    gotta love (sarcasm) that my people tied the political ideology of Zionism in with their faith and ethnicity, so now braindead liberals think they’re the same.

    Zionism is as far from the Mitzvah you can get, they’re about as Jewish as American Christians are Catholic. (which is to say, not very much at all)

      And ultimately it’s the tying of Zionism with Judaism that’s going to result in a lot of the anger being misdirected from the Israeli state to average Jews there and elsewhere who had no power and nothing to do with this. If Netanyahu’s goal was to make places other than Israel less safe for Jews (especially places with poor hate-crime protection and prosecution), mission accomplished.

      But it genuinely might be, because if that becomes the case then there may be an influx of Jews into Israel seeking safety which he could use to justify expanding further into the West Bank and Gaza.
