Marilyn your so appropriately named. The Arch of Titus in Rome, you've probably never heard of the place, but why should a flat backer know of such things? Herod never existed, the Romans never occupied Middle Eastern countries, Cleopatra she's just a myth of Hollywood. Girl stop sniffing coke wake up and smell the roses

Moshe, you are one sick pup. There was no such place as Israel until the illegal partition in 1948.]

And Jason, it is Israel that should get over it, they are aggressive barbarians.

" She is a typical, radical Zionist who believes that “terrorists” should be killed by the Jewish state. "

Arabs that refuse to recognize the Jewish Right to Self Determination, and seek, plan, and attack Jews living within the borders of their own country, this behavior meets the definition "terrorist". A chief function of the State centers around the obligation of protecting its citizens. But to Antony that's a radical idea! In all honesty somebody is really nuts around here and I don't think its Ms Ragen. So by a process of elemination tell me, who do you think is a kook?

" She, and others like her, are unwilling to work for peace "

This statement is rich. What does it mean, "work for peace"? An Arab woman blows herself up in a hotel on Passover, wiping out entire families. There crime: being Jewish and keeping the Passover. The Israeli government responds by building a fence/wall that has dramatically reduced this type of terrorism. The World Court condemns the Israeli response to terror and supports the Arab charges calling it a land grab.

Israel forcibly uproots over 5000 settlers from Gaza, a festering wound to this very day and remains unresolved! Terrorists in Gaza respond by firing 1000s of missiles into Israel. Israel responds by closing the borders to Gaza. The UN condemns Israel for its harsh response.

First and foremost, the UN is NOT a independent nation. Why is it included in the quartet? The Arab/Israeli conflict could resolve itself far easier if uninvolved nations and busy body idiots did not feel that only they possess the wisdom to solve other peoples problems … butt out.

You'd be entitled to respect people like Jason if they could mount a decent argument, but unfortunately they're limited to offensive remarks that speak volumes about their own bias. What a time waster.

"Palestine (which was only a rinky-dink town when Israel came about) has been gone longer than most ‘Palestinians’ have been alive. I’m sure only a handful remember ‘Palestine’."

they remember Palestine in the same way that Jewish people remember Eretz Yisrael … but clearer because in living memory – not 3000 years ago.

also, could say to jewish people: "I’m sure only a handful remember ‘Holocaust'" because roughly the same time past. yes, true, but doesnt mean jewish decendants should forget holocaust. same for palestinians about the land where their families lived called "palestine" by everyone at that time.

Why the heck are they still calling these folks Palestinians?

Palestine (which was only a rinky-dink town when Israel came about) has been gone longer than most 'Palestinians' have been alive. I'm sure only a handful remember 'Palestine'.

They are and should be called, Westbankonians, since the new name of their country is called 'West Bank'. This is no difference from other countries that have changed their names like many African countries, the former Yugoslavia, et al.

Why is it that this Palestinian-Israeli 'conflict' is always in the American news?
Palestine is dead – get over it!

" She is a typical, radical Zionist who believes that “terrorists” should be killed by the Jewish state. “We need to kill these people "

These words of slander qualify as slander because the writer makes charges without bringing any proof. Such a statement only proves that the author has no merit. The spies that Moshe sent to examine the Land, they too employed slander and destroyed an entire generation in the process! I do not respect the stink of a fart and call it a vintage wine.

Yeah, kill all the terrorists! The other side, those who drop cluster bombs on civilians – we're with them. The SMH article started off trying to give the impression that Ragen was not the typical rabid Zionist, so I read on thinking, "oh, this could be refreshing…" I was quickly disappointed. Expect to read more of Ragen's rhetoric in your Sydney Morning Herald, perhaps Rachael Cohn will find room for her on ABC Radio National's "The Spirit of Things", etc, etc.
