"Now the difference with Israel is that any Jew anywhere can “return” to Israel even if they are not from there and their families have never lived there and even if they were never ethnically or racially Jewish, but simply converted to Judaism."

That ain't right.

Right or wrong, it's definitely a recipe for abuse.

Your statement identifying the root cause of the recent release of an accused Israeli pedophile to be our own problematic bail system was right on target. It also dovetails with the very recent executive action denying federal funds to any state attempting to fix that problem. You can debate the relative merits of the cashless bail system but certainly each state has the right to seek their own path (within the constraints of constitutionality).

Israel is vile and shouldn't exist.

I can understand the sentiment at this point. I'll be a bit more nuanced, though. I understand the motivation for creating Israel, but what it has become we should not be abetting in any way. It has become vile, as you say. I think that there is a lesson in there about giving a group of people unlimited immunity from consequences based on past injustices. It turns them into the thing that once they ran from.

I don’t know why you’re on this anti-semitism crusade, Gajewski. Israel, Zionists, and Jews are doing the world a big favor by eliminating the filthy Christians and Palestinians of Gaza. By shooting, bombing and starving them, they are freeing that land to be properly populated by Chosen People. An added benefit is that by leveling the buildings, new construction can begin immediately and establish much more socially acceptable casinos for the hard-pressed global elite and Jewish diaspora. This is the best use of Gaza and that hundreds of thousands of children need to die or have their limbs blown off is a small cost. They undoubtedly would grow up to be resentful adults and who needs that? No, the Jewish community is both honorable and noble for conducting this much needed Holocaust of Gaza and making Gaza safe after ensuring of Christian or Palestinian there is dead or can’t walk. Bravo Israel! Bravo!

PS - to the 2 US politicians (Massie, MGT) - get onboard and dump the Christian allegiance; it’s a bad look for a U.S. politician. Sign up for AIPAC, everyone else did.

My bad. I thought it was sarcasm but I wasn’t sure. I’m just a lowly Rooster with two goals in life. One is to protect the flock…

No, he's not, but it's sad that you really can't tell.

I was being sarcastic.

I knew the overall host of the story but not the part about the judge. Unfortunately I’m about a half step away from Scuba Cat. That pains me immensely as I have lots of good memories from diving there for many years.
