Perhaps unacceptable to you, but not to a Jew. The Talmud commands...
"If a man comes to kill you, rise up and kill him."The life of an innocent has more value than the life of an aggressor. The object of that aggression may thus kill to protect his life. And on a tactical note, if the dagger is already at your throat, you're dog meat.
Interesting isn't it? The man is trying to build bridges and putting his life where his mouth is and they want to silence the man. I've been reading a number of things by him. While I don't agree with everything he states (especially his apologetic for Mohammed's actions in slaughtering 600-900 Jews and the treatment of the Jews in Arab Islamic lands) he is the type of person who would facilitate the building of bridges between the Jewish, Islamic and Christian communities. If he is representative of the Islamic community in Rome then God bless his efforts to bring understanding and reconciliation. He was excoriated by CAIR as well which tells you where CAIR is.
FWIW, I have read that He offered His laws to all the people's of the earth, and the Jews were the only one's to accept it. That does not make the others bad... the others only have 7 laws to live by, while the Jews have 613 laws to live by. In this respect it is a burden to be a Jew. They can't eat everything, they have to dress a certain way, they can't shave, they have to pray 3 times a day, etc, etc, etc. I have also read that in order to get the Israelites to accept these Laws, He held Mount Sinai over their heads and threatened to kill them all if they refused.
Amen!
You should applaud the suicide bombers since they bring the tally of dead Jews closer to that of dead Palestinians.
No, just pointing out that murder and killing are not one in the same
We need to send in UN/NATO troops.
And what do you propose they do when they get there? Do you consider the UN a neutral party? What part of NATO is being threatened?
I don't know who your god is but it is not the God who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

How is it "conservatives" -- of all people -- must jibe with a theocracy which, technically, cares so little for gentiles that they do not proselytize as a rule and even exclude their own from the Jewish "homeland"? What business have we defending some state the British and the UN and some atheist Jew terrorists set up to crank dynamics in the Middle East under the cover of "Zion" SANS Messiah?
Cafes and restaurant were favorite targets of Zionist along with poor residential neighborhoods. More than 500 civilians were killed in the years of 1937 and 1938 alone.
On April 16, 1939, Zionist terrorists randomly shot two Arab civilians near Betah Takfe settlements setting up many similar instances where innocent civilians were randomly shot week after week. A study showed that the 6 months before the birth of Israel, over 1,000 Arabs were killed and almost a million scared or evicted from their homes. This is not only terrorism but mass terrorism, designed to force Muslims to migrate elsewhere.
These operations became more cruel when Zionist realized that a Jewish state was a possibility. The problem for the Zionist was however the security of the Jews.
The world however can obviously see that the Zionist did not want to mix with Arabs.
Around the second half of December 1947, Zionist attacked civilians in villages within the Haifa sub-district and soon they moved to villages in the sub-district of Safad and Tabaraya.
Over 170 men, women and children civilians were killed in these attacks. Although many Arabs were scared away at this point, this did not stop Zionist from attacking residents of Al-Tireh, Saasa, Kfar Husseiniya, Sarafand, Kalounya, Beyt Sourik, Aylaboun, Al-Shajara and Nasser Al-Dine killing 250 civilians. Israel however shocked the world when they slaughtered a few hundred civilians in the village of Deir Yassin, on the 19th of April. Even after the establishment of the Jewish state, Zionist still did not believe Israel to be pure.
In the summer of 1953, Israel attacked the camp of Bureig in Gaza, and then the village of Kubeiya killing 60 and wounding 90 Arab civilians. Every week seemed to bring another massacre at the hands of Zionists.
The more famous of these were the massacres at the village of Nahalin and the coast of Tabaraya lake killing around 20. In the 1956 war, Israel bombed villages in Gaza killing hundreds of civilians.
The 1956 massacres of Kfar Kassem and Khan Younus saw the deaths off 450 civilians which were mainly workers and farmers.
In 1966 and 1967, raids on Al-Nakib and Al-Sumu saw the deaths of 50 civilians.
