WOW! See What Happens When an Anti-Semitic Politician learns he is a Jew!!!

I did notice they didn't have a whole lot of actual quotes from the guy about him specifically saying what he felt about the Jews, merely stated he felt antipathy towards them at best. And yeah, I know there's a big difference between hating Jews on principle and disliking Israel's policies in general. And some of our posters, you and Snakestretcher among them, are among the latter while several other unnamed posters start from the former, and naturally include the latter.

Nevertheless, it would still be interesting if one of our Denialists discovered that they had Significant Jewish blood in them, and/or had a relative who turned out to have survived the camps.

 

If you can choose for yourself to become a Jew, then you wouldn't be chosen by God, would you?

Or is it like that was God's plan, for you to choose to convert so he did still choose you?

 

Since I don't believe in the concept of choseness that is not really relevant to my Judaism. But for Jews who do there is a mystical tradition that all Jews who ever lived or will live were at Sinai in spirit. So they we among those that echoed God in the notion of choosing each other.

Besides choseness is not what most people think it is. Jewish tradition is full of stories of how God chose others who rejected God and thus the people who followed Abraham chose God.

 

I have to admit, I understand Judaism very little. I am Christian and for me there is only one thing you ever need to know for that.. But there is the same idea of chosenness, not regarding people but texts/writers, which brought us our bible, sacred and holy to almost all Christians but me. God didn't choose any special people, nor did he choose any people to be his authors. He sent his message in the flesh and not in dozens of different scrolls and manuscripts scattered about all over the place.

 

Wherever you're getting your info from, I would suggest stopping. Jewish has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with a matrilineal bloodline.

68% of jews living in Israel do not observe or practice the jewish faith.

Religion
Main article: Religion in Israel
Percentage changes of the main religious groups in the years 1949–2008

According to a 2010 Israel Central Bureau of Statistics study[26] on Israelis aged over 18, 8% of Israeli Jews define themselves as haredim (or Ultra-Orthodox); an additional 12% are "religious" (non-haredi orthodox, also known as: dati leumi/national-religious or religious zionist); 13% consider themselves "religious-traditionalists" (mostly adhering to Jewish Halakha); 25% are "non-religious traditionalists" (only partly respecting the Jewish Halakha), and 43% are "secular". Among the seculars, 53% say they believe in God. Due to the higher birth rate of religious and traditionalists over seculars, the share of religious and traditionalists among the overall population is even higher.

I'm surprised jewish posters on this thread haven't pointed this out...but I think I know why.

 

And if you believe in jewish belief, such as genesis, then all mankind is from the mother of all life (eve). Do you know the literature?

No wonder compassion has little meaning in israel.

That is the most horrid comment on the thread

 

basically, you just dont know

Why is it that a human being cannot be a good 'who' just by the choice of doing good?

Give a reason.

 

So you dont follow the judaism that you dont like but feel like killing muslims is a good jew?

Muslims follow the abrahamic spirit.

Moses killed 3000 men in sinai, per torah. Is that just the spirit that you like; killing ?

word salad

christians and muslims are both followers that chose the abrahamic god.

Why cant they be good while you dont follow the parts of judaism, that you dont like, and are ?

 

Many people, including practicing jews, believe most of the stories in the OT to be allegorical or simply parables to illustrate a moral or religious lesson.

 

what is the lesson from this:

Gen 3:20 And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.

21 And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

22 And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,'

 

I'm inclined to agree with a certain French Ambassador who described Israel as a " $hitty little country " + who typically Jewish - thinks its a superpower."
For all its claims , it has never really been confronted by a military force equally equipped + of equal military strength

.....

 

Yet the guy in the OP with his superior bloodlines can just convert

I cant see how Jews are in the position to have a go at anyone else for being supremacists

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, (Arabic, Abdullah Youssef[1]) (Hebrew: עובדיה יוסף&#8206 (born September 23, 1920) is the former Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel,[2] a recognised Talmudic scholar and foremost halakhic authority.

"The sole purpose of non-jews is ti serve Jews. Goyim were born only to serve us. They have no place in the world - only to serve the people of Israel"

"Imagine if one's donkey would die. They'd lose their money. This is his servant, thats why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew"
