The Jew haters will do anything to undercut israel. In a way, I'm glad. If you're a hateful so and so, be out there. Make it clear. Stand in the light. I want to see you, and it's a simple test. One may criticize Israel: it's politics; it's foreign policy; it's culture, for example. One may not delegitimize Israel and claim no hate of the Jews. One cannot claim the illegitimacy of anything Israeli without exhibiting Jew hatred. There are 197 countries in the world. 196 are legitimate. What a coincidence the one Jewish state is the one whose legitimacy is questioned. Why? Jew hatred. Identifying Jerusalem as something other than a part of Israel is just a piecemeal attempt to continue the delegitimization of Israel. Why? The world hates the Jews.
I do understand the hatred of the Jews. It's because they brought God to the world. A God that judges us; a God that sets rules for us, and a God that unites us as one human family. Jewish closeness is not a benefit. It's not what some people think. It means the Jews were chosen by God to bring His word to all mankind, and to suffer for it if they must. In return, God promises His protection IF they live by His word. Anyone will live in God's good graces if he or she lives by the commandments. One does not have to be Jewish. This is why the Jews don't proselytize the way Christian's do. Anyone who lives a righteous live, as proscribed by the Torah will be judged well by God regardless of his or her professed "religion." Unity of the human family undermines the earthly kingdoms. It is why later kingdoms came to be divine right. They thought they were doing God's bidding, except they weren't. When they needed scapegoats, they turned to the one group upon which it was easy to turn. Only the Jews were left in that corner of the world (Europe, essentially), they didn't accept Jesus, giving cause for charges of being against God. Ever seen a Canaanite? A Philistine? The Jews survived, and succeeded. They've been hated for this success. It's as if nothing can ultimately defeat them. This, of course, despite the horrors that many faced. The Muslims crusade against the Jew, but also the Christian for their infidelity. The Christian kings against the Muslim to take back what was theirs, and since both were great in numbers, both could rule empires. The Jews could not. So, they were kicked around wherever they went, but somehow soldiered on and continued to survive. If you've been to Israel you'll note it's not easy to differentiate Jew from Arab by merely physical attributes. One cannot easily tell the difference between a Palestinian Muslim and a Palestinian Christian. It's only the name, Jew, that means anything. Once it's known, however, the opinions surface if the bigot has cause for being upset. If not, no one really knows who is a Jew.

Reminds me of an Irish prayer:
"May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He cannot turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping."
I'll never understand the hatred of Jews.
Well put. Thank you.
