		<description>Jaime, you crossed the line with this libel and lawyer bullshit. Your pathetic presence will no longer be tolerated on DV. Find some other website to troll and spill your racist bile at.</description>

		<description>Whoops,  Hold the phone....

Anyang South Korea is a little far away to sue somebody for libel. 

But the Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC)  is prepared to wait for  your triumphant return to  Miq'Maq territory.</description>

		<description>Hi Kim,

May I have an address of your attorney, please, or alternately your other particulars to contact for legal service?
 
Those are libelous statements which I'd like to see you defend in court.

You may email that information to jantecol@yahoo.com

Thank you,

Jaime Antecol</description>

		<description>You are so stupid Jaime. Anyone with a pea-sized brain would know that being admired by someone does not imply support for the admirer by the admiree.

Also, anyone that reads the article, instead of relying on your twisted comments, would know that the articles are about supporting freedom of speech;  i.e., the right to say is supported, and this does not in any way imply support for what is being said.

You try the old smear of guilt by association, except I don't associate with supremacists and neo-Nazis and certainly not with most of their views.

You, however, clearly align yourself with the murderers and murder of Palestinians.</description>

		<description>Sterling reputation, indeed.  While it is true that once an article posted, folks can reproduce it indefinitely all over the internet...the interesting part of this, is WHO CHOOSES TO DO SO?

Kim is admired by white supremacists and neo-Nazis. They like what he has to say.  

Neither I, nor the Zionist Occupation Government, or any of our people who planted the explosives in the NYC World Trade Centre Towers, nor any of our hook nosed and hunch backed drainers of Christian and Moslem children's blood to make passover matzohs or any of the well poisoners had anything to do with  Paul Fromm's appreciation of  Kim's accomplishments. ...and Fromm's by no means the only one.

Here, for example, after a quick google search  we see Kim's article reproduced by the IHR, on the reading list of  the Institute for Historical Review, which specializes in Holocaust Denial.

		<description>What a nasty, vengeful individual you are, Jaime, and what a complete and utter fool you are.  

You are, in fact, the perfect zionist troll, incapable of any intellectual contributions to the DV forum, yet taking up space with your unabashed support of Israeli terrorism, your outright lies, your racism, and your sick attempts to discredit other posters and contributing authors.

Anyone with an IQ over 5 is well aware that once an article is published on the Internet, it can be republished on any site, 
oftentimes without the knowledge of, or the consent of, the author. 

Your efforts to smear the sterling reputation of Kim Petersen are, in fact, a common zionist tactic showing the small-mindedness, sub-intellect of the brainwashed.  

All you are achieving by continuing in this vein is allowing DV readers to see you as you really are -- another zionist troll who, if your IQ were two points lower, you'd be a tree.

		<description>I am such a fucking liar.

Let's start with one of Kim's sincere admirers,  the notorious Canadian Paul Fromm Neo-Nazi and white supremacist , who reposts  Kim's work on STORMFRONT with the label:  Leftish Progressive Defends Ernst Zundel. ...no doubt because what Kim has to say suits his agenda as well.  (Let's see how long this stays up on DV in the name of peace and the struggle for social justice)

		<description>Well, well, well!  How telling!  So Jaime does not believe in freedom of speech for all.  He may not believe in freedom of speech for anyone except the zionists he so zealously defends -- including their ongoing terrorism against unarmed civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, and, in reality, around the world.  After all, the Mossad takes its murder on the road.
 
He prefers to pick and choose those of humankind who are allowed to speak, allowed to think, and on what topics.  
 
Well, surprise, surprise!  Intelligent minds, and Kim Petersen is one of those intelligent minds, believe in the right of all individuals to speak.  He believes in the right of all individuals to think.   
 
There has never been any question about Kim Petersen's belief in freedom of speech for everyone, freedom of thought for everyone.  That Jaime is here now attempting to smear Kim Petersen's reputation as a progressive and as an individual is a sick indication of one twisted mindset. 
 
