| A Jew is a Jew is a Jew |

| [JPost] ...One has to be willfully obtuse to not see the steady unfolding of ominous events, ranging from random attempted lynchings in the streets of Blue cities (not strongholds of white supremacy), to cynically manipulated pronouncements in prominent media, to unhinged rants by celebrities and muscle flexing progressive Democrats in Congress. Some in England see residual "Corbynism" resurfacing, while in Western Europe, the pretext of supporting Hamas has meant that any and all Jews are fair game. There are many attempts at trying to explain why it’s all so intense, and why now. Some see this as part of a sustained reaction against all things Trump; to others, the Biden administration’s cozying up to Iran has been read as a license to lash out at all things Israeli. Ultimately, any and all conceivable explanations fail to capture the maniacal quality of the hatred being unleashed. ...Antisemitism oppresses Jews, but it is ultimately a threat to the overall society since antisemitism never ends with the Jews. Antisemitism is the unmistakable sign that a society is in trouble. |

| #16 I just love how Herb tried to spin the bs practices of "Israeli Muslim"s as being Jewish. HAHAHA! |

| #15 Why Herb McCoy, how very interesting to see you pop up again, this time without the long lead in where you pretend to be a conservative Rantburger of long standing before you launch into your Jew-hate spiel. Israeli religious marriage law for Jews is based on 2500 years of rabbinic rulings referring to the Old Testament, looooong predating the Ottoman empire (14th-19th century) and its millet system. There are also, as g(r)omgoru points out, civil marriages, and Israel recognizes marriages contracted outside the country, either which of allows for mixed marriages. America also allows both religious and civil marriages; Communist China only recognizes civil marriages. You really are a nasty little pseudo-intellectual, not nearly as intelligent as you fancy yourself. But no doubt you are a genius compared to those at the usual sites where you get the information you parade here from time to time. |

| #14 And... how many Jews (or Christians) are allowed in Mecca? (hint: Only Moslems are allowed in the Mecca region). |

| #13 As to the Jewish Quarter, try to buy, sell or renovate any property in or near a historical landmark and you run into a absolute sh*tstorm of bureaucratic red tape. So, no, not buying that without more info. |

| #12 #10 Yupp, sidestepped it all like a pile of shit. As for the jewish quarter... it's a duhh, jewish quarter? When any community gets a bug up their ass to agitate until they're granted what they desire against the majority will, I believe it's the job of the State to draw lines for them [there, I'm a fascist too]. I wouldn't allow a single muslim to live in any chicken coop I was responsible for anyway. And christians, the true ones don't go about carrying their papist agendas with them, they click a pic, say a prayer and buzz off. Israel is a jewish nation; they have sovereignty and the majority to decide how they wish to run it. This conversation is terminated. |

| #11 ^Look a$$hole, you may think you're original - but I've heard all your clever "anti-Zionist" arguments a hundred times. Look bandarlog, your kind been trying to solve the "Jewish Problem" for 3000 year - and we are still around. And nowadays, we have an equalizer. So, find another - safer - hobby. |

| #10 I notice how you completely dodged the alt-right Pro-apartheid, Pro-Jim Crow comment and went on to another one. Israel is the only western society to deny construction permits to people on the grounds of race. Until 1992, so did South Africa. Israeli law also restricts where non-Jews may live. "Muslims and Christians are barred from buying in the Jewish quarter of the old city on the grounds of "historic patterns of life of each community having its own quarter'," says Seidemann, in a phrase eerily reminiscent of apartheid's philosophy. |

| #9 For example, Israeli Islamic law courts Islamic law is an accommodation unfortunately allowed to mohammedans in almost every liberal country. How that makes Israel an apartheid practicing state is beyond me. |

| #8 #5 State of Israel recognizes civil marriages. Getting one through rabbinate is a matter of choice. |

| #7 #4 Things work out without such laws - after all, you don't need laws forbidding people to walk on their hands, Dron. |

| #6 The day is not far when people shall realize that apartheid, anti-miscegenation and the Jim Crow south was a much better bet than self-righteously legislating a chance at revenge for inherently recidivist irredeemables. Who knew alt-right thought was taken so seriously on this website? This sort of thing is deleted everywhere else, and rightly so. Pro-apartheid Pro-Jim Crow Wow. |

| #5 Israeli matrimonial law is based on the Millet system employed in the Ottoman Empire. According to this confessional community system, issues of personal status such as marriage and divorce are governed by the religious law of the parties concerned. For example, Israeli Islamic law courts have exclusive jurisdiction in matters of personal status concerning Israeli Muslim citizens. Therefore, Israeli citizens can only marry spouses of the same religion and only by their own recognised religious authority. That is to say, interfaith and non-religious marriages are not allowed in Israel. That's an anti-miscegenation law. I'd like to be proved wrong. If it's not, then why is there such a thriving wedding market in Cyprus offering packages specially tailored for couples with an Israeli member? |

| #4 ^ While they most certainly don't, it would be good to know conservative communities practice some unwritten convention of keeping their gene pool clean. The day is not far when people shall realize that apartheid, anti-miscegenation and the Jim Crow south was a much better bet than self-righteously legislating a chance at revenge for inherently recidivist irredeemables. |

| #3 I found out the other day that they actually have anti-miscegenation laws. Where did you find it - in your a$$hole? |

| #2 It's finally becoming obvious to pretty much everyone that Israel practices apartheid. I found out the other day that they actually have anti-miscegenation laws. For real. It's like something out of the 1840s South. |

| #1 Some speech is freer than other speech. And remember, the SCROTUS has defined a variety of things (flag burning, nude dancing, panhandling) that don't have "words coming out of your mouth" as a primary or necessary component as "speech." |
