Thanks for the essay, friend. Thing is, like none of what you wrote pertains at all to what I was talking about. forget, half of it (that Israel hosts a wide variety of religions, for example) kinda support what I was getting at. What I meant was that if his town was living was turning into Israel, not a whole lot would change besides the amount of Jews everywhere. Honestly I just thought it was funny.
When you called Israel a "Jewish state", that told me that you thought that Israel was exclusively a Jewish state. That's what it sounded like, unless that's not what you meant. Also that's true, as most Jews are very secular and there is no such thing as "advertising" the religion in Judaism. You don't see Jews with signs in public places asking others to convert, unlike Jehovah's Witness people. If someone is not following one of our practices, that's none of our business and we move along. Keep in mind that Israel is 50% Atheist. Also everything I am saying pertains to what you've said. There is a profound difference between Muslims and Jews in terms of secularism and acceptance.
The only exception are with the Ultra-Orthdox sect of Jews, they're a very small population and they're as radical as many of the Sunni Muslims.
"I don't support Israel but..."
"I don't support Donald Annoying Orange but..."
we all know you're a zionist that supports Annoying Orange lol
"I don't support Israel"
Yes, that would mean that I am not a Zionist, genius.
"I don't support Donald Annoying Orange"
I do not support Donald Annoying Orange, what part of that implies that I do?! You know, you ought to try a little harder if you think you're going somewhere with this. In any event, virtually every presidential candidate running is for Israel. That doesn't make them a Zionist. I'm not for Israel, but if I had to pick between Iraq, Palestine and Israel - I would pick Israel.
