The user Paul_Hackett came to our attention only recently in the latest Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh threads, but apparently he has been around the Huffington Post for quite a while, since March 2009. His behavior in the past couple days, however, definitely made it clearly that he has a history of borderline anti-Semitic comments.
Most of his comments simply involve preaching the Palestinian psuedo-history in which the "Zionists" were responsible for everything that went wrong in the conflict. To hear it from him, Israel is the worst nation on the face of earth, and what they do to the Palestinians and their own people is the most terrible atrocity since Hitler. Basically, he slanders Israel with a completely distorted version of reality. The most notable example of this is when he claimed that Israel killed thirteen hundred civilians during Cast Lead when not even the PCHR would go that far. And of course, he berates and insults anyone who has the temerity to disagree with him about anything.
In going through his comments, he hits many of the anti-Semitic talking points that we have seen elsewhere. Joe Lieberman and Rahm Emanuel are labeled as "Zionists" and their loyalties are questioned. The idea of Israel having a right to exist is laughed at. American Jews are "hypocrites" for daring to support Israel and being upset at the Holocaust museum shooter at the same time. AIPAC is the only reason why anyone in Congress is pro-Israel, and so forth. Take a look at the link below to see the comments for yourself, these are just the worst ones. Since Paul_Hackett repeats himself a lot, many of the posts below were written more than once.

UK Expels Israeli Diplomat Over Dubai Murder Case
“Your post is such a tissue of falshoods and fantasy that it would be tedious to refute them. One thing though - where was it "proven" that the man killed in Dubai was a "proven" terrorist? I must have missed the court case.

Clinton, Netanyahu Continue Clashing Over Jerusalem Construction
“A huge number of AIPAC's members hold dual Israeli-American citizenship and all American Jews have the right to make "Aliyah" and move to Israel at any time. The mission of AIPAC is 100% towards projecting ISRAEL'S interests into the US Congress and nobody who was speaking honestly on any side of this issue would deny that.”
Clinton, Netanyahu Continue Clashing Over Jerusalem Construction
“Name another country that was created in the modern post world war II ear by land theft and ethnic cleansing. On top of that the Israelis have continued to brutalize the Palestinians on an ongoing basis. They have a lot of making up to do - they owe the Palestinians huge financial compensation to begin with, they also need to remove all the settlements in the West Bank and retreat back to their pre-1968 borders. At the very least” [Posted twice]
Clinton, Netanyahu Continue Clashing Over Jerusalem Construction
“Our one-sided support for Israel's ongoing brutalization of the Paslestinians has done nothing but make us enemies around the world. So how does that make them a useful ally? All our relaationship with Israel brings us is pain, and this was pointed out by no less than General Petraeus last week.
The 9/11 commission also found that the September 11th attackers were largely motivated by our support for Israel. What do we get in return for this support? Nothing as far as I can see. It's time to end our "special relationship" with Israel, maybe then the Israelis will stop slaughtering Palestinian civilians every time they feel like it”

Israel was found guilty of using collective punishment on the Palestinians and the murder of those children was part of that collective punishment. [A quite blatant lie.

Zionists declared their own statehood in 1948 and generously gave themselves 56% of the land in Palestine. Considering that the number of jews living in Palestine before the 1930s was less than 10% of the population and that the great majority of the Jewish immigration after WW1 was illegal it's hard not to see this as a simple case of land theft. The behavior of the zionists during 1948 when they massacred Palestinians in their homes and drove them from their villages only confirms this. Many of these massacres (such as the one at Deir Yassin) occurred before Egypt or any other country in the middle east declared War on Israel in response to Israel's declaration of statehood. Land theft, terrorism and massacre of the native population is no way to start a country. If modern day supporters of Israel were to acknowledge some of these sins of the past then we might be able to get somewhere with the peace process. [Revisionist history again. Israel is not a state for "Zionists" it is a state for Jews. This post is repeated word for word in other threads.]

