You’re correct, confused Herod with Darius. Going off of memory here, cut me slack.What the hell does king herod have to do with anything? Hahaha what a completely laughable point. Didn’t he let many return to Jerusalem? Are you suggesting that Jews would be happier in Iran? What on earth is your point.Jewish Senators;
and yet the Evangelicals are the main supporters of Israel and the Jews.
Seems funny to me. Not ha ha funny, but hypocritical funny.
What about that is hypocritical? Can you only be Jewish to support Israel? Can you only be Muslim to support Palestine?
Almost all of the Jewish dem legislators support Israel, but many on the left do not...so does that make the left hypocritical?
If you take the religion completely out of this equation, what you have is a country, along with a bunch of neighboring countries, tried to wipe another country off the map (and almost succeeded. But that country fought them back and took the other country because its highly strategic to do so, and not have a country intent on your destruction in proximity to a crucial boarder of your country out of your control. Don’t forget they could have easily taken control of more land (they pushed back all the way to Cairo), but stopped and let the boot off the neck easily.
If you add religion back into the equation, what you see is a Jewish country, that took a UN deal for their own sovereignty, then has been in a state of constant defensive war pretty much since its inception...when has Israel not acted defensively? It’s also the only democratic country in the Middle East, to the point where they have people in parliament who wish for the very destruction of that country. It’s a Jewish country that has banned Jews from their most holy site in order to placate to the Muslims that want to wipe them off the map. It’s the only tolerant country in the Middle East for gays and lesbians.
To paint them as the bad guys in this situation is utterly ridiculous. Disagreeing with how they handle things is one thing. But just painting them as the bad guys, the instigators, etc, is so naive, and an incredibly simplistic (and wrong) view of a complicated situation.
What I see is for years it was mainly a Arab nation of Muslims, a few Christians and some Jews. The jews were sent there to maintain the Suez Canal, and then they kicked the British out, King David Hotel.
Only 45000 Jews returned from Babylon, most loved it in Babylon. Ever hear of the
Herodian Dynasty
Do you see Herods Temple there yet??? No.
Saudi Arabia and Israel hate Iran that is why they are terrorists , as well as Hamas and Hezbollah, A jew is the father of Shia Islam. Also Israel didn't mind giving weapons to Iran in the 1980's during the Iran Contra.
Iran funds terrorist organizations. That is why they are terrorists. .Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations. Always have been and always will be.
And oil.
You just happen to support terrorists. Period.
So we are told, what about Saudi Arabia?
Let’s put everything here into context. Babylon took over Israel, and moved Israelites all around the empire, and treated them like shit for generations up until Herod. Who was nicer to them and let many return to Jerusalem, and the Jews even hailed him as a savior for them after suffering under the previous harsher dynasty’s...So you’re comparing Jews from 3,000 years ago, where generation after generation grew up in Babylon under harsh rule, finally get a decent king who treats them well and decide to stay, rather than make a dangerous trek through strange lands to a place they have never been before; to Jews who moved to Israel after their neighbors were turning them in by the millions to the nazis, who systematically slaughtered them by the millions. At this time, when they tried to escape to a different country, country after country denied them access (including FDR and the US)...so these Jews said fuck it, we’re going back to the promise land because we won’t survive another one of these holocausts. After they established their country, and accepted the UN deal, their neighboring countries have unsuccessfully tried to wipe them off the map on numerous occasions.
So some Jews...not all...3,000 or so years ago stayed in Babylon. And this is comparable to the situation we see after WWII?
Persia changed their name to Iran (which translates to Aryan in honor of Hitler and what he was doing). I don’t think that’s a place where modern day Jews will get the same treatment they did under Herod.
Sak King Herod was not Iranian-----he was an edomite---
roman shill appointed king of Judea by the Romans.
Sak you are probably too young to remember ----when things were fairly good for jews in Iran-----Ie----like before
1970
Though it still doesn’t go against my point of WTF is Penelope talking about when it comes to Jews 3000 years ago.
3000 years ago------little david was THROWING Rocks----when he was not playing on his harp
