"My father was Jewish"

Do you mean to tell me that it's your father's Jewishness that forces you to support the immoral and racist policies of the Israeli government? How does your father's Jewishness compel you to take an immoral position towards the Palestinian/Israeli conflict? Are you trying to tell us that since your father is Jewish you have lost your freedom to be a free moral agent. Instead of examining issues in the light of accuracy and truth, you automatic assume that Israel/Jews are always in the right? All the moral and ethical teachings in your Christian upbringing evaporate in the face of your father's Jewishness? Your thinking says: all Jewish causes must be supported because "my father was Jewish". All political decisions are subordinated to: "my father was jewish".

That is pure bunk!

May I suggest that your support for the evil of Zionism has nothing to do with your "father's Jewishness" but a lot to do with your personal moral bankruptcy. It is not your father's Jewishness that forces you to support Israel's racism, aggression, occupation and building of illegal settlements, but your own personal moral ethical defects.

My wife is Jewish but this fact never warps our sense of morality and ethics. When Christians or Jews do immoral things, they should be condemned. Jewish Zionism is immoral and unjust and we condemn it! Zio-evangelicalism is immoral and evil and we condemn it!

Why should our Chrsitian or Jewish backgrounds be used to justify our own immoral choices?
