Emile, your comment:"The only problem with the Exodus quote is the fact that most of the Jews in Israel are not descended from the ancient Israelites or Hebrews. "
What an hypocrite. It does not really matter if the Jews are descendents of the "Hebrews or the Israelites", they have earned their right by generations of theological ignorimi like you to claim that descendency. You see, it is you and people like you, Torquemada those unenlightened Christians that see it their duty to convert Jews to Christianity, that earned the Jews their "rights".
In one of your posts, you clearly claim that todays' Jews are the descendents of those Jews that according to you crucified the "Messiah", and now, suddenly that does not fit your "religious beliefs", so they no longer are the descendents of the "Hebrews and Israelites". Mind you, the word "Jew" (or Yehudi") means "of the tribe of Judea (Yehuda)", which as far as I know were an integral part of the "Hebrews and Israelites".
Can you go back and learn your source a little before you contaminate these thread with your ignorance, contradictions and malefaction?
