I am agnostic.  If there is a God, I think (s)he has moral people around them, of all faiths.\n\nTo address your specific questions:  I doubt Jews are Gods chosen people (a quick review of history).  I do not believe JC was return.  I do see the Arabic-Israeli was as a religious war.  At least it started that way, over time thou I think people forget why they started fighting.  After such a prolonged conflict, you must know someone who was directly affected by the war, and they become your enemy regardless.  America was founded on freedom of religion.  To many it is a good thing that there is a place where Jews can practice their religion.  The views of Americans are as diverse as the middle east, we just have a much shorter history of war.

I think it is very foolish to blindly support Israel. The Arab/Muslim world's voice is ignored, and while this is being done, we will NEVER have world peace. (Here it comes: I am going to be branded a nazi anti-semite.... again, which I am NOT) I am saying: Let's LISTEN to what they have to say. I am not proposing the destruction of Israel, but sadly, Israel is regarded as a bastion of western democracy by some in the west, but as a cancer by most in the Arab/Muslim world, and the ONLY solution is to sit down and LISTEN to EVERYBODY'S view.\nI have had people writing to me pointing out that Egypt is a shining example of the acceptance of Israel in the Middle East;\nwhat a misconception, while they are receiving billions of dollars from the US, they are only paying lipservice to this socalled acceptance. The people in the Middle East allege that the state of Israel was IMPOSED on them, (which is partly true) and this will remain a festering sore in the search for peace in the region. Certain interest groups in the Western world have equated the call for a serious and analytical look a the situation as being 'anti-semitic' (the 'last taboo', as mentioned in the question.) While this 'equation' is heeded by western leaders, terrorism will flourish. Israel is acting like a little boy whose older brother is the strongest in the the school, and by extension, the little brat is going around doing whatever he likes, knowing that his BIG brother will protect him.\nWe should ask ourselves: For how long are we going to allow this situation to continue? Until we are FORCED to sit down and LISTEN, or until we have a war between religions? Is it too much to ask to LISTEN?

we have had Jew's as president of the U,S, and our congress and senate is 60%Jewish now, they own our news media , our monetary system and con troll our policies etc, but, don't forget they also had control of Germany for many years until a strong leader came along ,sure He was defeated but, only by 80%of the world fighting against him , and he was only as big as the state of Texas, and a country with app, 90million people , they have tried ruling the world several times but they have failed every time , what do you think will happen if the Americans wake up , a Jewish rabbi wrote a letter to the Jew's in the 50;s telling them if the Americans find out what you are doing there will be a real Holocaust

because there are many wealthy jews in America. They are politically motivated and know how to use the money paying off greedy politicians in Washington DC. I kinda sound antisimetic I guess but its just the truth, I have nothing against Jewish people. I just think that we (Americans) need to mind our own business. it's not like everything is hunky dory over here you know. And my god, how many times does history need to repeat itself? No matter what we do, it comes back to bite us in the ass in the end.

Your comment has merit. The heavy handed approach, seems to do little more than spawn new generations of anti-Israel kids. To call them Nazi-like will earn you score and reproach. I would simply say that their approach does not seem to be working.

Long story short :\n\nThe land used to belong to the Jews, a few thousand years ago. Romans kicked them out. They, in turn, were kicked out by the Arabs. Islam spread. The area became a part of the Ottoman Empire. World War I happpened.\n\nBritain told the Ottomans to support them, if they did, they'd make the whole land one happy large Arab country.\n\nBritain told the Jews to support them, if they did, they'd give them a nice spot where they used to reside in Biblical times.\n\nWhoops. Conflict between Arabs and Jews breaks out, Britain says "Heh". Refers matter to newly created UN. UN splits Palestine up. Arabs weren't happy, attacked Israel.\n\nRepeat and rinse, and we're still fighting for over 50 years.\n\nclumsyguy : Yeah, because the Arabs were there for a few hundred years. No wonder they're angry. \n\nIt's like if the Native Americans started bombing themselves up and demanding the US be returned to their control. While they have a point, it's not our generation's fault, and they should seek a more peaceful way.

Jewish people do discuss their opinion on the immigration issue.  I don't live in the United States at the moment so I'm a bit out of the loop on this issue, but I tend to be very compassionate towards illegal immigrants.  I think it's important to remember that we were all created in the image of G-d, that all people are entitled to live with dignity, and that we should try to think of what is moral and what is just, and then make that into a legal reality.  Sometimes laws are not just.  One of the central ideas in Judaism is that it's our duty to create a more just world.

