re: #408 Obdicut

Is there some reason you can’t repeat what all out war means, then, or link to that comment?

I’m kind of surprised by you, partly by the way that you are ignoring the secular history of Israel and conflating Jewish religious identity with Jewish identity. But also because it appears that what you called for in your deleted comment was the destruction of Muslim religions sites you consider abominations— because they share the same location as a Jewish religious holy site.

Obdi, Israel is a Jewish state, run as a democracy, but also run under Jewish law. You keep calling it secular. It is NOT secular. This is really a weird point you’re making. Have you ever visited? Jerusalem, the heart of Israel for goodness sake, is not secular! I’m not sure even the “non-religious” would be called secular because they abide by most of the Jewish customs anyway.

Sorry athiests. You can’t remove God from Israel. Or what the hell does it mean? None of it would mean anything, not the churches, not the mosques or the temple, not Jesus, Mohammad or Moses.

Yikes!
