Ah, so we finally get to the substance of what you believe. And lo and behold, I've been right this entire time!but it's a bit hypocritical of them to declare they exist for the purpose of accepting Jews who will be turned away elsewhere and then turn away every other oppressed group in exactly the same fashion This is an argument that many Jews and Israelis make, and Israel does take in many refugees for humanitarian reasons, assuming they can make it from Africa to Israel without getting killed for one reason or another. However, Israel does not have the resources to accept every single refugee from every single demographic in need of humanitarian aid, the country would be overwhelmed by that. Living in places such as Sderot, Dimona, Yeruham and Eilat isn't exactly like living in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, and while I'm sure Israel could manage to find a way to absorb hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees if the need ever arose (and let's hope it doesn't), life isn't going to be easy for everyone, refugees and current residents of Israel alike, if that were to happen. the crap they're pulling in Palestine (though not as bad as the crap America is pulling in Pakistan) seriously needs to end. The fact that you call out Israel for the crap it is supposedly pulling in Palestine (which I need to remind you yet again is not a country) while saying nothing about the other countries that contribute to the problem proves my point, you see Israel as the country that began all this, and somehow, Israel is also going to single-handedly end it. Is this because, as you claim, the other countries in the region are fucked up beyond repair? In that case, maybe the world needs to set out to repair those countries instead of fixating on Israel's relatively benign problems. That isn't to say that Israel isn't without flaws, it certainly isn't. But they are blown way out of proportion compared to what is going on in the rest of the world. And the plight of the Palestinians is not all that bad compared to some other impoverished, persecuted populations on this planet, let's put this in perspective. It isn't good, but it could be much worse. It's about as stupid and bullshit as every other religion, but deserves some credit for being much less virulent than, say, Christianity or Islam, and for having at least some self-awareness as to the fact that its laws were made up by dudes rather than handed down by gods. Keep on displaying your ignorance, it's all you seem to be good at. There are plenty of Jews who believe that the Torah was written by Moses with G-d's dictation at Sinai and cannot be changed in any way. Depending on what texts you read, Judaism is no less virulent than Christianity or Islam, and you have people such as Meir Kahane, Yigal Amir and Baruch Goldstein who prove that. Finally, you let your hatred of all organized religion show yet again, even though no one else here is forcing you to be religious or not. Learn to live and let live, you might find yourself with fewer issues here. |
