		<description>Having received too many emails at a time of illness, I may be late in reading my back copies of one of the most enjoyable online mags ever. I have told everyone about it so bear with me on my late comments.

I will address the real Ruth Tenne It is people like you that make it easy for our children to get propagandized. You do not know history if you do not know that Israel wanted to build homes and make peace with the so called Palestinians, which also encompass Jews born in the state of Palestine also Palestinians.

How many times has Israel, stupidly, released prisoners and made the world think they are crazy? How many guns have the Israelis given to the Palestinians to use to police their own parts of their land only to eventually have them turned on the Israelis? How many immigrants have been taken in by Israel when other Arab countrys throw them out? What happened to make Arafat walk away from all but the Western Wall?

You show a lack of any sense of history or knowledge of the past 60 years. Never will the Palestinians make peace until they push the Israelis, including yourself, into the sea. 

They just don&#039;t want Jews in &quot;their&quot; area. Then they will come for us Americans. 

You so called peaceniks..have no common sense, unfortunately, but live in a fantasy world. Not saying you have not met decent Palestinians but Jews born there before Israel tried to help the arabs, nomads, syrians etc who suddenly had ancestors in Israel but lived  in the sand and did not do anything now want the rich flourishing country for themselves.

Look at what happened in Gaza? The jews moved out crying as they left their homes after 30 years and left their hard work for the economy of the Palestinians.

The Palestinians voted for Hamas who then proceeded to burn all the groves in order to make the people the Poster children of the world against Israel.

We now have a Pres.Obama who is Muslim and is no better than Hamas and will not rest till he pushes the Israelis into the sea.</description>

		<description>Once again an imposter misused my name  in order to smear my involved  campaign for the Palestinian cause  (see entry by ruth tenne 20 january ). I am the genuine Ruth Tenne who is an peace activist and a member of  the Palestinian solidarity Campaign  and Jews for Justice for Palestinian.  
As an israeli peace activist who witnessed the plight of the Palestinians for the past 61 years , I am a great supporter of  Jimmy Carter whose book- Peace Not Apartheid  had won excellent  reviews. In this book Jimmy Carter criticizes  Israel&#039;s occupation and policies towards the Palestinians which are reminiscent of South Africa Apartheid of the past. I have a great admiration for former US President - Jimmy Carter- who is prepared to  take a stand against US policy of unquestionable support and aid to the racist state of Israel.

I request that you remove the entry by the imposter ruth tenne  (or insert  a disclaimer alongside)  and post my genuine entry instead.
I would like to add that I have published a significant  number of  articles/reports  about the Palestinian cause which could be found on Palestine Chronicle,Media Monitors Network,Middle East Online and others which also include a reference to my background and to my campaign  work.

		<description>is the Nation of Israel a holy nation, or a political one?  do religious American Jews identify with Israel for religious reasons or political ones? Without knowing Pres. Carter&#039;s feelings for religious Jews, he gets blasted for political dealings with the Israeli state.  Examine his humanitarian works via the Carter Center before condemning him to Hell.</description>

		<description>Patrick, you want us to forgive Jimmy Carter?  Let him do a real act of teshuvah (penitence) for Lashon HaRah (slander).

A famous Chasidic story illustrates what teshuva is: guy goes around town slandering the rabbi.  Guy comes to regret it, and goes to apologize to the rabbi.  The rabbi said, &quot;bring your feather pillow to the top of the hill, cut it open, and scatter the feathers to the wind.&quot;  Guy goes and does, and returns.  And then the rabbi says, &quot;now go collect all the feathers.&quot;  The guy says, &quot;that&#039;s impossible!&quot;  The rabbi responds, &quot;just as recollecting all the feathers is impossible, so too is undoing the damage from slander.&quot;

Jimmy Carter has done public, irreparable damage to the name, reputation, and safety of the Jewish People.  Because of him, Israel has continued to face unbelievably high scrutiny, and therefore has been restricted from protecting itself.  In so doing, he has played into the hands of a long line of anti-Semites, the latest of whom have been the U.N., Ahmedinijad, and Mel Gibson.

So you want forgiveness, Mr. President?  Dedicate the rest of your life to SAVING the Jewish People, and I&#039;ll consider it in ten more years.</description>