Hi. I'm new here to Yahoo Answers. Just want to know if anyone here a observant jewish people .. hey rev franworth stop trying to convert me.. i love being jewish

yeah right, like if the european people would had ever accepted the excistense of those very "friendly" neighboors such as the Jews. Israel existed only to fit in Palestine. Israel may had been offered all the american continent, but she wants the middle east, where she can control the 3 devine religions, and unleash its deadly conspiracies around the world. The so called promised land, back to thousands of years when Moises was still leading the jews, is so very pathetic, and the story of statut of Soulayman doesn't convince me.\nIsrael has entered an unfinished war in the region, and only 2 outcomes: the end of arabs and mulims ( highly improbable) , or the perish of Israel ( not too far ).\nSo I advise the american and europeans to reconsider their alliance with israel to avoid more terrorist acts.\nVictory is ours!   Hail Lebanon!

Taking cues and names from the Jews I see.Do you honestly have the gall to compare your selves to the plight of the Jews? How absolutely asinine.Is there nothing sacred to you?Have 6 million illegal aliens died i by the hand of any one.Has any one told you that you don't have the right to exist?That's deplorable to me to use this .Shame on you! Illegal aliens are not legal ,you should be ashamed to even think your illegal activities can be compared to that of the Jews.

My great grandfather escaped from Auswitz nazi death camps and I lived with this history in my own family. I am no genious or nothing like that but I thought I'd take a stab at it since its part of my own families history.\n\nEconomic _- well, it was WWII! It got the united States out of the depression because we made bullets and guns and war stuff that the world bought!\nIt destrpyed all of Europe and so Europe was in an economic crisis and suddenly the US was quite prosperous and Europe was hurting.\n\nJapans at that time was in total economic ruin especially after Heroshima and Naggasaki.\nJapanieze products were the joke of the entire industry untill Dr. Edwards Demming came on the scene and single handedly resurrected the entire japanieze economy.\n\nSocial, well, at that time everyone for a while totally sympothized with the Jews across the board except for the British and the Arab countries.\nSo on a social scale Jews were more accepted than before by Allied countries.\n\nPoliticle- this was the time when David bengurian proclaimed the national rebirth of the nation of ISREAL! the British faught tooth and nail to prevent this as did the Arab countries with the United nations. But eventually world wide sympothy won out and the Jews gained their own homeland, Isreal. this was also a time of mutch internation reform concerning war and the geneiva hate convention laws. many new laws were inacted to help prevent such occurances again! we hope.\n\nReligeous- The Jews for the first time in decades were free to worship their own way. Though not widly accepted, the jewish faith was finally able to be freely expressed by Jews world wide though some anti sematic jewish factions still existed especially in the united States.\n\nmy great grandfather feared for my families security here in the US so he sahved his beard, wore a suit and dropped the Orthodox faith to help save us and we were all raised regular christians. All because of the anti semitism that still existed here even after WWII. I never had a barmitsva, nor was raised in the jewish way but my family is bloodline Jewish. I still till this day wonder about my own Jewish roots.\n\nIn the words of my grandpa- "We must never forget the Holocost!\n\nHere's a little fun fact for you.\nDid you know that the term Holocost did not come from Europe?\nNo one in Europe ever termed that time period of the nazi's demonic reign of terror the Holocost.\n\nThe term Holocost was coined actually by America.\n\nSo there you go, a bit of history lesson for ya.

It probably should, given the fact that they are Jewish and singing songs like "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and other decididly Christian-based carols.\n\nBut for some unknown reason I don't care one way or the other.  All artists are out to line their pocketbook and with a large percentage of Americans being Christian and believing in Christ, these Jewish singers can make a good chunk of change by singing songs that they most likely don't believe in.\n\nI guess they feel that Adam Sandler has a strong-hold on the Jewish Holiday song with his fantastic "Haunakah"!\nIf they can;t beat em'- join em'!

I think this will be the best solution for the Middle East.\n\nThe Jews can all migrate to US as even at present more Jews are living there than those living in Israel.

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.

You know, I never realized this until the last year or so, and see how old I am! A bit dense, I guess. I feel like some of this goes back to the U.S. being so Christian and religiously based. They probably feel like the Jews are still 'gods' chosen people, and want to protect and be in league with them.\nIn a way, I undestand wanting to protect helpless people. However, Israel is not a helpless country any longer, probably more powerful than a lot of other countries.
