Jewish people, is it offensive to declare me hate to Israel or you can understand that my hate is political?

Question

When I say I hate Israel, I really don't mean I hate Jewish. I just want to know how you would perceive it.

sorry for the typo
me = my

Israel has Arabs, Muslims, and Christians, not only Jewish, remember.

Softspot, sorry, but I don't share same views as yours. It's not their homeland, it was not given by God Almighty, and I have the right to hate whomever I want to hate.

The Question here is not for Christians as I don't care about your opinion. The question here is for non-Zionists Jewish who I care not to offend when expressing my opinion against Israel.

Do you expect an Arab Muslim to love Zionists?

Answer 1

I'm Jewish and it's not offensive to me. Zionism (support of Israel) is political and Judaism is religious. I don't agree with your opinion of Israel, but I can understand why you feel the way you do. Your feelings aren't racist or intolerant; they're just your political views.

Answer 2

Not everybody in Israel supports what the government does, any more than everybody in the US supports what THEIR government does. I think to say that you hate an entire country is a bit bigoted, not to mention naive. Since so many people in Israel ARE Jewish, even though Israel is not a theocracy, to many saying that you hate Israel is very much taken as saying you hate Jews. Perhaps you should simply speak more precisely, and say that you hate what Israel is doing.

Answer 3

No, it is neither acceptable nor understandable by me.

You have, of course, every right to "hate" whomever you want, even though it's really stupid, and it won't offend me a bit, as I really don't care. But "hating" a whole bunch of people whom you don't know and "hating" an amorphous thing such as a state is just stupid and unnecessary.
I totally understand disagreement or disapproval to one's actions and policy, but it does not justify hatred. Hatred comes from a far dipper place of ignorance and prejudice, so don't try to make your sayings sound more liberal by using the "political hatred" excuse.

I do not expect you a thing, Arab Muslim or not.
But I can tell you that I, a Jewish ~rational~ person, do not "hate" the Palestinians, nor Iran, Iraq et cetera.
I know that most of the Arab Muslim people whom I met were very warm and kind to me, and I know that Iran, for example, is a beautiful country. But I totally object these people's/ countries' actions, and I totally oppose their regime, policy and intentions.

If you're looking for empathy and understanding to your hatred you came to the wrong place. I do not reckon that any Jew who care for his nation's dignity will approve your well-built thesis about justified hatred to Israel.

Answer 4

I do not understand you use of grammar here.I am not Jewish but I am offended by anyone who says that they "hate" Israel,the Jewish people or the GOD of Israel. Hate is a very strong word and I bet that you have no REAL reason to hate these people or their government. If you are referring to the fact that the Jewish people have reclaimed THEIR homeland then you are out of line because GOD ALMIGHTY gave them that land and NO ONE has the right to supersede what HE has done. If you are complaining about the Arabs who live in Israel's Gaza Strip and the so called "West Bank" then you have to admit that these Arabs are treated MUCH better in Israel than they are treated in the countries where they really belong. ERETZ YISRAEL!!!!!

Answer 5

Look at a map, and try to find a friendly country surrounding Israel. Everyone of those countries would like Israel to sink into the Mediterranean. You might want to re-think your hatred of a Country less than the size of New Jersey surrounded by giant enemies.

Answer 6

dear MS. pretty , ur question is pretty good:), but u forget that u are talking to the most stubborn ppl (the Jewish) , they don't care about the death of THOUSANDS of innocent of Palestinians , and they way they are murdering , when muslims entered jeursalim they didn't kill the thousands of the land ppl or , took them out of their homes ......etc like the isrealines do now !!!!!

when i read some of their answers i was wondering of one thing " where are those ppl' hearts ???what land that is theirs??!!

and sister i really believe in the same idea , that not all jewish are bad HOWEVER i really hate Israel too!!

peace to ppl who love and want peace!!!!

thanks.

Answer 7

depends on the context. often people criticize israel as a way to criticize jews. (a point made clear by martin luther king jr.)

but if you truly do not hate jews, but hate the politics behind the state of israel, that would not necessarily bother us.

cheerio

Answer 8

Israel is the heart of every Jew, and the hate of Israel, regardless what disqualifiers you make, is a hate of the Jewish people.

Answer 9

Okay you hate israel. Why? and how can you hate a place but not most of the people who live there, not everyone there thinks like there goverment you know.

Answer 10

then change your angle. instead of hating Israel (which includes all women, men, children) start telling people you "aggressively disagree with Israels current political policies".

that way you will sound informed and semi intelligent rather that just being a confused hating bigot.
