No one from ANY religious organization or my parents or relatives or anyone else has ever said anything to me about Jews. Other than my sister. The ones she worked for would let their jewish employees off for different occasions but not the gentiles. Well, and my sister in law who owns a cleaning company and two of her clients are Jewish couples. She says they are both nasty. As in dirty, slovenly, etc.. Well, and my first landlord. His name was Leo Weber. You could barely understand him his German accent was so thick. Now this was like 40 years ago and he was an old man. He was in Germany when Hitler was in charge. I asked him why Hitler killed the jews. He told me Hitler didn't kill the jews. He just gave the Germans free reign to kill them and then sent trains around to pick up the bodies. I asked him why the German people hated jews. He said for the same reason everyone hates them. They're greedy, they only do business with other jews, they take over neighborhoods, etc...You have already spoken on your protestant background. Ten years ago I would've rabidly defended you on the Israel stuff cause I am from a protestant background also and that is the propaganda there. I didn't grow to hate jews in that time, I just grew to realize the modern state of Israel is not the chosen nation of the bible i.e there is no legitimate biblical basis for their return. I can't believe you stooped to saying I hate jews though, that's messed up smh.
Anyway, I digress. Nothing about what you are referring to as protestantism has anything to do with my opinions on Israel. And really, my opinions on Israel have almost nothing to do with Jewry. It's more about my respect for their tenacity, skill, weapons and refusal to let the world liberals and the UN force them into extinction.
I don't believe Jews are the chosen people. Not at all. Nor do I think the world owed them the land we call Israel. Actually I think the world gave them Israel to keep them all from coming to their countries after WW2. In fact I'm certain of it.
As for saying you hate Jews. I apologize. I shouldn't have said that. I don't think you hate Jews. I don't think you hate anyone. Or rather I think you try very hard to love everyone. What I should have said was that you seem, at times, quick to blame Israel for things I don't think they deserve the blame for. Now is there a deep down thing about Jews based on your religion, I can't say man. Maybe. I mean we all have biases. I think Acceptance more than you is on the lookout for anything he can use to validate his desire for Israel being the monsters he claims they are. Sometimes you ( and other people here, not just you man) go along with it. And again, I ain't really holding that against anyone.
I might have been trying to poke you in the eye a little. And I apologize for that.
