Isn't that what killed him?

in a previous post you said that Jews pride themselves on 'genetic purity' .
You do not make sense.

It seems they dont... Read the thread I've linked (post by Solomon), and get the joke!

oh, that meant to be a joke? I thought it is just their way of being, ie. different/strange to others .

"heh" means "hehe", "haha", " ;D "


I dont quite follow you...

For all those who think that I'm anti-Semitic, think again. I wear my sideburns like a Jew (almost) and agree with much of what they say. are but two videos where I support the speakers. I really identify with Rabbis and how they see many things. They defend the Old Testament and are not so different.

God Bless many innocent and insightful Jews and down with the Zionists. Yehudi, step up to the plate :)

HAH!

How old are you, Seanus?

I'm 32 :) Well, they don't curl upwards but they are long. Maybe more like Elvis :)

They are lovely!



Hey, have you been drinking Żubrówka? You don't eat the straw; it's not tequilla.

I'll oblige.


I don't think you're anti-semitic. I think you have very superficial knowledge about Jews, our history and you get most of your information about Israel from biased sources. You have a lot of assumptions about jews that are based on stereotypes. To be fair, I know very little about Scotland and its history, but then I don't give my opinions on Scottish affairs.


Why would G-d be against Zionism? His prophets predicted our return to Israel more than 2000 years ago.

OK, thanks :)

Well, I haven't read so widely on it, right enough. I get my information from video presentations too.

So you believe in fate and destiny more other material factors? Did he legislate on the Palestinian equation? ;) ;) Those damn Philistines ;) ;)

Have certain conditions not been fulfilled for this return? What to make of this Orthodox Jewish branch that opposes Zionism? Are they that wrong?

It's not clear what the conditions are. It would include repentance for having done idol-worship. Since we haven't touched the stuff since ancient times, I think that's been fulfilled. I think the main condition is that as soon as the geo-political situation made it possible for us to return en masse, we did.

I am also Orthodox. Most of the Orthodox groups that opposed zionism before the war changed their minds since then. Now it's a very small minority that opposes it actively. Their reasons are totally religious and have nothing to do with anyone's human rights. They see the zionist movement as a rebellion against the exile decreed by G-d. They have no doubt about our eventual right to the land, but they want to keep it in the realm of a supernatural messianic age. In my eyes, they are like a hostage who has been imprisoned so long that he is afraid to leave captivity and believes he is meant to stay like that.

To what extent do the decisions of parties like Likud impact upon religious freedoms, yehudi? Are they completely separate or?

They don't impact at all on religious freedoms. People here can follow whatever religion they like. Likud is politically center-right, but it includes both religious and secular people.

Yes, I understand. I understood that the return was to follow the Messiah, the Temple and there was something else. I might be wrong on that though. Another time perhaps.

Seanus:I wear my sideburns like a Jew (almost)

I now have the following image of Seanus in my mind's eye ...

I don't really look so different, tbh. I don't need a makeover to look like him :)

I can see Seanus coming dressed up like that to the PF meeting with the likes of Sokrates, 1jola, Jarnowa and JoePilsudski present, would be an interesting confrontation.

:))

M-G (tiens)

L'Chayim to that :) A big Shalom :) It would be rather strange and I wonder if a Scotsman would receive anti-Semitic comments ;)

They'd probably think you're me :)))

Edit: Shalom gajes Sokrates, Shalom gajes Jola, we are all brothers, come dance to Hava Nagheila with me. Grin.

:)

M-G (shalom)

B'Ezrat Ha Shem, I like this phrase. Yiddish seems to be close to Arabic on occasion and more to German. Shem, what a good man he was :)

He was indeed :) But I'm gonna go have a shave and then off to the sack for a few hours sleep as I am working again, slowly, but surely, old M-G is on his way back. Back to the front. May the sjuge be with you :)

>^..^<

M-G (good night)

A few technical corrections:
B'ezrat Hashem is Hebrew, not Yiddish. It means "with G-d's help".

The word Hashem means literally "the name" and it refers to G-d whose name we don't say or write. It has nothing to do with Shem the son of Noah.

Hebrew is close to Arabic, but Yiddish, which is based on German, has nothing to do with Arabic. It uses Hebrew loan words but is not a semitic language at all.

Just out of interest, yehudi, why don't you write God like most other people do? I don't want to cause an affront to you by writing the word with 'o'. It's not taking the Lord's name in vain, nor is it using lower case to disrespect the great one!!

Boker tov! Thanks for the info, btw. Toda :) Ma nishma?

Just like the 'Jews' who speak it aren't.

Not that I need to answer for Yehudi, but: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism

The intention is not to disrespect and I don't think writing the full name is disrespectful per se. The actions of Israelites during God's instruction were far worse ;) ;) Moses got off lightly ;) ;)
