DAVE, you don't have to like me. I don't personally give a rat's ass whether you do or not. The fact is, a sizable number of the people in the room (notice I do NOT say a majority, or most) have indicated signs of either anti-Semitism, or at the least, gross ignorance. The remarks made about Israel are sufficient to prove that. Furthermore, the comments about Jews owning everything in the world, and controlling everything, when we make up less than .02% of the population, are not only anti-Semitic, they are just outright stupid.
How does that work? How does that tiny percentage of people manage to control the entire planet? I mean, damn, either non-Jews are incredibly stupid (which I don't believe for a minute), or we are incredibly brilliant (which is true, but still, we aren't brilliant enough for that) or both, for us to accomplish that! But we haven't done too well, since we managed to get 6 million of us killed in 12 years. How does a population that controls the world manage to get fully 1/4 of its population annihilated by one Austrian small-time corporal turned dictator that couldn't even write grammatical German, and couldn't even get accepted to art school?
I mean, you are all beginning to sound more silly by the moment, the more anti-Semitic you get. I'm beginning to think that nothing more even need be said. I started this thread to answer legitimate questions about Jews and Judaism, rather than absurd ones. So, ask away. But put an end to the foolish ones.
Vindictus, you have, as usual, failed to see the point. I have at no time advocated genocide. Again, Israel has never engaged in the practice. Given that the "Palestinian" population has multiplied by 4 times in 47 years, lets face it, they're doing a piss-poor job of it if that is what they are attempting to do. If Israel truly wanted to eliminate every "Palestinian", it could be accomplished within a week. Intensive carpet bombing or fire bombing would do the job quite nicely. I realise you regularly fail to see my point. I've gotten used to that, so don't expect me to be overly surprised.