Israel has absolutely no 'de facto' right to exist. It is an artificial state that was spirited into existence at the end of World War II by ethnically cleansing the population of large parts of Palestine - simple as that. And don't use the holocaust as an excuse because even eight year olds know that two wrongs don't make a right. For those who were displaced by WW2, there was plenty or room in the United States, the UK and other countries with zero history of meaningful anti-semitism for Jews to emigrate to. But instead of doing so zionists insisted on stealing other peoples land. Having said all of that, the Palestinians found the charity to accept Israel as a neighbor and this has been their official policy for over fifteen years - Arrafat went on record to say that they do not want the destruction or the removal of the Israeli state many times, just the establishment of a viable and truly independent Palestinian state.

[This is but one example of the dozens of time he accuses Israel of killing "1200 civilians."]
Please show some citations for your figures. Many Iranians (both Jews and non Jews) fled Iran after the revolution in the early 80s, they did so because they did not like the new regime - not because they were forced out as an act of ethnic cleansing. If you have some sources (other than pro-Israel propoganda sites) for the nonsense you posted above I'd love to hear them. Otherwise I'm going to have to characterize them as lies.

I own my own business, I received a proposal for a joint project from an Israeli company recently and I informed them that I don't do business with Israel right now. Let me tell you, that go their attention. The only thing that will force the Israelis to stop slaughtering Palestinians is if we stop doing business with them.

Why Israeli Jew Uri Davis Joined Fatah To Save Palestine
Guess what? Just because a UN Resolution says something, that doesn't mean it is true. Israel was created through a massive act of land theft and ethnic cleansing. I have hear zero denials from you on this point. So in what sense can it possible have a "right" to exist. If I steal your wallet and keep it in my pocket for a period of time does that somehow give me a "right" of ownership? Don't be absurd. The fact is that Israel DOES exist, however the fact must also be acknowledged that this existence is based upon a crime. As a (presumably) Jewish person are you sure you want to live in a "might makes right" world? For your information America may not always be the staunch ally of Israel that it is today, and America may not always be the world's greatest superpower. Israel would do well to learn to treat the rightful inhabitants of Palestine as if they are human beings and not livestock to be herded around and slaughtered on a whim. Cause ya know what? Karma is a bitch.

Israel Arms Licenses Revoked By Britain
The Palestinians were slaughtered and raped in their villages in 1948 before they were forced out at gunpoint by zionist extremists to march through the desert to camps where they have been living to this day. The fact that Israel has continued to brutalize the Palestinians and refuses to make peace with them is no excuse for their continued expulsion or failure to compensate them. History has recorded how the zionists treated the Palestinians in 1948. Not a very glorious spectacle for birth of a nation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saliha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_from_Lydda_and_Ramla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Shusha_massacre

Ad hominem attacks are not generally much respected in debate. If something above is inacurate then why don't you let us know what it is. It's totally typical of people who don't have a leg to stand on in a debate to disparage the other side without being specific in any way. A sleazy tactic.

Netanyahu Peace Speech: Israeli Prime Minister Appeals To Arab Leaders For Peace
Really, you think it's generous of him to allow the Palestinians to keep the small portion of land that Israel has not already stolen from them? And of course they are not allowed to have an army so Israel can do anything they like at any time they want in the future? Oh, and by the way, they must also disenfranchise the Palestinians in Israel by recognizing that Israel is a "jewish" state. What a wonderfully progressive, democratic idea that is. Nothing racist about that at all. [The Jews having their own state is racist, but the Palestinians having their own is presumably not.]

Claiming that people who have the decency to challenge Israel over its brutal treatment of the Palestinians have somehow "enabled" the psychopath who attacked people at the Holocaust Museum only illustrates how twisted and hateful you are towards anyone who disagrees with you.

"Mommy, Why Do People Want to Kill the Jews?"
Your characterization of people who criticize American Jews for their hypocrisy (wailing loudly on the rare ocassion one of their own is attacked, yet happily supporting Likud's ongoing attrocities against the Palestinians) is itself highly hateful. I absolutely do not hate Jews. I've had romantic relationships with Jewish women - I don't think of the world in terms of jew, or arab, or christian or anything like that. We're just sick of the double standards and hypocrisy of so many US Jews when it comes to this issue.

