Its something no other people in the world would do. Your buddy Putin who you always makes excuses for doesn't do it. Hamas certainly didn't do it.

Wow. Online rants and threats by anonymous people? You can get that if you post that you think Taylor Swift sucks or post in Reddit in general lol.

On the other hand, just mass-murdering civilians and parading bodies down the street like 15th century barbarians is reality.

Boo Hoo. The Islamic countries often hate each other, nobody is going to team up and Hamas is going to take an absolute beating.

Basically, you're trying a whole lot of scare tactics with no more weight that a feather. Don't bring the heat and then cower behind threats.

If the Palestinians were as gentle as the Israelis, they wouldn't have done what they did last Saturday.

Their Arab brothers should have accommodated the Palestinians and to some degree they have but obviously not enough.

It's war. *shrug*

Whining and crying about "fairness" is not a winning strategy.

Hey wait, let's get Fatah's opinion on this. Fatah? Fatah? Oh....you were massacred by Hamas.

Best way to sum up Muslim "togetherness".

According to whom? You? Why should we take your word for anything? And better yet, why would you suggest that frequency of use has any bearing on whether it was derogatory or not? Why is there even a term like “gentile” or Goyim? And why would it be “used all the time” ?

Well, the most obvious answer is to make clear distinction between those who are Jews, and those who aren’t Jews. And why is that important, unless Jews consider and treat non-Jews differently than fellow Jews. Surely Jews believe that God looks upon Jews differently, since it is the Jews to whom God made a covenant with, and not the others? So, Jews believe they have this unique covenant with God that nobody else has, making Jews God’s chosen people. The extreme arrogance expressed in this belief speaks for itself.

The same applies to the term “infidel” or those who aren’t expressing fidelity to God. According to Muslims, Islam is the only practice that one can express fidelity to God.

First it's "you people" and then it's "us?"

And to reply to your post above, yes, I'm a Jew. I don't claim to be "hardcore" (whatever that means), but I've never been treated badly by ANY Jews. I have been treated badly and called very nasty names by Christians, if you want to play "victim tit for tat".
Never? Not once? No Jew has ever treated you badly, but those damned Christians ... that’s another story, huh? “They” always treat you badly?

You don’t even realize how obvious you are, do you? You have no self awareness in how you expose your own “us and them” mindset with statements like this, while in the next breath, vehemently deny such a mindset even exists?

It’s astonishing lack of self reflection.

Yes, "you people" refers to "Israel supporters making genocidal rants" and "us" refers to Americans. Was that not understandable based on context?

You feel you are in the position to define who is "you people" and who is "us?"

That's quite an ego you have.
