re: #96 Bob Levin

I’ll just add one thing.

But before I add it, I will say that from reading this thread it is clear to me that you like to engage in Jew-Baiting, and you’re good at it.

The founders of modern Israel were survivors of concentration camps or pogroms. There is a sociological difference between being the inmate or the guard. I could get angry or offended by your comment, but that is the point of Jew-baiting, is it not?

It’s too bad I’m not a betting person, because I believe I can anticipate where you will take this.

I have no clue what this Jew baiting is you mean you assume I just want to get Jews angry? You sound like those freeper kooks on a creationist vs evolution thread.

I say I support the state of Israel like a dozen times but that is seen as some sort of tactic by a delusional person like you. I say I support the creation of a Palestinian state out of the West Bank, and I am also called some sort of Muslim lover or some such by you and the others t hat comment on these which is the 2 state solution is everyone’s official position for like 30 years now.

Some other dweeb asks me why I am not harping about the Muslim states around Israel when I have a multi year record of being against those states.

I belittle all laws and ideologies based on religion - all religions are fake and invented by men and there is no god and thus I will not respect any law based on a religious tenet. That includes Christianity as well as Islam and Hinduism, etc. But as long as no law is based on religion people should be free to practice it as consenting adults even if it ends up killing them as long as minors are not harmed. Etc. etc.

As for you, my long experience on Freerepublic and other right wing forums tells me that when someone can’t support or hold up his argument they cry foul and run away.

I did not bait nor did I switch. I did not cite conspiracy theories and sourced everything I said if I could with sources from legit sites.

I don’t like fairy tales and the Ethiopian rescue to Israel is a good thing but there are two aspects of it that I cite as being bad, one is the continued BS that they are a lost tribe of Israel, that is religious kookery just like Noah and the flood and the out of Egypt fairy tale. The next bad thing is that once the Ethiopians arrive they are coerced into giving up their Ethiopian traditions. That is horrible to me. I don’t want people believing in superstitions but I would never coerce a group to change their beliefs to confirm with my own.
