Amen. The scary part here is that Another View, Pirana, SJackson, Malaki, etc. want CHIRSTIANS IN ISRAEL JAILED FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL. They can disguise it with personal attacks, extemism, and pseudo-distinctions between those nasty "prosteltyzing" evangelical Christians and harmless "ecumenical" Christians (the latter being the very ones who lobby loudest for the Palestinians), but they still want CHRISTIANS IN ISRAEL JAILED FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL, and seem to be admitting it.
If they go after children, yes they should be jailed. Or the parents of said kids should get a chance to punch them out. If they go after adults, no, they should not be jailed. They can do what I always do and give them the International Sign of Discontent and Displeasure.
Now, for someone who has been here all of 2 weeks, you seem to think you know much about several posters here. Tell us, what was your old screen name?
Another View, Pirana, SJackson, Malaki,
MAlakhi, SJackson are really good freepers and are honest about the issues they beleive in. Anotherview I have a problem with not because he doesn't agree with me but because he sounds like a foreigner that does not respect the United States IMO.
Pirana seems to be naive and has lived in a glass bubble IMO....
This thread can be controversial and maybe we can all learn a little something from each other that is positive.
I personally think people should be jailed for excessive use of capitalization.
Admit it? I'm rather proud of it.
Israel is a nation of laws. If someone can not respect Israel's laws, yes they should be jailed. If evangelical Christians prey on our children trying to convert them I want them jailed if they are Israeli and deported if they are not.
harmless "ecumenical" Christians (the latter being the very ones who lobby loudest for the Palestinians)
Really? All ecumenical Christians (by far the majority in the U.S.) lobby loudly for the Palestinians? If so, how do you account for the huger percentage of Americans who support Israel? The numbers that support Israel far exceed the evangelical and Jewish populations combined.
I actually thought many Freepers support Israel because of our shared national interests in fighting the war on terrorism rather than any religious motivation. I thought shared values and interests and a mutual love for freedom and democracy had something to do with it. Silly me.
As I've said many times, not just on this thread, I DEEPLY DISTRUST the so-called support of Israel by evangelical Christians because it comes with a huge string attached. I think GoldStateGOP put it best: I don't see the difference between the Arab who wants to destroy Judaism by killing us and you who wish to destroy Judaism by converting us. You still both want to destroy Judaism. As such, the price of your support is just too damned high. Indeed, I don't call it support at all, and I consider you, as a group, a most dangerous enemy.
Thankfully I know most Americans, even most American conservatives, are not evangelicals, and indeed many evangelicals don't feel a need to come to Israel to convert Israelis. Those that do, yep, throw them in jail or toss them out on their ears.
