Why is so much hate being expressed by some for the Jewish people?

Nov 3, 2009 5:35 AM
The Jewish people are a proud people. They have suffered greatly over generations. They have been the victim of hate and genocide by a madman during WWII while people stood by and did nothing. They again will not go peacefully to the grave at the will of another madman. This current madman is the leader of a nation who appears bent on developing nukes and it is believed by many that these nukes will be used to once again make the Jewish people the victim of another genocide. This cannot be allowed by the free world and the Jewish people are correct in their postion to bomb Iran if needed to protect their nations and their people.

During WWII, the Jewish people more or less turned their other cheek and were naive about what Hitler was attempting to do. They shurgged aside the hate others felt for them. They have now lost that naiveness and our now a strong nation themselves. They will stand and fight. They will not go to the grave and become a victim of genocide again by another madman with a warped since of purpose and destiny.

So, to the Jewish people, if required, flush the bombers. The great majority of America will stand with you. You are a great nation and many other great nations of the free world will stand with you.

I don't love or hate them or anyone else as a group. I've known a lot of Jews. Worked with many. Done business with many. Some are good people. Others are idiots. I deal with the 'person', not the 'people'.

That said, I don't think much of the Israeli government and I don't really care if the country of Israel exists or not.

I wish I could post what I think, but I have to tread lightly on this OP's threads.

"I don't really much care if the country of Israel exist or not"

I think that pretty much would put you in the minority of the people of this great nation and how they feel about the Jewish State and most likely you would be considered less than supportive of the great nation of Israel and it's people.

How about Iran, do you care if that country exist or not?

You do watch my threads carefully and those that reply. You always seem to show up with basically the same approach.

Would not have any idea of what happens to some of those that reply do you? A wise game you play. Divert attention and blame to another, then play innocent of what is being done so blame goes to another. However, you are leaving tracks just as you just did.

Like comfortably_numb, I deal with the individual more than the group, but I very much believe that Israel has a right to exist and I do care about it, as well as the Jewish people. That said, I have known many Iranians living in Iran and also here in the US, and most were very pro-American and more like us than most other Middle Eastern people I have known. A childhood friend of mine is married to an Iranian doctor here in our community, and he is a wonderful husband, father, and doctor, and a dear friend of ours. He is not proud of his country at all. It's a shame they have such a stinko government in Iran! I dread the day war breaks out between Iran and Israel, but I don't see Israel's existence as a valid reason for Iran to attack them. I hope Israel beats the carp out of Iran if they attack!

Hi kaylas

I agree. The people of Iran are not our enemies. However, many of their leaders are both our enemy and the enemy of Israel.

Taken that into account, the people of Iran must find a way to remove their leaders who intends upon destroying Israel. If they do find a way to live in peace with Israel, they will become a victim of their own government actions and death will result in many innocent Iranian's.

Iran's been around for centuries, maybe longer in one form or another. Israel's been around for about 50-60 years. The U.S. for less than 300.


I don't see how we have any right to tell Iran anything.

Maybe not. But their vow to annihilate Israel should not be ignored just because Israel (and the US) is younger than Iran. The Iranian leaders are crazy, if you ask me, and the world should not stand by and let them wipe Israel off the map.

#10,

That may be true, although the International Community as a whole does have the right to take Iran to task for their ongoing statements that they want to eliminate Israel.

Being an old country does not grant you the right to say and do things like that. There is no "seniority" in that sense.

> The Iranian leaders are crazy, if you ask me
Exactly, and there is a huge difference between the government and the people/culture. I've known a few Iranians in my day. They were educated, intelligent and very good people.

It's a shame that your doctor friend is not proud of his country, which in fact has a long and wonderful history. Perhaps he can be proud of the people and the country, while not being proud of the current government.

You said it better than I said it, DSM. He is ashamed of the current government. He was educated in this country, with the intent of going back, but he married and started a family here and....well, he is a Catholic now, a pillar of the community. We probably wouldn't let him go home now! LOL!

That's interesting. When I was in college, I knew a girl from Sri Lanka. Her parents didn't want her to come here at first. They were afraid that she'd meet some American boy, fall in love with him, and stay here. Well, that's exactly what happened in her case, too! :)
