Gee, maybe if those boneheads did not attack Isreal in June perhaps the Jews would not be so trigger happy. If your surrounded by people who seek your destruction, your tend to be a little nervous.
I know, everybody hates Israel and the Jews right? That’s what they keep telling us anyway. It’s hard to keep calling yourself a “victim” while you brutalize the surrounding countryside and expand your territory.
The attacks on Israel are in retaliation for what Israel DOES…

Iran’s proud but discreet Jews
BBC
22 September 2006
Although Iran and Israel are bitter enemies, few know that Iran is home to the largest number of Jews anywhere in the Middle East outside Israel…
It is not a sight you would expect in a revolutionary Islamic state, but there are synagogues dotted all over Iran where Jews discreetly practise their religion…
These days anti-Jewish feeling is periodically stirred by the media.
Whatever they say abroad is lies - we are comfortable in Iran - if you’re not political and don’t bother them then they won’t bother you

Mr Hammami says state-run television confuses Zionism and Judaism so that “ordinary people may think that whatever the Israelis do is supported by all Jews”…
Despite the offence Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has caused to Jews around the world, his office recently donated money for Tehran’s Jewish hospital.
It is one of only four Jewish charity hospitals worldwide and is funded with money from the Jewish diaspora - something remarkable in Iran where even local aid organisations have difficulty receiving funds from abroad for fear of being accused of being foreign agents…
“In the last five years the government has allowed Iranian Jews to go to Israel freely, meet their families and when they come back they face no problems,” says Mr Mohtamed.
He says there is also a way for Iranian Jews who emigrated to Israel decades ago to return to Iran and see their families.
“They can now go to the Iranian consul general in Istanbul and get Iranian identity documents and freely come to Iran,” he says.
The exodus of Jews from Iran seems to have slowed down - the first wave was in the 1950s and the second was in the wake of the Iranian Revolution.
I assume you support suicide bombing and radom killing of jews in Isreal, because after all, Jeruselem belongs to the muslims. Kill the jew kill the infadel!!!
I don’t condone violence from either side.
The real story is Israel makes life so miserable for the Palestinians that some of them realize they have no future and become suicide bombers out of desperation and vengeance rather than continue to suffer grief, humiliation and starvation.
Israel, in turn, attacks whole villages, destroys power plants, blankets entire cities with cluster bombs and occupies and steals neighboring land and calls it justifiable “self-defense” – all while reminding everyone how “victimized and vulnerable” they are.
And what makes someone truly Jewish anyway? It doesn’t seem so well defined to me.
Anger as rabbis demand boy be recircumcised

A boy on the verge of his bar mitzvah was told he was not properly circumcised and therefore was not Jewish.
Hopefully the Rabbis not old school BTW
Risky circumcision

Imagine the horror if word got out they weren’t really all that special after all…
Journal axes gene research on Jews and Palestinians
The Observer
November 25, 2001
A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal.
Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away.
Such a drastic act of self-censorship is unprecedented in research publishing and has created widespread disquiet, generating fears that it may involve the suppression of scientific work that questions Biblical dogma…
In common with earlier studies, the team found no data to support the idea that Jewish people were genetically distinct from other people in the region. In doing so, the team’s research challenges claims that Jews are a special, chosen people and that Judaism can only be inherited…
One of them said: ‘If Arnaiz-Villena had found evidence that Jewish people were genetically very special, instead of ordinary, you can be sure no one would have objected to the phrases he used in his article. This is a very sad business.’

Why throw slanted media reports at me? I can do the same thing amplifying arab/radical muslim brutality all day long. I’d say that is a waste of time.
The bottom line is this. If all attacks on Israel were stopped, Israel would not attack anybody in reaction. There for the tit-for-tat conflict would stop. It will not stop because the agenda is not peace; it is to create a militant extremist state with Jerusalem as its capitol. That is the view I hear expressed when somebody manages to get interviews with the terrorists. That is what the leader of hezbollah expressed and CNN was shocked the nasrallah was so anti-Semitic. If Israel was not attacked, Lebanon would not have been either, period.
Furthermore, I can’t possibly see how suicide bombs, car bombs, IED’s and what ever, specifically designed to target ordinary citizens can be justified simply because “Israel has done bad things too”. That is what you and your cronies are essentially saying. The terrorists are justified in their hurting maming and killing of ordinary folks because they have been supposedly wronged. The poor unfortunate murderers.
The Russians have done lots of “bad things”, I don’t see anybody attacking them day in and day out in retaliation. What about Zimbabwe? They are pretty terrible why not bomb them too.
