OK, so you're afraid. LOL 1: faith is beyond words and literally cannot be literal. LOL 2: Judaism requires all boys to recite from the Torah in Hebrew at age 13. That is as literal as you can get. What makes you say Israel is a theocracy? Any Islamic drone strikes lately? I guess Christianity <3 drone strikes? This and your stoning examples etc. are called "stacked evidence."
I'm stating that it is the closest thing we have to a Jewish theocracy. Which speaks volumes to the lack of willingness of Jews to politicize their faith unlike a large portion of Muslims. Me personally afraid? Not really. I live in the safe confines of Massachusetts. As an apostate I would be and rationally ought to be afraid of Islam if my apostasy took place in a Islamic majority country.
Listen to a rabbi explain why Israel is totally anti-Jewish. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/awCOSRg-gks" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awCOSRg-gks
Tell me sirbaihu, do you have a final solution to the problem as well? Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to so I can find out what the Jews are secretly up to?
"A final solution"? Is that some kind of wretched joke about the Holocaust? No, I don't have a newsletter.
It also speaks volumes to how much mission drift there has been since the State of Israel's secular, socialist creation. Escaping the shtetl and creating a society of equality was as important to them as it was escaping anti-semitism. None of those aspirations worked out too well.
Damn, people are pretty inarticulate in this thread. Deji and Pouhe offer ad hominem attacks on me, as a way of avoiding the argument. It does give make me say "ouch," but aside from that, it does not even address the arguments put forward by actual rabbis.
More merit? Dude, that in and of itself shows huge bias and is an eye-brow raising statement. All this thread is about is asking if saying that Jews should be moved to America anti-Semitic??? There are many people who have made the similar suggestions about Palestinians without being attacked as an Islamophobe and nor should they be. This person who said this may in fact be an anti-Semite, but the statement she made alone isn't enough to condemn her as such.
Considering that hundreds of millions of Muslims think that he deserves death for leaving their cult, any "bias" is more than understandable. Of course it is. Also, you are an idiot.
Who are the bigots? Surely the ones who want someone dead just because he doesn't agree with their beliefs anymore?
Please don't derail this thread into your crusade to point out how many extremists are part of Islam and how bad Islam is. There are plenty of other threads for you to poop in. Go poop there. Everyone and their dog here except maybe a few crazies already condemns extremists. There's no need to bring it up everytime when it's not even germane. I really wish you would just grow up and stop calling people idiots and whatnot on a basketball forum as a way to boost your little ego.
You are the one that posted a video called "Jews Against Zionism and Rothschilds" that features some Naturei Karta nutballs, outliers even in haredi circles, as some sort of authority on anything. David Duke loves him some Naturei Karta as well, as do most ethnocentric far-right nationalist agitators, since they can use them as a fig leaf to say "See, these Jews totally agree with me, so my views are totally legit." Yes, the ultra-orthodox don't like the State of Israel. That's because they believe it should be a monarchy, headed by the Moshiach. While they are waiting for the messiah to return and overthrow those evil secularists and kill all non-Jews in the Holy Land, most haredi groups in Israel have formed political parties and run for office (in a state they say shouldn't exist) demanding a continued exemption from the draft, and free cradle-to-grave financial support to pay them and their unemployable followers a living. But don't let any of that reality stop you from posting anti-semitic cliches and pretending you don't know what they are.
If you reread the post you quoted I think it is clear that I said that moving Palestinians to other Arab countries wasn't a valid policy.
It is certainly for some who are able to articulate that position without being called out on those views. I am just puzzled why one position is anti-semitic and the other way is considered ok by the folks crying about anti-Semitism.
I'm not clear what you're saying here. I don't consider it OK to say that Palestinians should be relocated to other countries. That would also be ethnic cleansing.
Yes but that is a position of some Israeli politicians and many share that view in both Israel and here - but it is not considered controversial. If a British MP said that Palestinians should move to Jordan to solve the problem, they would not be expelled from their party and there would be no uproar.
