#1 Why does the U.S. legitimize this ridiculous "court" by our presence? Why is Israel participating in this sham? Israel certainly won't change the wall after the inevitable decree that it is "illegal". Someone help me understand this lunacy.

#2 Kirk - i'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that rulings are advisory, i.e. not binding and the issue goes back to to the UN - specifically the security council where there will never be a binding resolution on Israel. Certainly not while GWB is in white house. So there is no real down side for the Israelis and it will be another lesson in irrelevance and impotence of the tranzi 'vision'. Like others I assume they will find against Israel. Although I would like to hear a lawyers opinion seeing the teritorities are not a state and they should only be concerned with state to state issues.

#3 Does anyone believe the Egyptian judge could vote in Israel's favor and survive the mob upon his return to Egypt?

#4 44 countries have submitted depositions in the case, from Japan to Brazil and the tiny Pacific island of Palau, which has only 20,000 people.

WTF does Palau have to do with anything? Why are they being deposed? Did the court request statements from the Ancient Maya as well? they're about as involved...

#5 why palau?

IIUC the initial Israeli response is to deny the authority of the court on a matter like this. Presumably all UN members have a right to and interest in commenting on the issue of the authority of the court. I assume Palau, like other Pacific island states, will be close to the US view on this.

#8 Anti-semitism Anti-semitism Anti-semitism lol.

#6 JFM Open your eyes and see how the BLACK jews from Ethiopia and elsewhere are treated in Israel.

The Zion will prove to be a historically failed experiment built by people practising idol worship (Israeli god has a son?!) and following the pedophile manual called talmud.

#9 Faisal, you do see the difference between mistreatement and turning blacks into slaves don't you? Israel doesn't make Blacks into slaves the way they do in the Sudan.

Please provide a link so we can all be informed how poorly the BLACK jews from Ethiopia are treated. I haven't heard anything about it.

#10 Don't go luring Faisal off the grounds white folks! He frighten easily. Tell him come back to the grounds we're having his favorite jello and then we're gonna watch Toole O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia (I always gotta wash a weeks supply of Faisals socks after that one).

#11 Ruprecht,

Sadly, there have been problems in Israel with the treatment of the Ethopean Jews. It's a fact. I haven't heard of any problems in the last few years, so perhaps conditions have improved. But soon after they came to Israel, the Rabbinate were suggesting that they needed to âconvertâ since they had fallen away from traditional Jewish practice. And, when Ethopean Jews had discovered that their blood donations had been discarded untouchedâ fear of AIDSâthey did protest and riot.

Now, there have been some cults in the US that have called themselves âBlack Jews,â but those smack of insanity and criminality. There's a man in Federal prison right now serving sentences for murder, robbery, and drug trafficing, who uses the alias of Yahweh ben Yahweh. The State of Israel does not let them in; that's a perfectly reasonable attitude.

But, Faisal, idol worship? The Israeli god has a son? I think you're mixing up your religions here. I am a Jew, not a Christian. I do not worship idols. As the most famous prayer in Judaism states, Shma Yisrael, Adonai ELohaynu, Adonai Echad. Hear, O Israel, The Lord Our God, The Lord Is One.

And, the pedophile manual called Talmud? Who exactly marries 9-year-olds? Not us! I think this is called projection. Have you ever looked at the Talmud? The Torah? Or, are you just reciting the sick fictions of your mullahs, without thought? I would wager that you take the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, that sick forgery by the Czar's secret police, as gospel.

In short, Faisal, when Israel and Jews have problems, they deal with them. They try to improve. When they have problems, they fix them. When the Arab nations have problems, they just state that it's Allah's will, and do nothing.

Are you planning to throw stones?

#12 Eric:

a fine and noble effort, but faisal does not want to discuss, he wants to find fault. Mainly with Jews.

and I must disagree on one point:

When the Arab nations have problems, they just state that it's Allah's will, and do nothing

this is not true. when arabs have problems they blame Jews. Faisal is simply following in that tradition.

#13 Faisal knows all about pedophilia, being a bedwetting closet case himself.

Israel's a failed experiment? Wait until every nation in the Islamic world is destroyed. Then we'll see who's a failure.

#14 PlanetDan,

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 1, Scene 3.

Perhaps not the best epigraph for a discussion on anti-Semitism, but it will have to do. Anyhow, Faisal did have a grain of truth in his rant, which saddens me. I wish he hadn't.

#15 Faisal

You are incredible (and BTW if you are a real Arab I still challenge you to tell "Can I have two coffees, please?" in Arabic). Israelis don't go into murder and rape parties like the Jihadis do.
Since Saudis go to rape in Soudan I think it would be fair to allow Soudanese women to turn Saudi Arabia into Eunuchistan.