You're right - they're not the same. The attack by the settler is arguably the worse miscarriage of justice. We can expect the hateful lunatic who went on the rampage in the Holocaust museum to be charge with the full force of the law. The settler who gunned two Palestinians down though has just gotten off scot free. I wonder which story is going to get the more publicity inside Israel over the coming days? [Comparing the Holocaust museum shooter to a settler. By the way, if you want to find the article he is referring to, check out the thread. The settler got into a fight with two Palestinians and did shoot two. One was hit in the arm and the other in the chest, but neither one died. It's a bit disingenuous to claim that he "gunned them down"]

Why is it that when something bad (and the shooting at the Holocaust meusem was appalling) happens to a Jewish person there is a firestorm of publcity. However when something bad or even worse happens to a Palestinian/Arab/Muslim it's just ho-hum, business as usual and 'whatever'. For instance, just yesterday Haaretz reported that prosecutors in Israel decided not to press charges against a west bank settler who shot two Palestinians completely unprovoked, in cold blood, and CAUGHT ON VIDEO TAPE! So how come there hasn't been an uproar in the US press about that? How come there hasn't been people decrying this act of abject racism? Pretty simple - jewish people are obviously FAR more important than Palestinians - a group who essentially have zero rights. From Haaretz: PROSECUTION DROPS INDICTMENT AGAINST SETTLER FILMED SHOOTING PALESTINIANS http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1091253.html VIDEO OF ABOVE INCIDENT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bV-dy8p7TM [See?

I agree that this is dangerous territory moflard, I honestly don't think these things can be argued about well on blogs like Huff Post since many people on here will happily make sweeping generalizations or offer false histories, something I don't find in your posts. One thing I would like to say though is that in a post-enlightenment world there is something troubling about the desire of certain jews to combine their racial identity with their relgious identity. No other people that I know of does this and frankly, it stinks of racism to me. Such jews are basically saying that there is something special in their actual bloodline, not their character, their philosophy, or their relgious beliefs, but in their actual genetics that they wish to keep separate and unsullied from Gentile blood. I live in New York and the amount of otherwise sophisticated, progressive jewish people I know who will happily admit that they would only marry a jewish person is shocking. I'm Irish and any Irish person who said they would only marry an Irish person in order to preserve the celtic race or anything else like that would be rightly viewed as being a racist clown by other Irish people.

In your history you declared your independence in 1948 unilaterally after stealing 50% of the land of Palestine, having only moved there during the previous 20 years and then ethnically cleansing the Palestinians from their homes at the end of a gun. You don't have a right to much at all in my opinion, least of all to steal yet more land from the Palestinians in the name of "security". Hearing the thief lecture others about "security" really makes me laugh. [Israelis don't have the right to live in security because they are "thieves."]

You're right, its important to note the range of opinion from a wide variety of people who are rightly critical of Israel for its disgusting actions towards the Palestinians. On the other hand it should also be noted that there is a concerted campaign form the likes of AIPAC and other pro-zionism organizations in the US to snow blogs such as these with pro-Israel comments. These people will only be exposed for the narrow-minded tribalists that they are if more and more ordinary Americans take an interest in this issue and stand up to them. We have allowed our foreign policy be directed by the likes of AIPAC for far too long. Many people in this organization are guilty of treason in my opinion.

Actually, if you want to go down that route it would make more sense to give Sicily to the Israelis, since it was the Romans who kicked them out in the first place. But hey, that would be ridiculous right? Just like the idea that zionists could colonize the land of Palestine and use terrorist methods to ethnically cleanse the population who had lived there for a thouand years before setting up an ethno-religious state of their own. Such an absurd thing could never actually happen, right?

Find a reputable historian who says that grater Israel ever existed. Most feel that Israel was for almost all of its existence a conglomeration of city states, living side by side with other cultures. Why in the hell do you think whatever was there 3,000 years ago gives zionists the right to usurp the people who have lived there for over two thousand years. If jews don't want to be discriminated against and be treated differently to others they might want to lose their own bizarre sense of exceptionalism. [Yeah, it's asking way too much for Jews to be granted their right to self-determination. They deserve to be discriminated against for their chutzpah.]

Israel was spirited out of nowhere by a UN resolution in 1948 at a time when the UN amounted to one country - the United States. It's an entirely artificial creation and was built upon ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from lands they had occupied for thousands of years. Hope your proud of that.
