No, taking power over countries is not the answer to achieve world peace. There has to be change however this is not the answer. To teach children this is wrong. Religion cannot be forced upon anyone. Imagine if another religion forced you to change your beliefs, would you accept it, I think not.

Can I just say that something must have gone dreadfully wrong in my childhood upbringing?
Because I'm Jewish, see? Jewish born and bred, both sides of my family. And I'm a teenager now. I've been raised Jewish all my life, and no one... not my parents, not the members of my synagogue, have ever mentioned anything like this to me.
I guess I must have been excluded from the Secret Jewish Conspiracy.
I will tell you one thing, though. When it looked like the US was about to go to war with Iraq, I (and my parents, and a whole lot of other Jews) were standing on street corners, protesting, saying - what right do we have to invade? If, G-d forbid, we reach the same point with Iran, I'll be doing the same thing.
I'm for peace. I'm against imperialism. And from what I've read of the Torah, there's nothing supporting conquest.
As for your last sentence, I have no idea what you're even trying to say. Sorry about that. Maybe one of the Secret Jewish Conspirers can drop by and give you a copy of Strunk & White. Just 'cause we know where you live, and we're so intellectual, and all that.

I'm not sure you have your facts straight, but here goes.
I don't think any group of people should be able to go into any other country to take power. I do think all groups of people have the right to defend themselves. Everyone has the right to seek a better life.
Religion has been the cause of so many bad things in our world, throughout history. But, also, some good things. Although, I'm afraid the bad may outweigh the good. I'd have to do more research on that.
You seem bitter. Don't let it consume you.

No. Israel is the only country in the world founded on the basis of religion, not nationality. How can a group of people who share the same religion gather from all parts of the world - leaving their home countries - invade a country that is not theirs and take power over it? What is this supposed to create other than hatred, violence and terrorism?

You can't claim and cry you are being mistreated unless you can prove you haven't mistreated people yourselves. Where does all the fighting and hatred stop if it doesn't stop with you? (me). There has been sooooo much fighting for soooo long it is now impossible for anyone to say who is to blame for it all. OBVIOUSLY what you're doing doesn't work, so why don't you people (and I mean both sides) try being humble for a change? God makes it clear to all that He hates a proud and arrogant attitude. If you're so willing to be martyrs for your cause why not start by admitting you are wrong (both sides) regardless of what you lose? To you to lose your pride or home or Temple is nothing to God. Hasn't He made it clear that He will pay back ten fold to anything you give with humbleness and love? To be attached to any material thing and not be willing to give it up for the cause of peace and love, God views that attitude as hatefulness and will judge those people accordingly. If you fight expect to be fought with (both sides). It's not rocket science, pride (your pride and theirs) is of the devil. If you serve Satan with it, don't think you fool God.

YOu mean like what america does in Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afganistan???
I don't know where you get that crap about jewish kids being told that they have to go to other countries and perfrom genocide...
But I agree with you that I see most hate being spurred on by religious radicals... They need to get closer to god pretty damn quick...
I just heard that the moslem leaders in Mogadishu have banned watching the world cup because there is nothing about soccer in the koran...
I mean... I know soccer is a dumb game and all that but c'mon!!! a bunch of crazies running a country....

I am Jewish, and unequivocally what you wrote is wrong. Why the need to breed hate? Does it make you feel good about yourself or is it just to help your agenda? Jewish law is straight and to the point on this subject and speaks exactly the opposite of what you say.

Hate in the text, or hate instituted into the religion by sinful, confused men? BIG difference.

They've already done it in the U.S. They have a lot of money and power here, I mean the show biz is pretty much owned by Jews. As direct interpretation of that (religion and all that)... no.
