What I suspected. Not of great importance to the immediate discussion, however, the question, "What is a Jew?" will engender lively discussion even amongst some -- if not many -- Jews. But it's rather large in the ongoing unpleasantness.
There are not a few Jews who believe as I do that Holy Land cannot be stolen and that Jews, of all people, should know that treating another people as lesser is wrong. That one is Jewish is no more a guarantee that one is a Zionist that being German in 1940 is a guarantee that one is a Nazi. But the irony is that I AM a Zionist, but I think that it should be done legally, not by theft. I honestly believe it would be cheaper in the long run.
Think about it: can anyone begin to guess how much money -- nevermind lives -- has been spent on the wars? Suppose we could rewind history and come up with enough money that the Arab lands we wanted were legally purchased? Someone should do the math, I'd bet it would be less than 10% of the money since spent on wars. The thing of it is I *still* believe that, even now, legal purchase would be cheaper than the horrors to come -- cuz the wars are going to go on and on and on as every new generation of dispossessed Palestinians take up the cause. Right?
How is one half Jewish? Isn't that kinda like half pregnant?
Is it? My dad is Jewish, my mom is gentile.