		<description>Israelis and Jews whether they be seperate creatures or the same are no more perfect than anyone else.You have a right to be for your own self intrests of course.But if you are only for yourself .What kind of schmeggege are you anyway.Everybody has a right to some happiness.Many Jews are hysterical  over controlling  opinion.In essence.Israelis have a right to security.This is an inherant right.It is okay if they like Jews more than Gentiles.Thats their perogitive.And the war is not their fault alone.The Jews have a right to fight back, and they are very good fighters.The Arabs deserve most of what they are getting , but there are people on both sides that want to prolong the war. The Jews can&#039;t just  waltz into Dodge City without their guns.You shouldn&#039;t want to make an anti-semite out of Carter, just because you don&#039;t agree with him.You shouldn&#039;t sacrifice Palestinian Christians or Irish Catholics b/c of your own narrow ethnocentric opinions or for the strategical cynical alliance that furthers a politikal gain..Once Jews were the victims.Now stronger they get to be the victimizer sometimes,Whoopie!Don&#039;t always play the poor little innocent victim card.The Holocaust it is true. although some say that the death count was only 5,999,997.?Quien sabes, that is pretty close.Lets put all people in prison who disagree.All of Humanity has been the oppressed ,at times and the oppressor[Blacks hear that].We are all in this together and if the Yehudim are Chosen it doesn&#039;t mean better than everyone else.Just maybe better for yourself.Or &quot;chosen&quot; for the special mission of teaching the world, and helping to save lives.Jews lives are just as special as anyone elses, and Jews have been present in Palestine since antiquity.With or without a government.And since we all have a self, we all deserve a little respect.Liebe Siempre.</description>

		<description>This is an excellent characterization of Jimmy Carter, a Baptist filled with hate against Israel. But he can make amends... let him write a lengthy book about his treachery in supporting the terrorist gangs among the Palestinians and about the wonders and marvels of the holy land of Israel, which continues to be a light unto the nations. Only in this way will Carter&#039;s &quot;al chayt&quot; be genuine. I am sending this note to him personally at his residence in Georgia.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m all for Jews settling in the land of Israel. I did it myself. I&#039;m all for Jews learning Torah and keeping our traditions AND taking part in the discussion of the state&#039;s policy AND defending the country. I&#039;ve done that too. The national religious sector are fine soldiers and are indeed discriminated against and persecuted, and they have every right to a voice. But I have to take issue with Naomi Ragen, Carolyn Glick, and the like, when they yell hysterically at American Jews about their voting preferences. When I vote in American elections,I don&#039;t follow any party lines or subscribe to left or right, or consider Israel the only issue. I vote for who I think is the most competent and most likely to do well for America. I suspect that most American Jews do the same. I believe that strengthening the competence of the governors of the U.S. will be better for Israel than voting in incompetent persons.  And reading the writings of critical thinkers who do not distort facts is far preferable to what we see in the Israeli press.</description>

		<description>to blame one man for a world of evil (Adam included) is to deny any personal responsibility of individuals; likewise, praising Israel for being one of the most moral nations in history paints with an equally broad brush; be careful not to break the commandment on bearing false witness---Pres.Carter is not an anti-semite nor is he a N--i, as the author comes just short of saying.</description>

		<description>It is typical of Naomi Ragen, a well-known extreme right winger, to pass along the type of rant that Mr. Graulich has penned. His condemnation of Jimmy Carter is justified, but his use of inflammatory, ad-hominem attacks on those with whom he disagrees is not. It is typical of the likes of Ragen and Graulich to attack people rather than focus on their ideas. More light, less heat, Naomi.</description>

		<description>&quot;He allowed the Shah of Iran to fall....&quot;

Yes, imagine allowing the people of Iran depose their beloved monarch!

&quot;...a born and bred true Polish anti-western antisemite in the tradition of those who aided the Nazis, actually became his National Security Advisor—Zbigniew Brzezinski.&quot;

Yes, born of and bred by his father, Tadeusz Brezezinski. This from Wikipedia:

&quot;While in Leipzig, Germany, before World War II, Brzeziński became involved in efforts to rescue European Jews from Nazi concentration camps. In 1978, his efforts on behalf of the Jewish people were recognized by Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin.&quot;

Why read further?  Irwin N. Graulich is a shmegeggy.</description>

		<description>Cantor Penny,
It is totally legitimate to question the validity of a &quot;Jewish&quot; leader when that Jewish leader has no knowledge of Judaism.  If so, he/she cannot truly represent the people for which he/she claims to speak.

Whether Foxman is or isn&#039;t Jewishly knowledgeable, I cannot say.  However, it is totally legitimate and in fact required to question as to whether leaders speak for us, and whether they represent the defining attributes of our people.</description>

		<description>Jimmy Carter wasn&#039;t the worst U.S. president in American history.  He was the second-worst.  The absolute worst was James Buchanan, who willingly allowed the nation to go to war with itself.

Nonetheless, for all the reasons mentioned in the e-mail, Jimmy Carter is the worst ex-president in U.S. history.</description>

		<description>Mr. Graulich had me ... until this: &quot;... only non-Jewish Jews like Abe Foxman of the ADL, who have almost no knowledge of Judaism ...&quot;

Playing the &quot;he&#039;s not really a Jew&quot; card is the last gasp of someone who cannot make an argument stick. It demeans the writer and makes a mockery of what could have been a persuasive argument simply on its own merits. 

You don&#039;t like Mr. Foxman? You disagree with his positions? Fine. Say so. But leave out the Jewish version of anti-Semitic slurs; they have no place in well-reasoned dialog.</description>
