"I am Jewish and very proud of it." Mazel Tov! It is the Zionist part that I am not comfortable with. It is not a personal thing. However, if I was a Palestinian, and you took my land, the issue would be a personal matter, and I would more than likely kill you if did not undo the wrongs you have perpetrated on others. "In 1945 there were approximately 900,000 Jews living in communities throughout the Arab world. Today, there are less than 8,000. Some Arab states, such as Libya, are completely judenrein; or as it is more politically correct to state today “ethnically cleansed”. In others there are only a handful of surviving elderly Jews. Of the 900,000, at least 600,000 were absorbed by Israel where they and their descendants today compose roughly 50% of Israel's Jewish population." Now, answer why this happened? What do the Palestinians have to do with what went on elsewhere (Europe) and perpetrated by others there? The Jews in the United States were not persecuted, so why were they given a free pass to go to Palestine and be citizens of a new country; a country for Jews that calls itself a democracy but is known as the Jewish state? The WJC can write all they want, but the answer remains unanswered in public for fear of being called an anti-semite [sic] or a self-hating Jew. len
