Are American Jews fed up with Israel?
 

Interesting.

:2 cents:

Norman Finkelstein represents the view of 0.05% Jews. He is as respectable as a black man who becomes the spokesman for the KKK.

Are Americans finally fed up with Israel?

The easier question would be, are Israelis fed up with Americans?

Finkelstein is a genius!

The actions of Israel, UK and the USA do not represent the majority of the population in those nations.

Here's an American Jew voicing his opinions in Israel


These Jews stand against Zionists

The tiny numbers of Jews who are "fed up" with Israel will be wondering where in the world they will be able to run to, when the latest wave of rising anti-semitism in the world crashes through their own doors, and they realize that no other government in the world is going to protect them, and that there is no where else to go....

What do most American Jews think? Is it America first, or Israel first?

The Rockefellers were considering moving Israel to Arizona and giving every Israeli $1 Million

It sounds like the chickens are coming home to roost.

:2 cents:

I disagree to the extent that world Jews will only have one place to go, Israel. I don't believe in my lifetime at the very least that Jews have to leave America, Canada, Scandinavian countries, etc...

Do you consider the Haredi Judaism to be anti-semite because they are anti-zionist?

Not by way of debate here, but just for your own info, the kid in the first video traveled to Israel specifically so that he could protest the actions of the country, not to find out anything for himself, but just to protest.

As for the second video, these are sects of chabbah haridim that believe that Israel should not exist, based on obscure religious interpretations of the Torah. They are a very small sect of wackos that throw rocks at women who wear short skirts and people driving their cars on Shabbat. Meanwhile they live off of government handouts so that they can read the Torah all day every day.

Regardless of your opinion of Israel, I'm just saying that these videos are not exactly representative of much.

I beg to differ.

When I go down to SoCal with family we go down to The Grove, and in that area is a Jewish section - very old school, lots of Jewish men with long beards. It's odd to see in Modern America.

If you study the Holocaust at all, you understand Israel's position. Never before in history has any one race been threatened with their very existence. And this is why Israel exists now - to give a safe place to the Jews.

American Jews are just that - American -and frankly don't give a shit about the rest of the world. They feel safe in the US and don't live in fear like the country of Israel does.

I'm not saying I condone their actions, I'm just saying I understand.

You mean like the Native Americans right?

While I can understand your "plight of the jew", they are not the only race/class in history who'e been threatened. I suppose the difference is you had one man (i.e. Hitler) behind it all.

That being said, I think the fundamental difference here is that one is more recent and the jew constantly remind us of the Holocaust versus the Native American. The Native Americans do not wield the media power of the jew.

I personally dont care who is jewish and who is not jewish. I also dont care where jewish or non jewish people live in relation to other people.

I do care if there is hatred for someone because of a religion or a race based on nothing but old fears and misinformation and whatnot. Just get the hell over it and realise it could just as easily be you being messed with for reasons you dont agree with.

It's 2012, not 12.

Actually it's been going on pretty consistently for the last 2 thousand years, not just mass exterminations, but confinement to ghettos, expulsion, torture, murder, etc, etc, etc... Really Hitler is just one spectacular example. I'm sure that if the Spanish inquisition, the Crusaders, the Moors, or the organizers of the great Pogroms, had had the technology that Hitler did, they could have done just as good of a job. Hell, during the Bubonic plagues, even the Swiss decided to blame the Jews and went around murdering and driving out any they could find...



.:2 cents:

no one in a modern society is going to care if someone is jewish or not besides a small number of white supremacist types. sure the middle east will always hate jewish people but like i said, modern society, not people stuck in the dark ages. jewish people always looking for what might be viewed as 'anti-Semitic' when looked at from certain angles doesn't help but hurt them, just like black people always on the defense of what might be construed as racist.

Sadly in regards to the "plight of the jew".... it was not as if they were always innocent and were just being kicked around for 2000 years. Any history book can show you BOTH sides of those issues. Especially in regards to the Romans, and Palestine.

That being said, my point was that other races and religions have had their share of persecution through the centuries. As a matter of fact, some is still going on today over in Africa as an example.

The difference here is that the jew wield the media to keep their voice, point of view, and causes up in your face. Others do not have that luxury.

