What, that the Israeli government couldn't be bothered? ;)

Seriously though, they oughta be able to go to the Yemeni government and complain, and if they won't listen, they need to approach the UN or someone. I mean, the smarter option would probably be to just leave and live somewhere else, but on principle at least they shouldn't cave in to these SA types.

Another culture wiped out by hatred and ignorance...it's a shame that so many cultures, especially the Jews and other minority religions, have been destroyed due to the intolerance of their fellow citizens.

I hope they at least make it out safely; Yemen will get its comeuppance when it becomes even more isolated and backward than it is already showing itself to be.

You've got to be kidding me. The Jews have produced a rich written and oral tradition that interweaves the arts, religion, theology, philosophy, and genealogy in to a series of works that span thousands of years and a number of cultures and authors. Works like the Torah have an amazing history behind them that reflects the rich culture of the Jews throughout their history.

And they do have a "real" history, just like any other culture. I don't dismiss the Romans or Egyptians because their histories were mixed with religious and mythological commentary.

There's only about 50 Jewish families there. I think we should airlift them to the U.S. They could live in Chicago. I hear there's some ill-used property called Cellular Field that would accommodate them. We could rip down that useless structure and put up refugee housing.

It's basically Fox for Israelis. But that's hardly enough of a reason to doubt what's going on in Yemen.

The only thing the article forgets to mention is that the Sheikh in question is not actually the government, and the government has in the past tried to protect Jews there. Nor has it really spoken about the way Israel has treated the Yemenite community in the past (what with their intolerance of different forms of Judaism and all) - though that's only indirectly connected to the issue, so it wasn't necessary in this article.

Local officials confirmed that the Yemeni Jews are still staying at the hotel in Sadaa until yesterday but they promised they would solve the problem and return them to their home and secure and protect them, like other Yemeni citizens, from any dangers.

"Yes, they received threats from Al Houthi supporters. They are now here in the hotel but I can assure you that the problem will be solved today, and they will return to their villages," Salem Al Wehayshi, Sadaa deputy governor told Gulf News.

And how exactly do you expect us to take this 'information news' source seriously? It might as well be some European newspaper saying 'Stop the crucifixion of Jews in Europe!' on the front page.

As I have said many times, every Israeli citizens is a legitimate target for collaborating with the racist and oppressive Zionist regime, and for imperialistically supporting the 'Greater Israel' via West Bank settlements, and for the establishment of Jerusalem/WB ghettos like Abu Dis where thousands of Palestinians live in near inhumane conditions. And are subject to beatings by Zionist troops and settlers.

Be careful. Some people might take your callous words to mean you too are a troll, and I wouldn't blame them. You have blood on your hands; you are not Pontius Pilate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontius_Pilate#Responsibility_for_Jesus.27_death). You cannot just wash your hands of any wrong doing because you're as guilty of any of us. You cannot simply declare that IDF is a troll because of his ideas. There is not taking someone seriously because they are a broken-record poster and then because they have actually trolled. I say it's the prior because IDF frequently and knowingly posts Pro-Israeli material; aka, he's a broken record.

Maybe if they had oil fields or a influential lobby in Washington, but otherwise, they're as significant as everybody else. In global terms? Not very.

So why didn't Israel give those people safe haven?

They gave most of the Yemenite Jews a safe haven through Operation Magic Carpet. Not all of the Jews wanted to leave and some were simply forgotten. The nation of Israel had but 600,000 people and was absorbing almost 1,000,000 immigrants who were fleeing for their lives after being bannished from Muslim nations.

Israel simply didn't have the resources or infrastructure in 1949 to make sure they did the job right and got everyone out.

We have a recruit class next year that is going to be one of the top 5 in the NCAA. We won't do much still next year since we lose both Carl Landry and David Teague. In 2 years, we will be competitive again. We have a shot at the NCAA Tourney this year though.

