Can Zionist love of Israel ever be too much? Believe it:
A Teaneck synagogue [in New Jersey] may become a flashpoint this weekend in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Congregation B’nai Yeshurun will host a real estate fair aimed at persuading American Jews to buy property in the disputed territories of the West Bank.
“The purchase of a home … is an ideological gesture of love of the Land of Israel,” said a letter to potential American investors from the Israeli group that’s conducting the event.
But critics say such land sales would inflame the conflict by bringing more Jewish settlers to the predominantly Palestinian territories….
Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, the spiritual leader of B’nai Yeshurun, represents an Orthodox Jewish community that, generally speaking, opposes a Palestinian state and holds that Jews have a right, and a responsibility, to settle in the territories that are part of the biblical land of Israel.
Indeed, Pruzansky, who calls the territories by their biblical names of Judea and Samaria, said the meeting will be held in the sanctuary of his synagogue - rather than in its conference room - to underscore the notion of religious duty.
“It’s not occupied land - it’s disputed, unallocated land,” Pruzansky said. “And Israel certainly has a valid claim.”
He blamed the Mideast conflict on Arabs who don’t recognize Israel.
“I don’t think there is much hope for peace in my lifetime, unless the Messiah comes,” Pruzansky said. “And the main reason is that there are too many people who are not reconciled to Israel’s existence.”
Of course, illegal settlement expansion in Palestine is normal.
These people are becommign more vile by the day.
I wonder if Pruzansky is related to this guy.
Ant you give the game away the moment you talk about “Palestine.” His a tip for free. There is no such place as “Palestine.”
I hope this helps.
Given that Israel is sitting on Palestine, if there is no such thing as Palestine, there is no such thing as Israel. I hope this helps.
As a stamp collector over the last 60 years, I have several stamps which are NOT forgeries. The country they come from is Palestine!
When my grandmother and aunt travelled from South Africa on holiday in 1936, they went to a country for a visit and the country was called Palestine.
How come Palestine doesn’t exist?
A tip for you, Viva, go and learn a little history. Palestine exists, Palestinians exist, and Israel is sitting in the middle of Palestine!
Jews will continue to increase in numbers in Palestine because the Israelis are illegally selling land there to would-be settlers from the USA and elsewhere.
And, Viva, whether the Palestinians and Israelis like it or like it not, one day they will live in a one-state place with whatever name it gets called!
Viva is at it again,
He laments that the Arab countries historically threatened to wipe Israel off the map, but celebrates the fact that this is precisely what has happened to Palestine.
Nothing like getting rid of the evidence to hide the crime.
Here is a quote from Moshe Dayan to job his memory:
Mannie
Sorry, girlfriend, but “Palestine” existed for only 30 years. It ended the day Israel was declared and the day jordan and Egypt illegally invaded, ocupied, and annexed. Me thinks it is YOU who needs to the history books old son.
Wrong again Viva,
there was no mention of ending Palestine’s existence in the Balfour declaration or the UN Declaration recognizing Israel.
Your feeble attempt to tie the war with Egypt and Jordan with the ethnic cleasing of Palestinians from their homeland is disgusting. You should be ashamed. The enthic cleansing and theft of land were planned in March 1948 by Ben Gurion and 10 others.
You haven;t a clue about history silly boy.
Nor, Viva, am I your girl friend - because you are homophobic does not mean I am anybody’s girl friend!
You are so bigoted you can’t see the wood for the trees. Go teach your grandmother to suck eggs!
And actually it was Israel that illegally occupied and annexed.
And my sexuality is irrelevant to discussions on Israel/Palestine.
Mannie,
I noticed that it was the Zionist biggots who have attacked you for either your sexuality. Not surprising, give that they approve of enthic cleansing and genocide in Palestine, but they do trip themselves up when making the case that gay people are treated better in Israel than most Arab countries.
In Viva’s case, he argues that it’s OK to be a homophobe, so long as he doesn’t express it with violence.
Homophobic, racist. sexist and a zionist; Viva really is a well rounded persona. He manages to be wrong in every possible way.
Suze/Addamo/Mannie
Evidence of homophobia, racism, and Zionism please?
Suze
Pet, evidence that you have a vocabulary of more than 20 words would also help.
p.s. Do any of you actually have a university degree?
