yes the film over shadows the palestinian cause. i mean it only shows one side of the story which is the jews side! i mean what happened to the palestinians? dont u think they should have shown their side of the story? because i mean we only know what the media tells us which is propoganda most of the time....

Unfortunately he IS our PM and therefore carries the mandate to speak for Canada - even if it isn't what we personally choose to say.  I cannot agree with the above statement "Canada supports Israel" - If they are wrong then they are wrong - we cannot simply let them be because of  historical events and fear of being labled anti-semetic - disagreeing with the wholesale murder of civilians in any country they attack IS NOT ANTI-SEMETIC.\n\nHowever back to my point - He can speak for us but if we feel he's got it wrong then WE must state our case loudly and proudly.\n\nAs much as I am NOT a conservative and found "Stevie" to be a dull dull boy - I saw him on the Mercer report the other night and (argghh, I have to admit it) the man was funny and managed to raise my personal opinion of him to a new level - from below zero to 2 - it is KEY that our leaders have a sense of humour and are able to mock their own reputations!

Because our media is biased to favor government policies and the current administration so this comment was not reported in the US at the time it happened. \n I only heard it myself about two years ago and have to say I am not surprised. The nation of Israel was only created so that we would something in the middle east to stir up animosity amongst the arabs.

Interesting. I liked the whole comment about having a lack of tension. I may be wrong, but I think the guy's from Iran. Don't they kind of have a habit of ignoring the international community and causing just a wee bit of tension on the rest of the PLANET? Besides, he underestimates the intellect of the American people; we are perfectly used to political rhetoric trying to play our emotions off of current events so that we form a favorable opinion to their cause(in this case namely "destroying the Zionist Jews") I hope he doesn't plan his reelection on it. Oh ya, if he gets thrown out, he'll just kill who he has to in order to get back.

The Munich massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage by the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September – a group within Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization. The kidnappers eventually murdered 11 Israeli athletes, nine of them during the botched German rescue attempt, and one German police officer. Five of the eight kidnappers were also killed by police during the rescue attempt, with the three captured surviving kidnappers later being released by Germany following the hijacking of a Lufthansa airliner.\nIn response to the attack, Israel planned and carried out the assassination of a number of individuals who were said to have been responsible. Although it was believed that two of the three surviving kidnappers were killed as part of these reprisals, some recent evidence appears to indicate otherwise.\nSimon Reeve wrote that the Munich massacre was one of the most significant terror attacks of recent times, one that "thrust the Palestinian cause into the world spotlight, set the tone for decades of conflict in the Middle East, and launched a new era of international terrorism".

Yes, he was, born in Munich.  (As you are a yank, I'll point out that is in GERMANY, in EUROPE - head east from New York).  He was also jewish, and managed to get out in time.\n\nHow stupid do you feel now?

No Israel is not always right. They claim to just defend themselves and this is far from the truth. Look at media coverage that is not from the US. The invasion of Lebanon recently Israel invaded that country because two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped. The Israeli soldiers were illegally inside of Lebanon, but they dont mention that in the US. Israeli has kidnapped hundreds of Palestinian leaders, democratically elected leaders and put them in jail for no cause, they crossed into Palestine and took these people from their homes. There are reasons the arab countries hate Israel and it isnt that stupid line they hate the jews. Jews are not Israelis, "Jews" are people who practice Judaism. Israelis are the people who live in Israel.

Hell yeah! And anyone who does not know this well documented fact is an idiot of the worst kind. While the Prez is blaming bad intell , the CIA and FBI are saying they warned him many times. Other countries warned the Bush administration about certain events. Bush was warned that Irag had NO WMD's but he went on anyways. \n\n Not because of bad intell but because he is loyal to the war mongering state of Israel and the fact that his entire cabinnet is all Jewish , most with duel citizenship in America and Israel. Esentually he and his jewish cabinate have caused innocent Americans to die for Israels war. Their all liars! Fire the whole bunch next election and vote the Jews out of every office and I garentee peace will return to America and other lands once these war mongers and leaches upon the American tax payer are out of our governments offices. Any Amrican that votes  a jew in office deserves what we are now getting. It is time to give America back to the people of American and get these duel citizen jews out of our government offices!

Yes, they call it "targeted killing".  That's another way of saying assassination or murder.\n\nIt has been the Israeli way for decades.\nIt's now the American way.

Whether the Holocaust really happened or not only matters for Israel, and Germany, cause Israel benefits from that claim, and i think that Germany is still compensating for Israel..\nBut what matters for all of us, is the possibility of such a terrible thing to happen to any one, or any group.\nA lots of terrible things like the Holocaust are happening in the world right now.. Like the hunger in some african countries, the diseases, and lots more.\nSome estimate that 100,000 people have been killed in Iraq. Isn't that a Holocaust?\nI hope we work to prevent Holocausts, rather than argue about an ugly part of our human history..

I SERIOUSLY doubt it.\n\nHowever, German media is very pro-Israeli.\nThey are VERY careful not to offend Jews in anything.

Yes, usually Israelis lying about their guilty and this is normal action among terrorist regimes.\nAlso, this is Egyptian mistake...!\nIf Egyptian soldiers want to be safe against some murderers like Zionists, they should defence themselves.\nWhen you let murderers and occupiers shooting at you and you just protesting against them while any international rules couldn't / can't keep you safe, so you should DEFENCE yourself.

no,they are not.The media takes care that Israel remains the "victim " no matter  for what reasons or who they are attacking the Palestinians.I'm not saying that it's OK that some militants have kidnapped that soldier,but i really think that Israel is over reacting

he hasnt done anything yet, but when someone calls for the total destruction of a whole race, like israelis, then you have to wonder.  He wants a democratic Iran but he still wants to destroy jews.  he doesnt know what he wants, but I know I wouldnt want him as my boss.

No it is not offensive and you should protest that violation. You are well within your rights to call Israel a terrorist state based on the actions of the country since its conception. I hope you do not just accept this violation. This is no way an epithet or a slur, you are merely stating your opinion. Unless for some reason the country of Israel itself, turned into a person capable of using Yahoo Answers and is now asking and answering questions, then maybe they could be offended. In reality it was probably just someone who was offended by it and was like ohh that is so wrong.

Unfortunately, you are not educated about the situation.  Israel should be criticized, just as any other country, for any wrongdoing.  However, what is antisemitic is when Israel is criticized for an action that is very small at the same time other countries are commiting crimes that are ignored.  Does that make any sense?  Of course not.  \n\nYou really need to find facts on Israel, as well.  Jews have ALWAYS lived in the land of Israel -- always.  The Jews were happy to share the land with Muslims.  But the Muslims couldn't stand to have any non-Muslims in the world, so they rejected the two-state solution.\n\nAre you aware that Arab nations made refugees out of anywhere from 600,00 to 800,000 Jews after WWII?  Those numbers are many times over the Muslim refugees from Israel.\n\nThe fact is that Muslims have explicitly stated that they want world domination.  Open your eyes and look at all the filth that they spew not only upon Jews but upon ALL of the western world.  You've been gullible and bought the Muslim "victim" card they love to play so well.\n \nDo some serious research from credible sources - not Muslim sources, which are not only biased, but they contain actual lies (that may be misproven time and time again).\n\nPlease, don't become another dumb American who doesn't know how to find out the truth!
