Murder in Israel

Over the weekend, a hate crime occurred in Israel in which 2 homosexual kids were killed and 13 other homosexuals were wounded. While the background of the killer isn't being known, with all the rioting violence from a certain community in Israel, one can take a guess.

Homosexuality is wrong. So is murder. People who are emotionally confused and not bothering anyone need help to realize the error of this kind of lifestyle in a manner that is professional.

Violence is wrong and counterproductive.

Oh, man. That sucks. I'm so sorry to hear that. :(

As you mention the motive and identity of the killer is still unknown, however the only Jews really anti-gay (like me) are ultra-Orthodox and I have never heard of an ultra-Orthodox person shooting someone.

My guess (and just a guess) is that this was a professional hit, perhaps drug related.

And speaking of murder in Israel, here's a proven case of a secular Jew shooting an ultra-Orthodox.

There's so much violence coming from the religious community in Israel it's ridiculous.

jewish philosopher said...

It looks like the secular community hasn't been doing too badly either.

The secular community isn't trying to impose its way of life on others.

Who told you that?

They were also subjected to a deliberate process of secularization in order to fit them for modern Israeli society, and few if any succeeded in preserving their traditional Yemenite way of living. Many children unaccountably "disappeared" or were said to have died, and were later discovered to have been sold for adoption.

That don't justify trying to turn Israel into a theocracy.

jewish philosopher said...

Isn't it advertised as the JEWISH state. As in Judaism? That's a religion.

SJ said...

Jews are a people before we were a religion.

jewish philosopher said...

It's a religion. There is no Jewish race, language or culture.

SJ said...

>> It's a religion. There is no Jewish race, language or culture.

This is completely ahistorical.

jewish philosopher said...

How?

SJ said...

You know the answer to that question.
