StandWithUs to place ads at BART stations saying ‘Stop Palestinian terrorism, teach peace’

Follow j. on   and 

The pro-Israel national organization StandWithUs announced Jan. 6 that it is launching a new ad campaign, placing posters in six BART stations.

The posters have received BART approval and will go up in the Berkeley, 12th Street/Oakland, MacArthur, Civic Center, Balboa Park and Embarcadero BART stations starting Jan. 17, a StandWitUs spokesperson said.

Dubbed "Say Yes to Peace," the campaign has been launched, organizers said, to counter a recent poster campaign co-sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace, a group often critical of the government and military of Israel. Those posters, still on display at three BART stations (according to the StandWithUs release), depicted Palestinian and Israel fathers with their young children, along with the headings "Be on our side: We are on the side of peace and justice" and "End U.S. military aid to Israel."

The StandWithUs posters feature the image of a masked terrorist with the heading "Stop Palestinian Terrorism." Below that, there is a photo of Palestinian and Israeli children at an annual Palestinian-Israeli children's soccer game, and the heading "Teach Peace" with the address for a new website.

"The anti-Israel ad confuses and deceives the public," Roz Rothstein, StandWithUs CEO, said in the press release. "It declares it represents the side of ‘peace and justice' and shows happy pictures of an Israeli father and a Palestinian father with their little sons. These images and words appeal to all people of good will. But the real message [of those ads] is that Israel is the obstacle to peace and that the U.S. should stop all financial assistance to Israel. The ad tries to hide the real obstacles-Hamas, Palestinian terrorism, and decades of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish hate education. We cannot let this message, with its deceptive, velvet-gloved rhetoric, influence unsuspecting commuters who may not know the facts. Our ads will provide the needed facts."

Last month, StandWithUs allied with other pro-Israel groups to persuade Seattle's Metro Transit to reject proposed bus ads that StandWithUs viewed as anti-Israel.

Why are there 'quotes' in the headline?

Quotes around words mean “so-called”, as in “not really”.  Apparently the editors of J, a Jewish “newspaper” think there really is no such thing as ‘Palestinian terrorism’.  There are just some a few right-wingers and hysterics who say there is ‘Palestinian terrorism’. 

Sarcasm aside, the words ‘Palestinian terrorism’ are politically incorrect in San Francisco so the editors of J just can’t bring themselves to say them out loud.  By putting quotes around them they are sort of whispering them.  It is like my Aunt Sadie who would always whisper the word “cancer”.

There used to be a tradition in journalism of telling the truth, of calling things what they are.  Maybe the J should work on that.

Critics? Or Enemies?

Similarly the editors of J tell us that Jewish Voice for Peace is a “group that is often critical of Israel”. 

Not just in the same article but in the same paragraph, the J reports that JVP is paying to put up posters in BART stations reading, “End US Aid to Israel”.

Pardon me for splitting hairs here, but “End US Aid to Israel” is not a criticism of Israel.  It is the statement of an enemy. 

JVP sides with Israel exactly never.  JVP supports Hamas and the PA uncritically.  Many JVP members are also members of ANSWER and ISM.  Others are Arab Israel haters.

Yet J continues its silly custom of calling JVP critics when their record loudly calls them enemies.  Why can’t the J sort that out?

More political correctness in San Francisco problems?

Until my grandson, who was just asked to be a Fellow in the Stand-with-us Fellowship group, told me about this org., I had no knowledge of it. I guess that’s because we live in Israel, so why would I know.  I’m already standing with Israel.  I am so delighted that there is such a group which is above all needed on the U.S. university & college campuses where Israel is totally misrepresented by the “Palestinians.” 

‘Yasher Koach’ to you all.

Thank you StandWithUs!

Thank you StandWithUs! For making it clear Israel, wish for true peace. But not without security! Israel wishes for peace! Like every country in the world Israel has the right to defend it self! 
Israel, the size of half of San Bernardino County, the only democracy in the Middle East, The only place in the Middle East where Arabs enjoy human rights, gay rights, women rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the rule of law. Yet, those add attack, the relentless and the continues attacks against this tiny democracy by the anti Israel, liberal left groups / organizations continue and the hypocrisy of the Left continue to celebrate!

No peace with occpation

What chutzpah!
Stand with Us needs to know more about the brutality Israel has meted out to the Palestinians living under occupation. They need to know that there were checkpoints long before the first suicide bombing. They need to know that terrorism has come far more from Israel as it seeks to take over most of the West Bank and make a Palestinian state impossible. They need to understand that given what Israel has done to the Palestinians over the years Israelis should count their lucky stars that there has been so few acts of terrorism. It is Israel that has long turned its back on any peace that would give justice to Palestinians.
Israel has shown as it grabs more and more land that it values pieces of land more than it values a true peace.

Dan Spitzer. Legitimate criticism of

Dan Spitzer. Legitimate criticism of Israel doesn’t equal anti-Semitism.  The proposed ads imply that it is Palestinians who have blocked peace, when evidence and facts clearly show that it is the aggressor-state, Israel that continually hinders peace.  Peace would mean declared borders, and an end to Israel’s expansion onto Palestinian lands.  For example of how the stalling tactics known as the “Peace Process” work in Israel’s favor, consider this article:

Are these good Rabbis also anti-Semites?

It's too bad the Israel

It’s too bad the Israel lobby groups, StandWithUs, Hillel, and J Street will not organize to advance Palestinian human rights and advocate freedom, justice, and equality for the indigenous people of the land.  The “chosen people” in Israel and their supporters here see equality as an existential threat and will never willingly give up their power.

