Re: The West has no credibility.
Dronestar you have made up your mind that the West has no credibility, is responsible for the terrorism being visited upon them and is willfully bombing doctors and hospitals. I agree it is a horrible situation but then again so is decades of war. I can not defend nor want to defend the indefensible. I simply do not agree or believe it is the ideology and wishes of the West to kill innocent civilians and I do not agree that ISIL should be doing so either. You are a convincing debater and obviously passionate about the subject. Maybe you should run for office somewhere and affect the change you want to see in the world. Take care dronestar.

"Europe is Lost" says Barcelona's Chief Rabbi
Story HERE
Barcelona's chief rabbi has urged Jews to move to Israel because Europe has been "lost" to radical Islam, and Spain has been a "hub of Islamist terror for all of Europe" for years.
"I tell my congregants, 'Don't think we're here for good,' and I encourage them to buy property in Israel," Chief Rabbi Meir Bar-Hen told the Jewish news agency JTA in an interview Friday.
"This place is lost," he said. "Don't repeat the mistake of Algerian Jews, of Venezuelan Jews.
"Better [get out] early than late," Bar-Hen warned. "Europe is lost."
Fourteen people died and as many as 130 were injured when a white van plowed into a popular Barcelona tourist area Thursday evening.

This was a terrorist attack on the whole of Western society - Jews weren't targeted. If religions didn't believe themselves to be so unique, special and chosen, we wouldn't have these sorts of problem.

Re: "Europe is Lost" says Barcelona's Chief Rabbi
Jews may not have been particularly targeted in the Barcelona event but they are targeted by Islam's doctrines and have definitely also been targeted in some attacks, such as against synagogues but also attacks on individuals, particularly in France. Any attacks in the name of Islam, however, are rightly understood by the Jews to hold a potential threat to themselves.

HAHAHAHAHA! Jewish comedians are the best, even when they are being this dark. Move to Israel to avoid Islamic terrorism! Nice one!

Yeh, Jews are special. Just like Muslims and Christians. And....
You're all the chosen ones it's just that some are more chosen than others.
70 years since the division of India and the founding of Pakistan - Hindus murdering Muslims and vice versa on a grand scales. 'When will they ever learn?'

Re: "Europe is Lost" says Barcelona's Chief Rabbi
The Jews are specifically targeted in the Koran, and have been the victims of Muslim attacks in France.
Yes Hindus and Muslims attack each other in Pakistan and India. In India lately there have been a lot of attacks by Hindus on Christians, according to an Indian pastor I hear from. He is wondering if he can find a seminary in the US to enroll in for a year or two as a way to escape their attacks and protect his family by bringing them here.
However, again, Islam does specifically target Jews in the Koran.

Look in my signature, how many attacks have been against Jews? On your own territory, how many?

So religion is a great thing isn't it?

Re: "Europe is Lost" says Barcelona's Chief Rabbi
Your signature refers to the big headline stories, not the everyday neighborhood attacks on Jews.
As for "religion" being some kind of special problem, I'd point out that the Jews and Christians are the victims in these current cases, so not ALL religion is the problem. And besides do I need to point out all the nonreligious murdering ideologies?

And the post I was replying to - which you posted - was one of them.

Cobblers - the terrorists were not discriminating in Barcelona, they ran down anyone in their path, young old, all religions and none.
And as Mod pointed out, the idea that Jews could avoid being attacked by Muslims by emigrating to Israel is hilarious.
