If you read enough of The Holy Bible (not "my" Bible) you will see that from the time of Moses and throughout, as a people, the Jews continually pissed God off and were punished by slavery and worse. Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews suffered greatly because they would not stop worshiping false idols and ignoring the Word of God. Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah talk of the future glory in store for them, but if you read enough you also discover the punishment that is on the way. How about being enslaved by Babylon? Don't be so "Democratic" by finding a verse or two that need to be left out of the context of the big picture to "prove" a point.

You have a great post here, and since so many of we Christians, are ignorant in the original Hebrew may we could start a Bible study starting in Genesis that would teach us what was actually written in the original Hebrew.

What irony to use coarse language when speaking of the Holy One bringing judgment upon a people.

If you will read your Bible for just a few pages you will find a lot about peoples and nations that NO LONGER EXIST, because of judgment of the Almighty. The Holy One, blessed by He, deals with His house first, and the fact that they still exist says far more than the average anti-Semite can comprehend. That is the history to which you are referring. That is the history of His beloved Israel and the Jewish people. Instead of using it as some sort of stereotypical polemic against Jews, why not reflect that He has so far been merciful to you.

You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. Yochannan [John] 4:22
