When are you going to realise that Pal extremism is of YOUR government's making? You've been screwing over the Pals for decades and thereby marginalising moderate voices and playing into the hands of extremists, delivering them support throughout the Arab world.

Israel is the problem, not the solution.

I tell you what is more likely than Israel being nuked. sooner of later Israel will be put under the kind of boycotts that South Africa was - your treatment of the Pals is little different from apartheid - you make them second class citiznes in their own country.

So no Eurovision, no sporting contacts, no trade, no economic ties. 30 or 40 years of that, maybe less, and you'll come around. Eventually the United States will walk away from you if you continue your current policies, as sure as night follows day.

Look on Egypt! Look on Lybia, on Pakistan, on Syria, on Afghanistan, on Saudi Arabia, on Iran, on Iraq! The rhethorics is identical, if not worse. The only difference is that they cant attack Israel, unlike the Palestinians.

It's not "occupation"(97% of the population under Pal control) that causes terror and hatred. It's the poverty, the corruption and the incitement.

If there are lots of moderates and only a few extremists and the occupation "marginalises moderate voices" in Palestine, why does it happen in the whole Arab world?

We've done more in ME to bring peace then any other nation.It was mr arafat who deided to reject his best offer which would of gave him almost everything, instead he walked out of CD proclaiming Jerusalem would be part of palestine.

Mr. fat is the only ethnic cleanser. Not ony has he aked for a million suicide bombers, he has begged Saddam to send troops and anthrax . How do you explain this? Sharon isnt committing genocide. This morning, Israel Mossad and army made an inursion into the west bank city of bethlehem. Suprise, Suprise they found, a Suicide bomber in a taxi cab on his way to Israel and several others preparing to do the same.




Our first goal, and rightfully so, is a secure Jewish state so you European Butchers will have to find someone else to scapegoat in ww3.

I always wonder, how come Israel gets a special word to describe discrimination against them (anti-semitism) and how come it's always dragged up the SECOND anyone even so much as minorly disagrees with them? Maybe Israel would have more support if it wasn't so ****ing touchy!

For those of you who truly believe the occupation is the sole and exclusive cause of Arafat's terrorist acts, how do you explain that Arafat started his terrorist acts prior to 1967 when none of the Palestinians were under occupation?

Believe what fantasies you want, but simply withdrawing from the occupied territories does not change the fact that the terrorist acts have little or nothing to do with the occupation. They have everything to do with Israel's presence in Palestine.

Again, please explain why the terrorist acts by Arafat began before the Six Day War.

Geez you guys always drag up the same arguments don't you?

Basically the European viewpoint is that both sides are as guilty as the other. The Palestinians for their incitement of violence against civilians, Israelis for their excessively hard handed retaliations. Both sides routinely flaunt basic human rights, and tbh I don't see why we're still trading with either of them. But then most Euros will do anything for a quick buck or two.

And I wish the pro-Israel people would finally get it thru their thick skills that be against the actions of the Israeli state does not mean we're against the Israeli people (or Jews for that matter). The slight rise in anti-semitic attacks in Europe has mostly been attributed to radical Muslim groups and some far right groups who will use any excuse to do stupid stuff.

Yeah, the Yugoslav guerillas actually managed to defeat the Nazis all on their own.

We also now know about the extent of collaboration by French goverment officials and citizens. Come to think of it, there was a fair amount of that running around throughout all of occupied Europe. Can anyone here say "Waffen SS"?

Lightblue, The way I see it, the Euro's do not have any solution but unilateral surrender by Israel. That is not going to happen. So, the EU position simply prolongs the violent stalemate until a country like Iraq or Iran acquires the bomb. Then we will have nuclear war in the ME.

This thread includes some statements about people that would be labeled as anti-semitic in a second flatt if it had been about jews. Quite stupid ones I might add.

As for the original so called topic of the thread. Not wasting my time on actually watching the show I've just read the Ha'aretz article dealing with the issue. The eurovision song contest is really getting more pathetic for each year. It used to be about lousy music but now it's also about petty politics. It only used to be Cyprus and Greece that did that kind of thing but now the votes of different countries is actually seen as a reflection of those countries attitude towards Israel.

Isn't this a bit too much?!

The Swedish goverment doesn't control the commentaing of the show and i surely hope the Israeli or any other state do that either.

Although anti-Semitism has never been absent from Europe (and is now on the rise again), I still don't think a majority of Europeans can be called anti-Semites. And there is still a lot of compassion with the Jewish victims of Nazi terror and mass murder.
What a majority of Europeans find hard to accept, however, is the new concept of the assertive Jew, the self-defending Jew, the Jew who uses power to ensure that the Jewish helplessness of the Nazi era, 1933-45, will never return. Only 60 years after Europeans killed six million Jews or stood by while they were being killed, their descendants see fit to once again support anti-Jewish terrorism. They do this under the guise of humanitarian concern for the "Palestinian people". It's easy though to show that many of them have an agenda which is anti-Zionist, or, worse, anti-Semite.
Why do anti-Israel protesters in Europe never fail to remind us that the territories have been occupied for 35 years now, while at the same time never reminding us of the developments that led to the Six Day War and the ensuing occupation (or giving a distorted description of these developments, branding Israel as the aggressor)? Why do they never fail to remind us that Sharon is a "war criminal", while at the same time glossing over the fact that the Sabra and Shatila murders were committed by Christian, Lebanese Arabs for reasons which had an entirely Lebanese character (a revenge for the murder of Christian Lebanese president Gemayel, for which the Christian Arabs blamed the PLO; later it turned out that Syria was behind it).
I have no problem with criticism of Israeli policies as such (I for one have always been against their settlement policies), but European criticism of Israel these days goes far beyond that, and is outrageously biased. I sympathize with those Americans, Canadians, Israelis, etc, who point this out on this forum.

Yup, "apart from the contract" indeed. Apart from the fact that the Social Democrats get to name every single coworker, as long as they don't violate the nepotist rules. Apart from the fact that the board is stuffed with people form Social Democrat associations. "Folkrörelsestyrt", anyone?

Clearly, it's utterly ridiculous to even suggest the Swedish state has anyting to do with SVT. Perish the thought. The reason the Social Democratic party convents get ten time more media coverage in SVT than all other parties combined is that G Persson is just so darn sexy, innit?

Actually we Europeans really are a monolithic block evil anti-semites. In fact, we don't even have minds of our own - the communist oppression of our governments has destroyed all signs of self-determination in the people, and now we are just one big hive mind.
As a result we have this pathological hatred of Jews, but due to the deteriorating effect of our communist governments' inefficiency, we have failed to act upon it in any way apart from critique of Israeli policies. The only reason some synagogue strikes have actually succeeded is because they've been committed by Arab immigrants, who haven't quite been assimilated yet.

I hope that clears it up for you furriners.
