We support a lot of ingrates.
And for those in the more Orthodox areas, rocks will be thrown at cars that run on the SABBATH. No ‘fire’ is suppose to be lit, on teh Sabbath, not even in spark plugs.
When in Rome. LOL
Doesn’t the Greek Orthodox hierarchy support the PLO and rail against Israel?
1. Keep in mind this is Haartz, which is secular and despises observant Jews. They are known for NYT quality journalism.
2. Many of the Haredi are generally anti-zionist, despise Jews other than themslves, and do this to everyone, not just Christians.
Classy bunch over there.
Anti-Christian bigotry is rife in Israel. Whenever the subject comes up here on FR those who acknowledge the hatred of Christians by some Jews (and tolerance and cover-up of this hatred by some others, Jews and otherwise) are roundly criticized for daring to point this out. But I believe that it strengthens Israel just as it strengthens all of humankind to tell the truth regarding such matters. Genuine pluralism is absolutely necessary for human advancement. No one can be allowed to remain exempt from the requirement to respect the faith of others.
Yeah, they spat in in the Son of God’s face as well.
Spit back and then invite them to join you for an AIDS cocktail, for which you are already late.
How To Win Friends And Influence People
While Christians are hated worldwide, it will not always be the case that the Jews will hate those who have been grafted in.
Some old fracker spits on me, I’m going to return the favor with a deep, long, sinus clearing hawk right in his eye.
Disrespect is a two way street.
I pray for the peace of Jerusalem every day. I respect and revere the purposes of God in preserving Israel, and I look forward to the day of their redemption, when as Ezekiel describes, they once again stand as a mighty army before God (Ezekiel 37).
I will go further... I can honestly say that I would never condone nor participate in a military action against Israel. Ultimately, to fight Israel is to be at odds with the purposes of God.
BUT, Israel has LONG had a problem with knowing who to trust and who to fear. They have historically had a tendency to bite the hand that feeds them. This trend apparently continues.
Israel should understand that this won’t help them before the greater masses of the Western Public. By allowing such foolishness in their streets, they encourage their enemies in the US and Europe. They are putting themselves in a situation in which only God can save them...
Even so, Lord Jesus, come...
I don’t blame the Jews...and can handle their spit...What I couldn’t handle is they way they have been treated for the last 6000 years.
You’d think these Christian-hating spitters might be a bit more worried about the fanatical Muslims than the shrinking minority of Christians in the Holy Land.
Are we allowed to object to this behavior post holocaust ?
