Controversial General Political Discussion

if he's having troubles with one of the aspects of religion then it isn't for him

I don’t think Zionism is an aspect of the religion.

I think it’s something else entirely.

Do you guys have anything written in scripture about this?

Lots of jews in Portugal too.Spain expelled them before shortly before the era of navigation started.Most of them ended up in Portugal.

Interesting story:
A lot of them made it to and were welcomed into the Ottoman Empire of that time. And a contingent of them ended up in Bosnia, mostly in Sarajevo.
During the most recent war in the 90s, an important Jewish book, called the Haggadah, was protected by Bosnian citizens and saved from certain destruction. It's now honorarily refered to as the Sarajevo Hagada.
And because it's so fragile, it's only brought out for viewing 4 times a year.

One of the aspects of religion is community building, which tends to be very tribalistic.

obviously the death of journalist is bad, but you don't have to misrepresent it

i mean unless the reporter was standing near hezbollah i don’t see how this makes it any better

idf is supposed to be very precise and intelligent and if they can’t hit the correct targets how are we supposed to believe they’re hitting their targets in gaza?

Cool,do they have the contents of that book published somewhere?

This thread was civil until now.What happened?

the new Tejas™ model has arrived. It's not very creative i gotta say

Zionism is Jewish people adopting a European Ideology of Ethnic Nationalism

racists use the same argument to say ashkenazi jews aren't europpeans
https://forward.com/community/405016/no-ashkenazi-jews-are-not-functionally-white/

I had to stop reading after the first few paragraphs. It's a bad argument if only because different races are... different. Maybe the peer he's responding to had a flawed argument but you gotta take it off that track if you want to make a good point

 

[NikaInParis]

Hamas btw pretty much broke most "wartime rules" of the Quran

Just like ISIS, Al Qaida, and all other militant organisations
Which is why 99% of Muslims (i.e. those not associated with them) distance themselves from them and often call them non Muslim.
And yet 99% of the world equates all muslims to those militants

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

Feel like this is just every religious community

if I was a Hindu, id probably have to deal with shitty hindutva supporters that want to kick the Christians and Muslims out of India.

I mean a different Jewish community

Because dying from a shelling of an ongoing conflict is very different from being killed in "an open field" for no reason.

idf is supposed to be very precise and intelligent and if they can’t hit the correct targets how are we supposed to believe they’re hitting their targets in gaza?

You can say that without making it sound like they went out their way to kill a media member

If Europpeans Jews aren't semitic or even Europpean,what are they?All this race stuff is retarded.They were literally calling a white man black.The should call him mixed race or whatevernot straight up black.The 1% rule is dumb.

It's about identity

I doubt it, but you can look up the illustrations of it just by googling Sarajevo Haggadah

Hamas is legit already blaming "outside" forces for their behaviour once they realised that most of the world got disgusted by the warcrimes

Its the media,man.Growing up,the stuff associated with Islam that popped up in the local media was basically:
*War in the middle east.
* Terrorism.
*9/11
*Bin Laden.
*Al Qaeda.
*Sadam Hussein.
Most people here know very little about Islam.I'm still to read the Quran myself.

 

[Midnight Delight]

Sadam Hussein.

???
He was a secular Iraq Nationalist who compared himself to Gilgamesh

I thought he called himself babylonian

I mean it goes,both ways - I'm sure people from the Muslim majoeity areas don't have proper exposure to other religions and societies. All by design, as is on the other side of the world.

On the Balkans, we are generally more informed about other religions due to living side by side for centuries. People at least know the basics
