This was a heart-warming story! No one got killed, nothing your friends did made the world a better place, the mental pulse of a captain for one of these op-ed seepings was in tune with his passengers, and free conspiracy theories too. Thanks for the comedy; in these harsh days of potentially being felt up at airports and North Korea being eager to start WWIII, it was nice to have a laugh. Between you and SNL, I'll take you; you guys aren't trying so damn hard. Happy Thanksgiving!

Editor: Glad you can get a 'kick' out of it, now go to Israel and take their nuke warheads down, will you?

One does not build settlements in their own country - it's called housing for those very same immigrants and their offspring, who were indeed, cast out of arab language cultures.

Editor: No, this is about religious fundamentalism; it is about religious extremism, like it or not. There is plenty of land in Israel; the 'settlements' are continually built to rob what is left of Palestine. Incidentally, you will never help peace until these are stopped.

@Outraged- I wish you'd find half as much outrage for the brutal way Israel treats its Palestinian captives as you find for a little bit of namecalling on the internet.

Amanda November 13, 2010 8:30 pm (Pacific time)

commenting on "Outraged" why are you blaming the media for reporting on the Zionist's atrocities against the Palestinian population? Israel seems to have lost the respect of the world (with a couple of exeptions) But then, when where they ever accepted???? It is a disgrace to bring up the new generation of jews, to continue the hate of their ancestors.

I am absolutely disgusted with you for publishing those quotes.

Just look at this: "even REUTERS took Shylock's gold"

What a disgrace that you publish such anti-semitic quotes.

Have you even bothered to follow what this woman has been saying? She says "there can only be peace when the Jews leave". On Ken's wall she said "it's Jew money" that pays the media.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Even the most basic journalist would've removed such comments.

Editor: So what should we do, are her statements not correct? I personally stick to the term 'Zionism' for the most part, but Israel is 'the Jewish state' in standard western media reference for as long as I can remember. I am disgusted and outraged at what Israel is increasingly doing as a world citizen. The people doing it by and large are not Holocaust survivors; they are facilitators of genocide against the people who historically owned the land that now comprises 'Israel'. 'Disgusting' describes 'Operation Cast Lead' because this is the here and now; not WWII history. By the way, it was Americans who joined in that war and helped seriously crush the Nazi's. We abhor Nazi's and racists and all are included, and that means anyone who supports, I hate to say it, but even the concept of Israel as it exists now. The land is stolen, it needs to be given back. Israeli officials by the hundred need to stand for war crimes, just as Justice Richard Goldstone inferred in the UN Goldstone Report, and please remember that he is Jewish. And so by the way, are a whole lot of my friends, only they aren't Zionist whacko religious zealots who believe that "God gave them" this place that is properly known as Palestine. Of course Israel has extraordinary military power, no denial there. But that is why the borders are where they are, from pure violence, and it is terrible. Why didn't the Jewish immigrants just build new cities? Why does Israel continually build new colonies ('settlements') on rhe tiny amount of remaining Palestinian land? All the Palestinians want is peace, and what is theirs. They will never stop and their supporters are growing, while Israel's are fleeting. I am sorry if those words offended you, we are all in an offensive period of time. Anti-Semitic by the way, means being against people who evolve from Arab language cultures. We ran a whole series on it. It does not define 'honest news reporters whose work criticizes Israeli politics'- that is what we are guilty of, not what you suggest.

  I sincerely appreciate the efforts of our writers in Arizona, London, Washington D.C. and Osaka, Japan in taking on this important subject for our readers.

You can't stop compassion forever... You will always lose the war. You can win a few battles but you can't win the war against the truth. Keep your faith in that fact, all my friends. Once again Salem-News.com reports some of the most interesting things in the world and other organizations don't even mention it. If I had a lot of money... I'd give it to you guys! (I'm supporting my mother and sister with bills, sleeping on their couch, though...)
