u make israel sound like such a primitive country that goes by bible laws. We think the suicide bombers are the worst thing that could have ever happenned- just because the same thing happenned in the bible with Simson doesnt mean we accept it, or think it's right. I personally dont believe in the bible. And just becuase Simson happenned, doesnt mean a jew is gonna go on a bus and kill himself and kill arabs with him. when israel attacks, it's simply to protect itself. Just because they were stupid enough to attack us when they have no shelter,, doesnt make it our fault

u saying the jews killed jesus, 2000 years ago- even if it's true, doesnt make it right for ppl to go kill jews by millions, or say they dont deserve a country. It's neither here nor there...

i gotta go to work now :( bye bye

Maybe you've been watching the OC too much, and arent really connected to reality so you're disappointed. Tv has only made this world suck because u expect things to be different but i dont think you're right. I think that teenagers can expirience real love. It's just hard to find. I find alot of couples are know are together simply to be together- and it doesnt seem like there's really love there. They just seem stupid- always dealing with crap. But there are those special few....

u know gazeboflossUK, u keep acting like you're showing the full picture, like u know everything that's going on and so u made up your opinion about things reading through articles like the ones u present here. And u claim others are lead by wrong information?! Half of that article is lies! And, u only present one side of the story, and u say u know all the information- how come u neglect the fact the 8 isreali soldiers were killed yesterday?

oh, well u shouldnt say that either. I live here and i dont think that. After learning so much about it, and having grandparents that are ww2 survivors, i know that there's no way we can even compare

the strongest regret i've ever felt was after failing my first 2 driving tests (passed the 3rd). Because u keep having "what ifs" cross your mind and it drives u crazy and u hate yourself. Like, if i had just stopped there the tester wouldnt have hit the brakes and i might have passed!!! i seriously think that feeling regret is the worst thing u could feel. So always go fo things even if you're really not sure about them, so that u know u tried at least!! (and on the other hand dont do really stupid things and regret them later, like buy something really expensive or drink too much)

i cant belive you would say that from all your responses u seem to have a wide knowledge of current affairs and history. And u still think that something somewhat like the holocoast is being done to the arabs in israel? How could u possibly compare??? i really wanna know where u ppl get these ideas

if u say so... i just cant imagine how u could come to such a conclution. It's very it's very extreme to think that. It's even too exaggerated if u wanna raise sympathy for the plestinians. Saying they're going through a similiar holocaust is a flat out lie

The Omen it was the best!!! 10/10, highly recommended for all u people who love movies like the ring and M.Knight Shamalan movies...

"not that extreme"- so how can u even compare? There are no ghettos, no designanted ereas were all the arabs are out in unbelievable density were there are 10 ppl living in one room, living off one loaf of bread per day, and dieing of deseases. Or being shot when they try to escape. You really shouldnt compare. look at this: http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/phistories/ my grandmother was in Bergen Belzen. It's described under "camps". and u say they "arent treated like humans". Explain yourself, prove your point, you cant say something without basing it on anything.

wtf

please elaborate... i really wanna see how u prove this point, since it's completely ridiculas

what's wrong?

because- do u even know what happenned with the nazis that u would think that?

why? It got me abit upset, but it's not like I hate all the ppl I disagree with we can all just agree to disagree. I think it's also very imprortant to hear other thoughts other than ur own, it does open your mind abit. It has opened mine, anyways.

the fact that Hizballa knew that lebanon didnt have safe shelters for the civillians in lebanon just proves my point that the Hizballa doesnt give a rats ass about the people of lebanon, and only care of their own goals. They probably knew Israel would respond by attacking, so if they had no shelter, why did they attack to begin with? And the fact the lebanonese government didnt invest money in building sheltered homes shouldnt really bother israel during war. What are we suppose to do? Sit back and relax while we're being attacked because lebanon's government didnt build shelters?? i never judge u or disrespected u, i told u what I think... Posting pics like that to me is propaganda. And I know about this stuff, I live here. And when it says that the ppl of israel are afraid and living in shelters it's not propaganda it's the truth. Dont insult me on this, because that would piss me off. I have family in the north, and friends of mine that are soldiers and are there right now.

about your first sentence. I dont think u can see judaism as a race since it really is juat a religion. The difference between judaism and christianity, for example, is that there are so little jews that i think we feel united as if we were a race. And we were always treated like we were a race (in the word anitsemetic- "semi" is the race. However, the arabs are also included in this race, however, the word has come to relate to jews only). what u wanted to point out is that u said "ppl say being jewish is not a race so it would seem less evil". But even if judaism really isnt a race, I dont think protesting hate toward a whole religion is any better. It's just as evil...

a jew that isnt a jew, is simply a jew that doesnt see himself as jewish. That's individual. Technically, there are laws that define who is and sint jewish- it was something that has been a conflict during the years trying to define who is jewish. I learned about this in the 10th, and they decided that a jew is: -someone born to a jewish mother (not father, unlike christianity. It's the mother because u can only know for sure that the mother is the real mother, unlike the father) - someone who converted (following certain guidelines I'm guessing, that I'm not really familiar with. There are so many kinds of Judaism these days, that u could find ppl who would tell u very different ways of converting). and about that strap, it is only for boys. It's called "Tfilin". I know men do this alot, ever since they're 13 and have a Bar Mitsva. But I dont know much about that. Maybe Matan knows more...i feel stupid. I dont know too much about my religion because i'm very non religious

well, it's a religion like christianity is a religioun. It's only a race if u look back thousands of years and see that we all have the same origin. But the different ppl that are jewish will just make u see that actually Judaism is a religion. After all the jews that came to israel from all over the world came from very different places- countires in europe and countries in north africa. So you would think that racially they were different. Physically u can see a difference between ppl from the europian countires and the ones from north africa (i'm half half- my dad's parents came from Lybia and Iraq. My Mom's parents came from Yugoslavia, which is now Serbia). I think that ever since the foundation of Israel ppl look at judaism as a nationality in the sense that there are sooo many different ppl that live in israel and are considered israeli, and one of the main things that makes us all the same is the fact that we're jewish. It's what unites us. So maybe that's why ppl sometimes look at judaism as a race. Israel was also founded as a "national- religious country".

the people with the beards are called "Hassids", and from what I get it's one flow of judaism that grew, and religious jews are usually related with these ppl. However, there are religious jews that are more moderate I found some info about it on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassid i'm heading off to bed now, because i've got to get up early for work tomorrow. But I'll see u around. Bye bye, good night :)
