Oh. What did I write that you disagree with or think is “nuts?” Or do you have criticism regarding the esteemed journalist I mention? Or, OR – are you “Uncle Jack?” That would explain a lot.

Actually, one of my dear friends is a Muslim Zionist with a dangerous career as he is one of the journalists I referenced but didn’t name, a colleague of those I did mention. When I first met him and other Muslims who were good and kind and who became my friend, I researched Islam a bit more in depth to see the good it must have. What I further learned is that it is in spite of the teachings of the Quran and Hadiths that so many Muslims are good people, for the teachings of those documents leads to supremacy and abuse. My journalist friend, who criticizes his religion but doesn’t reject it – confirmed my observation as accurate. He has since been fired from the paper in his own land, not for being inaccurate, but for writings that support Israel – accurately. Fortunately he has other outlets.

As a non- Muslim, you are prohibited from praying on the Temple Mount, where Jesus has prayed (I saw you mentioned being Catholic). The Islamic Waqf forbids non-Muslim prayer in this holiest of Jewish sites in Jerusalem. Israel abides as a good faith gesture to her Muslim neighbors. Nonetheless, the United Nations has voted to rename the areas critical to Jewish history. The Western Wall of the Temple is officially, through the UN, the Buraq Wall exclusively, the Temple Mount – Haram al Sharif, etc. They took and renamed Rachels tomb and the Tomb of the Jewish Patriarchs. Look at the Hagia Sophia in what was once in a land named after Constantine. As Islamic ideology has trampled on churches and synagogues and is ethnically cleansing the region – with Israel aimed at its greatest victory won’t ever have, you are self righteous in applauding a man who is a bigot against the Jewish people who have provided the safest country in the region to those of all faiths. Ironically, Bennett tweeted his “noble” gesture with a picture of Martin Luther King who was a friend to Israel and the Jewish people and called anti Zionism for what it is – anti Semitism.

Bennet didn’t suspend his beliefs – he is a slave to his prejudice. He turned down an all expense paid trip to Israel with no strings attached simply because the purpose of the gift was a hope that those with suspended beliefs will see truth with clarity. He refuses. He can go to Gaza where many Palestinian children have been saved by the Israeli organization Save a Child’s Heart (SACH). He can also see the absence of children who died digging tunnels, shielding rockets or are outfitted practicing jihad. Look at what is in the Palestinian textbooks and tv for children – then come back to tell me that Bennett is fair with suspended beliefs. I do know a lot – I don’t deny it. It was through friendship, scholarship and listening and fact checking information that pleased me and displeased me. I challenge you and Bennet to do the same.

And since we are corresponding again, I will point out that your statement here is wrong, “All organized religion persecutes other religions.” Though the Torah addresses a historical point in which Jews did fight others in the region for dominance of the land (a people who no longer exists), it is debated and questioned, vs the Quran demands a continual action to persecute people of other religions (while subjugating people of their own) and Christianity had the Inquisition and Crusades – persecuting the Jews with utmost cruelty while trying to stave off Islamist domination.

The Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and Atheists have not and do not go around persecuting people of other religions to force a robotic destructive and unquestioned ideology. They do fight off people from other religions but for survival – not dominance.

At least as Christians emulate Jesus – they do good. When Muslims emulate Muhammad – we get the Islamic State (the only difference is that the Islamic State records their horrors). Right now, the Islamic State is battling out with Hamas in Gaza, who is battling out with Fatah in the West Bank (after throwing members of Fatah off roofs in Gaza about 10 years ago when they took over). It would be prudent for Bennett to brush up on this stuff before vacationing in those places (no doubt he would be kept safe in those places and treated like a king – the Islamists, evidenced here, are stellar at propaganda).

Technically, he didn’t ask for anything – he was invited on a trip and turned it down for its antithesis.

There is such a danger in misinformation and it is being used against people who think they are informed. The United Nations has been given global legitimacy yet has perpetuated the Arab Israeli conflict with little more than an acceptance of mistruths while having branches led by the worlds largest human rights violators (like Saudi Arabia was the head of a panel of the United Nations Human Rights Council).

Victories of ill will people happen when they recruit the sympathy of visible people who have a lot of young fans.

The Jews of the region have struggled for peace. From 1834 and the Arab looting of Safed through the Hebron Massacre that made Hebron Jew free for the first time in thousands of years, through the creation of the idea of a Palestinian people to the creation of their militant branch the PLO (in 1964, three years before Israel liberated Jerusalem from Jordan who conquered it and destroyed the synagogues).

Happiness and peace for all people doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive – the problem is – the team that Bennett is (maybe unwittingly) batting for – doesn’t have happiness on its agenda.

Happiness? Truth? You know what these things are to all people? Why aren’t you leading a government, or the UN?

