Your site is stupid, you act like a stupid American, and it would be my pleasure to end your site and your wife's life with a rocket propelled grenade. How ignorant, you think America is the world? America will see itself bombed and its soldiers families raped on the docks that they return upon. Sincerely, An Iranian Dual National who loves how ignorant your ideasb are. Go back to your trailer park or die in Jihad.

ps, learn how to use the internet.

Brian's a great guy with a great blog. He has reported the death threat to the FBI. Anyone with the technical skills to help him out should please try to help.

About the others, I think it was as an ignorant as this Brian who wrote these things. Everyone could tell the truth about the imperialistic, violent and unutil "state" of Israel without using these stupid words. The dialogue, the peace and the truth is wath we need- not violence again! My opinion is that jewish are allowed to move to Palestine, but not to kill or repress other people. Palestinians and so called "israeli" people should live togheter but no one can expropriate the land of another people.

Always against any violence: Harriet.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
