Israel and views

If a friend mine is into drugs and I believe it’s bad for him I would try to show him the other point of view of drugs he is not seeing.

If a friend of mine is jewish I will try convince him to abandon his faith, just as I try to convince statist friends to abandon statism.

So who exactly here is your friend?

The theory that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are the descendants of the non-Semitic convertedKhazars was advocated by various racial theorists and antisemitic sources in the late-19th and 20th centuries, especially following the publication of Arthur Koestler’s The Thirteenth Tribe.^[37][38][39]Despite recent genetic evidence to the contrary,^[1] and a lack of any real mainstream scholarly support,^[40] this belief is still popular among antisemites.^[41][42]

It doesn’t mention Shlomo Sand.

eric cantor is just one example of why some aren’t enamored with the us-israel relationship.

I do understand on a liberterian term that Isreal should be largely criticize for its crime, but what impress me the most is the huge energy used to do it in comparaison with other crime states.

Moreover most people think that Isreal is a homogeneous state made of the same kind of Jewish, the Ashkenazi type, putting apart the Sephardi one (and many others).

The Sephardi one (in its wide definition) were Jewish who lived in Arabic country and most of them had been chased away by Arabian people while and after the first Israeli war. Jewish people which historicaly were, for many of them, living before the Arabian came (beside Iran).

Anyway you can find more detail there.

This is a massive Right property violation which few people seems to take into account, it does not diminish the one the Paslestinian suffers, but forgetting this would not give the full understanding of what’s happening there.

The second problem with this Israeli Hysteria , that this is the perfect scapegoat or scarecrow to distract people from other states crimes, and many of those (the States i mean) who critizice Isreal should instead put its own house in order before doing it.

to marko:

have you read the invention of the jewish people?

[newson]

to kafka:

israel comes in for criticism on account of its special relationship with the us. no other nation receives anywhere near the financial, military support or political support that israel enjoys.

I usually identify the weaker participant in an argument by which one first lapses into ad hominem attacks. With “your character and intellect,” addressed to Player on December 3 above, Smiling Dave, you have taken the brass ring. Mazel tov!
