Durban Revisited?

The only thing I can say - not only on these pieces today but in general - is that I am glad I am a subscriber. No other organization says as clearly as Honest Reporting what I feel and think. You do awesome work! Stay strong!

Are all these people ignorant?? Are they so immersed in denial that they refuse to believe recorded history? Are they so deceived as to believe the lies presented to them by professed haters of all things pertaining to civilization?
I don't want to sound judgemental, but, how did such idiotic ignoramuses get to be world leaders? Are we as a people so apathetic that we allow these "leaders" to spout their hatred without holding them accountable? Are we more like them than we care to admit?
Repent!!! The Kingdom of GOD is at hand!!

The lack of reporting on the events leading to the Durban conference, the Durban conference the follow-up to the Durban conference, & the suppression of the al Durah tapes stem from the same intellectual dishonesty among journalists.

Anti American, anti western civilization anti-Semetic/anti-Jew (now fashionably called anti-Zionist) corporate media. This is the same media that ignores attacks against Animists, Buddhists, & Hindus.
Islam lives in peace with no one.

Web publication of biased reporting or anti-semitism is often on sites where, unlike this site, the responses are not well moderated. It is usually possible to post a sane comment to try to mitigate ignorance and hatred. People do seem to read the comments as much as the articles so the effort can be worthwhile.

RE: God's Warriors.
The most egregious comment relative to Christianity stated that when Jesus returns He is going to "kill all his enemies" and then establish His kingdom.
This is more Muslim theology than Christian. The Muslim Christ is supposedly going to kill all the Christians and Jews not the Christ I know.
This is the first time in my life that I have heard such an outrageous charge against Christianity.
Jesus Christ is not going to kill anybody. He will be the judge of all unbelievers who will be sentenced to an eternity in hell where they will be tormented in something akin to fire and brimstone. This is called the second death, but it is NOT A LITERAL DEATH--IT IS A STATE OF BEING SEPARATED FROM GOD.
Christiane Amanpour [?] would benefit from a little better understanding of what Christianity is all about.
In my book she rates an "F".

Hatred comes natural to man, especially when Jews are its target.

I agree with the previous commentator - HonestReporting, you are doing a great job. Keep up the important work.

Looking at the treatment the Jewish state got in Durban I would NOT like to say "I told you so". The old Apartheid government of Southa Africa supported Israel but unfortunately could not count on your support-you actually stabbed us in the back. We now have a country where 25,000 white people have been murdered in the last year but your comment would probably be that we deserve that. We-The Whites-still support Israel even though the ANC Government that you helped install now supports the Palestinians. When you get to Jerusalem again please see if the trees that the White schools donated in 1948 are still growing? We were the two pariahs in the world because we both believed in Homelands for seperate people-now you are on your own-and we have nothing-welcome the real world!

There is a profound sense of depression,like a choking blanket, that seems to go before this endless tide of hatred.

We must not yield to it.

We must stand for truth. Never before has the need to escape from the poison of post modernist ideals been greater.

Those who choose the easy road are leading the world to ruin. Moral relativity is the acid that is burning away the foundation of free will. Our atheistic leaders must wake up to the sword that is hanging over us.
They trust that the power of human reason alone will defeat the 'ignorance'that they believe fosters Islamic extremeism. But they have no concept of the undying malignant hatred that has been calculating, planning and working for the eradication of all non Muslim belief systems for decades.
Only a madman wants war. But as was shown in WWII just being fair and wishing does not stop mad men waging them. Just keep swimming might seem like a safe philosophy but how many have to die before we wake up to the fact that someone has put a shark in the pool?

I totally agree with everything you say on the honest reporting blog. My wife and I lived in Israel and all our predjudices that we almost sub conciously believed in , were rapidly dispelled as we soon realised that years of subversive and dangerous propaganda against Israel is so far removed from reality you almost feel like you are trapped inside some kind of ridiculous bad dream. Trouble is as soon as you leave Israel and travel to just about anywhere else in the world one very quickly realises there is an enormously powerful conspiracy against the very survival of the state of Israel!
The propaganda now spread throughout the whole of the worlds media is now so accepted and incidious that I fear for the future of all our family and friends living in Israel and of course for the land of Israel. This is creating a very tense situation and I know many Israelis who will defend their right to exist to the end.
We are god fearing and we are praying everyday. Miracles can and do happen.
We used to live in Zimbabwe and we left because we could see and feel the destruction of totalitarionism . Democracy is very easily lost and extremely hard to get back . If we lose democracy we loose the freedom to choose our leader or to get rid of him/her.
The leaders who hate Israel the most are all in power through grotesque acts of violence
No wonder they use anti Israel propaganda in their speeches. Anyway I will leave you in peace now. Best regards Mr g. tomlinson

when someone commits a crime the or at least the victim retaliates, and it is justified. But if a Jew or Zionst does even the heneous most crime, that against humanity, and somebody criticises him or her, the critic is called 'anti-semitic'-why?
should the crime not be condemned?
