Why is this news ?!?

It's just hate, and US support.
Of course, the US administration is like 50%+ jewish... so why not ! Who convinced Bush to go to war with Iraq ? Paul Wolfowich, the Udersecratary of Defense ! So now what happens ? Arabs hate US more, so they bomb US more, so US says: "Oh, terrorism, we must protect oursleves and whoever is being terrorised" so they protect Israel more so Arabs hate the US more...

And all these Americans who are like: "I am a US Marine !!!! I serve my country" while all these (very) succesful, intellectual Jews are running it ! No wonder the US is protecting them !! Of course, that's kept very hush hush. You're being used people ! They are using your (very) powerful military for there own means !

Why do you think everyone thought TWA 800 got shot down by a missile ? Because the Mossad (Israeli CIA)
"leaked" some document to the FBI. So all these poor agents are working to find something that just wasn't there. There are many other examples.

And then americans wonder why 9/11 happened.

"fukem all to h*** those b*******" That's exactly the attitude they want you guys to have!

I would appreciate comments or flames or whatever. my 2 cents.

The sooner the miserable little country of Israel is pushed into the sea the better.

i also think that the day (that will never come) that the US stops supporting Israel, Americans will no longer be attacked and Israel will be in a big lump of sh*t.

I just can't see Ari Fleischer, US Press Secretary, saying that his government has stopped supporting his own country. my 2 cents.

The Warsaw Gheto = The Occupied Teritories.

Same thing, except the time span of genocide is longer - does it make it any better?

Notice the pro-Israeli comments above all attack the person that posted rather than the message posted. A sure sign that they know they are wrong!

I want to point out that the Israeli economy is in shambles as a result of the middle east crisis, and many Israelis do not support the Sharon government, just as many Americans do not support the Bush government. To insist that nothing in your computer is Israeli hurts everyday people like you or me, who are just struggling to survive amid an unstable world.

The Arab countries have a long history of an Israeli boycott that dates to the founding of Israel. Subaru used to be the only Japanese car available to Israelis during the height of this boycott. All the other manufacturers were afraid that the Arab countries would not buy their cars if they sold to Israel. After a while, it turned out that Subaru was right in that such a boycott wouldn't work if companies ignored it. So now all the Japanese brands are available in Israel.

There is awful, senseless killing on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The irony of this is that before the situation got so troubled 2 and a half years ago, many of those Israeli batteries were produced with help from Palestinian workers, boosting the Israeli and Palestinian economies.

It is time for the economies of the middle east--Arab and Israeli--to stop propagating anger and hatred. Perhaps recognizing each other's economically similar needs can be a step in the direction of a peaceful region with the benefit of intertwined economy and culture based on peaceful and beneficial stability. This will happen eventually, but it will happen sooner if the finger pointing and extreme reactions, whether military, terrorist, or economic in nature, give way to more sensible solutions to the crisis.

Shame on MacNN for posting this article, since it is purely anti-semetic hate, and has very little to do with legitimate Apple news. This article is equivalent to a white person saying he doesn't want an Apple computer because it was built by a black man.

Pathetic. This makes me think twice about choosing MacNN as a news source.

Re pushing that little country into the sea - almost laughable really, Israel is currently by far the mid-east military & economic powerhouse. Those israelis can clean the clocks of two or three of those arab states at the same time.

these comments about ari the press secretary etc, it's just stupidity, he doesn't decide american policy and neither do you, thnk g-d for that. Why are you knocking him because he's jewish!? Sheer stupidity. The notion that america fights wars for israel is almost as stupid - clearly some people have their heads in the sand, USA just hit with worst attack ever, 3000 dead innocent people, some biggots can't swallow their hatred and still blaming jews when our way of life is what was attacked, our success, VS the failures of Arabic Islam.

Statements like america run by jews make me laugh - jews make up less than 1% of america's population, sheer stupidity, stop blaming other peoples for you lot in life, its sad really.

I can't believe that antisemitism has reached so far as to contaminate a mac news service!!!

All those writing about Israel vanishing from the face of the earth should be more aware that Israeli technology is present everywhere and that their lives are influenced directly.

So, if you're going to boycott Israel, why don't you stop using ICQ, which was invented by an Israeli company (Mirabilis) and did revolutionize the IM market?
Or stop using Apple laptops that have various Israeli made components?

If you don't have a sustainable clim to why you must hate Israel you should just shut your pie hole!!!