As Orwell stated,
“... no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end.”

Who are the terrorists?

After imprisoning Gaza for two years in an illegal blockade compared by prominent international attorney Richard Falk with the Warsaw ghetto, Israel broke a cease-fire in November 2008 by killing six Palestinians, then in December killed two boys (blowing one to bits) and injured two others with a drone-fired missile. These evoked impotent retaliations used to justify Israel’s newest, massive war crimes in their 63-year “Nakba” - the unrelenting, brutal dispossession of Palestine’s indigenous population through terror, massacres and dispossession of four million UN-registered refugees with the legal but unfulfilled right to return.

The American people have been lied to about Israel from the beginning. Please learn the truth in Israeli historian Ilan Pappe’s “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Alan Hart’s “Zionism, the Real Enemy of the Jews,” and Ramzy Baroud’s “My Father Was a Freedom Fighter.”

Once informed, please support the growing international boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign (http://www.bdsmovement.net/ http://www.pacbi.org/).

IJAN

There are human rights-based Jewish organizations such as the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) who happen to be sponsoring a tour of Auschwitz survivor, Dr. Hajo Meyer, titled: Never Again - for Anyone. http://www.ijsn.net/C98/

Many Jews endorse BDS including Stephane Hessel, Holocaust survivor and co-author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, who believes that “...the BDS initiative is a moral strategy which has demonstrated its potential for success.” http://tinyurl.com/2c6qmtj

Check out the IJAN’s ponts of unity:

http://www.ijsn.net/

Points of Unity

While we all come from diverse organizing and activist experiences, and have diverse relationships to our Jewish histories and identities, we share the following points of unity:

* Solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian self-determination, including full political, economic, cultural, social and land rights for all those living in the historic Palestine, and the right of return for its refugees;

* Rejection of the Israeli apartheid state, premised on Jewish supremacy and Zionist ideology, and support for all struggles for legal and economic equality against it;

* Support for the building of just societies in historic Palestine, the larger region, and the other places in which we live;

* A commitment to the values of democratic self-determination, social justice and solidarity, gender equality and cultural rights, and to assert the same values in our own organizing and political practice;

* Commitment to the call from Palestine for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel;

* Challenging the current use of Islamophobia as a strategy for defending and justifying an imperialist US-European agenda;

* Challenging white racism, including its manifestations as Ashkenazi racism against Mizrahi Jews;

* Challenging the privileging of Jewish voices in conversations and negotiations about Palestine;

* Rejection of the ways in which the Zionist movement and Western governments exploit the Nazi holocaust to justify the historic and current actions of the State of Israel; and

* Rejection of alliances with anti-Jewish racists, white supremacist and Nazi holocaust deniers in our Palestinian solidarity work.

More Anti-Semitic Garbage, This Time By an IJAN Bigot

IJAN are another bunch of kapos and pro-Islamofascist sewage. This topic has seen enough rubbish from Bay Area Anti-Semites and posts such as the last three are best ignored.

Do bigots like Jan-Ass, dianearb, Blankfart and HHM believe ANYONE would reads their nonsense on J is going to take what they spew seriously? They will garner only the scorn they so richly deserve.

And BTW, they are too gutless to post their full names, with the exception of Blankfart, who is well known for devoting his life to anti-Semitism.They exhibit no courage, only bile…

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Pledge Herself to Judaism after Visiting Israel

Courageous Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, shot yesterday by a lunatic who admired Hitler, grew up with a mother who was a Christian Scientist and a Jewish father. She has often related that it was her wonderful experience in Israel as a young woman that led her to declare herself to be a full and dedicated Jew.

Democratic Israel tends to have that impact upon those who visit that wonderful country and culture. Only the haters such as those who have visited this topic would opine otherwise…

Why the Anti-Semites Post on J

Until Becky O’Malley had to fold her vomitously anti-Semitic Daily Planet, Jewish and non-Jewish anti-Semites found O’Malley would publish anything that smacked of hatred of Jews. When honorable advertisers ceased tendering ad revenues, O’Malley had to close up shop.

Now lacking that public forum, these rodents who used to spew their bigotry via the sympathetic Daily Planetr now post on J.

Why do they do it? Some enjoy what they believe is taunting the “evil Zionists.” Others think they will win over readers with their fictions about the poor Palestinians and their fine up-standing Foul-Asstinian leaders.

These lowlifes are so ignorant that they don’t seem to realize that they have as much chance of winning “converts” as do Jews for Jesus or the Hairy Krotchners…

Tragic shooting

The nation grieves over the tragic shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the others, but I do hope that as a congresswoman, she pledged allegiance to America - and not Israel.  We must work together to end Israeli occupation of Washington, D.C.

Last from Argentina

Mr. Spitter of lies and hate -
I know it really eats at you when someone other than a full fledged supporter of whatever Israel does posts on this site. Well, buddy, this site is not, thankfully, controlled by the likes of you. Thank goodness you in no way represent all the Jews in the world.  I suspect your vile and pornographic attitude is not shared by many other than the most right wing and morbidly avid Zionists such as those in Israel who call for death to the Arabs and who are now seeking, just as in the McCarthy days here, to investigate Israeli groups working for peace and justice..

That said, El Stupido, I want to challenge your vile lies about me, lies based on your own massive prejudices and hatred.

