Fortunately almost no one claims to be Jewish who isn't Jewish and
almost no one claims to be Christian who isn't a Christian.


you can't be Jewish (according to Israel) just because you devoutly believe in or practice Judaism



I don't know where you get this totally incorrect nonsense but a Jew
is the same in Israel or out of Israel and almost everyone who claims
to be Jewish really is Jewish except for Jews for Jesus who are really
Christian because they believe in Christ as the Messiah.

And according to Israel official demographics:

The demography of Israel is monitored by the Israel Central
Bureau of Statistics. The State of Israel has a population of
approximately 7,848,800 inhabitants as of 2012.[1] 75.3% of them
are Jewish (about 5,865,300 individuals),
20.5% are Arabs
(About 1,597,300 individuals), while the remaining 4.3% (about
318,200 individuals) are defined as "others" (family members of
Jewish immigrants who are not registered at the Interior Ministry
as Jews, non-Arab Christians, non-Arab Muslims and residents who do
not have a religious classification).

Well someone must be ticking your feet because every time you post anything you post laughing heads. You are a really jolly person for some reason.

Personally, I don't find the brutal killings and aggression of Israel one bit funny.

It just goes to show that unlike the previous false claims, the
Israelis do recognize all the Jews in the country and count them too.
Jews of all levels of observance including the Zionist Jews and the
non-Zionist Jews.

Israel violent? Hardly.

example: Israel leaves Gaza. Palestinians have a choice.

1. Leave Israel alone and focus on building a new and prosperous
society in Gaza.

2. Use Gaza as a terrorist launch pad invoking international
condemnation and Israeli defensive actions.

Which do they choose? #2.

Who are the terrorists in this conflict? Palestinians and Arabs.
Who are the peaceful people who are happy to simply have peace? Israel.

The tone and pace of attacking the Gaza Strip has increased either by military operations or air bombardment, along with the threat of Israeli army chief of staff, from a week ago. Today comes the threat of the Israeli Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak, who was evaluating Gaza war of 2008-2009, at a conference with military officials.

Barak said: "If the security cabinet deems it needed, the Israeli army can conquer and rule Gaza," Ynet news reported.

Elaborating on the previous military war against Gaza, Barak noted that there was no need to drag the fighting for 22 days. That lesson is true for other things as well.

In addition, Barak also noted that the Israeli forces withdrawal from the Strip was late. "We could have pulled out 10 days earlier."

Speaking at the same conference, former Israeli army chief of staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Gabi Ashkenazi said the political leadership must involve the military leadership in decision making over possible future wars.

"Strategic decisions must be taken into consideration, in the dialogue between the political and military echelons before a war," he said, stressing that this discourse ultimately shapes goals of a war and whether or not they are realistic.

Last month, Israeli media claimed Israeli army officials have set a plan to re-occupy the Gaza Strip, adding a military governor would be named to regulate the affairs of the Strip's residents when Israel assumes control of the territory.

In response to Israeli threats, one Hamas official in Gaza, Salah Bardawil, does not expect Israel to launch a major attack on Gaza Strip but to continue "show off" moves such as assassinating resistance leaders.

“If Israeli occupation forces enter Gaza Strip, they will be faced with Palestinian resistance and Egyptian opposition," Bardawil said.

“Is Barak really confident he can occupy Gaza? Israel’s disengagement from Gaza was considered a strategic decision, and the Israelis have failed to achieve their goals in the last war against Gaza,” Bardawil added.

He stressed that, Israel is sending a message to Egypt, to feel the pulse, and to check how Egypt and the Palestinian factions will react if they attack Gaza.

It is worth mentioning that on Dec. 27, 2008, Israel launched a three-week war on Gaza Strip to stop militants from firing home-made Palestinian rockets on Israeli towns and settlements. The Israeli offensive killed 1,400 Palestinians and injured 5, 400 others, leaving thousands of people homeless after having their houses totally or partially destroyed. The offensive also inflicted $1.6 billion in damages to the Gazan economy.

However, since the end of Gaza war on January 2009, Gaza has been blockaded, which is a situation that has caused a decline in the standard of living, unemployment, and poverty. In large parts of Gaza nowadays, there is no electricity. More than ever, Gaza is also like a prison, it is poorer and hungrier. In other words Israel is returning Gaza Strip to the Middle Ages.

