The final solution is for Israel to hold on for as long as it takes for the Arab world to leave the fourteenth century- up to and including forever. The status quo is still a better deal for Israelis than any of the alternatives offered.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have the phrase “How do you solve a problem like Judaism” bouncing through their heads to the tune of “How do you solve a problem like Maria”?
I have an idea, lets do a world lottery, every person in the world is randomly assigned to a part of the globe…I am very serious about this…must go work on my manifesto.
Oh, longer than that, I’m sure. But the idea that the Jews have any hereditary claim, or even connection, to their ancestral homeland is bullshit. My ancestors came from Switzerland, but it’s just one more foreign country to me.
Just because you feel no connection to Switzerland, does not mean other folks must feel no connection to other places. Imputing your own feelings onto others as if they were a universal norm is “bullshit”.
It’s a matter of emotion. I do not think being Jewish gives any “rights” to anything, and a Jew in Boston has no more “rights’ to Israel than an American of Irish descent has to Ireland. But if that Irish-American claims to feel a special connection with the green rolling hills of Ireland, stoked by Irish folk-music and the stories of Finn MacCool or whatever, even though his family came over as indentured servants in 1700, I am in no position to call 'bullshit”.
I asked one of my colleagues in Yemen one day when he was blathering on about Palestinians and how unfairly treated they were by Israel, “Well, why don’t you let the Palestinians move to Yemen?”
His response, “We don’t want THEM here.” :rolleyes:
Great for you. But I know many many American Jews who feel strongly connected to Israel and do things like buy Israeli products, advocate for Israel, or go serve in the Israeli army.
You know what? I’m usually the last person to seriously call someone a troll. I’ll call people that in this forum, but usually I’m exaggerating (or, in some cases, they’ve admitted to such.) But I just did a quick look over all the threads that this guy has started, and it really does seem like this guy is a troll.
I’m going to try putting this guy on my ignore list, and see if I miss out on anything. And, yes, the reason I’m saying this is not only because I can, but also because I believe it moral that I should give him a chance to change. That’s always why I do it.