First of all this is not my first trip to Argentina as I spent several weeks here a few years ago. This trip will find my husband and me here for several more weeks. In all my time here I have not met anyone with a Nazi mentality. The closest I have come to someone with a Nazi mentality is via the internet. The Nazi mentality belongs to you Mr. Spitter. Your kind of person is not hard to identify. Had you been a non-Jew in Hitler’s Germany you would have been the first to throw rocks at Jewish stores on Kristalnacht and would have condemned anyone who dared to say a word against the Nazi regime. You would have made a brutal guard at Auschwitz. That is exactly who you are. You are a really sick sucker.

I have spent time here with a woman who at the age of 16 was a victim of torture by the Argentine fascist junta, a junta that was supplied with weapons by Israel even as they were killing Jews with those weapons.
While my friend is not Jewish, all of her girlfriends were. They were arrested together and, each girl was asked if she was Jewish. Because she did not want to be separated from her friends she said that she was Jewish while knowing that the brutal guards were much harder on Jews than non-Jews. Of the 7
girls who were dragged from their homes that night only my friend and one of her Jewish friends remain alive today. But did Israel care? Not on your life. There was money to be made and if Jewish blood was to be shed so be it.

I have also met the Madres of the Plaza de Mayo, several of them Jewish. Their children were disappeared (that, dumb ass, means murdered) by the same junta that was supported by Israel.

You speak of the terrible bombing of the Jewish center in which 70 people died but you conveniently overlook the fact that many hundreds of Jews were killed by the Argentine junta, a junta whose weapons were primarily supplied by your most favorite country, Israel.

I guess you have no problem when Israeli weapons kill Jews. If this bothers you, you said nothing because I know it would kill you to believe that your favorite county could ever do anything that might harm a Jew.

I’m sure it never bothered you when Israel was the primary supplier of weapons to apartheid South Africa or to the right wing government of Guatemala that used those weapons to kill at least 200,000 Guatemalans. During the years of the right wing dictatorships in Latin America, Israel was one of the primary suppliers of the weapons of death and repression.

Finally, as to my appearance, you are so far off base that you have fallen off the cliff. You like to believe that I am, what you called a “sow.” Sorry to disappoint you but I am 5’2” and before leaving on the cruise that brought us to Buenos Aires, I weighed 109. Maybe I weigh one or two pounds more given the good food I have been eating. And, believe me, in no way do I look anything like one of your heros, Golda Meir.

As I said in an earlier posting, one day in the future you may well see me in a demonstration against Israeli apartheid holding a sign that reads IT IS THE OCCUPATION STUPID!!

BTW the killer who shot Giffords is a lunatic but nowhere is there anything to say he was an admirer of Hitler. He did read Mein Kampf but so have others who are not admirers of Hitler. That was only one of many books this killer read. Hey, he would have been a great marksman in the IDF shooting at Palestinians. He missed his calling.

Janice & HHM - The Gruesome Twosome

How come you people can’t just come out and say it? you want Israel to exist no longer. That’s the truth. You realize all this fencing with Dan Spitzer is just about you guys finding every back door argument to delegitimize Israel’s existence with out just saying it out right? But I’m happy to say the reality is that Israel will still very much exist despite all your efforts long after you bones are just dust in the wind. And I for one couldn’t be more delighted to know that. And by the way Janice that fairy tale about Argentina was absolutely lovely I had no idea you had such a vivid imagination. Interesting you should bring up Argentina and Hitler by the way. If i recall Eichman was caught there by Mossad and in general Argentina was a favorite post WWII “vacation spot” for escaped nazis. Yes I’m sure your quite fond of Argentina you should take a vacation there with a one way ticket.

It’s no wonder why all the communists and anarchist groups love you guys so much. Oh wait, that’s not what it’s all about. Your all just humanitarians and peace activists who just simply care so much for the suffering of the poor palestinians right?

Sol and Spitter - a very Gruesome Twosome

I have never said that I don’t want Israel to exist. Israel exists whether or not I want her to. But I do want an end to the brutal occupation, an end to the building of settlements, each and every one illegal under international law.

As for Argentina, read some history. This is no fairy tale although I wish that it were. I guess you don’t believe that the Argentine junta killed 30,000 people, a good number of them Jews. Sorry you can’t accept the truth.
Why don’t you read this if you have the courage.

http://www.jcpa.org/jpsr/jpsr-mualem-s04.htm

If I could post a photo here I would show you a giant menorah that was placed in the Argentine city of Mendoza by the Jewish community and the honorary Israeli consul in Mendoza. The menorah was placed in honor of Israel’s 50th anniversary and the street on which it is located, across from the major Plaza de Independencia, is now named Calle de Estado de Israel.
The menorah was the only religious symbol we saw in Mendoza.  Maybe you want it torn down since you so hate Argentina. The Nazis in Argentina are long gone. They live only in your memory.

Why don’t you and Spitter grow up and accept some bitter truths about Israel.  Israel is no better and sometimes worse than other countries and if I can criticize America, the land of my birth, I can damn well criticize Israel, the land to which I owe absolutely nothing since as far as I know not one of my relatives, other than by marriage, ever lived there. And those who were there have left and are far happier in the US than they were in Israel.

