    Now, I'm against any form of terrorism, including the Stern Gang/Lehi who receive constant praise, medals of honour, state funerals and monuments within Israel for effectively bombing innocent people, mainly British.

    Many many Argentinian Jews, such as Timmerman, support La Campora, a state sponsored terrorist group, and the 'Front for Victory' a party pushing kirchnerism, a ideological framework built upon the works of Adolf Hitler himself, who we all know loved Jewish people, homosexuals and gypsies.

    Then they get upset about someone being a friend of Iran? Am I missing something?

    No sir, very few Argentine jews support La Campora or CFK, Timerman is a shamefull blot on the Argentine jewish escutcheon, especially as his father was a hero of opposition to the military government of 1976-1983!!!!!!

    One would think that the opinion of Ecuadors leader would be the least of the Argentine Jews problems. I would say Iran fast becoming a strategic ally of Argentina would be more of a concern to them.

    Correa is a crackpot, so nato bombs are like those of iranian terrorists? Sure theyare, just like nazi concentration camps are the same as disneyworld. He is the number one village idiot.

    “the Ecuadorean leader was recognized with the Rodolfo Walsh award, given to him by La Plata University, a prize previously awarded to Venezuela President Hugo Chavez and Bolivia President Evo Morales.”

    Isn't this guy personally responsible to the death of the free press in his own country? With them locking up and 'harmonising' journalists he's winning an award for journalism? Who the hell are the faculty at this university?

    I think we should be told.

    I suspect the faculty had nothing to do with it, beginning to look more and more like a dictatorship every day. Judiciary, press, academia, all controlled by KFC.

    “the Ecuadorean leader was recognized with the Rodolfo Walsh award, given to him by La Plata University, a prize previously awarded to Venezuela President Hugo Chavez and Bolivia President Evo Morales.”
    Guess this is an award just for socialist commies? Guess CFK will win next time. As for the statement by Correa...she should have asked him to leave the country immediately. She didn't so she should apologize to the citizens of Argentina or resign. Period.

    The Faculty of Periodism of the UNLP is basically run by 1970's Montoneros and ERP leftovers. This whole crypto communist rabble is faithfull toCFK because it is where she theoretically studied law in the 1970's with Nestor. Most Argentines are totally ashamed of these awards to the champions of repression of press freedom!!!!!

    One has to wonder what the late Mr Walsh would have said on the matter?

    What Correa said wasn't pretty, as the subject of bombing and mass death itself is not, but he is right, and it SO doesn't mean justifying the murders in Buenos Aires, just not letting them be used to justify more murder in Iran itself as Israel and some other Western imperialists seem itching to do. When the Simon Wiesenthal centre uses “anti-imperialist” as a swear word it becomes clear that it is not simply a broad anti-Nazi group, which I would approve of, but has another agenda. Btw Hitler was an imperialist...

    #1 How can you be so right in paragraph 1 and so wrong in paragraph 2? Btw if many Argentine Jews support Kirchenrism, doesn't that kinda show its not like Naziism?!

    #2 No I imagine she agrees with him, she is a smart clued up lady after all

    #9 So being killed by NATO bombs is like Disneyland is it, you sicko?!

    #12 Well, she deserves the prize as much as Chavez and Correa, has Fidel got it yet =)