I really hope that all of you who are anti-semitic will never find yourselves blown up outside a coffee shop just because of what you believe.

who I'm adressing my messages to.
Not to Jews or Israelis. But to other Americans.

I'm trying to make Americans understand the Bigger Picture, or at least mine. Don't think I'm insulting Jews or some other BS like that.

Jews make 1% of the American population:
Maybe so, but a very large portion is very succesful and holds very high positions, as i said in my comments.
All the Jewish people that i know (or their parents) have very good positions: doctors, lawyers, buisnessmen etc. All of them. Then you have others whose only dream is to become a Marine after they graduate from your High Schools.
This is why Israel is well off, compared to the other Middle Eastern countries.

America is also well off compared to the rest of the world. This brings jealousy, among many other feelings.

Now, the US military is able to conventionaly attack any state, right ? All these Arab countries are not... the proof of which came a week ago, when the US was able to crush Sadaam even after having LARGLY underestimated the abilities of Baath loyalists.

All these countries want to crush the US, like Iran, but they can't. So what do they do, they send in a few fanatical zealots to do the job, and the US calls that terrorism ! And that's wrong, because they only make the US fight back more.

Then you've got Isreali(-made, by the way) gunships and tanks coming into Palestinian cities and shooting and killing 3 Hezbollah people, but also managing to kill 20 kids in the meantime. Do you remember the footage of the kid and the father "caught in the crossfire" ? I think that's wrong of Israel, and there not helping there cause. Poor palestinians throwing rocks.

And you know who else is in a sad situation, the Senator who said: "The Jewish people have enough influence to stop this war and i think they should" then he (of course) lost his position as Senate leader or something. Poor dumbass. Basically wer have the same view, but i'm not a senator.

Then you have US policy. Iraq, IMHO, would have been the right thing to do with UN approval. But helping "other states victims of terrorism" is not in their best interests.

And Ari Fleischer, ok, cheap shot maybe, but Wolfowish sure isn't. He sure helps to decide what happens. And if he can convince Bush, well good for him !

And that's where your war comes from. And it won't stop, just like Wosley says.

good for you people.

why is it all pro-israeli's immediately shriek 'anti-semite!' when the merest hint of criticism concerning israel is uttered?

right on

that the French ambassador to London recently referred to Israel in the national press as 'that S***** little country'. Another reason to be grateful for our French cousins.

Sharon is a butcher with the blood of innocent Palestinians on his hands. May he burn in h*** for his crimes.

It seems like some of you readers take seriously this
garbage carried by that publication. Residents of
Bahrain would do well to realize their own state of
affairs -- not high on the human rights scale, during
the 90's the oppression has been pretty severe (the
Sunni over the Shi'a, military-political oppression,
etc. etc.) It's just a creeping progression of the
poisonous hatred that gets their leaders and Europe
and some of the West to turn a blind eye toward their
true situations and redirect everything to the place
where they want you to hate -- against the distorted
picture constructed by their political machine in
the West Bank.

Apple doesn't have quite enough guts
to try and set the record straight ... they'll cower
to the creeps. These jerks should thank Israel many
times over for their technological and industrial
generosity, not to mention disproportionately great
humanitarian and other contributions to even their
hateful neighbors. (By the way, find out who is
responsible for administrating human services in the
West Bank and Gaza and you might learn something)

Duped friends in Europe and North America who are a
convenience for the Arab League Nations, continuing to
pick on Israel, the western audience has no clue that
the people are better off than in most of those nations
under dictatorships, and those under Mullah rule.
Picking apart your equipment and passing judgement on
its manufacturers is just stupid ... just hate-
mongering. You want your neighbors to buy any of
your products? Or to treat you when you need expert,
modern medical care? US manufacturers operate without
political discrimination, within US and international
trade regulations. Jerks who can't stand this are
welcome to build their own systems.

MSNBC, the NY Mets and Caterpillar were all fined tens of thousands of dollars for doing buisness with Cuba. Texaco was fined for doing buisness with Iraq.