Israel doesn't seek peace

Israel invaded Palestine.  800,000 Palestinians who were driven from their homes and ancestral lands in 1948 now have families numbering in the millions.  These innocent people who are guaranteed the right to return to their homes under international law are being denied that right.  Instead, they are still being driven away and imprisoned in concentration camps by an American-supported military state, Israel.  Palestinians have gone for long periods without violenc, in hopes of negotiating peace with their oppressors, but Israel accellerates ethnic cleansing while stalling for time during intermittant so-called ‘Peace Talks’.

http://www.ccmep.org/delegations/maps/palestine.html

The last attempt by Hamas to seek peace was met with a 22 day unwarranted bombardment of Gaza which killed 1400 innocent people and wounded 5 times that number, many of them were children burned with white phosphorous.  This and other war crimes by Israel is well documented.

Israel is the aggressor state.  Palestinians, some of whom are legitimately resisting the ongoing murderous acts of their oppressors, are the victims of 63 years of this aggression and oppression.  Anyone who sees this conflict in another way is ignorant of the facts.

Example of Israel’s deceptive propaganda.  Even today, 2 years after Israel’s Operation Cast Lead attack on Gaza, we are being told that Israel was receiving hundreds of rockets, and that Israel reluctantly attacked. as Israel has a right to defend itself, blah blah blah”

This is what happened regarding rockets:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfFMZ7Y-s_c

The war on Gaza had more to do with elections in Israel and the US, Israel’s desire to further punish Palestinians for electing Hamas, (collective punishment of civilian populations is a war crime).  The attack also had something to do with this:

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=11680

As long as Israel can forstall peace, it can continue building settlements, expanding its undeclared borders and steal Palestinian offshore gas. A few ineffective rockets launched from gaza (which have killed on average, 3 Israelis per year since 2000) are a small price to pay for Eretz Israel and Zionist’s ultimate goals of taking it ALL.

David you are absolutely correct

Too bad there are certain people who refuse to believe the truth.

There are accusations of trying to “delegitimize” Israel but in truth it is Israel that is delegitimizing itself.

I have long wondered how a people that ethnically cleansed the land of another people and refused to allow the return of those people could expect to live happily ever after in peace.

I hope no one comes up with the discredited crap that the Arab leaders forced the people to flee. As a relative of an American born Jew who went to then Palestine in order to fight the British and take over Palestinian land I know full well about the ethnic cleansing. When I asked him why, as a member of the Palmach, he helped to drive the Arabs out he responded “we wanted the land and we didn’t want them on it.”

The full extent of the ethnic cleansing has been revealed by Israeli historians Benny Morris and Ilan Pappe. Morris now regrets that every Palestinian was not driven out. I would not at all be surprised if Sol and Spitter don’t share that view.

Jan-Ass Sacrifices Her Trip to Foul-Asstinian Apartheid

First of all Jan-Ass, I suggest you do what I advocated for Blankfart: go to Gaza City and announce that you are Jewish.

What will happen in response to you will be, for the civilized world, addition by subtraction.

Now Jan-Ass, skinny like Barbara Cain’t Lubincate or obese like Becky O’Malley, you like your Jew Hating comrades- are still a sow. And thanks for letting us know which sign you will be holding. You will be treated accordingly.

Clearly, you, dianeab, Blankfart and David Evans are scumsucking pigs and it is evident that you don’t give a damn about the horrific oppression of Palestinian women by Foul-Asstinian men, the brutalization of homosexuals by Arabs in general and Foul-Asstinians in particular, or the torture and murder of dissidents in the Palestinian Territories. Until you address these truths, you will have not an iota of credibility.

From my part, I’m happy to see you continue to waste your vacation by showing us again and again your manifest anti-Semitism. And, as I said, bigots like you will surely receive that which they have coming to them… wink>

Spitzer, in addition to you

Spitzer, in addition to you being an ignoramus, you also aren’t winning any converts to your ill-conceived cause with your childish insults.  This comment, and those followin it by you are just plain wrong: “First of all Jan-Ass, I suggest you do what I advocated for Blankfart: go to Gaza City and announce that you are Jewish.

What will happen in response to you will be, for the civilized world, addition by subtraction.”

Jews visit Palestine often, and are warmly welcomed there.  Palestinians are the most gracious hospitable people I have ever met.  Jews and other Palestinians lived together in harmony until Zionist hordes began overrunning the land and stealing it all, raping, pillaging and murdering along the way.  Palestinians I have met only have animosity against Zionist squatters and the Ashkenazi leaders in Jerusalem, those who are oppressing all Palestinians and continuing to encroach onto what little is left of Palestine.  You attempt to direct conversation away from the central issue by sidetracking into a nonsensical diatribe about alleged human rights violations among Palestinians.  Even if true (I encourage anyone here to google Astinians - WTF?) this has nothing to do with Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians and the BART ads that these comments are about.  You make no sense, Spitzer.  Go take your meds.

Spitter you show the world what a fool you really are

Plenty of Jews have gone to Gaza. Amira Hass, one of the Haaretz journalists has lived in Gaza as a known Jew. Barbara Lubin is well known as a Jew who goes to Gaza to build schools and water projects. I know other Jews who have come to Gaza as friends and not as enemies. They had more to fear from an IDF bullet or bomb than they did from the people of Gaza.

If a Jew comes into Gaza as a friend they are welcomed. But if they come to steal the land or in an IDF uniform they will be treated accordingly as they should be.

If you don’t like Hamas, and I don’t, remember that were it not for the occupation there would be no Hamas just as had the British not occupied Palestine there would not have been the terrorist groups, Irgun and Stern Gang.