Opinion:

Of course, people of Gaza know that Israeli army can repeat the war. They are taking these threats seriously. It is no secret that every house in Gaza is trying to secure his requirements of food, water and fuel for the generator. Perhaps some retains some money for emergencies, but the question is does Barak think that the resistance will not respond? Gaza residents today own many weapons, in addition to missiles that are manufactured locally. Furthermore, there are also weapons that were smuggled from Libya to Gaza Strip through the tunnels.

I think that in the next war the number of victims and damages will be equal in Gaza and Israeli cities, not cities and settlements near Gaza only, but the cities of perhaps 100 kilometers or less, far from Gaza.

In Gaza, we got used to the sound of planes and explosions, and even the smell of death. Are the Israelis ready to hear the sound of explosions?

I'm from Gaza and I survived the past war with all its bloody details, together with my family. For this, I can say that the armed resistance with all its factions learned lessons from the previous war and Israelis will be astonished with the military techniques that the resistance probably learned from Hezbollah.

War is awful, we strongly hate it and refuse it, but if it was imposed on us, then Israeli forces will face unexpected reaction. That's what all resistance factions are saying in Gaza.

In this article referenced above, Horowitz actually discusses why
he now considers himself a Zionist in the traditional sense of the
word and why now after 911 that others have seen the same kind of
religious persecution the Jews have traditionally experienced so
that now all the rest of the civilized is sympathetic to the
Zionist cause because of such radical Islamic attacks.

And Horowitz is right too.

Here is the Editor's note at the beginning of the article...

Editors’ note: In the following speech accepting the Ben Hecht Award for Outstanding Journalism from the Zionist Organization of America, David Horowitz notes that he wants everything that the Zionists want–a muscular Israel willing and able to defy the growing Jew hatred in the world; a Jewish State “armed to the teeth” and ready to use its military; an Israel augmented by the addition of its historical birthright of Judea and Samaria. Yet the paradox is that until now, Horowitz notes, he has never considered himself a Zionist in the sense that Theodor Herzl and other founders used that term. Herzl’s dream was that a Jewish homeland would “normalize” the Jewish people in the eyes of an historically hostile world, end their persecution, and “solve” the “Jewish problem.” Horowitz states that he always considered this possibility to be a “fairy tale” because of his understanding of the way envy and hatred operate on the international scene, especially with the advent of “Third Worldism.” In addition to becoming a refuge, Israel also became a magnet for homocidal intentions. The events of 9/11 changed everything. Because of the rise of Islamism in the U.S.–especially influencing those who were once Israel’s strong defenders–as well as in the Middle East, Horowitz says that “supporters of freedom are all Zionists now.”

Yes, I read most of the article.
If Zionists are supporters of freedom, why do they want to "rule" Palestine?

***************************************************


Here is what is going to happen in the Middle east. You can find it happening already.

You might think that America supports Israel. It certainly looks to be the case. -- If that is so, then why is there some kind of betrayal going on in that Egypt has now been handed over to the Muslim Brotherhood?

***********************************************

Here is a snippet:

....the Obama Administration has assisted the Muslim Brotherhood in transforming the Arab Spring in the Middle East into an Islamist winter, beginning with the toppling of an allied regime in Egypt and the accession to power of the Muslim Brotherhood, and its expansion throughout the region. In August, the new Egyptian president sacked his military commanders, abrogated the Constitution, and assumed dictatorial powers greater than those possessed by his predecessor, and transforming Egypt into an Islamist state. Opponents of the dictatorship were crucified – literally nailed to crosses – in front of the government headquarters. It was the Brotherhood’s way of dramatizing its intentions to turn Egypt into a Medieval totalitarian state.

This was exactly what the American State Department had assured the world the Muslim Brotherhood would not do as it paved the way for the Brotherhood’s accession to power. The intelligence chief of the Obama White House had officially described the Muslim Brotherhood as a “moderate” and “secular” organization, which had embraced democratic and constitutional government.

The betrayal of these promises, and the violation of every principle the American government claimed to be supporting in the Middle East’s most important state, took place without a word of protest from the American government or the American Secretary of State.

This (above) snippet comes from the second page of the above linked article about David Horowitz.

