No matter the religion, no matter how off the wall their beliefs there will always be an extreme right wing version who are willing to kill or die to prove their faith in the words written in a book by a slightly or completely crazy dead person who believed the voices in his head were telling them they were the most important person ever to tread the earth.

Sadly true

@LenHazell53 When was the state or country Israel persecuted?

@FrayedBear You are fucking kidding right?

@LenHazell53 I don’t think he is… There’s thick…and then there is the wilfully dense!!

@LenHazell53 seriously who & when was israel persecuted? They have abused their neighbours since inception of the country. They have committed countless crimes against Palestinians that are still occurring today that have not been prosecuted as far as I'm aware for any off them. They have been given so called positive discrimination for the horiffic persecution that their race suffered at the hands of the fascist nazis & their allies. The country of Israel has not been persecuted & as Marge states is a persecutor undertaking gross breaches of humanitarian law every bit as horrific as those the race previously suffered.

@LenHazell53, @Marionville When did the State of Israel become a race & when were they persecuted?

Who is joking & who is thick or wilfully dense vs who is seeking knowledge & clarification of seemingly incorrect statement or lack of knowledge?

@FrayedBear
"the State of Israel" and "Israel" are not the same thing, if you had said "the State of Israel" it would have been clear what your meaning is, I am no fan of the modern state of Israel and the behaviour of their nationalist leaders, but to say Israel has never been persecuted is fucking obscene
The Polish Pogroms, the British Jew burning towers, the holocaust, the Russian pogroms, the ghettos and that is just in the last few centuries, without even get in to the Babylonia , Philistine, Antiochian and other attempted extirpations by the various inquisitions.
Come on man you are better than this.

@LenHazell53 thank for correcting my ignorance Len. I will correct my initial comment.

@LenHazell53according to the Australian Collins Concise dictionary 5th ed. :

@LenHazell53 I was in no mood to get into another word tussle with FB. I’m sure he knew full well what I was alluding to when I wrote the above lines. My life is happier when I don’t engage with him…so I chose to ignore his remarks. I’ve been doing that since he started posting RT links and spouting Putin propaganda. Last night I had a long exhausting exchange with another antipodean member who is of a similar mindset to him, and couldn’t face bandying words again this morning. He seems to have taken your rebuttal much better than he’d have done to anything I may have have added…so thanks.

They keep pushing others agenda toward them from over 70+ years and hope we ignore their agenda of today. To me this says they have not learned an important lesson. BTW, many cultural Jews agree with this.
