Judaism is a religion, not a race. Your claim is like claiming Italy prior to the 19th centruy was racist because Catholicism was the required state religion. Or Henry VIII's England was racist because the Church of England was the only legal religion. Or Germany when Lutheranism was the required religion. There are black and Chinese Jews. Did you know that? And the matter of "race" is pretty shaky anyway. I'm Causcasian. Let's say you are. The fact is that one of us might have more in common genetically with some black guy sitting between us than either of us does with each other.

<< You are a racist. Israel itself is based on racism. A country built for Jews. >> What is wrong with a country built for Jews? Racism usually implies hatred towards other races. In Israel's case, they just want a peaceful friendly place for Jews to live, where they won't experience racism against THEM. << What if we made the USA a country for Catholics? >> That is really an infantile, stupid analogy. The US already exists as a peaceful melting pot of all races, religions and cultures. Israel was born out of violence between Arabs and Jews, where it was obvious that the two could not coexist. Is your knowledge and understanding of history that shallow that you can't tell the difference between the two situations? << Grow up you Zionist. Get with the times. >> You make a really stupid and 1st grade type analogy, and then you tell ME to grow up? You tell me to get with the times, when it is obvious that you have no idea of the difference between how the US is now, and how the situation was in Israel during the time leading up to their creation as a state? ===> "Wise is the Anthony perceived a fool that says nothing, then the Anthony that opens his mouth and removes all doubt. <g>