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/david-horowitz/reflections-of-a-diaspora-jew-on-zionism-america-and-the-fate-of-the-jews/2/


*************************************************


It is of course not the American Policy to openly support the Muslim brotherhood, but there is a plan to do just that in the works.

The entire Middle East will be handed over to the Muslim Brotherhood, but not because the "powers that be" intend to support them.

It is the plan of the secret government (The Elite Cabal you don't believe exists) to betray their Saudi friends and let the Muslim Brotherhood create war and chaos in the entire Middle east including Syria.

Then they/we will stop buying oil from the Middle East (or it will not be available,) and the blame will be put on the war and the Muslim Brotherhood against Israel and American forces.

The reason for all of this is to drive the price of oil up to over 150 dollars a barrel. Gas here will go up to 6.00 to 7.00 per gallon or more here in America.

So what happens then? Our Elite friends will announce that they have been working on and have available enough oil to make America energy independent. (And we do already have enough oil reserves ready for use to last us until 2041)

So oil could actually be $1.50 a gallon even today, but the greedy Elite will keep the prices at 7.00 or 8.00 dollars a gallon. They control the prices of everything... including gold and silver and oil.

If Zionists are supporters of freedom, why do they want to "rule" Palestine?



OK - well then you should understand then or maybe you will have
to review it again.

Horowitz is a Jewish Zionist. He is not self-hating or anything.
He just feels like he understands better after 911 how the Jews
who were persecuted all over the world in earlier times longed
to return to their homeland and live in peace where they could
be free to observe their religion without anyone trying to harm
them or prevent them from freely practicing Judaism.

Zionists are indeed supporters of freedom. That is why Israel
has freedom of the press and freedom of speech and freedom of
religion unlike Saudi Arabia, Gaza, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon
and all the other neighboring states.

Zionists don't want to rule Palestine. Zionists have their
traditional homeland Israel. The Palestinians are free to rule
their own areas in Jordan and parts of the West Bank and Gaza.
The Palestinians however do not have the right to attack and
kill Israelis and Palestinians are not free to commit terrorism.
So what do the Palestinians do? Do they work on improving their
own economic situation or do they spend their time firing rockets
and blowing up schools, buses and cafes full of innocent people?

Yes, that's right. The Palestinians waste their opportunity to
build a future and instead live their lives in a ghetto of hatred
of their own design and construction.

All that is needed for real peace and prosperity for the
Palestinians is for them to lay down their weapons and live for
the future. The only authority standing in their way of
advancement are the Palestinians themselves.

The Israeli offensive killed 1,400 Palestinians and injured 5, 400 others, leaving thousands of people homeless after having their houses totally or partially destroyed. The offensive also inflicted $1.6 billion in damages to the Gazan economy.

However, since the end of Gaza war on January 2009, Gaza has been blockaded,which is a situation that has caused a decline in the standard of living, unemployment, and poverty. In large parts of Gaza nowadays, there is no electricity. More than ever, Gaza is also like a prison, it is poorer and hungrier. In other words Israel is returning Gaza Strip to the Middle Ages.

Yes, that's right. The Palestinians waste their opportunity to
build a future and instead live their lives in a ghetto of hatred
of their own design and construction.

It is truly disgusting how Hamas caused the war, refused to stop
attacking Israelis, continues to foment hatred, located their
rockets next to schools, mosques and hospitals cynically trying
to cause civilian casualties. Hamas has the blood of thousands
on their hands. They have caused by their bigotry and violence
all manner of poverty, despair and deaths of their own population.
Hamas has returned Gaza to the middle ages.

The blockade slur is a lie. Palestinians have access to non-military
goods and services including all humanitarian aid. Hamas is solely
responsible for the poverty of Gazans now that they have decided to
forego modernization and peaceful coexistence in favor of terrorist
attacks and 5th century radical Islamic society a la Taliban.

It is a prison I will agree with you but there are no bars.
Their isolation and prison sentence is their own Hamas-supported
cage of hatred and bigotry.

Remember. Had there been no rocket attacks there would never have
been any war. If they had stopped the rocket attacks when asked
the war would have been averted. Hamas caused the war and caused
the casualties. Hamas owns the hatred and is reaping the great
harvest of their own bigotry and irrational Jew-hatred.

Sad. But very true.
