1. So YOUR perception is the problem? By the way, what was the "original religion?"
2. The Jewish homeland was DESTROYED. Ever hear of the Diaspora, pogroms or Holocaust?
3. The modern state of Israel is an example of self help.
4. What, exactly, do you want? Reparations? Condescension? White self flagellation? Revenge?
1. What do you mean by my perception? That speaks directly to my point. I can only guess what religion my particular ancestors practiced. Do you understand how important relgion is to a people. My god should reflect my values and my image. Slaves were force fed a white, blonde haired blue eyed god.
2. How did destroying it make Jews think negatively about it? That probably heightened their appreciation of their homeland and raised its memory to elevated status.
3. The modern state of Israel was gifted to Jews and protected by the super powers. They are more of an example of what happens when the super powers back a group of people until they are on their feet instead of an example of self determination. Again however, Jews span many colors so they dont really count in this even though they are the closest parallel.
4. Why are you asking me what I want? I just asked someone to name an ethnic group that went through what happened to Blacks here in the US. After that we can compare where that ethnic group is at in terms of progress as opposed to Blacks. I think it will turn on some lights for those that are intelligent enough to understand the comparison.
