    I am glad to see that some Jews are honest and have to courage to say openly no to injustice.

    I know Zionists have tried to get us confused anti-Semitiism with anti-Zionists. There are many good Jews all over the world, but Zionists control the main streets of media, which is tragedy.

    Peace will come when people finally realize that there is no such thing as the
    Jewish people, it is a myth. There are people who are Jewish, just like there are people who are Christian. People change religions all the time. At best religion is a philosophy, at worst a political mechanism to enslave people. They are all the same. They were all created for the same purpose. People the world over are the same, they want the same things and can live in peace if we can keep the greed at bay. Religion is nothing more than a tool to disguise the greed at work.

    The other day I watched New night and a Muslim trying to have his say about terrorist and how Muslims are being blamed for it much of the laws are brought in on this back. and is not just for Muslim but for all of us. The man that was smirking and saying more or less that they brought it on them selves was a man called Mr Vaz one of the Blair boys this man is Indian and comes across as if it will not mean him or his friends and family we have a Ms Smith who fleeces the general public she is an MP but is rabid about us all being under threat I find that the only real threat is from our Government’s who are using Israel for an excuse of not dealing with its demands Israel now thinks it can demand the world to kow tow to it to me like my country it does not care its fellow jews no matter were they come from it is the abused turned abuser well Britian has become like that in order to be free we have to give up our freedom, I do not think so.

    Zionism is fascism.
    Fascism is racism.
    Racism is bigotry.
    Zionism is bigotry.
    Zionism is an embarrassment to all Judaism.

    Nope just sad. If I get mad about all the injustice I see daily I would die from a hart attack soon.

    Fight the power, the money, the radicalism, not the religion. Did you know that more Jews in the US were opposed to the Iraq war than were Christians in the US? Don’t blame Jews. Blame the right-wing cabal.

    I saw Kieth vaz on newsnight also and I was sickened by his sneery attitude.
    It is true that these laws are to be used against us all not just Muslims.

    Never let the Zionist fascists conflate Zionism with Judaism, as that is the only way they could ever give legitimacy to their nazi enterprise.

    Zionism is ‘Temple Zionism’ and not Judaism……

    It’s barely even Talmudism..

    Zionism is sick and sad because it wasn’t meant for the Jews or anyone to force themselves on that land and take it by military force, that is where it went wrong.

    It was always meant for them to overcome their differences, and join the land of Jerusalem with their fellow tribesmen the Palestinians and Phillistines that is an exclusively semitic state like it was before Zionist man came.

    Like it was in ancient times where people had respect for eachother’s personal property, possibly just like the good book said.

    Instead what we have is institutionalized racism, a state for ethnic Jews only and no one else allowed. The very opposite of what it should have been, it is now a theocracy instead of democracy.

    Woe unto those who call evil good, only the worst of the Europeans and Israelis that were truly brainwashed…..could defend fascist Zionism.

    Ahem, small quibble with the last line of that placard;`I am to blame, i shot a rocket back`, is untrue as Hamas don’t have rockets, Shin Bet sees to that, and IDF psyops cobbles together – for the evening news, bottle rocket equivalents which take off leaving behind a corkscrew vapour trail.

    I have become convinced that the Zionists have made an even greater effort to brainwash the Jews than the rest of us. They are constantly flooded with ziohate mail, constantly bombarded by ziohate news and have the lies of the holocaust (ie, the lies like human soap, human skin lampshades, gaschambers,. 6 million jews (rather than the true figure) killed etc that have all been proven false beyond any doubt).

    They are so brainwashed they think the truth are lies and lies are the truth.

    This is wonderful and I hope for the sake of all to see much much more of it.

    Unfortunately, the average American, misinformed overwhelmingly by the mainstream media, remains unaware that a large segment of Jews are not supporters of Israel or the Zionists.

    Also, the average American is not yet aware of the fact that nearly all the officials at Treasury and the Federal Reserve pushing the bailout rape of the American economy plus nearly all the big New York bankers sucking up what’s left of the nation’s wealth plus nearly all the propaganda apparatus otherwise known as the MEDIA , nearly all these people are ZIONIST JEWS.

    When this fact becomes common knowledge, and it will, and the American people realize they are being destroyed by JEWS they aren’t likely to make distinctions.

    Unless, that distinction has already been firmly set and planted in their minds. It seems to me that all non Zionist Jews had better think about loudly, publicly and with all possible vigor and force – DISTANCING and SEPARATING yourselves from the evil in your midst.

    Jewish solidarity and clannishness may be fatal if it means the good tie themselves to the evil. The american people aren’t going to be happy when they wake up.

    Personally, I hope the anger and the reaction will be directed at the MONEY CHANGERS who Jesus threw out of the Temple 2000 years ago for swindling the good and decent Jews, and at the PHARISEES who Jesus condemned as Sons of Satan for subverting the religion of the Jews.

    Jews have modern day Money Changers and Pharisees raping, pillaging, and subverting the nation and the world. Where are your loyalties, and when push comes to shove , on which side are you going to fight?

    JUdaism is a humanistic religion and Jews are, by a great majority, moral people. It does not surprise me to see them protesting. All Germans were not Nazis; all Jews are not Zionists; all Palestinians don’t launch rockets.

    […] Real Jews, who believe in the Torah and follow it’s commandments, know that the concept of linking Jewish people to the land of Palestine and seeking it’s return to Jews is nothing but a nationalistic campaign by secular elites – like AIPAC and ADL, who portray themselves as the representatives of jews. These folks could care less about the millions who suffered during the holocaust. In-fact, they use that event as an excuse to silence any criticism against israel, labeling it as anti-semitic. They also have their lackeys in the media who attack anyone and everyone who speaks of the crimes committed by the zionist state of israel. […]

    hello I am now I am a Muslim from France and I am happy to see Jews like you who we fight like this against the Zionists that causes a lot of trouble around the world and all for the Jews because they raised the hatred of Jewish in the heart of people like the devil incites to evil Muslims was well with the Jewish people and protect its land against the Christian persecution in Europe and especially in Spain where the high concentration of Moroccan Jews but Zionism produces the hatred and contempt of many Muslims no longer distinguishes the Jewish Zionism thank you for your site and good continuation
    may peace be upon you!

    When the world has had enough of Zionism and that day is coming, they will be getting a holocaust of world proportion. We need to safeguard decent people like these. They bubble with humanity.