Fuck Israel...! Nuke them fucks before they cause World War III...!

How about people chasing one down the street to beat you up in the UK, yelling "Get the Yid!". Is that anti-semitic, or was I being too sensitive? (Or perhaps the UK is not a modern society? LOL)

Anyway, I hope you're right, but I fear you are being a bit naive about this. In any case lets hope, but since I count the 20th century as "modern times", I'm keeping my powder dry and my options open. :)

I always wonder about people that talk about racism and anti-religious zealots often. I go about my daily business and never even think about that stuff. Never even crosses my mind. I go to the store and see a guy wearing a turban and my first thought is "I wonder what food he is buying, might be worth trying."

Politics, religion? Both great ways to keep the followers hating each other.

wasn't there a stat a couple years back that American Jews are the biggest supporters of organizations that are seen as undermining to Israel?

I know I've come across a few jews, some religious, who couldn't care less about Israel or what happens to it and saw them as abusers of the Palestinians.

I wonder if it shows a separation of politics too, maybe they were comprised of liberal jews (anti-war) vs conservative jews.

I don't know. I haven't met many people that run around screaming "I hate Jews." I hear "I hate Mexicans" nonstop and I highly doubt any country is going to force those of Mexican heritage back to Mexico.

That had to be a typo.

Turn on the International news. WW III is not going to start because of Israel; think Arab Spring.

Correct.

I will be 40 this year, and I can't say I have heard that often myself. At least in my personal life that is. Where do I hear about it? In the media. It seems there is always some article, movie, tv show, or something talking about the anti-semitism of this or that.

Where I actually here this disdain is for the Paki, Indian, Arabs, Muslims, etc. locally. However, in the past I have heard it about the blacks to some degree. We have a decent number of Mexicans, Japanaese and Koreans around as well.

That being said, out of all the different local ethnic groups or choices for racists, I can't say I hear about hatred for "the jew" ranking in the top 10. By contrast in the media, or movies, you hear about it constantly as if they were the only group who's ever had anything done to them throughout history.

It tends to get old with the "look at me" media coverage.

:2 cents:

Israeli diplomacy and politics would certainly be a lot different if the United States did not have their back. In 10 years my son will be legal age, I do not want him conscripted to go over to the Middle East to clean up a fucking mess that has been going on for centuries. I'm not interested in sending my tax dollars over there either. In fact, I'm not interested in them at all. There will never be peace in the Middle East. They've had plenty of time to settle their differences. They do not want to.

Israel has it's own place at the head of my "musgt see" list, however Israel would be better off without "Far right/zionism" imho :2 cents:

When was the last time we had a draft?

Why don't you move there now?

Excellent Points Fine Sire
 

hahahahahahas!

Yeah, because we took the Native Americans and killed a million of them a year.

Volume isn't the focus, intent is the focus. Genocide is genocide.

If you want to talk about volume, 20 million Chinese and 23 million Soviets died during World War II. Around 6 million Jews died.

Exactly. Summed up perfectly.

:thumbsup

Actually, if you want to look at Native American volume: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocid...tes_of_America

I'm so sick of jews whine-ing about the holocaust...they are the biggest racists in the world, they have an apart-heid double standard state where everybody non jewish is basically a 2nd grade citizen but all I hear is whine whine whine....

Man if so many people, during the course of history, were out to get you so many times, then there MUST be a reason for it :2 cents:

if america cut off aid that hunk of shit country the size of nj would wither away like a severed nut sack

Latest wave of anti semetism? BS. One does not have to hate jews to be sick & tired of israels politics. Hate is a strong word but you have to admit those ZZ top impersonators are very annoying.
ds

jews are a religion not a race. this is how stuff gets distorted.

ds

And Khmer Rouge? Child's play.

hahahahahahaS!

There are ethnic Jews and religious Jews, I would like to post a big explanation to this, I might do later, but in a rush now.

the only way to tell a jew from another human based on dna is from all the inbreeding that has gone on. Ergo tay sachs (spelling) aside from that there is no difference. Calling jews ethnic, we might as well call hillbillies ethnic southerners. It's a religion. Nothing more.

It's pretty badly noticeable.
