[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would distinguish between a nation and its current government.

Now more than ever, we should care about that.[/quote]

Israel was wrongfully created.

Ensuring the safety of Jews in all nations is one thing.[b] I would give my life for the religious liberty of all people[/b]. Creating a nationalist "homeland" on someone else's land is unconscionable. Zionism and Nazism are eerily similar. [/quote]

1) no you wouldn’t.

[b]2) Israel has been the ancestral land of Jews since shortly after they escaped slavery in Egypt. Jews have been living in what is now Israel 4000 years before Islam existed.[/b] [/quote]

1) Yes, I absolutely would. Who the hell are you to doubt me?

2) Who the hell cares? I don't believe in religion, but I'd defend your right to believe what you want. I would NOT defend your right to do what you want just because that's what your religion says. You don't get special dibs on a land just because random ancestors from many centuries ago lived there. That's not how humanity works.

So you don’t believe in religion, but would sacrifice your life so other people could have religious freedom?

Yeah….see, that’s why I doubt you.

The only things I’m willing to DIE for are the same things I’m willing to KILL for - my family, and my own life. Beyond that? Nope.

That’s why I doubt you. [/quote]

Then your selfishness is very telling.

But maybe you're one of those people that value "freedom for me, but not for thee."

Some of us have values that extend beyond our genetic links. I find your perspective very sad. But telling.
