Former television star Roseanne Barr labelled Israel a "Nazi state" in her blog. In a post on her personal blog, which appears at her Web site Roseanne World (http://www.roseanneworld.com/blog) the comedienne, who is Jewish, wrote on December 30 that she had planned to travel with pro-Palestinian activists on a protest boat sailing from Cyprus to Gaza. The boat was turned back and sailed into a Lebanese port on Tuesday. She described the event in her website as:

"i told my friend don't go! I said Israel will attack any boat carrying doctors and medical supplies - they have turned away the red cross already and all medical and food assistance. Israel is a NAZI state. The Jewish Soul is being tortured in Israel. The destruction of the jews in Israel has been assured with this inhuman attack on civilians in gaza. Hamas is the street gangs---this is equivilent to los angeles attacking and launching war on the people of watts to attempt to kill the bloods and the crips."

Sir/Madam,

My comment is this. Why would you quote someone like Roseanne Barr? She is the most unreliable source for any inteligent comment. She makes her living saying anything that gets attention, mostly things that are known to be radical and draw attention. She is what we call "white trash" in America. She got her start as a standup comediane talking dirty with the most filth coming out of her mouth than anyone else. She will say anything that is controversial about any subject to get attention. Your paper is losing a lot of respect by quoting anything she says. That is like getting your news from the National Inquirer in the US. You need to do a better job of considering your sources.

Thank you,

peacemaker