Jews against Zionism are against it because they are religious extremists who believe that the Torah states Israel can only be founded by G-d alone. They see the Israeli State as a sin because it was founded by man and not G-d. That is why there are anti-zionist Jews. They are nothing but fanatics who think G-d has to do everything for them.

1. Israel is not an apartheit state, if it was then it wouldn't have Arabs in parliament, in the cabinet, and in the supreme court.
2. Israel is not a theocracy, as you would know if you'd taken the time to read anything about it.
3. Arab citizens have equal rights in Israel. The right of return is necessary to prevent another holocaust.
4. Israel, Cyprus, and Turkey are the only countries in the Middle East where homosexuality is neither illegal nor persecuted by the authorities; it's the only Asian country (bar Japan) where homophobic discrimination is illegal. In fact, Israel is one of the best countries in the world for gay rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_rights_in_Israel).
5. The settlements should be dismantled as part of the creation of a Palestinian state. The sooner Hamas pull their collective heads out of their arses and negotiate the better it will be for everyone.

Transjordan was founded to be a Palestinian state, that doesn't mean that all Palestinians are obligated to live there, neither does it excuse discrimination against Palestinians elsewhere.

The Emirate of Transjordan was created by the British in 1923, out of their Mandate of Palestine. From the brief accounts I've read, the idea was to give a throne to Abdullah, the eldest son of Sharif Hussein of Mecca, and to split Palestine proper - the part west of the Jordan and the Dead Sea - from the rest of the Mandate. This also limited the amount of territory that a Jewish National Homeland could lay claim to, though that was hardly stated by the British. Whether or not you call anyone living in the Palestinian Mandate a "Palestinian" is, to me, besides the point.

My thought on this thread, and after reading the linked article, was to wonder why Israel hasn't helped those poor people relocate. I know that Yemen is their homeland and all, but they are obviously no longer welcome and it seems to be to be the height of folly to continue living in such a place, especially when you have no chance to change the attitude of the rest of the population. Or more importantly, the government.

All of your posts about Israel show you are a fool who knows jack shit about the topic. Your other post claiming Israel is a theocracy and homophobic proves that point beyond all doubt.

Most of the anti-Israeli Jews have those views because they are fundamentalists. That isn't an opinion, that is a statement of fact. They come from extreme Orthodox sects that believe only G-d himself can create a nation in the land of Israel. They see those who are behind Israel as heretics.

As for those in Europe, why should you be surprised? We are talking about a continent that within recent memory killed 2/3 Jews living in it. Anti-semitism in Europe is alive and well. It has existed for 2 thousand years and isn't going to go away any time soon.

Because it incorporates a set of ideas (or structure of beliefs), anti-Semitism is often called an ideology. And provided we keep this ideology in mind, it is convenient to fall back on a commonly accepted working definition: ‘hostility to Jews as Jews’. This definition, however, turns out to be a recipe for confusion, for today there is a new kind of hostility to Jews as Jews, one that is based on conflict in the Middle East rather than on ancient (or medieval) European ideas about Jews. On the one hand, Israel proclaims itself the state of ‘the Jewish people’. On the other hand, many Jews outside Israel, precisely as Jews, align themselves publicly with Israel. From the combination of these facts there arises, in certain circles that are hostile to Israel or Zionism on moral and political grounds, hostility towards all Jews as Jews. This is an unwarranted generalisation; as such, it is a prejudice. But this prejudice is not rooted in the ideology of ‘the Jew’. It is, therefore, a totally different phenomenon from what hitherto has been called ‘anti-Semitism’.

It's difficult to be against Israel but not against Jews, because just about 99.76% of Jews identify themselves with Israel to some extent. And that can easily backfire in the mind of the person who is opposed to the political entity of Israel, and establish the connection that Jews as Jews support Israel and are thus opposed to him or her.

