Whenever comparisons between the Nazi treatment of Jews prior to and during World War II and Israeli treatment of Palestinians (and other peoples of the Middle East) are made, Zionist apologists hasten to dismiss the analogies as unjustified and corrupt.

On the anniversary of 9/11, an Italian-produced documentary called ZERO, investigating the tragedy, is opening in Russia. The authors believe that the U.S. official version of events surrounding the attacks can't be true. U.S. networks have rejected the film.

Comments & Feedback

What is your purpose for being on here Keld? Is it just to hate on Israel or do you hate all Jews no matter where they live?

— Jeff Mauney

Absolutely love your articles Keld. You go where others fear to tread. An admirable quality. Keep it up!

— Sedekka

Interesting reading, Mr. Bach. I look for my own balance. We need writers from the many different perspectives in the world. By digesting some of what many of those perspectives have to say, balance can be found. Thank you for providing your perspective to the mix!

— KyanaBelle

Keld. I love your articles. You keep me informed on what is really going on in The Middle East. And for that I'm truly grateful. You are a controversial reporter. A rare quality indeed. Keep up the great work. Your mate Sedekka.

— Sedekka

Keld sounds like a Nazi to me. Comparing Hamas to the Israeli army is crazy. Israel gave up the Gaza to evil Hamas and where did it get Israel? Nowhere but the creation of a Hamas terrorist State. Israel shouldn't give the Palestinian terrorists one inch of land because that one inch will be used for murder and terror. The Palestinians have no right to any Israel land anyway. They are from Egypt and Jordan, so that's where they belong, not in Israel. But Egypt and Jordan doesn't want them. Israel goes back 3000 years, long before Christianity, Islam or the Palestinians, for that matter. Israel is only trying to survive in the midst of terrorist and murderous countries that surround it. If there is a hell then the Arab countries would be it.

Keld Bach is one of those rare individuals who really speaks his mind, not letting him self be hampered by what is politically opportune on the spur of the moment. Respect!

— Bald

Keld has a uncanny ability to find the obscure but important stories that would otherwise be missed.

— WebWeasel

The most stable columnist on Newvine yet he keeps climbing out on limbs by himself. He is basically a message bearer until you get him engaged. Then he writes some of the shrewdest, most intellectual commentary available. As far as I know he only gets involved in the important stuff. Keld is safe harbour in a storm.

— oldfogey

I just wish I knew where he was coming from.....

— MCLiepshutz

Great artcles Keld, enjoy reading them.

— Steve Andrews

I constantly find myself voting for your seeds and thinking, "Damn, I wish I found that one." Thanks for all of the informative content you bring to Newsvine.

— mcgillert

Sorry SpookyET, but that's not the purpose of me being here. You'll have to go to Fox News if you're looking for something "fair and balanced".

— Keld Bach

Some people think he's crazy, I think his content is important. Hooray for Keld.

— Zaki

Having read my university blog (in Danish) Keld brought me here while Newsvine was still in beta. I'd blogrolled his old blog because it ruled. I'm still a Keld fanboy. The articles he seeds are usually controversial but always deserving more spotlight on them. Also, I think it's kind of cool that he's consistently refusing to buy into the "why do you hate America/Israel/whatever" rhetoric. Keep it up, Keld.

— Benno Hansen

Great sources, great writing, what more can you say. Thanks for making us think.

— cp33

Keld, why don' t you balance yourself. How about you post as many bad stories about Hezbullah as you do about Israel? Right now, you look anti US and Israel.

— SpookyET

You have to get up pretty early in the morning if you want to beat Keld to some of the more interesting stories to hit the Vine. Or possibly just move time zones.

Keep questioning authority, Keld.

— Red Wolf

Keld makes Americans angry, but maybe we need to be angry. I don't always agree with him, but if America does something naughty, he'll let us know first.

— Walt D

You have highly interesting and thought provoking great seeds and I appreciate the rational manner in which you approach everything, even in the face of personal attacks, which themselves have no rational standing.
