		<description>&quot;You can have Seattle, the Jewish Maccabees don’t want you in Jerusalem.&quot;

The Rabbanim of old loathed the Maccabees. The modern worship of them would have given them heart attacks. You lose.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You don’t want to Jews to settle Eretz Yisrael&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I don&#039;t consider the Occupied Territories part of the State of Israel. But I do want Jews &amp; Palestinian Israelis to settle within the borders of the State of Israel.

&lt;blockquote&gt;opposition to Jewish religion and purpose&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You mean opposition to settler Judaism don&#039;t you?  I plead guilty.  But I am a member of a Conservative shul and have a degree fr. a Conservative Rabbinic seminary.  But as far as this am ha&#039;aretz is concerned I&#039;m as good as an apikoros (heretic).

&lt;blockquote&gt;you don’t want children taught Torah values&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Actually, my children attend Hebrew school where they aren&#039;t taught settler Judaism, but rather normative Judaism.  And they&#039;re taught by their teachers who decide on the curriculum together w. the educational director--&amp; not by a government hack or settler rabbi.

You also seem to forget that Israel is not (yet) a theocracy like Iran.  It&#039;s actually a secular state believe it or not.  I understand though that you&#039;d prefer to overthrow this state &amp; replace it w. a Torah true state perhaps led by an ancestor of King David with a Third Temple.  What a nice thought for you.  It must make you all warm &amp; fuzzy inside.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Please Goldstein&lt;/blockquote&gt;
What a silly infantile jerk you are &amp; banned too I might add.

&lt;blockquote&gt;in your atheist universe.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Wrong on that too.  Are you ever right about anything?  I think you&#039;re even less right than a broken clock, which is right at least twice a day.

&lt;blockquote&gt;No gefilte fish for Jews from Iraq&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Spoken like the idiot Ashkenazi you are.  Do you know a single thing about Jews from Iraq??

&lt;blockquote&gt;the Jewish Maccabees don’t want you in Jerusalem.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
LIke I said, this am ha&#039;aretz doesn&#039;t realize that Jewish history points out that the Maccabees after their brilliant initial victory over the Syrians ruled for a mere 150 yrs or so &amp; then collapsed in nepostism and corruption just like this guy&#039;s Judean settler kingdom will if we are so unfortunate as to ever see it come into existence.</description>

		<description>Well if you think Jews settling the Land Of Israel and expelling the inhabitants of the Land is wrong, then you think Judaism is wrong. And that&#039;s perfectly reasonable, but what isn&#039;t is expecting the heirs of Auschwitz and Sinai to care even the slightest about what the Goyim think. I don&#039;t hate any gentile for disliking Judaism, that&#039;s silly. And I don&#039;t hate you, you don&#039;t try (as far as I can tell) to annihilate the Jewish people. But Mr. Bronzestein does, and that has really quite severe consequences.... I wouldn&#039;t be so arrogant to say that Choseness is unconditional, some merit of DNA. As we are held aloft, we are judged harshly for our iniquities. In fact only 70 years ago, our ranks were laid to waste by the Germans, for we failed to inherit the Land...</description>

		<description>Celebrate Hanukkah Richie? Ever thought real hard about the Maccabees killing the traitorous Hellenists? See any parallels? Or maybe it&#039;s hard to think about? Makes Yigal Amir look a little different doesn&#039;t it? Instead of bowing to the Goyim, he gave all for the One G-d of Israel. If that isn&#039;t the pinnacle of Jewishness, what is? Remember, anyone can be a tyrannical socialist, it&#039;s a little harder to be a Jew. G-d didn&#039;t tell the Israelites to kindly ask the Canaanites for peace, to forgive Amalek, he told us to WIN.</description>

		<description>You are raving, sir.  I have no intentions of getting into theological debate with you, especially when you seem to think I have something against Judaism, your opinion coming straight from your imagination and not from anything I have said either here or anywhere else.  You have the right to believe whatever you wish, but you do not have the right to insult me or accuse me of having beliefs I do not possess.  Your remarks are way out of line.</description>

		<description>And more, what have I gotten wrong about you? Oh yeah Gold vs Silver, MY BAD. But seriously, are you NOT an Atheist who thinks the Torah is evil incarnate? Are you NOT a socialist who thinks children should be taught YOUR values against their parents&#039; wills so the uber-permissive one world government can come into power? And before you blithely dismiss everything I relate as &quot;evil nationalism&quot;, think about your own response. You are obviously hostile to religion (demonstrate you aren&#039;t please), hostile to nationalism (or at least Jewish nationalism), hostile to others dictating how they live (those Ayatollahs!). Unlike you, I actually believe in some of the classic liberal values. I would never come crusading to Seattle trying to dictate how you live, but wicked enemies of G-d like yourselves just CAN&#039;T HELP trying to subjugate other peoples and enslaving them under the yoke of your progressivism. You can live in your own village, but  our villages in Eretz Yisroel are beyond you. We&#039;ve accepted Arab hatred, who can blame them? I&#039;ll drop in on the next International Socialist Progressive Workers&#039; Party meeting, and you can rebut....</description>

		<description>Ah you must think I&#039;m some neo-consevative who thinks the West&gt;Islam for some reason. I don&#039;t care about either, I care solely about G-d and His Commandments. Good Muslims are great, they just have to be shown that their empire (that&#039;s what it is be honest) DOESN&#039;T extend over the Temple Mount. All signs of foreign conquest must go. I&#039;m not for censorship either, I&#039;m for Jewish purity. Goyim can read all the gay poetry they want, it has no place in Eretz Yisrael. Why is tolerance of evil good? I&#039;m a Jew, not a Christian. Nowhere does the Torah say &quot;turn the other cheek&quot;, but it clearly states that judgment for sin is NIGH and it is absolute.</description>

		<description>For relating Torah? Yeah you&#039;re right, I should be banned. G-d&#039;s word has no place in the world you progressives are going to build right? Too bad you&#039;ve never managed to actually build anything though... I guess the Torah is better than your myriad blasphemies.</description>
