Robert > Which Zionists are running Congress? Do Zionists control all of the functions of Congress, both the Senate and the House, including ALL of the committees and subcommittees? Do Zionists control ALL bills coming out of the House and the Senate? I don't know about all that but the over-riding influence, especially in relation to foreign policy, is most decidedly pro-Israel. A few links to illustrate/prove my point: nesa.org.uk ihr.org nowarforisrael.com wrmea.com rense.com > Jews have been credited with many great accomplishments, despite their relatively small numbers. That's a fact. Likewise homosexuals. And I'm sure there are other minority groups too. > Anywhere you look, there is either a cure for a disease, or a great movie, or great music, or some other great scientific achievement, which benefits all of humanity, that can be solely credited to Jews. And there are many similar accomplishments which can be solely credited to non-Jews. But so what? The fact is we no longer live in ghettos (except by choice) and in a multi-religious / multi- cultural society, as we have, achievements are actually the result of the society rather than the particular individuals who may be given the credit. > You are now saying that Jews should also be credited for governing this great country of ours Quite the opposite. I am saying that the Jews should know better than to inflict suffering on to others, particularly people who have done them no harm. Therefore, since there is now such a profound Jewish influence on the US government, Jewish history, Jewish suffering and Jewish compassion should be manifest. The Jews should lead by example and by honor -- as any leader should. > If your praise is correct, than Americans, and everyone in the world who has benefited from this great country of ours, owe much thanks for the Jews who are helping to successfully run this country. In the past that was certainly the case but not now where a criminal / mafia-type element has been allowed to take power. For what it's worth, I was born a Jew (both parents were Jewish) and so is my wife but more important than being a Jew I regard just being a person -- one amongst everyone. Nothing special. No big deal. Since I am not religious I do not see religious identity as being of importance -- except where those involved in any activity make it out to be so and particularly if they use their religious identity as a reason to attack others or discriminate against them. > As a Jew and a Zionist, I thank you for the compliment! I haven't given you a compliment, in fact, I don't know you or of you. And if you are trying to give yourself one then that's your business.