So? Every group is similar to every other group in some way. Similarity does not imply a link. You would rewrite history so that the Nazis were in fact the same as the Zionists because they have one or two similarities in ideology. Nevermind that, despite your semantics, the Nazis did persecute the Jews and virtually eliminate them from Europe in the 1940s.

What claims of superiority? The claim to be the Chosen People? How is that different from any other religion's claims? How is that different from Christians saying that there is no way to salvation but through Christianity or Muslims saying that Muhammad gave the final, complete and inerrant message from god and therefore Islam is the true religion of God?

What claims of superiority? The claim to be the Chosen People? How is that different from any other religion's claims? How is that different from Christians saying that there is no way to salvation but through Christianity or Muslims saying that Muhammad gave the final, complete and inerrant message from god and therefore Islam is the true religion of God? Will you condem Muslims and Christians too? No. Of course you won't. Your hatred is for the Jews. I consider Christians a Jewish sect. Christians believe that Yeshua is the Jewish messiah (hence christos, which has the same meaning). I also consider Islam a Judeochristian sect. And all worship the same fabricated godhead.

Also what alleged history? Their presence in Israel is well documented. Their being forced out by the Romans is also documented. Their persecution in Europe is a fact of history. What makes you say alleged? What, other than your own bigoted lies and willful ignorance makes you doubt?Show me the documents of Jews existing prior to the Persian era, leading the lives and following the religion the bible claims. You'll find nothing. And Israelites (which is not synonymous for Jews) were not monotheists, so everything the Bible and its followers claim, is false.

Maybe you're not a nazi. You're just as antisemitic. You're a racist. Nobody has any use for racists like you. Hopefully someday your kind will be extinct.

No, I'm trying to understand why so many people who don't like the idea of Israel make comments that really are nothing but thinly veiled anti-semitism. That doesn't have to include you, but it includes plenty of others.

Wasn't it in this thread that Andaras Prime said that every Jew is a legitimate target because he or she supports Israel?

And then there is the question why the "anti-zionist" crowd has such a problem honestly acknowledging it when Jews get killed. The outrage is never as much as it is when a kid gets shot for throwing a stone in the refugee camps, despite the fact that the IDF doesn't go in there to kill people, but missiles are fired into settlements for precisely that purpose. And I suspect that if anyone ever thinks about why they make that differentiation in their heads, they might rationalise it by "well, they support Israel because they're Jewish, so they're not as innocent as the Palestinians".

You seem to equate Nazism, an ideology which sole purpose was to eliminate the Jews (among others), with a nation founded on the principle of self-determination. Sure, they're similar. But you're ignoring, either willfully or otherwise, the reasons and background for each ideology, which are fundamentally opposed though they share similar precepts.You skipped the history lessons? You really think the sole purpose of national socialism was eliminating Jews? You really think that's what they got elected for and that's what they started the war for?
And since when is Judaism a nation? And if you believe Judaism was founded on self-determination, then what about the self-determination of those living in Palestine when the Balfour declaration was made and prior to the subsequent mass immigration of Jews?

You're racist. The Jews of today are descendents of the Israelites. The Israelites began as polytheists most likely, but they became monotheists. Religions and cultures change over time.

The Habiru or Hapiru are thought by many to be the ancient Hebrews. There is quite a bit of evidence to support this. So there are references to the people who will become the Jews before the Persian era.

The professed goal of Nazism was the elimination of the Jewish people, yes. Though they were elected for different reasons, primarily the promise of a better life from the poverty imposed on the German nation after World War I, the main, self-proclaimed goal was as stated above.

Judaism has been a nation for quite some time, actually. The "Nation of Israel" refers to the collective population of all Jewish people around the world, and the nation of Israel (in the MidEast) is the actual realization and physical embodiment of this idea.

Oh yes, and the "Palestinians" you speak of that were living in Israel before the Balfour Declaration were not the same as those that occupy the land today. They were primarily nomadic tribes pushed out of "Israel" by the British for the institution of Israel in British-mandated Palestine. The modern Palestinians have, really, no claim to the land as they are refugees from neighboring countries (and their descendants).