Any occupation, especially one that saw ongoing land and water theft, checkpoints, arrests, deportations, torture and more would give rise to a resistance movement. I put the blame for Hamas squarely on Israel. No occupation, no reason for Hamas.

As for the way women are treated I don’t like that but this is not a website that deals with issues in the Arab world. J is primarily concerned with what goes on in the Jewish world.

I don’t like any religion that requires its adherents to dress in a certain way whether that be religious Muslims or religious Jews. Frankly I think that religion has been one of the most divisive inventions of man.

You Mr. Spitter are really a foul mouthed disgusting excuse for a human being and I would suggest that you keep your fat ass out of Gaza. You especially would not be welcome just as you would not be welcome in my home or even on my street. We’d have to disinfect the place to get rid of you offensive odor.

Adios, sad sack.

The heart of the matter:

“We must expel Arabs and take their places.”
—David Ben Gurion, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985.


“There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”
—Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp. 121-122.

“Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.”

—David Ben Gurion, quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p. 99.

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.”
—David Ben Gurion, quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

Evans, Do You Think Anyone Is Reading Your Dreck?

Since no one is, one must conclude that you enjoy pissing into the wind with your mouth agape, waiting for your self-generated reward.

You are reminiscent of the pathetic denizens of Peoples Park walking around Berkeley talking to themselves about the cartoonesque delusions in their lamebrains…

Spitter my husband is right next to me

Since we are in a lovely apartment and since my husband has injured his ankle we aren’t doing much walking. But really, you sorry excuse for a human being, that is none of your damned business. My husband, one of the most decent and loving men in the world, totally agrees with me.

Actually, since you have been so busy with postings perhaps your girl friend might just go looking for greener pastures. I don’t know how she could stand being with someone like you unless she shares your disgusting tastes. Maybe she does.

You decry anti-Semitism and anti-Semitism is wrong but if you present yourself as a prime example of what it means to be a Jew you would cause more anti-Semitism than anything else. If every Jew was like you, and thankfully most are not, decent people might think it was OK to be anti-Semitic. You give a bad name to Judaism.

I remember growing up hearing the words “dirty Jew.”  If you had been around in those days that would have been the right thing to call you. Your words show just how dirty you are.  You are a filthy minded, disgusting piece of trash and you demean Jews everywhere. Almost all my friends are Jewish and there are none that would put up with the likes of you.  I will be sending some of them the link to this and let them see for themselves the real Dan Soitter.
They may vomit.

Your brain is in the toilet. Why don’t you just flush it down.

BTW, I notice that you are only good with the insults and invective. That is because you have absolutely nothing of value to add here because you are so afraid to face the truth. You are the kind of person who does not want to hear the message but wants to shoot the messenger.

I’ll bet than when thousands were marching against the Vietnam War, a war in which the US was responsible for millions of deaths, you were out there shouting that we who were marching were “anti-American.”

I’ll bet that you supported apartheid in South Africa calling those who called for an end to white rule “anti=white.”

You undoubtedly supported the white racists in the South who called whites who helped the blacks “communists” and “traitors to their race.”

Your slinging of the old canard of “anti-Semitism is the act of a scoundrel, the act of someone who wants to deflect all criticism of Israel by saying that the critic is “anti-Semitic.” Well, buddy boy, that lying, vile epithet just doesn’t wash.

There are far too many Jews, both in Israel and around the world, who are fed up with the occupation, fed up with the growing fascism in Israel and fed up with the settlers for you to use the lying words “anti-Semite.

I know that won’t stop you because that is your stock in trade.

Now, El Stupido, try and think of some new stupid and trash ridden things you can say. I want to test the depths of your vileness - and I am certain it is pretty deep.

Now I am off to make breakfast on this warm (jealous?) and beautiful morning.  Think we’ll dine on the balcony overlooking the park. You are definitely NOT invited.

When on that Balcony--Be Sure to...

JUMP!

I suspect your husband hurt his ankle running away from your rancid advances. Why don’t you try to cleanse with vinegar?

Heh, Heh, I’ve really gotten to you, you ridiculous sow. I aim to make life as miserable as possible for you strident anti-Semites—especially “Jews” such as Jan-Ass.

As noted, Ms. Stomach Pump of 1967,  you are indeed an inveterate anti-Semite. And your posts provide proof positive.

Now, having bothered you to a frazzle, sent you into a hysterical tizzy, and happily disrupted your vacation, I rest my case…

I laugh at your idiocy

You stupid idiot, don’t you know that this is fun. I imagine you pulling at your stringy graying beard in agony as you read postings telling the truth about Israel. You can’t bear it and I know that because of the way you respond. Not once have you denied anything that either I or others have posted about Israel. All you can do is sling S—T. In fact, the second letter of your name should be an “h” instead of a “p” because you sure know how to sling it around.  You are a master of slinging the S—t.

I laugh at your ignorance, racism and stupidity. I laugh at the thought that you probably think that you are a good person. I laugh at the fact that all the thinking of which you seem capable is to use insults and hurl the epithet of anti-semitism. You are a damned fool.


I can understand why you have a “partner” and not a wife, if you indeed have a partner. Undoubtedly she does not want to spend the rest of her life with a lowlife like you. I suspect she just needs a roof over her head and is putting up with you for the time being. She probably fantasizes about Menachem Begin since his looks and body (even in his current dead state) have got to be far better than yours and he must have been far better in the sack than you are. And even today he would probably be better in the sack than you.

You see, Mr. Shitzer, I can sling the insults as well as you can. Remember, buster, that you began the insults as is your stock in trade. I’m sure you’ll come back with more as befits your low and slimy character.

