Alan, Of course, everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs. However, religion should not have any part in politics. I think history has consistently taught us that. Also, I think a constant source of misunderstanding is because "Jew" sometimes refers to race and sometimes to religion. Things would be considerably clearer without the muddying influence of religion. Of course, I would not try to force anyone to give it up, but there is always hope for a voluntary surrender. Skipper

"Their whole being is centered around God thats who they are." How can anyone reject Jesus (God) and believe in Jesus at the same time? As Christians we are taught by Jesus(God himself) in the New Testament that those who don't believe in Jesus don't believe in the Father either---Had they believed in Moses they would also believe in me...For me and my Father are one...no one comes to the Father but through me.... Are these words from the bible true or was Jesus delusional? I believe that all Jesus's words are true. Emile

"The Jews are a race of people just like the Chinese, Mexicans ect..." If that's true, then explain to me why the great racial diversity among Jews in Israel today. There are black Ethipians Jews, Sephardic Jews, Oriental Jews, semitic (Arab looking Jews), Khazar Jews (Eastern European mixed with Mongolians and Turks converted to Judaism in the ninth century), Nordic European Jews and much more. This clearly shows that modern Judaism is a religion and not a race. How can anyone observe this racial diversity in Israel today and continue to call modern Jews a race? The ancient Hebrew people were mostly descended from the twelve sons of Jacob, but the modern Jews seem to be a mixture of everything race under the sun. This is a clear observation of the facts that do not seem to fit your statement that "The Jews are a race of people just like the Chinese, Mexicans ect..." Emile