Frankly, it's way past time, I would suggest to the editors of DV, that Jaime and his  lying diversionary tactics were banned from the comment section of their newsletter.  He has, since the beginning, brought nothing of value to any debate.  All he's done is outright lie, accuse, smear other posters  who are attempting to have a meaningful discussion, and to demean and belittle DV's contributing writers.  He has zero credibility, he gleefully cheers on Israeli atrocities, and his flippant nothing comments are becoming more and more tiresome.  
 
I don't know how other posters here feel about this, but I've quite frankly had enough.</description>

		<description>Jaime you are such a fucking liar.

Anyone can go to the articles that I have written that touch on Ernst Zündel and see that I am no “sincere fan” of this man, as Jaime insinuates. I am thoroughly opposed to much of what Zündel stands for, as the following demonstrates:

“Zündel is not a sympathetic figure. He is an unabashed admirer of the Austrian-born and raised Hitler, who he lauds as ‘Germany’s greatest son.’ It is unsure how this squares with his pacifist declaration. In the vein of Hitler, Zündel is also vehemently anti-Marxist. Marxism, according to Zündel, is a ‘psychopathic ideology.’ In addition, he adheres to a doctrine of white racial purity.”
http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Mar05/Petersen0305.htm

And, as Radio Islam made clear: “We agree with Kim Petersen's article (below) - that Ernst Zundel's case is an issue of free speech, pure and simple.”

I concur very much with Noam Chomsky: “[I]t has been a truism for years, indeed centuries, that it is precisely in the case of horrendous ideas that the right of free expression must be most vigorously defended.”  

But free speech does NOT mean freedom to lie. I await your apology Jaime.</description>

		<description>Thank you Gilad, for expressing my thoughts to the max.  One need look no further than the comments placed hitherto in defense of the present holocaust by Israel and the complete and total absence of a single criticism ... as if to imply by inference that Jews are in fact a superior mistakeless breed.  Fanaticism trumps reason 365 days a year. All their babblings are not only predictable, but unoriginal.</description>

		<description>In a further blow to his rapidly dwindling credibility, Jaime quotes the fascist racist, Moshe Feiglin, recently banned from entering the UK. 

(see:  http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/11/africa/ME-GEN-Israel-British-Ban.php

The foolish notion that the terrorist state of Israel is a "democracy" continues to be pushed forward as if, like so many other aspects of this place, it were true is laughable.  There is nothing democratic about Israel.  Perhaps Jaime could read Chapter 8 of Michel Warschawski's book, "Toward an Open Tomb:  The Crisis of Israeli Society", Review Press, 2004), wherein  he writes (in part):  

    "Democracy for Israelis has always been restricted to two things: predominance of the majority over the minority by means of elections and the acts of the executive branch being based on laws adopted by a parliamentary majority (AIC Special Reports, winter 1986). This is obviously a rather meager conception of democracy, which completely neglects the concept of rights".

see:    
http://www.alternatives.ca/article1750.html

Prattling about a non-existant democracy has been another of the myths nutured and circulated with respect to Israel, which is, after all nothing more than a "safe haven for sadistic war criminals" as Ran HaCohen so descriptively wrote in "Say No To A Palestinian State" (13 November 2000):

       "Politically, living here calls to mind the first years of the Third Reich. Day after day you witness a society rapidly losing its human face. The safe haven for persecuted Jews has turned into a safe haven for sadistic war criminals, where nobody’s life, be he Arab or Jew, is secure."