1. Why are you so suprised this is happening ?
2. Even if it's happening, wtf is MacNN doing reporting it ??????

If all you monotheistic GOD lovers would just shut your traps... it's organized religion and faith in false gods, not ethnicity, that's the problem. Strange how the multitude of various nature-loving Pagans (read that, Pagan, not Satan), seem to get along in the modern world -- perhaps we know that the world is far more than your little minds can bear, yet just as glorious as any of our imaginative scriptures descibe. Ah well what?s the point? stupid people should discover their fate at the end of this life -- you'll be back to get it right the next time. All that said, I can hardly see how a few Israeli parts in what is probably mostly a Korean or American-built computer is a big deal. I mean, it?s not like it?s a giant sign that says Made in Israel, it?s a widdle, iddy bitty part. Oh, and it's hardly anti-Semitic to discuss how ugly Israel's current regime is -- everyone, even Jews, are open to legitimate criticism. It's an ugly world when you only believe in ONE.

All these anti-semites who spout fictions such as the Jews running the government, dictating to Bush to attack Saddam or about the terroritories being similar to the Wasaw Ghetto makes me quite sad. They are merely stating absolutely falsehoods which have been time and time again refuted, but that won't spot them from their propaganda.

I hope we don't stop at Baghdad. I hope they choke on the stupid batteries.

I hope a few Israeli jobs are "caught in the crossfire" (the way Palestinian kids are when the New York Times reports an Apache helicopter attack or cruise missile strike)

RE: Caught in the crossfire-

Hmmm... 13 muslim countries (some the size texas) all trying to massacre a country the size of rhode island.. and how dare those damn Isrealites fight back. maybe they should just roll over and play dead, or all convert to islam. And YOU are an American?? Seeing as this country was founded on the PURE basis of religous freedom, to avoid being killed, because our forefathers beleived in something different, I would think you might have some respect for people with independant thought and beliefs. Especially a country as underdogged as Israel.

But, to anyone who is their own person, I present you the herd mentality in action.

I'm sure chilling at home on your dsl lines, being so withdrawn from reality, you wouldn't realize that any sign of weakness to a predator is an invitation to strike.

Here are a couple of points I want to make:
1.) God will destroy Islam and with it all who
do not turn away from it.
2.) Islam cannot survive because, like all pagan
religions, has Satanism as its basis. If they
could, muslims would destroy all human beings
on the face of the earth including themselves.
3.) Arabs will be defeated. Their judgment is
near. Millions will die. Although this
is very sad, this judgement is well earned.
4.) Even though Arab nations are willing to
sacrifice nearly 70% of their total general
populations, they can never defeat Israel.
Further, the future of Israel does not depend
on the US support.
5.) The peril that the Palestinians are facing
is a payment for thousands of years of rebellion
against God. It seems that nothing can be done
for them. When their judgement finally
arrives, it will amount to a complete genocide.
This is also very sad. If you have a problem
with this, your problem is with God. You will
likely, lest your turn away from your ways,
be judged yourselves.

I do not agree with all of Israel's policies. Israel has made many mistakes in dealing with the Palestinian issue. I do believe that Israel has a right to defend itself. Palestinians do not attack the Israeli Army they attack civilians. People who are shopping in open air malls with their families on the weekend. Please remember that part of the PLO's charter is to destroy the state of Israel. I still can not erase the images of Palestinians celebrating 9/11. Where have all of the Arab countries been when the Palestinians needed assistance? Oh I forgot Sadam was giving the families of suicide bombers 20 grand. Using a mac article to spew anti-Semitic remarks is pathetic. Save those for your skin head buddies.

re arabs and palestines !!:

Who are we to decide who is worthy of love or of forgiveness.. jews or gentiles all have sinned and are guilty. stupid remarks like that are the reason behind the typical Christian typecast. Holier than thou bs.

the Christian message isn't about judgement it's about love, judgement belongs to Christ alone. i.e. our purpose is to focus on enriching the lives of those around us. (the salt of the earth) not to spew judgement and condemnation. Who are you to say one man is undeserving of the same love and forgiveness that you depend on for salvation?

represent in positive light

Actually,

These are not my opinions. Rather, these are facts
available to anyone studying the word of God.
For example, the judgment of Palestinians is
described in the book of Obadiah.

People who believe that God is all love are
dellusional. Please allow me to remind you
that God's wrath is beyond that of all others.

You may wish to recall:
"The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom."

Here is something from

Isaiah 63


God's Day of Vengeance and Redemption

1 Who is this coming from Edom,
from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?
Who is this, robed in splendor,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?

"It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save."

2 Why are your garments red,
like those of one treading the winepress?

3 "I have trodden the winepress alone;
from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled them in my anger
and trod them down in my wrath;
their blood spattered my garments,
and I stained all my clothing.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and the year of my redemption has come.
5 I looked, but there was no one to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm worked salvation for me,
and my own wrath sustained me.
6 I trampled the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground."

gives me a stiffy

I'm an atheist and I reckon you're all nuts. Especially that post above this one ^^^^ .......

