My point is that we are talking about Dutch Jews - not American Jews - who are under attack from the Dutch government concerning the Kosher killing of animals and circumcision. They’d be crazy to be anti-Israel. I have no idea what party Dutch Jews support.
On second thought, I hope they all go to Israel. I wish they would come here but I think America is turning against Jews and Israel. I blame Obama’s government and academia.
P.S.: We are already seeing hostility toward circumcision - I’m sure the Kosher killing of animals will be next, if it hasn’t started already. Anybody who has ever had a Kosher chicken (or as my mother calls it “a Jewish chicken” doesn’t know what they’re missing!!)
My daughter always buys Hebrew National hot dogs ;-).
I’ve read of opposition to Jewish slaughter practices in the US, but I don’t know that any laws have actually been passed. Maybe in a few cities?
I think the Obama Administration is a big problem, but the G.W. Bust administration wasn’t as supportive of Israel as I would have liked.
Au contraire, mon ami. It is entirely possible to ensure that both unconsciousness and death follow from the throat cutting, and that the animal is positioned so that gravity will drain the blood, without actually hoisting it upside down by its hind feet. See Temple Grandin. Also see the videos of kosher slaughter from Argentina, for how it’s done badly - the shochet (sp?) does not always manage one clean cut. That would be easier if the animal were properly restrained, and not terrified and struggling.
As for Islamic slaughter, that’s so often amateur hour. It’s feast day, kiddies, let’s go jump on some goats and get covered with blood.