I note that you were supposedly a professor of journalism. Where did you teach, if indeed you did?  Porno U?

I studied journalism at the University of California and, believe me, my professor would have given you a failing grade and kicked you out of class.

You and your partner in crime, Sol, have also made comments about Argentina and Nazis. Your dim minds seem to have forgotten (if you ever knew)  that things have changed and If life is so bad here why have not the 250,000 Jews of Buenos Aires left for the racist state of Israel? Maybe you think that they are all anti-Semites because they choose to live here. Why is there a most beautiful synagogue in Buenos Aires?
You’d better revise your bigoted and uninformed thinking if that is at all possible. Argentina today is not the Argentina of a few decades ago.

Finally, Mr. Shitzer, I notice that you have plenty of time to post your pornography. Don’t you have a day job like my husband and I had before we retired? I suspect, given your dim mentality, that you live from hand to mouth in not very nice surroundings.

Fortunately we earned enough money (without exploiting anyone else) to afford these nice trips. Will you be able to do the same when you reach retirement age, unless, of course you are now stuck in your miserable life of having to attack anyone, who dares to criticize the Jewish state.

You, dumb ass, have not interrupted my trip at all. I hope that I and other truth tellers, whose truths you refuse to face, will make you so upset that you will be driven into a mental institution from which you will never emerge. Maybe Napa State? I have heard that they have comfy strait jackets there for the likes of you.

Can a Thousand Flies be Wrong?

I recommended the vinegar because your both your JVP comrades and your husband are disgusted by that constant halo of flies that consistently circle your groin, buzzing happily in a black cloud. I’m surprised that seeing/smelling this, Argentinian officials even let you out of the plane.

Now you would feel right at home in Gaza and the West Bank, where flies from the open drains would be drawn to you. After all, the Palestinians have long accommodated living life with excreta.

But even the Foul-Asstinians would be put-off by your appalling habit of wiping your left hand across your ludicrous lips. Well, come to think of it, you may well be blamed for spreading this habit to fellow JVP’ers and ISM’ers like Paul Larudee. Is this what engenders their toxic thoughts?

‘Course, that’s why you folks say they represent the “Left.”...

You take the cake

I’ve known a few vile and disgusting people in my life but you take the cake.

You must have a real disease of the brain - and maybe other diseases as well that have helped to rot your brain..

One disease I know you have that has made you a disgusting as the sewage that the West Bank settlers pour onto Palestinian villages is a rabid Zionist bent that has turned you into a disgusting piece of trash.

By the way, El Stupidio, I notice once again that you cannot respond to anything but just gush more stinking vitriol from every orifice of your putrid, reeking body, You must bathe in sewage to be so disgusting.

As for flies in Gaza, don’t forget that the “most moral army in the world.” destroyed most of Gaza’s sewage system and has refused to allow in any means of repair. But I’m sure that doesn’t bother you unless of course the sewage finds its way to Israeli beaches. Then you might be upset.

Frankly, Mr. Shitzer, in all my long life I have never encountered anyone like you. My dear mother often told me that there was good and bad in every people. Well, you racist pig, you are the bad about whom she spoke. My mother never spoke a bad word about anyone. She was proud of being Jewish. But she sure as hell would have had a lot of bad things to say about you and would have been deeply ashamed to know that you were Jewish. 


Through my life I never knew that any Jew or any human being for that matter could be as horrible and disgusting as you but maybe I was wrong. Maybe there are more. You earn the #1 prize. Hooray for you.

The prize is a big garbage can not cleansed of its previous content. You can climb into it and call it home.

i'm Ecstatic

Every minute I subtract from your vacation leading an anti-Semitic sow like Ms. Jan-Ass to waste her time responding to my accurate description of her repulsive nature fills me with joy.

How about another rejoinder, Ms. Stomach Pump? I’m certain both the Argentinians and Mr. Jan-Ass will be happy to have less time with you. Indeed, Mr. Jan-Ass is probably delighted to be free of you and makes merry at my commentary.

Now Jan-Ass, I know you would have no trouble in Gaza, going there and saying you were a Jew. Yes, you and the hideous Barbara Cain’t Lubincate are the exceptions who would not be assaulted and murdered on the spot.

But what female oppressing Foul-Asstinian male would want to so much as grope such an uncomely excuse for woman-kind. Hell, for those apartheid-loving barbarians who hate women, gays and dissenters, even a camel would take precedence for them, no matter how horny they might be.

To be sure, even the lame brained Palis you champion would be appalled at your credo, “Always rub lips with your left after wiping.”...

What my husband thinks

My husband thinks that you are a stupid ass and that I should have nothing to do with a slimy creep like you.

I have read a few of your postings to him. He was bored with your juvenile ramblings and wanted to hear no more from your underdeveloped and twisted brain.

He is undoubtedly correct but I just love to see if you have the guts to reply concerning Israeli actions without slinging garbage.

I guess you don’t. You are truly a coward and one who is severely delusional.

The anti-Semitic scum that post

The anti-Semitic scum that post here, and in particular the self-hating Jews, are losers on the way to the dustbin of history. They want to engage us in “dialogue” in order to keep us from the important business at hand, which is to support and educate our children as Jews and Zionists. Lets just ignore them, seriously, they will simply disappear soon enough.

