamic culture, go to Pakistan or Egypt TV and news and see what passes for intertainment and fun. Look at the news services from around the world and see how Islam demands your acceptance and respect but gives none for the host country or its people. Even our own intertainers are affraid of the fanatical nutjobs. You will not see SNL do a skit on muhammad, not from respect, but from Fear. Americans are affraid of Islam? Kick them all out and tell them to take their traveling circus to another part of the world.

If the Islam community wants to pledge loyalty to America over Islam, then they would be welcome as far as I am concerned. But all other religions separate the government from Religion and they should be no different.

alsoprac -

I am perfectly aware that I am not one of you, in fact, my family and I escaped from likes of you killing us. As far as "informed Americans public" is concerned, it is sad to say that your dictatorial and theocratic muslim countries have a tight, and I mean very tight, grasp on news and public information. In the US, thank goodness, the public is well informed, and we can always research world news. Not the case with the terrorist muslim countries and their puppets on these blogs.

The aid to countries you like so much are wasted..... case in point Egypt, or Pakistan, or all the muslim countries you like so much. They still want to kill Americans. The aid to Israel does not end up in the pockets of terrorists shouting death to America.... and mean it.

All aid to Israel ends up in the pockets of Zionist terrorists who are willing to do whatever to whoever stands in their way of increasing the size of their apartheid state....period!!!

FARIDEH that is exactly my point, get rid of ALL aid and let the chips fall where they may. We need to get out of that region of the world where people don't use logic, but rather raw emotions boosted by religious extremism on all sides. That is not a good combination and has proven to be something we shouldn't even be in the middle of. The Europeans put the Jews there after WW2, not America (and they were not most of our citizens), so to me it's not our problem. Pull everybody out like Reagan did after the bombing of the base that killed 200 soldiers.

Angelo - Glad you remembered the Beirut bombing. It was 243 of our Marines that were killed by the terrorist muslims, not 200. That was the year we escaped the hands of theocratic murderers in Iran.

Who is us and "our", are you an American? Last time we had terrorist do something in this country it was September 11, 2001. Before that, and subsequently afterwards, it was home grown terrorist. Most terrorist attacks within the U.S. boarders has been perpetrated by Americans. Remember Timothy Mcveigh?

We are proud Americans since 1982. And for your muslim terrorists attacking the US, no sir, 9/11 was not the last. Remember Ft. Hood massacre of our soldiers by a muslim terrorist? No, No, not an isolated criminal act, that was terrorism, just like attacking our embassy 10 days ago - US embassy is the US soil.

You are not american but an iranian deserter turned zionist sympathizer.

Of course they are. Who do you wants us to back? Pakistan?

FYI I happen to be staunchly independent and could never align with the policies and ideologies of either the left or right. In my view they are all crooks, liars, thieves, and traitors. Where did you get anything out of my post that even hinted that I thought Israel didn't have the right to blow the Palestinians back into the stone age? However, I don't like Zionism either. I think it is the single largest reason the world is in the @!$%#ed up shape it is in today. The entire US gov. is nothing more than one big Zionist puppet, and if you and a lot of others could comprehend facts you would realize that yourselves.

If US government was Zionist puppet, Obama would not be standing up Netaniyahu like a girl on a first date.

It's all for show my friend, all for show. You must be able to follow the underlying facts.

"Personally, I hate Hate, and deplore ignorance..."

Wouldn't you say that blaming "the Hebrews" for the existance of dogma in the world; putting it nicely, to be sky-high hyperbole?

The Hebrews were and still are a pretty marginalized group. The Christians and Muslims hi-jacked the religion and bastardized it w/ dogma and all...The Jews are actors in a drama they didn't audition for.

Obviously you don't know much about history . Christians against Jews in Europe in middle ages or even in 19th century

Crusades of Christians in the holy land etc.

Every religion have done evil in name of GOD

DIDN'T CHRISTIANS DROP THE ATOMIC BOMB IN JAPAN?

How myopicly simplistic can one be?

THE ONLY BLASPHEMY on this planet is the Satanic verses of the Koran, written 600 years after the birth of Christianity by the insane madman Mohamed who was a murderous, lying, pedophile who taught Muslim men that sex in the anus of other men and camels was preferred to that of the God given orifice of women.

Islam is a plague of cockroaches on this planet and need to be exterminated NOW !!!

You forgot that oil control politics work on both sides.

Indeed, it's not evil Muslims, it's evil Muslim leaders using religion as an excuse to play their people like pawns in the game that helps them makes millions in oil, and yes, they go very nicely with similar player on the western side of the board. As they say in Russia: "when masters are fighting slaves get bit up."

However, the threat is still very real, and the fact that it's created for false reasons doesn't make it any less real.

Evil muslims is a myth created from west

as the transportation minister from pakistan offers a $100k bounty for the head of the racist idiot that made "innocence of muslims". yeah, the movie guy is a psychotic whackjob, but you can pretty much say anything you want here in the US. the pakistani government official putting a price on the clowns head needs to be shot himself.

Come to my house and kill my family and i will chase you to the and of the world to have my revenge

as long as your family wasn't responsible for killing anyone, I wouldn't really blame you for wanting revenge on their killers, but killing merely leads to more killing. if your family was in fact responsible for killing others, especially innocents, then they got what they deserved

a perfect example of a good muslim would be "Rais Bhuiyan", the victim of Mark Stroham, who was "looking for justice" after 9/11 and went on a spree shooting muslims, he killed two, and shot Rais in the face with a shotgun. Mark was sentenced to death for murder in Texas, and Rais tried desperately to save the life of Mark, saying that killing for vengeance was wrong according to his faith.

http://www.npr.org/2011/06/19/137283467/9-11-hate-crime-victim-seeks-to-save-his-attacker

it is not the faith that I can't stand, it's the extremists that use their faith to justify murder. (note the transportation minister in Pakistan that offered a $100K bounty for the jerk that made "innocence of muslims")

BTW, I'm an agnostic at best, probably closer to an atheist. but if I had real, verifiable evidence, I might believe in some kind of diety. but my belief is that if there is an actual diety, it is nothing like anything that humans have written to date.

Kid go to school and let this thinks to the adults , if you are not a kid, than you are a very sad person.

You talking about satan ? you are for sure a good Representative of his will . Killing billions of people .

arian, I agree with you there, anyone that advocates the extermination of over a billion people is nothing but a hitler wannabe

none, it is the same extremist disease

........at least they won't turn and fire on friendly forces.......

What about wanton attack of USS Liberty by idf flying thugs resulting int death of 34 American sailors.

Learn the history before you made those incorrect statement.

nope, the US has never fired on friendly or civilian forces either.. oh wait an iranian airliner comes to mind...
