Wrong.

Any Jew will tell you that being a Jew is more than adhering to the religion of Judaism. Jews are a Semitic ethnicity, and Israel's right of return requires a certain percentage of matrilineal Jewish/Semitic heritage.
I don't care what anyone says. The facts are that Israel is ethnically heterogenous. How far back you are required to trace your Jewish heritage for the right of return in practice is determined mostly by how much of a security risk you and your home country are. The Beta Israel population was let in basically due to a fairly tale and desire to build up goodwill; all the genetic studies show they are Ethopian converts with zero link to the Levant. And genetics clearly show the Ashkenazim are closer to Southern Europeans than to Middle Easterners: LINK
quote:

The fixation index, FST, calculated concurrently to the PCA, confirms that there is a closer relationship between the AJ and several European populations (Tuscans, Italians, and French) than between the AJ and Middle Eastern populations (Fig. S2B). This finding can be visualized with a phylogenetic tree built using the FST data (Fig. S2C), showing that the AJ population branches with the Europeans and not Middle Easterners. Two recent studies performing PCA and population clustering with high-density SNP genotyping from many Jewish Diaspora populations, both showed that of the Jewish populations, the Ashkenazi consistently cluster closest to Europeans (13, 25). Genetic distances calculated by both groups also show that the Ashkenazi are more closely related to some host Europeans than to the ancestral Levant (13, 25).
Two thousand years of diaspora, that'll happen.

Zionists! Where are the weapons on a playground and hospital?

quote:

Missiles have struck several sites in Gaza, including a park inside a refugee camp and an outpatient building of the strip's largest hospital, disrupting a relative lull at the start of the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday. Eight people, including seven children, died following missile fire on a park inside the Shati refugee camp on the edge of Gaza City, medics said. The children were playing on a swing when the strike hit the park, Ayman Sahabani, the head of the emergency room at Shifa hospital, told reporters. Munzer al-Derby, 35, who witnessed the strike, told Al Jazeera: "The kids were playing on the wheel... A rocket fell and cut them apart." "I know some of them. They were from Al-Helou family who left their homes in Shujayea (east Gaza city, where massive artillery fire destroyed neighbourhoods). They came here and rented an apartment last week," al-Derby said. The Israeli army swiftly denied it was behind the strike, tweeting that a misfired rocket from Gaza had hit the playground. "We had no activity in the area. We know it was launched from within Gaza and landed short," Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, said.

What kind of country does this to it's own people? Truly despicable. Where are the pro Israeli supporters now? No more arguments? If anything else, this experimental thread has proved OP correct. The pro Israeli argument is a religious, emotional one unfounded on facts or logic. You people are pathetic.

Pretty big deal too especially since the West Bank was in dispute between the two.

I found this snippet from Wikipedia, at our risk I suppose.

quote:


Egypt welcomed the agreement while Syria ignored it. However, the Lebanese militia group Hezbollah resisted the treaty and 20 minutes prior to the ceremony launched mortar and rocket attacks against northern Galilee towns. Israeli residents, who were forced to evacuate the towns for the safety of shelters, took with them transistor radios and mobile TVs in order not to miss the historical moment of signing a second peace treaty with an Arab state.

Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, ect are all backed by the U.S. as well. Much of Hamas's arsenal is purchased via U.S. foreign aid money. America has been double dealing in this conflict for generations, playing both sides.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Would it surprise you to know that there were Jews in Europe during the holocaust that could have saved many from death, but instead chose to allow millions to die because they gave Zionism a greater priority than that of saving Jews from the death chambers?

Basically, it was a death panel where the old and sick were eliminated. They weren't used as human shields as Hamas has done, but they essentially were condemned to death because the cause of Zionism was greater than that of the individual Jew. It was sacrificial.

This is just one case.
It doesn't surprise me at all that a faction would react that way or have that philosophy. You can't broad-brush an entire population of people as being homogeneous in every way in terms of being morally good or bad.

With that said, you are referencing the Holocaust from the 40's. We're about 70 years past that point in time, and many of those people have died off, so I honestly don't think it is relevant to this discussion.

I don't think the government or the people of Israel are perfect, but if I have to choose a side, I'd prefer to support the sinners who are defending their land and their people than the sinners who are using their people as shields. That's just my standard, though.

The "human shield" defense is just Israeli spin to justify collective punishment and the massacre of civilians. In 2006, Israel bombed Lebanese population centers in the north, despite the fact that they knew all of Hezbollah fighers were in the south. Yesterday, a New York Rabbi summed Israeli philosophy regarding civilians in a nutshell.

quote:

When you are part of an election process that asks for a terrorist organization which proclaims in word and in deed that their primary objective is to destroy their neighboring country and not to build schools or commerce or jobs, you are complicit and you are not a civilian casualty.

Semites are an ethnicity, and the Jews are subrace of the Semitic race. What is so difficult to understand about this fact?

The Caucasoid Indo-European race has many subraces within it, such as the Celtic, Nordic, Slavic, Latin//Roman, Greco, Iberian, etc. Is that not a reality? Why is this even controversial in today's society?

Your sources are bad as mine. But 33.3=10 also what what the percentage in the 57% of land given to them? It's caked population density.

And of course they wanted a racially divided countries they weren't exactly getting along with the Arabs before then.

LINK

And they were exactly trusting of the rest of the world after WWII.

Also look at Iran that was partitioned with ij regard to demographics. The Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites have been going at each other for decades

Because today's society has modern population genetics and computers that can work out genetic distance, which clearly put the Ashkenazi population in the same clade as Europeans, as shown by the paper linked at the top of the page. Nobody outside of the arse end of Stormfront and "race realism" blogs uses your old-arse "Carleton Coon looks at a skull real hard" racial typologies, because they have no basis in fact.

Plus Indo-European is a language family, not a race. Putting Semites outside of that fork as their own "race" has less than no justification.

Why Does This Board Support Israel/Zionism?




27 pages on some shite that is pretty easy.


There are people who hate us and want us either dead or converted to Islam.

These same people hate Israel even more and want to wipe them off the face of the earth.

Israel has gotten fed up with their BS and rockets and such, so they are killing these people and doing a damn good job of it.

As such, since the Israelis are killing the people who want to kill me in due time ... I say, "Geaux Israel."


I cannot speak for the rest of the board.
