I’m not Jewish, but were I not Christian I would not have the slightest objection to being Jewish. Is that OK to say?

I read a lot about the dissonance between American Jews (BDS, pro-Pallie state, we hate Netanyahu) and Israeli Jews who live with the deadly Muslim threat day by day.

Asked my rabbi (known each other for years); he said that many believe that you can be liberal without being Jewish, but you can’t be Jewish without being liberal. He’s a Reform rabbi who demonstrated to our dialogue group the Orthodox customs of phylacteries, prayer shawl, sounding shofar, wearing kippah, and the meaning of Kaddish.

Asked my pastor (Catholic); he held up a Christian Bible & pointed out that over three fourths of its pages consist of the Hebrew Scriptures. He went on to say that a believing Christian should regard him/herself as part Jewish.

Anti-Jewish hatred in our universities: what makes its purveyors any different from the Nazis? Their friends in Hamas display swastikas but where’s the protest?

Well the lib Jews and Non-Jews here can’t put me in a concentration camp like the Nazis did to my father. We do have the 1st amendment for Dem (and us too) and the 2nd amendment for the rest of US. It’s great that Libs Jews and non-Jews despise Guns/2nd amendment isn’t it?-)
