George Galloway Full of Crap When He Says Jews have no right to be in Palestine

...How about you taking a look at things with a bit more perspective, Foofie. Since Jews have not been able to get along with neighbors ANYWHERE...is it not possible they bear some of the responsibility for that inability?

And, Zionism's primary cause was Christian anti-Semitism for two-thousand years. Europeans learned their lesson well from European Christianity, mostly Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. That is just a fact. 

Luther was rabidly antisemitic, more than any popes, many of whom protected Jews from persecutions. And the CC did hide and protect Jews during the holocaust, so you're being grossly unfair to Rome.

if more people felt like me, there would be fewer intermarriages between Jews and Christians. That too is good, in my opinion. I actually like my gene pool.

I thought you wanted to marry a Gentile boy... Changed your mind?

Don't know really, guess I understood about foofie being sort of hateful, (actually I am kind of surprised at it)since you mentioned it, just responded to your post. I apologize if it offends you in some way.

On the question of the topic, I don't know history, but, wasn't Jews in the area before there was a state of Israel

and didn't they all get along pretty well with the Arabs and others who were also in the area.

It seems to me, the whole problem was creating a state of Israel.

The Jews of the Holocaust should have been treated as refugees like we do when there are other ethnic cleansings in other places. Or some other solution, not really smart enough to know, but surely there was another answer.

Actually, Martin Luther first thought all Jews should convert to Protestantism. When they snubbed his offer, he reacted like a human and became an anti-Semite. 

I am heterosexual, but socially liberal for others.

Oh, you mean Jews, being a successful minority should not offend the sensitive level of self-esteem, of the lower echelon of Gentile society, by pandering to their collective ego? Yes, I guess in that case Jews are the problem, since they are the same stiff necked Hebrews that Yul Brynner in the Ten Commandments (as the Pharoh) referred to them. Yes, Jews cannot be insular, or the sensitive Gentile masses get offended. In that case, bring on the sensitive Gentile masses, so I can snub them into a teeth grinding delerium.

Love thy neighbor. Ha!

I think you shouldn't take foofie's words as an attitude of the Jewish people as a whole, despite how she seems to feel it is her right to be a representative so to speak for all Jews everywhere, at least that is the impression I am getting from these posts of hers.

Do you think Hitler was similarly misunderstood? He "reacted like a human" too, no?

Okay...so you are saying that Jews bear no responsibility for being unable to get along with neighbors anywhere.

I see.

That may be part of the problem!

Misunderstood" is not the meaningful question. The only question, in my opinion, is whether Jews need to live in their own homeland to avoid the very human emotion of envy and hate. Apparently, they are in their own homeland, and from the inception, hate was there. So, a modern military is a good antidote to hate directed at one's country.

Being a good neighbour is the smart thing to do, but apparently you guys aren't very smart.