Sadly, when the phrase "My Fellow Americans" is uttered, it includes the 40% who support Bush in everything he and his bosses (Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz) do. Reading through these posts, it is clear that this group is not the best and certainly not the brightest. Their limited ability to understand even the most basic tenents of foriegn policy are as easily exposed as their ability to grasp proper use of the English language. The sad part is, I have actually take time out of a ridiculously busy life to try and reason with these people - a feat that I can now see holds no chance of accomplishment. Regardless of who the Democratic challenger is, we must vote him or her into office. That is, if they even hold another presidential election - the way things are going with the Patriot Acts, it's entirely possible that there will be legislation enacted "postponing" the presidential election while there is a "war" on...

As a Mac user, I really hope that Bahrain change their foolish anti-semitic attitude regarding this issue, otherwise I hope that the Bahrainians get stucked with Windows.

Don't sell Macintosh to stupid people! Don't sell Macintosh to Arabian dictatorships that are spokesmen for hatred and anti-semitic racism. Boycott Bahrain until they repent from their stupid and foolish ideas!

you people are fucked up.

"Shame on MacNN for posting this article, since it is purely anti-semetic hate, and has very little to do with legitimate Apple news. This article is equivalent to a white person saying he doesn't want an Apple computer because it was built by a black man."

This makes no sense. This is like saying that a newspaper that reported a lynching was in league with the KKK. Just becasue MacNN reports anti-israeli sentiment doesn't make the article, or the website anti-semitic.

And by the way, anti-Israel != anti-semetic. Two related, but different things.

The palestinian-israelly conflict is much more complex
than you people will like to belive.

About 70+ years ago all of what is now called
israel was where palestinians used to lives along side
a jewish minority. At the time there where several
massacres commited by both arabs and jews because
of the zionist aspiration of some of the jews.

Almost all of the jews that are now part of israel
did not live there but instead migrated from europe and
russia. Most of the jews in the arab contries either
stayed in there or moved to morroco (a small number
moved to israel).

The land that is know called israel was where
half of the palestinian population lived uptil 1948
What happened in 1948 was that israel made refugees
of half the palestinian population (0.75 Million at
the time). Some of the refugees where forced out of
there homes and land others fled before they faced
the israely army.

Since then the palestinians have been fighting for
what was a 2 generations ago was still there home
albietly ocupied by the british.

I don't support the palestinian violence against
israely civilians or think that the jews of israel
should be thrown in the see. But Israellies and the
rest of the world must understand that the arabs
and the palestinians did not steel land from the
jews but the jews stole the land from the arabs.

The main problem with the peace negotiations between
the palestinians and the israelies is that only the
israelies have something that the other party should
rightfully have. Isreal has no legitimate claim on any
of the land that is currently not under its control
but palestinians do.

The lack of the palestinians tool for bargening has
turned them to using violence. Land for peace is
really just stoping violence for peace.

I really could go on here forever and I havent said
everything I wanted to yet.

any comments email them to me at hshafez@hotmail.com

How in THE h*** did this forum turn into a religious debate? The person who made the first comment about not buying anything from Isreal and that we should boycotte them is absolutely wrong. This person should read all the different sources and SEE what is really happening. And for the rest of you, come on! This is a Mac forum. Keep you're religious, political and whatever else out of this forum and keep it civil. And for the Pagan, don't fool yourself, pagans are just as bad with their prejudices, as you have demonstrated in this forum. Now, can we get back to discussing Macs and Apples.

Pagans have one major rule which comes down to 'live and let live'. This goes for all pagans. This makes them very vulnourable and strong at the same time. The biggest genocides were those killing the pagans for the love of GOD (the one). If no religion would make people to discriminate, hate and even kill persons who have another believe, there wouldn't have been so much war! Pagans believe they're bond to the universe, the earth and every living or non-living element. Therefore they can't be eliminated as long as the univers exists.
Jhor

I seem to recall reading in many history books and several college papers of Pagan rituals sacraficing non-believers. Or waging war on others. Don't try to clean the pagan religion up. Anything that mankind is associated with will always get corrupt. And Women are no exception. NOW, can we talk about Macintosh and get off of this personal belief stuff.

Thanks
