Is Israel a Jewish state?
Is the pope Catholic?
Nothing about Israel could be more self-evident than its Jewishness. As Poland is the national state of the Polish people and Japan is the national state of the Japanese people, so Israel is the national state of the Jewish people. The UN's 1947 resolution on partitioning Palestine contains no fewer than 30 references to the "Jewish state" whose creation it was authorizing; 25 years earlier, the League of Nations had been similarly straightforward in mandating "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." When Israel came into existence on May 15, 1948, its Jewish identity was the first detail reported. The New York Times's front-page story began: "The Jewish state, the world's newest sovereignty, to be known as the State of Israel, came into being in Palestine at midnight upon termination of the British mandate."
Today, half the planet's Jews live in that state, many of them refugees from anti-Semitic repression and violence elsewhere. In a world with more than 20 Arab states and 55 Muslim countries, the existence of a single small Jewish state should be unobjectionable. "Israel is a sovereign state, and the historic homeland of the Jewish people," President Barack Obama told the UN General Assembly last month. By now that should be a truism, no more controversial than calling Italy the sovereign homeland of the Italian people.
And yet to Israel's enemies, Jewish sovereignty is as intolerable today as it was in 1948, when five Arab armies invaded the newborn Jewish state, vowing "a war of extermination and a momentous massacre." Endless rounds of talks and countless invocations of the "peace process" have not changed the underlying reality of the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is not about settlements or borders or Jerusalem or the rights of Palestinians.
The root of the hostility is the refusal to recognize the immutable right of the Jewish people to a sovereign state in its historic homeland. Until that changes, no lasting peace is possible.
That is why the Israeli government is correct to insist that the Palestinian Authority publicly recognize Israel as the Jewish state. It is the critical litmus test. "Palestinian nationalism was based on driving all Israelis out," Edward Said told an interviewer in 1999, and the best evidence that most Palestinians are still intent on eliminating Israel is the vehemence with which even supposed "moderates" like Mahmoud Abbas will not — or dare not — acknowledge Israel's Jewishness as a legitimate fact of life. "What is a 'Jewish state?'" Abbas ranted on Palestinian TV. "You can call yourselves whatever you want, but I will not accept it . . . You can call yourselves the Zionist Republic, the Hebrew, the National, the Socialist [Republic]. Call it whatever you like. I don’t care."

The United States of America attempts to be an open society accepting all races of people equally.
Israel does not.
Israel is the single most racist Nation on the planet.
Most people who call themselves Jews today are descendents of the Kazhaar Empire in EurAsia. They are Turk-Fins who took the Jewish religion for their soldiers in order to give them stability and morality.
These are the Jews who founded Bolshevism in Russia and then led to Germany's great economic boom in the early 20th century. The Bauer Family (later Rothschild Family) became Europe's great banking Dynasty and still holds tremendous power and wealth today.
It was the Rothschild Family who demanded the Balfour Declaration at the end of WWI in order to bring the U.S. into the war. Otherwise it is believed the Germans had Great Britian defeated. With the entry of the U.S. into that war by Jewish controlled President Woodrow Wilson, the rich Jewish business men of Germany hoped to get their homeland in Palestine.
As we all know, the U.S. and Britian renigged on their promise of the Balfour Declaration and so WWII became necessary. To this day the Israel flag displays a blue version of the Rothschild Family seal (Rothschild = red sign) as the Nation owes its origin to the Rothschild Family money and power.
Most Western Christians identify with the Nation of Israel and the promise of a World Government in which the Jewish bloodlines will rule over all the nations of the earth. This Zionist Political Agenda is credited with the present day support of mainline Christian ideology. The United States today is governed by this same religious belief that Israel holds a special place in the order of the world and many people hope Israel will be triumphant in their goals to minimize the existence of Islam and the goya (inferior races) in general. We Americans hold Israel to be a higher order of humanity and have promised to give our lives and fortune for the protection of Israel and the hope for its success.
Most of us realize the Kazhaar bloodlines are in fact specially gifted intellectually and thus their descendents are destined to rule the world. It is the main reason Americans are willing to serve in the military to help protect the bloodline from assault by the Muslim people. It is the reason we "pray for the troops".
God bless Israel and America for being its protector.
Some of the most influential and prominent scientists and thinkers of all time are Jewish: Einstein, Oppenheimer, Marx, Stalin, Rockefeller, Soros, The Royal Family, etc.
Many U.S. Presidents (especially in recent times) are related to these great Jewish Contributors and families like Bill Clinton, Dick Chenney, Ford, and Carter.
Israel is our greatest hope for humanity.
What a potpourri of half-baked drivel.
11:24,even the old testament speaks of the people that were already in what was to be the "Jewish Homeland" who the Jews forced out through conquest.
Let the Jews and Arabs have it out for their little strip of beachfront on the Mediterranean for once and for all.
