Why Israelis support the Gaza offensive

Israel's post-traumatic war is not just about stopping Hamas rockets, but about repairing reputations -- and erasing the stain of failure.

    That's right something stinks, just ignore inconveient history

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

    An excuse to ignore history that refutes your premise.

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

    I'm quite familiar with them. The Khaganate is fascinating.

    I also know that Jew Haters like yourself, want to pretend that all Jews descend from the Khazars and then pretend that the Khazars aren't real Jews so they don't count.

    Preposterous. does describe your stance so far, which is lifted entirely out of Jew Hating literature to the point of plagiarism.

    You are just a liar.

    Feel free to call me whatever names floats your boats, it still doesn't refute the fact that you are wrong.

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

    Untrue, plenty of people would die for their beliefs. Even during the Holocaust people refused to convert. Jehovah's Witnesses could have saved themselves via conversion, but did not. They chose death along side Jews instead.

    Jews change religion within Judaism too. So what, cultures modify over time. Americans spell it theater now, not theatre. They're the same people still.

    You aren't doing animal sacrifices anymore and that seems a betrayal of the core of the religion.

    First, I'm not Jewish, so the use of you is incorrect.

    Second, Jewish animal sacrifice can only take place in the temple, which was destroyed in 70ce, so today there can't be animal sacrifice under the Jewish religion.

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

    Why would it even matter? When it suits you, religion is all that counts. Then when it suits you, religion doesn't count at all.

    You want to dismiss Jewish claims to Israel by stating that today's Jews are related to the Jews of history by blood, that it's only a religious claim, then you want to claim that the religion doesn't count because it's changed with time.

    The only consistency found in your arguments is Jew Hating. What ever can be argued that is most anti-Jewish is what you will advocate.

    Your only real argument with people like Wagner is that you know that saying Hitler had it right turns people off, and you want to convert others to your Jew Hating.
