The Jewmanist

I know I criticize Israel from time to time. To be clear, I do not consider myself anti-Israel necessarily; I just do not believe any nation or ideal is above criticism. They are not perfect, just as any nation is not perfect. Yet, I can’t help but wonder what exactly anti-Israel is. Do I believe they should be entitled to a Jewish land? No. I honestly don’t believe any country should be ruled by religious law. I also don’t think there should be a Muslim or Christian country (not there is a Christian country). The Jews were originally “given” Israel because no one wanted them after World War II. The mere fact that a group of people are not liked or wanted around for no good reason is plainly screwed up. It saddens me to no end. All persecution does. It’s unfair and unnecessary.

If we’re all God’s children. What’s so special about Jesus?

Never mind the punctuation error. It’s still funny.

I’m not whole-heartedly surprised in this one but, nonetheless, its still offensive and unfair.
