I thought a “Christian” was one who follows Christ.

I also thought, thanks to numerous bumper stickers, a Jewish carpenter.

Maybe Jesus was a bit like a dog, chasing his own tail?

Perhaps the Palestinian Prime Minister has been paying too much attention to the members of The Church of Jesus Christ, Christian — the radical white supremacists. They probably have a lot in common…

This is our fault, too. In 1967, we shouldn’t have let the rabbis just give up the Temple Mount like that. If they didn’t want it then fine, you don’t have to force anyone to go up there if they feel it would be wrong, from a religious standpoint. That doesn’t mean you just hand it over to your enemy like we did. If Israel had exerted control over it right then, instead of giving it to the Waqf (who have done a real bang-up job of taking care of the place), then we wouldn’t have shown the world (not to mention ourselves) how little this place means to so many.

Perhaps we should start referring to “The Occupied Temple Mount” and the Dome of the Rock as an “Illegal Settlement.”

No surprise here, of course. This is merely in accordance with the usual line that today’s Jews have no direct relationship with the Israelites and Jerusalem has no true connection to Judaism.

Of course, from the fair and objective msn and Europeans, this calumny is met with a tide of indifference.

I like the claims you’ve covered elsewhere about making criticism of religion a criminal matter. My guess is that if this ever gets enacted, Judaism will not fall under the definition of religion.

Response is “Gaza… fuel? Food? What’s that?”
