“God’s chosen people” Disgraceful

Doesn't the phrase "God's chosen people" refer to Jews?

Surely your post is not about Jewish people.

the people in the Israeli government who are authorizing and doing the killing are not Jews? Having many Jewish family members, I know that not every Jew feels they are "chosen."

I have nothing against Jews who don't authorize murder at all. I just disagree with the "chosen people" name they chose for themselves.

It does not mean "special." I'll look for a link for you. As a Jewish woman I take offense at your post:

Chosenness is not about merit; it is about responsibility. Jews live with the ever-present and inescapable discomfort caused by the conscience of a people expected by God – or by whatever inner force drives them – to be at the creative and moral vanguard of humankind.

Some have even called chosenness an affliction, for it has invited mockery of Jews in every age. The Romans derided Jesus by forcing him to wear a crown of thorns. Nineteen centuries later, the Nazis ridiculed Jewish claims to chosenness by taking fiendish delight in treating Jews as less than human.

I hope these helped you to understand a bit of what "chosen" means in this instance.

To you. You’re not killing innocents

that I'm evil because I'm part of the chosen people? Do you think the majority of the Jewish people are killing innocents - are Jews programmed that way?

You may want to direct at your ire at Netanyahu and the right wing in Israel instead of Jewish people. The IDF is comprised of people of all opinions and even Muslims and Christians.

What you are doing is equivalent to someone saying the you are an American and therefore you support Trump and the idiotic and his dangerous and idiotic administration.

It's called stereotyping ....

evil. I just wonder how those who murder innocents get to believe they are chosen by God for ANY reason. Do you honestly think those who authorize the murder of innocent Palestinians have that right? I don’t think my Jewish family members are evil either. They don’t want Nuttyahoo in charge and don’t believe God chose him bye. Namaste

Added. I’m an American but I don’t call myself a Magat. Apples and oranges.

Jewish people don't consider themselves to be murderers.

Do you have the same disdain for Palestinians who believe that all Jews should be annihilated, or is their cause a just one in your eyes. All that had to happen since the inception of this great tragedy was for Hamas to return the hostages and admit defeat. Why don't you blame them as being the initial cause of all the horror we see now.

Having Jewish relatives does NOT make your argument legitimate.
Damn, it's like a racist saying that they have some black friends - sheesh!

Look in the mirror claudette ,,,,,

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will install two poles flying 100 foot Israeli flags on either side of Beit Aghion.

nt

Really objectionable stuff.

how dare he?

go to the Pope's funeral, Israel doesn't want peace. Nuttyahool wants all Palestinians out of Gaza so he can rename it Israel.

He might be right about that.

In view of Netanyahu refusing to go to the Vatican for
Pope services…..

This makes more sense……

Top war-crimes court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and others in Israel-Hamas fighting

Nov 21, 2024

THE HAGUE (AP) — The world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza.

The warrants said there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and have intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials deny.