<p>    &#8220;Democracy for Israelis has always been restricted to two things: predominance of the majority over the minority by means of elections and the acts of the executive branch being based on laws adopted by a parliamentary majority (AIC Special Reports, winter 1986). This is obviously a rather meager conception of democracy, which completely neglects the concept of rights&#8221;.</p>
<p>see:<br />
<a href="http://www.alternatives.ca/article1750.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alternatives.ca/article1750.html</a></p>
<p>Prattling about a non-existant democracy has been another of the myths nutured and circulated with respect to Israel, which is, after all nothing more than a &#8220;safe haven for sadistic war criminals&#8221; as Ran HaCohen so descriptively wrote in &#8220;Say No To A Palestinian State&#8221; (13 November 2000):</p>
<p>       &#8220;Politically, living here calls to mind the first years of the Third Reich. Day after day you witness a society rapidly losing its human face. The safe haven for persecuted Jews has turned into a safe haven for sadistic war criminals, where nobody’s life, be he Arab or Jew, is secure.&#8221; </p>

		<description>Jaime,

Your comment is completely reprehensible and totally unacceptable. The blatantly racist quotation of Feiglin stands completely counter to any notion of social justice, and it exposes your animus. Furthermore, by attempting to legitimize anti-Arabism, you, perversely, provide ammunition for, the equally reprehensible, anti-Jewishness. 

There are plenty of folks out there who oppose, and will always oppose, racism in whatever forms it comes. Get used to that. 

Lastly, it is completely reprehensible and totally unacceptable that you insinuate that people who are opposed to the racist, murderous actions and policies of Zionists thereby favor a blood spilling of the Other. 

In normal discourse, one would respond to the issues first raised before expecting a response to a secondary question. Obviously, you are too insufficiently informed and/or intellectually challenged by the points and facts raised by other commenters that your only weak response is to maliciously attribute malevolent intent to others, without an iota of evidence -- all this while you stand nakedly exposed by your own, what cannot be understood as other than, racist comments. 

For that reason, in this instance, your unacceptable comment can stand.</description>

		<description>Like Moshe Feiglin said: 

"You can't expect to teach a monkey to talk, and you can't expect the Arabs to understand or participate meaningfully in democracy."

Israel is going to be here for a very very long time. Get used to it. 

Angie's been confronted several times, asked in simple language if she preferred a settlement in blood or on peaceful terms between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East. 

Israel is not an apartheid state. But it is surrounded by states that are. 

She has never chosen peace.

So she has nothing to moralize to us about.</description>

		<description>Israel's regime will fall down. This is not in my hand or others, it will fall on its own sword. First the US has been milked by Israel enough and there is no free money left to be given to Israel as an unconditional aide. Second the fabric of society under Israel Zionism has been rotten to the core, there is no socialistic aspirations between Israelis, there is no motivation to defend this fascistic killing machine anymore. The Holocaust industry is reaching a drought, Jews are refusing to be exploited for being victim of Holocaust. 

Jamie with his predictable fascistic views does not understand when the Israeli regime crumbles all these tough talk zionists will leave the country with fake IDs and there will be no one to stay and defend this apartheid state so noone will be killed. All the children in Zionist Yashiva (equal to fundamentalist Islamic Madrases) will be send to cognitive rehabilitation to reverse the brainwash and that would not be a difficult thing.</description>

		<description>Come, come, Jaime!  You don't ask a fellow poster questions of this nature.  You go straight to the experts.  

For instance, who knows more about killing children than the terrorists of the IDF?  In the time frame of September 2000 to February 1, 2008, these murderers have taken the lives of 982 Palestinian children ages infants to teenagers.  These children have been killed in their homes, en route to school, in the school, itself, at play, everywhere.  982 Palestinian children and counting. 

http://www.rememberthesechildren.org/remember2000.html

Why just a week ago more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them civilians and dozens of them children, were removed from Mother Earth by Israeli terrorists.  And there you were, Jaime, gleefully posting prophecies of a greater devastation to befall  the Palestinian people.   It takes a great amount of expertise to murder 982 children (and counting) and not be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to life.

Old people?  Again, I direct you to the killing capacity of the IDF.  You should ask them, not Harmoon, about the occasions when they bulldozed Palestinian homes with the homeowner inside, sometimes unable to escape because of physical disabilities or confinement to a wheelchair.  Or perhaps you'd be interested in how the IDF trundled over a wheelchair-bound Palestinian in Jenin in one of their monster tanks in the 2002 massacre, and I'm sure you've applauded their killing of mentally-challenged Palestinians, in one case just because "he looked at me". 

