Why Israelis support the Gaza offensive

    My dear Xanthro

    A great man once said, "History is Bunk" - I tend to agree.

    "Your ignorance of history doesn't excuse you from denying that the Jews of today are for the most part descended from the same Jews expelled from Judaea. You can even trace this via DNA, supporting what history tells us."

    I know about the Khazars and the Askenazi and you do not?

    Preposterous.

    You are just a liar.

    Anyone who is stupid and gutless enough to believe any of the Abrahmic religions is probably a good candidate for converting to another form of the same bunk. Those that are smart enough to choose living over torture and dying.

    Very few people are willing to die for their beliefs unless they have no alternative whatsoever.

    Jews change religion within Judaism too. You aren't doing animal sacrifices anymore and that seems a betrayal of the core of the religion. I guess "JHVH" is fickle, transient and changes the rules to suit the convenience of the people worshiping him.

    How many modern Jews actually believe in JHVJ - especially after the Holocaust?
