‘Tis the day before Christmas and all through the blog
The day has become a consumerist bog…….
It is that time of the year when people say “peace and joy to the world”….but how many actually mean it from their heart?
These days there seems to be a whole lot of disdain for any compassion…..which is truly sad for I know that Americans are much better than the rhetoric of the day.
But while some are bad mouthing a religion they do not understand….there is a similar discourse by one that they feel some how akin to…..I read an article that I felt I needed to pass on during this season of “glad tidings”…..
Lehava group’s Benzi Gopstein says Christmas not wanted in Israel, and says of Christians: ‘Remove the vampires before they drink our blood’ –Israeli anti-racism activists have called for an investigation after a far-right Jewish leader urged a ban on Christmas celebrations in the country and called Christians “vampires”.
Benzi Gopstein, who heads the far-right Lehava organisation and has been arrested a number of times, made the comments in an article on the ultra-Orthodox Jewish website Kooker.
“Christmas has no place in the Holy Land,” wrote Gopstein, who lives in a Jewish settlement in Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
He spoke of the “fall of the line of defence of the Jewish people for hundreds of years against our enemies, the Catholic Church.”
“The mission of those vampires and bloodsuckers remains. If Jews cannot be killed, they can be converted,” he wrote.
“We must remove the vampires before they drink our blood once again.”
The Coalition Against Racism in Israel and others have called on authorities to investigate Gopstein.
In August, Israeli police questioned Gopstein after he condoned torching churches amid an uproar over recent hate crimes, including the firebombing of a Palestinian home that killed a small child and both his parents.
On June 18, an arson attack occurred at a shrine on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel where Jesus is believed to have performed the miracle of loaves and fishes.
Israeli prosecutors have charged three Israelis in that case.
Lehava claims to fight for Jewish identity, in particular by opposing marriages between Jews and gentiles.
This pervert and those that think along those lines are destroying this world with their hatred…..it is not limited to one religion or the other…..maybe the world needs a little more compassion and understanding….it could not hurt…..at least in my opinion……
You see stupid is everywhere…….tolerance is in short supply….even in this season of joy……
Well, that nice Mr Santa won’t be calling at his house tonight, so it’s his loss!
I knew a very religious fly with a heart as big as all outdoors who one day decided he was going to practice tolerance, love and brotherhood with the spider who lived just two tree branches away.
The spider, being an observant and wise old arachnid smiled and laughed and danced at the tolerant, loving, accepting attitude of the fly all the way to the last strand of the web he was spinning to enshroud the trusting, loving, tolerant fly in its cocoon of doom.
Amazing that the radical Jew gets nothing but yet my call for tolerance and understanding does…..now that is the true face of Christianity..
Exactly! If you are a student of Scriptures you will soon discover that the end game agenda for the Christian Faith is to “Preach The Gospel Unto All The Ends Of The earth” and those who convert shall be saved and those who do not will end up in Hell burning ceaselessly for all eternity in a state of complete agonized awareness with no relief ever.
Now if that doesn’t somewhat parallel the expectations of Islam I am not able to conceive of what does.
Both Christianity and Islam have world dominion as their ultimate objective and neither one of the ideologies is the least bit hesitant about seeing great masses of human beings die in order to bring their dreams about.
I think what this world needs is a few more “Radical” Jews. I think the world would be a better place with a few more “Radical” Jews. I remember the JDL and I thought it was a great thing.
Well, chuq, all I can do is, once again, refer to a couple of pearls….
“Stupid is as stupid does…” — Mama Gump
“You can’t fix stupid.” — Ron White
IMLTHO, they’re all fucking idiots. It’s what happens when one bases their entire life on delusional beliefs….
Hmph.
gigoid, the dubious
😈
So sad and so true….chuq
Excuse Me….as I woz sayin…
Just How Tolerant Am I Supposed to Be?
😉
As tolerant as is comfortable for you….
A relative term..
There comes a time….when enuf is enuf…..otherwise I am gonna be walked on…..
grin…
Sometimes too much “Compassion and Understanding” can get you hurt … badly!
Only if you let it……but you make a good argument for not caring and ignorance….it is 2016 and elections thrive on such.
Thanks for your comment.
John, please do not take that as a slight to you was not intended that way….
I take nothing personally … ever … unless I am specifically mentioned.
I am pleased it was a long night on the Skype….I have been working late every night…so I get cranky…if you know what I mean…LOL
“Cranky” is my normal state.
LOL…but lovable, right?
some people think so … I am among my greatest fans … so there is at least one.