I wish that everyone would be well read on this subject. Everyone who is knowledgeable about the Middle East has an agenda. Through his statements, Bennett is simply trading in a tour from people of one agenda to the other. I would challenge him to do both – see the region with a tour from a Zionists point of view and and Islamists point of view. They tend to clash and one could truly not promote the other’s agenda.

What is frustrating is that many under-informed yet kind hearted, or ill intentioned people do forward the agenda of Islamist cruelty and expansionism and primarily it is at the expense of the population living under Islamic governments. It enables them to continue with cruelty. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas are barbaric to their own people – abusing them with hate from a young age. The people who would give Bennett a tour in Gaza are the people who approve such state media as this, (if you would kindly google the video): “Hamas to kids: Shoot all the Jews.” (and others like it).

I do not recognize and am unaware of Bennett’s “ecumenism” as you suggest.

I don’t deny having an agenda. I prefaced one of my comments stating that just about anyone informed on the issues, even partially, especially partially, has an agenda.

Regarding this particular topic, two peoples are struggling for the same strip of land – one for survival and progress, one for conquest and domination. I side with the former, the subject of the article seems to side with the latter. We are both entitled to our convictions.

Though, how I would have loved to see the Palestinians succeed by taking advantage of the millions of dollars worth of Jewish started businesses left to them when Israel forced the Jewish residents out of Gaza in 2005 – also making Gaza Jew free for the first time in thousands of years. I would have applauded seeing Gaza develop into a Singapore as was the hopes of many. Instead, terrorists dismantled the businesses and stopped those who knew how to run them, from running them or sabotaged the access to export. The terrorists of Gaza used their sovereignty to subjugate their own people and to attack the people of Israel, encouraging a blockade on their own people, using and abusing their people. I happen to be against that and tend to judge a little bit in a negative way those who enable the abuse and try to peddle it as anything less – much less objectivity.

Israel tries and punishes soldiers who go rogue and abuse people – Hamas and the PA reward them – literally. When Jews bring harm to others – the Jewish community gets angry with the perpetrator. The Hamas Charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the murder of all Jews – it is an institutionalized belief and a goal indoctrinated into their children. When Islamists kill people, their families are paid off and streets and schools are named after them. No one is perfect, but the depth and quantity of evil is relevant.

This is nothing short of child abuse (in addition to the goal of destroying an ethnic group).

Find me the equivalent of this being taught to Israeli children and then we can talk about moral equivalences:

“I picture a dead Arab and that makes me happy”

Would you consider this child abuse? Or do they get a pass because they happen to be on the correct team?

Now, I know that most Israelis aren’t like this. I also know that most Palestinians aren’t like this. This, and the video you posted, are trashy propaganda. I know this. But do you?

Amazing. This article is about a man who wants to avoid propaganda and you insist on countering with propaganda. Instead of taking his example and stepping back to take a broad perspective, you do the opposite. And for someone who has made north of 12,000 comments, you’ve got a lot of nerve calling someone who sparsely engages in these things a troll.

I can’t say I’m surprised to have spotted you here.

You are the same narrow minded troll who spoke nonsense on JPost – much like Mike who followed me here (he is blocked from me – but as the only troll I have blocked, I know the “blocked user” is him).

I dehumanize no one. I also do not see a moral equivalence between a government poisoning their children with bombardments of daily hatred against a people and a video of children exploring a war memorial. You do. I fight for the people who are aiming to survive and progress and you puke distortions to justify the oppression of people trapped in the ideology they’ve been conquered into who are raised/groomed to kill. You see the similarity between kids reluctantly understanding they need to fight to protect their people, and children proudly willing to spill their own blood to destroy a people.

I saw your previous post and succinctly responded to one as you wrote around the same time.

You and your Israel hatred is what has reached Bennett. Congratulations – you enable the subjugation of a people so as long as they aim to destroy a country you despise. You are despicable and frankly I have no reason to respond to more of your posts.

You do have a friend in the troll who followed me here – it is like you share the same brain.

No – indoctrination is certainly not the result of children saying that they want to shoot all Jews, clap at hearing that, refuse coexistence believing that Jews are occupiers of Jerusalem and the land must be liberated at any cost, be willing to die in order to kill a Jew, say Jews are descendants of monkeys and pigs. No – no indoctrination at all. You got me.

Reality check – to suggest that rhetoric from 10 year olds a natural evolution of children would actually be suggesting that they are subhuman. That is what you seem to be saying. To such suggest that they are being indoctrinated into a culture of hate – is observant and puts blame on the toxic adults poisoning them – blame on a horrid ideology wreaking havoc all over the world – not DNA.

Wow – so you believe the children are natural killers and I believe they’ve been conditioned and you accuse me of “dehumanizing.”

I wish those kids could be free from the toxin forced into their young minds – stunting their otherwise wonderful possibilities. And you justify the abuse as being just like anything else.

Seriously – talk to Mike – you’d be like in a happy echo chamber and you will get lots of under informed people to buy into your garbage. Clearly they do. And those 10 year old Palestinian children pay the price for your “tolerance.”
