squall-lionheart:
Jews are famous for being stingy, even in religion
They don't wish for anyone to become jews ...
You know what I mean don't you


What an anti-semitic remark... Anyone can become Jewish. There are many Jews by choice... We just don't proselytize....

We don't believe that you will go to hell for not being Jewish. You don't need to be Jewish to have a relationship with G-d...


And like I said Jews were in the middle east long before there were Muslims. They were in Israel up to the modern period.


Do you know what the word Islam mean ?
It means surrender to the One God ...
so when you say before Islam it is like when you say before any prophet came to tell the people that there is only one God & that only shows your ignorance over the issue
And one last thing .. you dont believe jesus was a prophet .
You (Jews )Handed him to the Romans to crucify him .


There was no Islam before Muhammad...... Islam is about 1400 years old..... Yes I know Muslims like to think that they were here first and that in the beginning there was Islam but that is not the case... Islam is the baby on the block....

Jesus was a Jewish man who was crucified by the Romans..... But of course you Muslims believe he was taken up and didn't die... So what does it matter??

You see in Christian tradition he was supposed to die because without his death there is not salvation through his blood.....

You clearly don't really know much about Judaism... There really is more to it then what you have cut and pasted in your replies....

we beleive in this hadith

By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one of this nation, Jew or Christian, hears of me then dies without having believed in that with which I was sent, but he will be one of the people of Hell.”


notice that the prophet mentioned Jew and Christian

what about the others

the others are also included

the others do not have holy books

and the people who have holy books must follow him
so those who do not have holy books A fortiori

I wish the Aramaic and Phoenician alphabets could display on my computer so I can learn them online. Unfortunately they can't, and it helps that Arabic and Hebrew are still spoken and used as writing systems in modern times.

BTW I'm a linguist at heart (hence the Noam Chomsky reference in my user name) so I love comparing languages like this.

Most jews I know of are glad to admit that arabic and hebrew have common roots - and Jeiwsh Israelis have a somewhat easier time learning arabic (and israeli and palestinian arabs a somewhat easier time learning Hebrew) as a result.

However having picked up an arabic english dictionary, and trying to see how many words I could pick out with my conversational level hebrew, I can assure you they are NOT like dialects of the same language. More like English and German, say. There are common words, and words that are different but obviously have common roots. (al quds, hakodesh, for example) and then there are false friends - lechem lahum - bread in Hebrew, meat in Arabic. And words that have nothing in common at all.

Aramaic, (i know a tiny bit from talmud study, certain jewish prayers, etc) is closer to hebrew than Arabic, IIUC - as aramaic and hebrew are both survivors of west semitic, while Arabic is the main (only?) survivor of south semitic.

The modern hebrew alphabet is directly derived from the Aramaic alphabet, IIUC. It displaced the original hebrew alphabet around 100BCE. Which is why its so hard for someone who reads hebrew to read ancient hebrew inscriptions, without special training.

We are biased I admit. But being biased does not automatically mean prejudiced.

you are correct zionism is not a religion. However Jews are not simply a religion, but historically a distinct people. Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people. In fact only a handful of Jews are not Zionist - mostly either religious extremists like the hassidim, disdainful of all modern politics - or marginal jews, with little connection to jewish religion OR culture. Maybe a few others. Most jews who disagree with the policies of the current govt of Israel are still Zionists - they want a DIFFERENT (usually more dovish) zionist party, labour or Kadima or Meretz to be the govt of Israel

Some of us believe a peace agreement with the palestinians will be the ultimate fulfillment of the Zionist vision - an Israel at peace with its neighbors.

Actually IIUC most Israeli Druze are hostile to palestinian nationalism. many of them support the right wing Likud party, and at least one was a likud cabinet minister.

yup, this guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayoob_Kara

he actually opposed the Israeli withdrawl from Gaza, which most dovish and centrist Israelis supported.

And if he doesnt count as a "real" druze because of his politics, can we also discount the antizionist jews?

I don't follow your qur'an, and I don't follow the New Testament... They are just books of those who follow those religions...

The more you speak the more thankful I am to be Jewish......

One of the biggest contradictions I've ever seen in my life
I will till u why :
*They don't represent you because you are an American not Israeli .
Ok ...
you are talking about nationalty here ( I understand that part )
But as we all know Israel is a country that founded on the basis of religious belief , Yes they could not represent you when it comes into political approach but they do represent you as Jews .
*They dont influence how u think about things ..
Good .. so according to that you supposed to be against the principle of displacement & indiscriminate bombing of Houses inhabited by innocent Palestinian women and children ( I understand that part too )
What I dont understand is how come you support Israel !!!
That partial word seems like a puzzle to me !!
support means believe & If you believe in something you are automatically influenced by it one way or another , That is why I finde your reply Contradictory and that is exactly why I believe anyone who support Israel is a Zionist .. it Can not be separated one from another & If you try to do that the result would be contradictory as we all see here .
There are Jews who do not support Israel ...
If you asked them why They'll tell you that they disapproves of the principle of the occupation and killing of innocent people .
You are obviously not one of them .

This is not a contradiction.... I am Jewish, Israel is the Jewish state and a safe haven for Jews. I support the Jewish state. I am not an Israeli so the Jewish state does not represent me, it represents its citizens all of them Jew and non Jew.

Jews all have different opinions on Israel but when it comes down to it we all understand that we can never depend on others for our safety and there needs to be a Jewish state where we are in charge of our own destiny. That has been proven historically. I understand that Israel has NO peace partner in with the Palestinians. I understand that Israel needs to remain strong. Israel has many enemies.

I am a zionist, not all Jews are zionists.

As to killing innocents that is a 2 way street. Palestinians kill innocents as well but that seems to be ok because after all they are just Israelis, they are just Jews.

You know when you play with fire you get burned. When you kill innocent Israelis be they Jews, Arabs, Christians, and Druize you might just wake up a hornets nest.

Israel has a right to protect its citizens and as long as hamas sends rockets into Israel and as long as there are suicide bombers and palestinians willing to massacre whole families then I support Israel's response.
