Do you get pleasure trying to stop people from promoting peace?

Question

Do you see anyone who does not agree with you 100% as your enemy? Are you offended by messages of peace, love and unity?

First, I point out the actions of my fellow Jews, because I am a Jew, and I feel responsible for what my people do, I am included with them. It is referred to as compassion.

Second, I do not know whay you are asking me what they thoughts of Hamas are, I am a Jew, I have no idea what they think about. I care about the lives of Jew worldwide, and since Israel is the homeland of my people, I care for her and her people as they are both a part of me. So please do not mock my feelings of humanity, I can only point out what is wrong with me, my people, and what we do. I can not judge others.

Answer 1

I think that perhaps you are misunderstood by your peers, and this is why you have people respond to you in a negative way. They want the same peace that you do, they just would go about it in a different way. Do not take what anyone on YA says personally, it is difficult to communicate properly by just typing and reading, both for the sender and the receiver of the message. Just know that peace will come to the Middle East, it has to. Amen.

Answer 2

I'm glad that someone said that finally otherwise when I do, they treat me like an enemy as I'm not a Jew or not from Israel.
It's true, you proved you love your country and your people by trying to discuss peace. Still there are many others who I think they are the majority think in a different way. Peace for them is their peace only peace for them is to take what they want regardless of others. Still there are many people need to learn what's politics and it's not always using force. They need to learn how to understand and listen to opinions which they don't agree with. They have to learn that no 100% agreement with others to accept their opinions.

As a trial of your opinion look at the thumbs down I'm expecting.

Answer 3

i just wonder just who you think you're addressing with this question?? not everyone is adverse to peace, but of course i can only speak for myself, but i think that there are a large majority out there that think so too.so it's not fair to generalize ,as each person is an individual and is different.
but as for me , i think that anyone that is'nt with me just has a different view point, and i'm comfortable with that, but there are people who are taught that anyone that doesn't agree with you is an enemy.
messages are fine but there are others who are more cautious and are afraid of greeks(no offence to them)bearing gifts.and friend, you're not responsible for what someone else has done.
if you want to make a change, you have to start with one- yourself.
shalom and God bless,

Salam. I hope there is no any muslim to celebrate the valentine day It is haram for a muslim to follow the celebration of kafirs in this case the valentine day,In Islam love should be given each time,each day and there is no certain date We should respect,love and help each other as commanded by Allah in the Qur'an In line with sharia law we muslims are not allowed to follow kafir's activities.

Answer 5

Not at all. People have the right to their opinions and I respect that. I'm not offended by messages of the type you suggest.
HOWEVER, we may have a different viewpoint on what comprises those messages. Any unspecific untargeted blanket statement would be ok; for example, if someone's message was along the lines of "let's hope for peace in the Middle East", then I'd be completely fine with it. To contrast, if someone's message was "let's hope Israel stops its violent attacks for peace" then I would object.
If you are writing about your own messages, in my experience your postings have been more along the lines of the latter rather than the former.

Let's hope for peace in the Middle East.

EDIT: There's something I don't understand. The way you present things, you are a Jew not a Muslim or Arab, so you confine your critiques of the situation to that group to which you belong to. But this leaves me in a logical cunundrum. I fail to grasp the logic in critiquing only your side, but to do so to everybody and not only your own side. It seems like if you're giving an opinion TO the general populace you should give an opinion OF the general populace. Furthermore, on at least one occasion you deliberately (I assume. At least you didn't bother to correct yourself and apologize) misinformed the general populace about Israel.

As anyone who understands Hebrew can tell you, the attached video had nothing to do with Zionists vs Anti-Zionists, yet that is precisely what you stated it was.

I would also like to take this opportunity to agree with you about some things. For starters, I agree that Israelis have done bad things. For the most part there is no defense; some people did something bad. If it was up to me, I would put an end to as much as possible, For example, I do not in any way support settler violence. However, I think it unfair that you misinform people, and I think it wrong of you to take incidents out of context. One cannot analyze an incident without the context.

Answer 6

That is the problem with our own people, they don't agree with anything we say and they start with accussations. It's not that they see us as their 100% enemy, but they become our 100% enemy. If they get offended by messages of peace, love and unity, then they have serious issues to work with.

Answer 7

--"Do you get pleasure trying to stop people from promoting peace?"
If this "peace" is at the expense of my life, and lives of my children, and the very existence of my country, then the answer is yes I do.

--"Do you see anyone who does not agree with you 100% as your enemy?"
Never do, never did.

--"Are you offended by messages of peace, love and unity?"
Of course not. Peace, love and unity are my messages too, but I don't intend to have my family killed, butchered, beheaded, ripped apart, blown up, just to make these messages come true.


Do I want peace? YES! There is nothing I want more! Does any of the Hamas members want peace? Do they? Huh?


Edit:
"Mock your feelings of humanity" George? How are you supposed to act when someone is walking towards your house with a gun in their hand, yelling that they will kill you and your family. What are you supposed to do George? If your answer is "try to achieve peace with that person", than I feel sorry for you, and I question your "Jewishness"
My answer would be - shoot the bastard on the spot.

Answer 8

I'm not offended by messaged of peace and love.
I'm offended by sanctimoniousness and hypocrisy, especially when it comes from my fellow Jews.

[partial list]

Your messages are not messages of peace, dear George.
For some mysterious reason you attack this section with anti-Israel and anti-Israelis "questions" that contain nothing but baseless propaganda. Then you gore the answers that you don't like and reward the ones you do.
Now you rebuke "us" (the malicious Zionists?) for being narrow-minded and violent; oh, the irony.

Dear George, people who want peace try to understand BOTH sides of the conflict. People who want peace don't spend their days accusing other people; they leave their religious and political views aside and most importantly- they practice what they preach.

Answer 9

No , No & not at all !

Without discussion & debate we will never find peace . We all need to discuss with balance , fairness & a sense of hope for the future !
Life in our region is stressful for all & surely noone wants this to continue for generation after generation as in the past !

Answer 10

I understand how you feel.
