Angry Salami posted:So why's Morocco Africa's only green country? I can't imagine it's that much safer than, say, Namibia or Botswana... Are they maybe including disease concerns as well as personal safety? Never been there. Maybe tourism? tourism create a reason to have a peaceful area so the tourist stay and waste their money.

I know Morocco used to be a major tourist destination for the French. Pretty much everybody I know who spent any amount of time in France has visited Morocco. This may be dated since my sample set is mostly from before or during the Iraq War.

That's why I hated my trip to Spain. Loved Italy though, so I'm surprised to see they're also pretty anti semitic. I guess they just hide it better

"The Jews are responsible for the death of Christ" is kind of a tricky question. Like, yeah, I'm sure most of the people who said yes to that are shitheads, but at the same time, someone who accepts the Gospel account of the Crucifixion as the historical truth could say yes to that question thinking in terms of "some Jews 2000 years ago were responsible for the death of Christ" without necessarily having the added meaning "therefore all Jews are evil and can never be trusted."

While Indian Railways is pretty well developed, with massive ridership, most of that ridership isn't traveling far enough distances for a plane flight to make sense. And among the ridership where it could make sense, it'd often be out of range for affordability.

The problem is that the statement has always been an accusation against Jews as a group. It's never about some Jews in Jesus' time. When even the Church publicly denounced the idea in the 60s (including the historical truth aspect of it), you don't get a pass for still believing in it.

Likewise, it's reasonable to think that the Rothschilds and other families that happen to be Jewish have too much financial power, but that's not how the question is phrased and the lack of a distinction is telling in itself.

The Jews who exist anywhere in the world today are so radically different ethnically, theologically, culturally, etc etc from the Jewish priesthood described in the Gospels that ideally anyone who subscribes to the "the Pharisees got Jesus killed" theory would have no bone to pick with the Jews today. It usually doesn't work like that though. I mean reading the Gospels as a Jew, you can definitely see how Jesus was the good guy and the priesthood was pretty corrupt. They were written for Jews, after all. Money changers? In the Temple?? On Shabbos??? You flip that table, Yeshua!

Every time I've been in Italy for the last 10 years I've always had a concierge who didn't want to deal with non-Italian speakers but they'd be more than happy to delay our service to talk about how the stars in the EU flag are because of the 13 Jewish families. My wife speaking competent (albeit absolutely business) Italian and my non-speaking but understanding (by way of Latin and Spanish -- admittedly neither very good) does not seem to phase them. In fact, based my physiognomy, a lesser person might presume that they've meant for me to understand and that's also why my service was delayed/refused.

I wonder how big the overlap is between “the Holocaust was so long ago, the Jews should stop talking about it“ and “the Jews killed Christ!  “, and if one of them ever noticed the hypocrisy.

Surely the death of Christ is an objectively good thing, since it allowed the salvation of at least some of mankind. If you are a Protestant, his sacrifice is in fact the only thing that made the salvation of the elect possible (as all of mankind is irredeemably corrupted). Those Jews should logically be applauded for playing their role in the master plan to perfection.

Like most DDR parts of Germany, the real trick is how they tell time. I have no idea how the Danes tell time but (and I'm not telling you this) if you ever wanted to annex a politically sensitive part of Germany including the traditional capital then maybe consider adopting proper Ossi chronology. I promise you. Blood, tradition, biology -- nobody cares. But people care about how you call time. They may be aging out but those are the only people who vote!

"Jews are more loyal to Israel than [random European country]" is probably accurate as a whole. Like most Jewish people don't even live in Europe, the greatest numbers are in the US and Israel, so if you picked a Jewish person at random and asked "do you care more about Israel than Luxembourg?" then the answer would probably tend towards Israel. Same if you picked one of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world at random and asked "which is more important, Mecca or Birmingham?" It's obviously being asked in the sense of national loyalty though, in which case a lot of those European countries should be more worried about the direct hotline to the Roman Pope that all Catholics in office allegedly have. (I bet the low numbers of people crediting Jewish people for the Ascension of the Messiah across Western Europe is probably more to do with people not knowing much about the Christian Gospels than evidence for a lack of antisemitism.)

The real hypocrisy is placing Jesus on that pedestal of eternal infinite eternal truth and worth, while not at all living up to his teachings on forgiveness (and probably a whole lot more.) A hypocrisy that relies on collective guilt to boot, which doesn't seem like his thing either. Jippa posted:It's a loving weird question. How is any one supposed to answer that?

Bloodnose posted:That's why I hated my trip to Spain. Theres very few jews in Spain. Spain come from a fascist dictatorship that was anti-semite and openly educated people in anti-semitism, and the people that lived in that period is still around. Some young leftist are pro-palestine. Why? I don't even know. Maybe because here the state of israel is "the man" and the palestinian the revels. Or something. Spanish anti-semitism is probably not a real thing. Few of the people with a anti-israel opinions have ever meet a jew in his life. It may even end in a few years when the old generation dies, and the new ones find a different thing to warr around than the intifada. The people against the state of israel policies with the palestinian are not racist, they are against some policies of some state, no the jew people. The Jesus thing was a suicide, suicide by cop. Supposedly he said what he said knowing the consequences. That to me reads has a suicide. To deny this is to deny the entire christian religion, because is to deny that what Jesus dead was intentional, a sacrifice. Tei fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Mar 6, 2017 |