The more important issue is that the entire Jewish community must rethink it’s response to the lies of the de-legitimization campaign, start by reading this from Melanie Phillips and pass around the link:
http://www.melaniephillips.com/articles-new/?p=789

The JWeekly can do it’s part by shutting off the anti-Jewish voices - not just the vile commenter but the anti-Israel editorial drivel that touts films like “Budrus”. It’s time that the Jewish Community re-evaluate it’s priorities and make a meaningful response to the de-legitimization campaign.

Poor scared little Danny & califleftt

Danny boy, I wondered how long it would take you to come back with more of your vile rantings. Not long.

The I realized what is behind your disgusting and puerile rantings.

You are afraid. You are deeply afraid that the world is on to what Israel is doing and in due time will no longer let them get away with it.

You are afraid that BDS will spread around the world until Israeli occupation will meet the same fate as apartheid South Africa. 

You are nothing more than a scared little boy whose bad deeds have been discovered and you are afraid you will be punished.

You know that Israel’s crimes against humanity are becoming more and more well known in the world and in the Jewish community. That is why you must resort to hame calling and pornographic writing..

Please, for your sake and for the sake of the Jewish community who read your disgusting postings, please get yourself good and competent psychiatric care so that you can, if possible, join the human race.

As for you califlefty you too are on the losing end. You can try to censor voices in the Jewish community who no longer want Israel to be an oppressor and an occupying state but you will not succeed. More and more Jews and others have had their eyes opened to what Israel has been doing and they don’t like what they see.

I am one of those who for years supported Israel. My doubts began in 1982 following the brutal attack on Lebanon. When my Israeli relative living on a kibbutz near the Lebanon border told me that Sharon had long planned this attack even while the truce with the PLO was holding, I was upset. When she told me that the Israeli military had moved to the border weeks before the deadly murderous assault on Lebanon, a assault that left some 20,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinians. Surely a massacre of great proportions. Later when I found out that in spite of buildings being marked, Israel indiscriminately bombed hospitals and orphanages i was disgusted. The turning point was the massacre at Sabra and Shatilla camps where the arch war criminal Ariel Sharon sent the fascist Lebanese Falange in to rape and slaughter well over 800 unprotected Palestinian civilians The bellies of pregnant women were ripped open by Israel’s allies, their babies were stabbed to death, old men and women were shot or stabbed. While all this was going on the “most moral army in the world” that surrounded the camp used their flood lights so that the killers would be able to find more people to murder. After the massacre ended reporters entering the camps found boxes of Israeli military rations that had been handed out to the fascists of Lebanon.

That was pretty much it for me and I began to read the history of Israel. I knew that my relative had been an ethnic cleanser in 1948 but I had tried to put that from my mind. But when the new historians wrote books based on the opening of the archives in the early 1980s I became even more disgusted.

Recently more archives relating to 1948 were supposed to be released but Netanyahu, obviously knowing that the archives would reveal more horrible truths, has had them sealed for years more.

No matter how much you might want to deny this history, no matter how often you sling the epithet of “anti-Semitism,” these things happened and they are a deep stain on Israel.

Of course, neither of you might think that these are bad things. After all we Jews have a right to the land no matter who we have to hurt.

Saying all this does not make me an anti-Semite. I do not believe that Jews have any more rights to indulge in criminal behavior than any other people. From childhood I was= always been proud of being Jewish, proud of what individual Jews have accomplished. But am I proud of Israel? Not on your life! If you think this makes me an anti-Semite go ahead and think it but, it just ain’t true.

Finally, if there is growing anti-Semitism in the world, and there is, this scourge can be laid right at the feet of Israel.

If you two birds really cared about Jews and Israel you would do something about helping to end the occupation rather than continue supporting the oppression of the Palestinians and the theft of their land. But I guess you really don’t care to do anything other than sling hate at those who have been distressed by the state that says it represents all Jews in the world.

Truth in advertising

The ad would have been more visually truthful and balanced had it juxtaposed a collage of an F-16, an Apache or Cobra attack helicopter, a Mekarva tank, a missile-armed drone, an armored bulldozer, and a sniper in a tower - rather than children playing - beneath the lone, keffiyeh-adorned terrorist with little but his own body as a weapons delivery system.  And the heading above the collage, also in the interest of balance, rather than “Teach Peace” should read, “Stop Israeli state terrorism.”

Israeli state terrorism, BTW, has killed 1,446 Palestinian children in the last decade compared with 124 Israeli children killed according to the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem.

Also BTW, Hamas suicide bombers (discontinued after 2005) obviously did not wear keffiyehs on their missions, and the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh is black-and-white (which would make a less ominous propaganda visual than the blood-red choice).

This is Great!

Yet more time spent wasting a vacation by Jan-Ass. I hope she listens on her headphone to that classic “Ahab The A-Rab” while she dools her anti-Semitic bile on her keyboard.

OK, I aim to please, Jan-Ass, just so you can fill up your holiday with yet more anti-Semitic excreta. Poor girl—she clearly suffers from verbal amoeba.

And now, we have a visit from an anti-Semitic brother of hers who, like all the others except Blankfart, are too gutless to sign their own names to their posts. But I know who orjack is. Recently he and Jan-Ass were visiting their Foul-Asstinian pals and had congress with some tragically abused camels. The fire brigade had to be called to turn on the hoses to free them from these poor ships of the desert who were the objects of their lust. Jan-Ass camel was an unwilling victim—too many flies emanating from her crotch.

It appears that Jan-Ass and orjack just couldn’t help themselves. They correctly answered the question, “What do Palestinian sailors and camels have in common?”
“They are both filled with Arab semin.”

