Jesus Christ! I'm shocked, he says that Palestinians should be removed to other Arab countries? Unlike Jews, not all Arab speaking people are alike. In fact these "Palestinians" are the "Jews of old" and they simply converted to Christianity or Islam, real history sucks doesn't it?
I suppose Palestinians wouldn't fight Jews if they weren't colonists from Poland!

What saddens me most is HATE in general in any form. I can see both sides but I don't see any cause that would make you HATE another human being. In my world there are no guns and murder.There's Love Peace and Joy. Maybe next time..because that is the world I wanted to come into. As a blogger I only wish I could write on this level. Something to strive for.This is excellent work Thanks John Sullivans last blog post..I like Obama but he’s an idiot on this one

Both sides are not as bad as each other, as one writer here claims. The JIDF is simply a grass routes organization trying to protect and defend Jewish people from slander, threats and attacks. They obviously do not hate Muslims nor promote the killing of Palestinians (for proof visit their facebook group). In this age of political correctness we have been taught that all acts are morally equivalent– that the death of a terrorist is equal to the death of a college student, that a child throwing rocks at a soldier is the same as a peace march and that a security fence is apartheid. No historical context is needed, all acts can be judged on the same principal. The truth is hard to see in today’s world of instant media and we often are too lazy to search of it. The very simple and uncomfortable truth here is that there are well over 100 anti-Jewish hate groups on Facebook and many are run by those who claim to be merely “anti-Zionist” or “anti-Israel.” Calling for the death of Israelis is being anti-semitic, plain and simple. Just as calling any group of people “pigs” or wishing for their annihilation is morally wrong, xenophobic and dehumanizing. The group “Israel is not a country” certainly does refer to Jews as being less than human and regularly allows posts and commentary that refers to Jews as pigs, dogs, Nazis etc. That is not real discourse nor does it contribute in anyway to helping the Palestinian people. There are too many groups that seek to hide behind the guise of helping the Palestinian people, but really aim to spread hatred of Jews. Palestinians are truly one of the most manipulated and used group of people in the world, their cause is taken on by the worst of the worst (Hezbollah, Hamas etc.) People with no interest in doing anything more than keeping them in a perpetual state of violence and poverty, while they spread their hatred, deflect attention away from their corruption and collect their UN monies.

Unfortunately this Newsvine article certainly got it wrong. For starters, the author didn’t bother to even interview the people from “Israel is not a Country” group. Maybe he could have learned something about their motivations if he had even bothered to look at their Facebook site and read some of their posts. Also our valiant reporter didn’t even search/investigate the “Delist Israel is not a country” Facebook site and read there posts and commentary as a comparison point. It is this type of shoddy “reporting” that encourages people to pass lazy and biased judgments about those “crazy Zionists” and their plots to take over the world.

Thank you for making me feel even more negative about the field of journalism and what it has become—propaganda.

As it turns out, the leading members of the JIDF are actually racists. The following conversation occured between myself and another member of the JIDF. Justin: (T)eaching that we are better than anyone else is exactly what the Nazis did. We may be God's chosen people, but that doesn't mean everyone else is an animal, and frankly, anyone who actually believes that non-Jews are lesser beings are no better than Nazis, and I want nothing to do with them. Binyomin: Comparing the Nazis superiority claim to the Torah's proof is a bit idiotic. When Rabbi Kahane was interviewed once the interviewer asked what made his assertion different from any other groups. He simply replied because the Torah say's we're right. The key difference of course which you must notice is that whereas other groups use this for some form of killing another group we never do. The JIDF and David Appletree are only against racism if it comes from non-Jews. I am now a former member, and fight against the JIDF. Not against their principles, but against their racist members. They believe that Jews are superior to all others. I remember an young Austrian man claiming that Aryans were superior to all others 70 years ago, and slaughtering our people because of it. The racism of the ranking members of the JIDF is an insult to everything the rest of us tried to work for. David Appletree is no longer a hero. He is no better than any other racist out there, and deserves no honour or praise. Justins last blog post..The End of the JIDF

I have received numerou emails complaining that I have given an unfair voice to JIDF without addressing the other side. I would be happy to do the same interview with a legitimate representative of an Anti-Israel group-I am not looking for rants or giving a forum for anti-semitic hate speech. If you have you represent a group and can state a a logic argument, contact me through the contact form on this blog.

[...] According to the JIDF, it is acting “with the advice of legal counsel and within the confines of the law.” [...]

Eric,

You are missing the point. The JIDF is not one of those pussyfooting liberal groups that wants to sacrifice Jewish lives for the sake of various Arab “peace” fictions. The JIDF says outright that if it’s OK for Arabs to say “let’s kill all Jews” and be applauded in the media and around the world, it is also OK for Jews to stand up to their executioners. The double standard you mention exists because of people like you, who think terrorism is OK as long as it’s an Arab doing the killing and a Jew doing the dying, but the other way around is “sickening” and “deplorable.”

Furthermore, historical facts work against your viewpoint. Population transfers have occurred with some regularity, from the time the Romans evicted the Jews from Palestine, to the time 12 million Germans were refugees as a result of World War II, to various later conflicts.

In all those cases, the refugees were resettled. It is only the Palestinians who remain refugees, and they remain refugees by choice- their choice, the UN’s choice, the Arab world’s choice. Nobody says a population transfer implies genocide, except for those terrorist groups who want to exterminate Israel and the Jewish people.

The same goes for land concessions. The West Bank and Gaza were won in war, fair and square, and its Arab populations should’ve been removed long ago- as Jewish populations were removed while those territories were occupied by Jordan and Egypt, 1948-1967. What’s fair is fair, and there’s no point in whining about it.

Hi, my name is Brian Miller. Recently I launched a brand new Jewish networking site called JewGlue.com (Where Jewish People Shtick Together). I came across your blog, and thought our site (which offers free blogs, listings, groups, and networking) could be very beneficial to you whether your interested in writing another blog or reading additional ones. We are brand new and have been growing at a rapid pace. If you have time, I hope you can check out the site and enjoy everything we have to offer.

Thanks,

Its quite clear both sides are as bad as each other.
The group was legitimate untill it was taken over by fundamentalists… however does this mean all “israel is not a country” groups should be removed… CERTAINLY NOT.

It is just a shame that legitimate beacons for logical discussion often attract illogical closeminded people OF BOTH SIDES.

Shimshon Ha Gibor please dont ever say that israel has a right to be there BECAUSE of god, you just sound like a tool since there are far more *legitimate* arguments you could use to justify your viewpoint. God has no place is pollitical/international discussions in the 21st century.
To say they have 22 other countries to move to is rediculous… that would be like the world telling all the jews to move to isreal… what an ignorant thing to say.

As for the groups being deleted i will close with voltaire
“i dont agree with what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it”
and for that reason, i feel jdif has crossed the line