And Jews are not what the latter two "have become". Jews are but a fraction (if at all) of those returning from Mesopotamia in the Persian era, while new people had been settled in Palestine, with whom they subsequently mingled. The further development of Judaism has almost nothing to do with Israelites or even Hebrews. However, Jews claim (through the Bible) that their own lifestyle and religion was that of their supposed ancestors. They projected their own ideology in into the past. Well, Nazis also created an alternative history. Am I wrong? No. And that's why I see both groups as dangerous and unnecessary. Someone who thinks that the Bible is true and its contents is (morally) right is just as bad as someone delighting in the dumb teachings of national socialism.

Biblical Narrative? Bollocks. I barely believe a word of the Bible. No I'm referring to a couple of thousand years of being told that racially we as a people deserve to be ghettoised, marginalised or pogrommed.

Racial identity amongst Jews has developed because of people like yourself. I would probably still define myself as Jewish without modern day anti-semitism but the Jews have gone through so much historically and the diaspora have experienced so much horror that - similar with the heightened Afrocentricity of African-Americans in comparison with say Black-British individuals - it is in solidarity with our own history (which of course doesn't exist right?) that we define ourselves as Jewish.

If it makes you feel better I describe myself as British long before I mention being Jewish. Also most Jews, like you, disagree with my claim to being Jewish and say that living outside the Talmud and the Torah is unJewish...hey you have stuff in common with teh ebil yids!

I know this argument won't wash with you but I don't particularly care: I don't feel the need to justify my own personal definitions to someone who is clearly a racist. You haven't even riled me yet. Fourth Holy Reich would wipe the floor with ya:

Is not setting up a nation based on racial/religious grounds either racist or creedist (or whatever the term for religious prejudice is).

It may not be how they got elected in the first place, but it certainly was how they managed to get enough support to become a political force. And considering how much effort was put into the holocaust, arguing that it wasn't high priority is laughable.
Given that they didn't even decide upon the holocaust until around a decade after they'd come to power, you can hardly say that it was either top priority or the reason they came into being/got elected. The reason it was the "final solution" is that they tried other ones first (mainly involving exile).

Jews against Zionism are against it because they are religious extremists who believe that the Torah states Israel can only be founded by G-d alone. They see the Israeli State as a sin because it was founded by man and not G-d. That is why there are anti-zionist Jews. They are nothing but fanatics who think G-d has to do everything for them.

I'm not calling the majority of the critics on this thread anti-semitic to stifle debate. I'm doing so because of their posts. Just read the fucking thread and tell me that posters like UB, AP, and some others aren't anti-semitic. They are just racists who want the Jews to be killed and defend those who do so.

There is some legitimate criticism of Israel, but it seems like a majority of the posts in this thread are far from legitimate and are based on a hatred of the Jews.

You see, that's the problem. You shouldn't look at it in those terms because it automatically assigns an inappropriate level of guilt. Much rather should you look at how the individuals behave. And I will maintain that marching into a refugee camp, trying to arrest someone or trying to find weapons, and having to somehow make it through a throng of angry youths (some with rifles, some with stones) is not as bad as setting up a rocket and firing it into a settler community.

One may well result in innocents being killed. I condemn that and I don't think the IDF (or any other military for that matter) is doing enough to charge the guilty soldiers with murder, because that's what it is. But the other is a concerted effort to kill people. The purpose of firing missiles is to scare people into leaving by murdering some of them.

I'm afraid that is worse than what the IDF does, and trying to change the lighting by calling one occupied and the other occupying just doesn't do it for me. Even if we wanted to call it an illegal occupation (though it looks like most of Gaza and the West Bank is indeed under Palestinian control, or would be if they stopped shooting each other for a second), there have been plenty of cases of occupied peoples resisting without murdering innocent people on the other side.
