The actual quote : "Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon."

Although I prefer Myron Cohen's version:

Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine HAD DIABETES!

Jews Have More Claim to Jerusalem than the French in Paris or Germans in Berlin

Amen.

history shows undeniably that the greatest persecutions of Jews have come at the hands of Western Christian society—tracing back clear to the first Roman Empire.

Is the author high?

Rome was not Christian and in fact by the time Christians came to be, they swiftly became torches for the avenues that Roman Jews walked along.

Further, the Holocaust was perpetrated by a very non-Christian body.

Jews are not the only religious group to suffer persecutions.

Depends on how you look at it.

Jerusalem is God's City, he just allowed the Jews to live there.

Now that he kicked them out using the Romans, destroyed the Temple (as Jesus prophesied), the question is whether the current state of Israel has been properly restored to the Jews by God Himself; or did the Rothschild influence over the British Government (the Balfour Declaration) represent an attempt to do an end-run around God's plan.

Considering the level of corruption in Israeli society, the "Samson Option", that prostitution is completely legal, etc. I question whether this behavior represents the Godly nation that is supposed to be "a light to all nations". What percentage of Israelis are religious vs. secular?

INDEED. INDEED. INDEED.

If the Arabs don’t want to live with Jews they can go back to Jordan or Egypt.
