Why do many Jews like to use American names in political rooms when debating islam or defending Israel?

Because they like to use America for their own interest as they have been. It makes me wonder too.

There are all kinds of Jews... just like everyone else.  There are left-wing Jews, right-winged Jews, Jews in prisons, in the army, and everywhere else.  I'm sure they have every kind of opinion that anyone else can have.  Americans are very individualistic and enjoy the freedoms to do pretty much what they want without fear.  I'm sure they wouldn't follow instructions from anyone.  My own children dont follow my instructions.  They are Amreicans... and I'm Jewish.

No, it is not true.  There are several reasons for our support of Israel.  For one, they tend to do what we say, which is not a common response from nations in that region.  They also allow us to have bases in the area.  Finally, many Jewish organizations lobby heavily on behalf of Israel, and that does have an effect on political thought.  But as to our government being largely Jewish, I would say that the Christian right currently have a monopoly on government these days.

Oh its not just the Jews.  There are as many Muslims in the USA as there are Jews.  And about 10% of American citizens are foreign born.  Everybody wants to be an American.  We have big problems with between 10-13 million illegal immigrants in this country.  This is a country of 300 million people and the Jews are only 5 million. (1.7%)

Theoretically if u criticize Israel or Israel's policies you are not antisemitic .You just disagree with the way things are done in there...this doesn't make you racist...unfortunately ,in real life if you are anti Israel you will automatically be labeled as an anti semitic...or even terrorist...

Don't forget by the time this statement was told, there was a war between muslims and jews and that statement was probably needed to encourage muslism to fight. Now with new trend of Islam (promoted by aplogists), no more war and therefore no need for such a statement.

there were some during WWII that wanted to also ( we called them traitors back then) now you get called a bigot if you call them traitors.\n\nIt is all political, those that want to do it, would rather risk America be considered weak, or even allowing us to lose, so they can win thier political goals.

I think I understand where you are going there.  My timid answer is 'yes'.  You may be sympathetic to the Jewish cause, but know that Israel (back then there was no Israel) is a pawn in the American military that causes more strife than it's supposedly worth.  \nJust know that Israel is located VERY strategically in the middle east, ok.  While we, as modern day Americans, think that Palestinians and Jews should just get along, there are big religious problems there.  We're Americans, we understand that.  Both sides deserve to occupy land they consider to be holy and to live in peace with each other.  The issue is, they consider the same land to be holy for different reasons.  That is why America is there.  Americans revere Jerusalem as Jews do.  So, we pretend that we support them when in actuality we are there to police the middle east.

Semites are middle eastern people and include Arabs and Israelis.  The Jews in America kind of co-opted the term so they could accuse people of picking on them.  One stupid girl reporter from the US actually asked Anwar Saddat if he was "anti-Semitic".  Pres. Saddat told her that would be foolish of him since he was a Semite.

A Zionist is someone who supports the Israeli government on religious and political grounds.\n\nWhy would you assume that they want to destroy America? You're been hanging around too many paranoid conspiracy theorists. Next think you know you'll be telling us the Holocaust didn't happen. Come on, I'm as opposed to war and oppression as the next guy, but it's ridiculous to blame the whole world's problems on a single nation. Besides, the Israeli government has made some positive steps towards establishing peace in the Middle East in the past year. Give them a break and stop being paranoid and xenophobic.

I am one of those people! Sorry; it's such a habit that I'm not aware of it.\nIn Judaism, G-d's Name is so sacred & holy that it is never written out. We don't even say His Name. The terms you may hear others use such as YHVH or Jehovah are highly offensive & never used because they are inaccurate.\nWhen Jewish people pray, we use the term "Ha Shem" which literally means "The Name". We may also use the term "Adonai" which means "L-rd".\nHope this helps!\nAnd, it's wrong for me to write the word "Adonai". For me to write it like Jews do, it needs to be missing a vowel, but you'd then ask what THAT means!!!!!!!!!!! It should say "Ad-nai".

I wish I controlled America.......\n\nOh, you didn't mean "you", you really were trying to say "Jews". Okay.\n\nI thought you were asking, "Why do you control America"\n\nSorry.

Because they don't want debate, just vindication and validation. I use my real name and have my email on my "about me" page and my 360 page. \n\nThe vast majority of people on the politics board are here to spew insults and hatred rather than to actually learn or teach, which is contrary to the purpose of this forum.