Now when Jan-Ass and orjack heard that, they hied it to the Middle East and, well, we know that they had to be extricated from those poor critters with a firehouse…

Why Jan-Ass, Becky O'Malley and Barbara Cain't Lubincate are Addicted to Anti-Semitism...

Because as noted, they are addicted in that they have so little else in their lives that they live to hate. Hell, Becky was willing to flush her disgusting rag of a newspaper down the toilet because she is so obsessed with Jew hatred that she couldn’t stop publishing this garbage in her anti-Semitic rag.

And Jan-Ass, as noted, is currently spenting hours of her vacation in Argentina posting her contempt on this site for half the world’s Jews. Why? Because she, too, is addicted to hate.

And Barbara Cain’t Lubincate, once married to a nice Jewish doctor who she jettisoned because she fell in lust with Gus Newport (who dumped her for a younger, blonder dunderhead), became so enmeshed first with CPUSA politics and then, to prove how “ethical she was,” Jew hatred, that it has consumed the rest of her pathetic existence.

So the answer to my question, these lowlifes exhibit contempt for Jews because they are absolutely obsessed and addicted: they live to hate…

Spitter it is you who show the true marks of a hater and a dumbass

You still can’t give up the vile commentary can you?

You are a waste of human DNA.

Why can’t you respond to any of the charges against Israel made by posters?

It must be because you have no excuses for Israeli terrorism.

It is you who obviously hate Jews since you give anti-Semites ammunition to people who might want to say that Jews are a vile and disgusting people. If you are an example of Jewish thought then you are #1 in bringing on anti-Semitic views.

Certainly if a Catholic or Muslim was posting in the same filthy manner as you have chosen to do you would have some choice words for them. I guess in your stunted and narrow world only people like you can be disgusting.

What I do on my vacation is none of your damned business. I am here for over a month and do not have to run out sight seeing 24/7.

Hey, you jerk, I think you are jealous that you are stuck back in cold and rainy Berkeley while I am here in warm and sunny Buenos Aires, the capital of the country that has a menorah in Mendoza and recognized Palestine. Do you think they should dump the menorah? Of course you won’t answer this question just as you have refused to answer any others.

Maybe you can’t read? Maybe you can’t understand? I guess that is it.

Adios, We are going out now for a late dinner and tango show. I may think of you - but certainly not fondly.

In fact if you disappeared from this world I might send up fireworks in celebration.

Nobody Who Respects Jews on J...

responds to the anti-Semitic excreta you and your fellow Jew haters post on this site. That’s why it is so hilarious—you are utterly wasting your time, yet are oblivious to your impotence.

As I said, you folks just piss into the wind (I believe you have a penis) and then just open your mouths to receive your most welcomed Golden Shower. That’s how you bigoted loonies like it.

But nobody reads those posts because we all already know that you are incapable of transcending your bigotry and having a legitimate and honest dialogue.

While what you do isn’t anyone’s business but yours, you have made it every honorable Jews’ business as it reminds us how addicted you are to spewing your toxic wastes of anti-Semitism, even though it wastes your time nearly half a world a way in sunny Argentina.

Well, I’m not exactly lacking for sun having been in Havana for two weeks in December. And yes, I will offer a full reportage critical of the Castrista thugocracy.  I will convey just how much Cubans chafe at the dictatorship you and your fellow lefties at KPFA, the Disinformation Station, love thereby somehow justifying 52 years of essentially one man tyranny.

Of course, this sort of corrupt and inept rule is not so far removed from that practiced throughout the Arab world, including that of the Foul-Asstinian leadership whose virtues and thoughts about women you no doubt appreciate.

Now Israel practices real democracy where woman are treated as equals (we know you don’t give a flying F about women’s rights), gays are empowered and dissidents are free to say what they wish. Quite the contrary is true in the barbarism of Foul-Asstinian society. But you are clearly too blind to acknowledge this, aren’t you Ms. Stomach Pump?

actually, on the issues....

Quite honestly, there’s more than enough facts with which to criticize the anti-Israel haters without getting down to their level of hatred.
Let’s just start with the supporters of (or apologists for) BDS. Anyone who claims to support or be sympathetic to the BDS movement and yet claim not to oppose the existence of a Jewish state is either deliberately lying or has not read the BDS movement’s own websites, which continue to insist upon the fictional “right” of return.  This, of course, would mean the end of Jewish statehood. So let’s please drop the fiction that BDS is about ending the “occupation”—unless you join with Hamas in defining Tel Aviv as “occupied territory”.

Secondly, regarding the post above referencing the parading around of a misguided Holocaust survivor in the service of an anti-Semitic agenda—the website for this effort has the stomach-churning lack of morality (and common decency) to place a picture of Jews being led from the ghetto to an extermination camp, next to a picture of Arab refugees fleeing from a war started by the Arabs against the Jews, as if to declare some type of moral or historical equivalance.  I think the Jews who were starved, beaten and gassed in Auschwitz would have welcomed the opportunity to have been able to move 10 miles from their previous homes, live among other Jews, and be financially supported by the rest of the world forever. And of course the Jews of Europe never launched a war of extermination against Germany.

Those who stoop to that level are just about in the company of David Duke and David Irving. 

There’s a simple question:  do you support peace between a Jewish state of Israel and its Arab neighbors?  Sadly, too many of those who claim just to oppose Israel’s “policies” also oppose Israel’s policy of existing…..
