Jews? Israelis? Zionists? Orthodox? Has anybody else had a similar experience?

Question

I grew up in a small town. About 10,000 in habitants. In this town we had many different peoples and cultures. Among us we had a smattering of Jews. As a group these Jews were probably the most respected of all. Why? Because they were hard-working, helpful, intelligent, tolerant and generally an example to the others. When I got older I went to high school in a bigger city where there a small group of Jews too. I became close friends with one of them and I can honestly say that he taught me many good things. Gentle things. Not in a sissy way, but in a manly way. (He died in his twenties of multiple schlerosis, which was NOT FAIR) One thing I remember very clearly is that he once took on three of the 'school bullies' single-handedly, and after a battle that Rambo could not win, beat the living sh*t out of them.
Then I went to university in a big city, and there they were. More gentle, cultured, nice, honest people.

Then all hell broke loose in the Middle East, and I discover another people who also call themselves 'Jews'. But what a shock! These Jews were just the opposite of ‘my’ Jews.
And what they are doing now in the Middle East is a disgrace to humanity! Recently I had the opportunity of speaking to one of my Jewish university class-mates, and this once gentle and intelligent human being has now become one of them. ‘They attacked us first!’ and ‘Muslims are trying to exterminate us!’ I looked into his eyes and saw madness.
Has anybody else had a similar experience?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ‘JEWS’?

Panacea. I asked for an answer, not for your gibberish!

Rick M: Don't worry. I don't have 'Jewish buddies' anymore. I don't mix with 'loonies'.
If they think they can get away with masacres, they have a big surprise coming.

Answer 1

I know many orthodox Jews and they are pretty much like you said but you are equating Zionism with Judaism and you cant do that for not all Jews are Zionist and not all Zionist are Jews, Israel is not a state of Judaism it is a state of Zionism, many of the biggest Zionists in America are christian groups who are want Israel to continue what they are doing, and for them to rebuild the Temple Mount which will bring the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus who will take the faithful to heaven

Answer 2

the same question can be asked of any group of people living in America: Irish, Indians, MUSLIMS, etc. Generally speaking, after a generation or so in America, whatever hatreds a particular group has for another are generally forgotten, owing to the relative insulation of living here, the general attitude of tolerance, etc. In no group of people is this more prevalent than amongst the Muslims. Everytime you hear from an Imam or whatever speaking about how Islam is a peaceful religion, its always an American Imam (or possibly from some other Western country, its all the same). The bottom line is, American Islam and Judaism is not the same as the Middle Eastern versions of these religions, just as American Catholicism is not the same as European Catholicism.

Answer 3

Israel is the only country in the world that accepts Judaism as their main religion, the only place where the Jews are not a minority. Now comparable to the other religions and land that they have Israel is microscopic. So when another group of people attempt to come and take that away from them then there is and should be problems. The horror they have received form neighboring countries and terrorists, should be taken care of and is something to be taken seriously, and at this point military force is needed.

Answer 4

lol, In fairness to the numerous christians in this internet site, you have generalized your question too lots, additionally they have, very just about each and every sect of their faith have condemed the jews for jesus team. The Messianics Jews are our concern alongside with the Chabad Messianics no longer theirs. additionally certainty is Messianic Jews do no longer work together in changing fellow Jews to any extent further than the Chabad Messianics do. I even have a much bigger concern with Reform Jews tagging with pagans and how they arrive to a decision who's Jewish, greater then I do those 2 Messianic communities interior of Judaism. Orthodox Jewish sister Edit to Kate: exciting reaction long, yet exciting. You strengthen valued factors around the board. some thing we ought to constantly all evaluate, properly performed sister!!!

Answer 5

No i havn't had a smiliar experience, but this war between Judism and Islam is a very old one, and both sides are probably taught from a very young age about how evil the other is. So it doesn't surprise me that you gentle Jews turned into the militants in Israel.

Answer 6

Nothing happened to them. Something has happened to you. You have been hypnotized by liberal, anti-semitism. You now see someone who fights back when demonic savages kill their loved ones, as evil. Your opinion is that they should simply accept their fate and lie down and die. Shame on you.

Don't you understand that liberals are scum? Can't you see how they always take the side of murderers and worse while working tirelessly to detroy our country? They have worked politically to prevent the US and other countries from intervening in every genocide since (and including) World War II. The "peace movement" is as phony as a $3 bill. Seriously. Attend a rally sometime and see all the hate speech going on and all the people wearing communist symbols running amok. These are BAD people.

And you are listening to them and believing them as they demonize your friends. When will you wake up to what they are doing? When Hezbollah drops nukes supplied by Iran on Israel, killing everyone?

Answer 7

You don't have a clue. The Israeli's are doing the world's dirty work. Why do you think we (The US) are not stopping them? Why aren't other countries stopping them? They're not, they're letting this war continue. Hezbollah needs to be gotten rid of and the Israeli's are the only one's with balls to do it!

Answer 8

The Jews are not going to lie down and let islam destroy them.

Answer 9

If African-Americans are not responsible for what happens in Africa, then Jewish-Americans are not responsible for what happens in the Middle East.

Answer 10

Jews let people walk all over them once, it was called the Holocaust. Never again. We let them attack first, enough is enough, I say. What do YOU think we should do, lie back and let them kill more of our people. Should we do nothing at all?