Killings of innocents studying in a seminary?  How about killing of innocents at prayer? Does one mass murderer, Baruch Goldstein, mean anything to you, Jaime?  The terrorist who, alone or with others, massacred 30 or more Palestinians at prayer in the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron in February 1994 and wounded 150 others? 

Remember how a certain segment of the Israeli public carried out pilgrimages to his grave site, which was turned into a shrine, erected statues in his memory and so on?  How he was dismissed as being "mad"?  I suggest that you check with the fanatic illegal squatters, otherwise foolishly known as 'settlers' if you want info with respect to killing people at prayer.

Targeting hospitals, you say?  Why, Jaime, no one knows more about targeting hospitals than the IDF.  Look at how successful they've been in Lebanon, deliberately targeting not just hospitals, but orphanages, schools, apartment buildings, yes, and UN outposts.  Have you forgotten how IDF killers have forced their way into hospitals in the West Bank and Gaza, dragging critically ill patients out of ICU?  Or denying the acquisition of medical supplies, detaining ambulances, allowing the desperately ill and/or wounded to suffer slow and agnozing deaths?  

Pay close attention, Jaime.  You will not come to this forum and toss about your accusations, falsehoods, and asinine attempts to maximize the victim persona so prevalent with Israelis and their supporters and expect your disinformation to stand unchallenged.  Others may prefer to ignore you in the hopes that you will take your sick, twisted mindset elsewhere.  I care too much about the truth to do that.</description>

		<description>"The only solution is to annihilate Israel as it is, have Jews against Zionism as front runners of this movement "

Sounds like Harmoon has some acceptable and practical ideas for this forum.

So Harmoon, who you kill first? The children, like the ones who were studying in that seminary, or old people. Maybe the hospitals where sick people are would be a good first target.

Let's hear more of who you would kill, and how.</description>

Zionist crime is to exist as much that Nazi crime was to exist. What right to exist has a supremacist ideology?

		<description>The only solution is to annihilate Israel as it is, have Jews against Zionism as front runners of this movement and let the Palestinians, Jews, Christians inhabiting the area as well as Diaspora Palestinians decide their fate and set a constitution for the new country. 

Currently Israel does not have legitimate identity, is an apartheid state without constitution and run by Zionists who just claim to be looking after the interest of Jews. Zionism is another form of corporation its capital to be industrialized Holocaust. That is why the Zionists so heavily defend the monopoly of suffering in Holocaust; it is their capital and they have to defend it. 

In reality accumulation of one ethnic and religious group in one place (i.e. occupied Palestine) with ideas of supremacy is dangerous to the world and assured demise of that group. I am surprised the Israeli apologists are not capable to see with their defense of Zionism how anti Jew they are.</description>

		<description>And they are "existing" quite well, aren't they, Jaime?  Millions of them. 

They have their own homes, towns, villages, schools, libraries, offices, factories, farms, hospitals and all else besides in Israel.  They are nicely supported by US billions yearly not to mention the occasional influx of cash from other nations.  They have the most sophisticated weaponry, perhaps, in the world, their own roads in someone else's homeland, their racist marriage laws, their  Supreme Court-sanctioned torture laws.

Their terrorists, masquadering as an army, are free to go out and about in Gaza and the West Bank killing unarmed Palestinians with complete impunity, taking their homes and land, destroying their schools, hospitals, power plants, the basic infrastructure.  No arrests, charges, trial for these murderers.  

They have the best propaganda machine in the world and are not afraid to use it, cashing in on the holocaust when necessary, to fool the masses.

They have their racist network, world wide, that ensures no one can openly criticize the Zoinist entity they call Israel without repercussion.  They lie with impunity even when caught red handed.

Yep!  I would certainly say that they are "existing" all right.  

And like those whom he supports, Jaime is unable to speak the truth or separate fact from fiction.</description>
