Reply #6: When you say ..... [View All]

".... Israel is a wonderful country and a homeland for people of the Jewish faith", you are trivializing the importance of Israel to Jews.

As Jews, we share common customs, origins, ethnicity, history, language, religion (and we take in new members). That makes us a nationality or a tribe. Israel is more than a homeland for people of Jewish faith. Throughout history when we were murdered or exiled from countries we were born in, because we are or were Jews, ... converting to the prevailing faith of the country would not usually save us. Being Jewish is more than a faith.

When you say, " .... what ever gave them the idea that they could treat others as second class citizens there? Isn't that what happened in Germany?" ... you are making a false assumption.

Israeli Jews most certainly do not treat Israeli Arabs or Palestinians in the manner that Jews were treated in Germany.