It's not just you.  I have also witnessed this and it greatly disturbs me.  You can go to a Muslim chatroom almost any time of day and find people insulting Jews.  If one wants to really insult someone in those rooms, they'll call them a "Jew" or "Jew-lover."  I get so mad.  They habitually deny the holocaust, and yet believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which has been proven to be a fabrication.  \n\nEarly in the Prophet Muhammad's career, there was a Jewish tribe that made a treaty with him.  But they broke the treaty.  Of course, they were probably not being treated as equals since they never converted to Muhammad's new religion.  But this set a very bad precedent, unfortunately for the Jews.  Because the Muhammad then recited verses of the Qur'an which were directed against "the Jews."  Of course, this more than likely meant THOSE Jews from that one tribe who had broken the treaty, and not Jews in general.  However, there are various verses in the Qur'an that seem like they are applying more generally to all Jews.  And there are some very very negative statements in there against Jews.\n\nFor example, the Qur'an says that the Jews had received a revelation from God, but that they twisted it and changed it, and to punish them, God turned them into detestable apes!  There is a statement in the Qur'an about the Jewish nose, implying it is crooked on account of sin.  There are whole suras (chapters) in there just going on and on about Jews and it is really NOT positive.\n\nThere ARE positive statements in the Qur'an about Jews.  But I do not think it outweighs the negative ones therein at all.\nThere was a time when Muslims and Jews got along better - when the Jews were subordinate to the Muslims.  As long as the Muslims were over the Jews, the Muslims were ok with Jews.  But when the Jewish state of Israel was created, everything went way downhill.  The Palestinians saw it as a takeover and an infiltration.  (even though it was Britain that had owned the land before).\n\nThere is a deep rift and it will take a lot to heal it, I'm afraid.

Jews have always been in the area now known as Israel.\n\nA short allegory of Israel:\n\nPretend that Israel is an apartment building.\n\nSome jews live there, some Arabs (Jordanians). Many empty nasty apartments.\n\nThe Health Department says you Jews need a place to live. Take these places, fix them up, live here.\n\nTired Jews move into vacant apartments, in spite of the hatred and attacks and murders by the Arabs (Jordanians).\nThem fix up the apartments, live quietly, and protect themselves.\n\nHealth Department comes by and says, good job, you can keep the apartments and the building itself.\n\nJews now own the building. Arabs (Jordanians) say "Oh my God, they will murder and kill and rob and rape us simply because we murdered and killed and robbed and raped them, how unfair!!"\n\nArabs (Jordanians) run away leaving vacant apartments.\n\nAbandoned apartments become property of the landlords (Jews) and are turned over to other settlers who move in.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) go to all other Arab countries and whine about reparations and poverty. Other Arab Countries kick them out.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) decide that they need a new image.\n\n"Hey!!! We're Palestinizers now! Palestinites? Palestonians? Palesturgers??? (Gets out Liberal Arab Talking Points Crib notes) Oh! Palestineans! Right. These mean thoughtless cruel non burkah wearing Jews have DRIVEN us from our ancestral lands in Palestan. Wait!! Palestine. Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo (are the cameras still on me?) Hoo. We are peaceful people so murder them, rape their women, crush their children, blow up their weddings, funerals, cafe's, busses, wait - don't hurt the furniture, we'll need that!"

Jews are not chosen by anyone much less God.But they suffered inhuman treatment from Nazis and are facing insults from Neonazis.For Jews it is a question of survival.They get military support from U.S.A.whose presidents need electoral support from immigrant Jews.Jerusalam(literally means land of peace)is divided into three parts theologically and emotionally among Christians,Jews and Muslims.(Past) History does not decide present politics.One country`s terrorists are another country`s freedom fighters.One hopes Jews and Palestinian Muslims recognise the right of each other`s existence,and super powers co operate with both to find lasting peace.May God help all.

because ISRAEL is the homeland of all jews, and has been jewish land since before arab muslim occupiers came to it. It has been jewish land since before islam ever even exsisted.... Now lets end revisionist history, there was never a country, state, or nation called "palestine" EVER! There is no language, history, culture or people called palestinian. so-called palestinians ARE arabs.. no different in anyway. ARABS were not called "palestinian" until 1963 when egyptian born arafat began to call them that. arabs have 22 nations. jews just one. This is a religious war by islam against the jews of israel. from 48-67 arabs occupied gaza, west bank and 1/2 of jeruslam but a "palestinian" state was never made, even more proof that this has nothing to do with so-called palestinians. There has never been a christian/palestinian sucide bomber.. not one more proof this is a religious war.\nIsrael is just one of 28+ nations under attack by islam currently.
