No, it didn't refer to them as Semitic by name. I never said that it did. I am using that term to refer to the people who hailed from the region of the Middle East.
I'm not religious, but I would say being religiously compelled to return to your biblical holy land is as good a claim as any. Our claim to the US was 'god told us to do it'. So...
The only people who see Jews as a race rather than a religion are the fundy Jews and those who want to eradicate them. The rest of us could give a fuck.
Did I say "the Bible mentioned them as Semitic people." No, I didn't. No, I said "Semitic people mentioned in the Bible." In other words, people who hailed from the region where Israel is today.
So I guess we are in agreement then there. But at least the "fundy" Jews (most of them) are vocal opponents of zionism. The secular Jews believe they have some claim to the land of Israel, but they won't say what.
So do you have something against the Khazars? What kind of Jews are preferable compared to other Jews?
No I said the fundamentalists and those who want to exterminate them. Looking around it seems you've been elected to the latter. I'm sorry I missed the vote.
Who, me?? No, I don't have anything against anyone. But I think it's important to understand the root of the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and how those who ask REAL questions are often silenced with terms like "anti-Semite."
Any mention of Israel and the ideology behind it which isn't complimentary these days is thought "anti-semitic."
Trust me. You don't have to deny the holocaust to be labelled anti-semitic. I've been labelled anti-semitic for criticizing Israel's politics and the ideology behind it plenty of times.
Well that's the gentleman here. I criticize Israels policies and have yet to be called antisemitic. Perhaps you're debating stupid people.
90% of Jews aren't Khazars... no matter what Matt's crazy ass says. Secular Jews claim Israel because THEY LIVE THERE, no other reason. The Bible, or even Zionism have little to nothing to do with it now. The people are there, the people are to stay, and the people want peace.
