And just exactly who would you be to say to me that the words of G-d, and G-d himself, have nothing to do with me? Such ungodly chuzpah!
you're right, jews are much better off playing victims than taking care of thier own destiny, Israel is a country with evrything that a country encompasses , from all the diversity of its population. crimes of passion, murders, corruption, theft were always part of any country, even old Israel , but so are rightousness, saving lives, progress , gmilout hassadim, taking card of one another, sharing wealth all of wich are as well part of today Israel. renouncing on Zionism is renoucing on life and if you like so much life in a ghetto , and covering your eyes , you can live in mea shearim, ( Israel tolerates that as well). but by covering your eyes , it doesnt mean that reality doesnt happen in front of you. you can practise the politics of the ostrich(putting your head in the sand to ignore the imminent danger) or you can take a stand and change wht you dont like, we welcome your suggestions.
Hanna: Let the palestinians victims and palestinians murderers rest in peace, don't refer to the Bible and G-d of Israel that don't belong to you.
Such a lovely creation that you zionists have built on the theft of Palestinian lands: how different are you really from your old haunts of Sodom and Gomorrah? Do you not fear the Wrath of G-d? Upon much consideration, I really do feel that you should.
