6/16 Last question on Israeli/Palestinian issue. This is a question
\_ Hah! Haha! Hahaha!
for those who are in support of Israel:
One of the justification for the Israel is that it is a land promised
by God. However, based upon my limited knowledge, God has promised
a land which is a lot a lot bigger than the current Israel even if
Westbank AND Gaza Strip are included. My question is 1. Are
majority of Israeli desire to claim the rest of the promised land
eventually? 2. For those American / American Jews who support of
Israel, would you support Israel if Israel use this as an excuse
initiate invasion of, let say Jordan, Syria and other neighbors so
the promise in the Bible can be fulfilled?
\_ TROLL!
\_ I would imagine that a vast majority of Israelis do not have the
extreme viewpoint of the whole Promised Land justification.
They just want peace.
\_ TROLL!
\_ Cmon now. Like any faith they will interpret or ignore the facts
to fit their 'word of God'. 1. No, the settler types are few,
maybe just over 100k, and are viewed as fringe. Israel is a very
secular country on many levels, don't make the mistake of
thinking that Israel's "jewishness" is all about religion --
jewishness is a complex mix of ethnicity, culture, and religion.
Most Israelis are not religious. 2. Learn English. --aaron
\_ You are down playing the role of religion on this. Hate
to say this, but the way Israeli evicting Palestinians are
pretty similar to the way Nazi evictings Jews just a decade
earlier. Their main "justification" for it *IS* that it is
"THEIR" land promoised by GOD. Further, if religion is not
an issue, then, why Israel want Jerusalem so bad?
-- OP
\_ You know, it's sad enough already that Godwin's Law
pops up so often, but it's even more pathetic when people
start trolling just for the sake of starting an argument
in which they can (yet again, sigh) prove it. -John
