""There have been comments to the effect that the Jewish state should be ended, there has been considerable digital ink spilled in a downright weird argument that the Jews in Israel are not racially Jews but they are committing genocide on the millions of Palestinians (who have gone on being Palestinian all this time). There has also been an implication that Jews might be more justified if they were willing to die off in larger numbers during the recent conflicts.

The crux of the matter is a genocidal intent to deny Jews their Palestinian rights and Palestinian origins. (The whiff of Juden Raus is rich through this thread because it seeks to deny Jews their time and place without allowing them any other time or place. Without the extremists who can't stomach synagogues (and churches) along with mosques in the Middle East, the many wars of the young State Of Israel would have been not so much.""

EGREGIOUS RUBBISH!

Before entering a debate, it is useful to consider the terms which relate to what you are discussing.

There is NO Jewish state. The state is Israel, and a proportion of its population follow the Jewish faith.


As long as those widely different terms are presented as synonymous, this discussion cannot reach any viable conclusions.

Look at the origins of the Jewish inhabitants of Israel.

They are German Jews, Polish Jews, Romanian Jews, Hungarian Jews, etc. etc.

The common factors are 1). Their faith is Judaism, and 2). They have taken Israeli Nationality by choice.

There is no Jewish race, as such.

Back on track, could somebody please explain how any of these sidetracking points have any bearing on Israels government sponsored piracy and murder?
