Response on a Discussion Board

Really so simple? Show me the term Israeli in literature before the Partition vote. According to the Jewish Virtual Library (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Society_&_Culture/symph.html) the Jewish national orchestra founded in 1936 was called the Palestine Symphony. They changed the name to Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1948. Is there an Israeli language any more than there is a Palestinian language? Why is an Israeli allowed to call Jewish history his own but a Palestinian is not allowed to call Arab history his own? Arguably, the local Arabs have a greater claim to being Palestinian than the Jews do to being called Israeli since there were far more Arabs in the land - 500,000 in 1880 with only 5,000 Jews.  (Source: Benny Morris) The answer to these questions is that you are a racist.

The hostility and condescension in your response is interesting. It reflects an arrogance and an abusiveness that likely attracts you to current Israeli policy. Also worth noting is your pseudo-intellectualism. You try to come off like some kind of fact laden thinker but mostly you are a blowhard who pontificates cliches and myths that any rational mind would question. Do you ever wonder why it would be that your group is perfectly wonderful and your other side is perfectly horrible? Do you ever wonder whether that just tells us that you are an egomaniac? I have a few uncles who are just like you.

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

Apikorsis in Eretz Yisroel

But today, we live in an atmosphere of  kefirah  [denial]. The whole world is  kefirah  today. And today, to get  emunah   peshutah  it is not easy at all. If a person says "I have  emunah   peshutah ," it means he is just dodging his responsibility, when you have to work to get  emunah , he's looking for a  teretz  [excuse] to get out of it, that's all.  Emunah   peshutah  today is very, very rare. If you're born into a very  frum  family, you get a certain degree. But even then, from the street it comes into the house, we don't realize. Once you come into America, or you come into England or Holland, or into Eretz Yisroel today, you should know, you're soaking in  apikorsus . Even the  fruma , under the skin, they have no  emunah  at all, a very thin veneer. You have to work hard, you must labor to get  emunah  today. It's very important to listen to these lessons, and ma...
