Reply #4: Funny Thing About Jews [View All]

[iamjoy]

so I imagine it applies to Israelis.

Many Jews, secular and religious, are very concerned about giving to the needy and becoming involved with social causes.

But, many Jews have this blind spot about Israel. The religious ones feel God gave it to them and it is their right to do whatever it takes to keep it. The secular ones might be more willing to accept a two-state solution but have other reasons for being Pro-Israel.

Anyway, so it doesn't strike me as contradictory that Israelis would ill treat the Palestinians in that strip of land between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, but want to offer aid to Muslims in other areas. Just as many Muslims (and others) claim to be anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic; many Israelis may be anti-Palestinian, not anti-Muslim.
