Let’s Have a Real Apartheid Education Week

As the only free democracy in the Middle East, I'm proud to see Israel and the Jewish people fighting the mass apartheid present in the Arab world.

Although Israel is better than its neighbours, it is hardly a free democracy. And as for the American Thinker, it's a far right blog. No real credibility attached.

And I suppose because it's a blog which supports the Republican Party of America, that annuls the logic contained therein. BD's link was from someone who supports the Democratic Party of America and President Obama, but it's also annuled because he's pro-Israel. In fact, anything which isn't left wing doesn't count. Sometimes I feel your comments are all satire and I should be laughing more.

Your arguments regarding Israeli democracy go unsubstantiated yet again. Quelle surprise.

It isn't a free democracy, Akiva, because it discriminates against the growing non-Jewish minority. It also discriminates against forms of Judaism which are not in the clutches of the Orthodox (no civil marriages, no state funding for non-Orthodox movements or synagogues, Progressive Jews sidelined to a distant corner away from the Western Wall, women liable to be arrested if they pray as they wish at the Western Wall). It also denies basic rights to those whom it occupies. So no, it isn't a free democracy.

But haven't you heard, Moshe - Progressive Jews aren't real Jews at all because they don't stick to millennia-old rules? They ought to be thankful they're allowed anywhere near the Kotel!

I am so very thankful, JLC,

No need to be, don't mention it - but I'll have a Guinness if you're buying. ;-)

Noone said Liberal Jews aren't real Jews. Like I said, Liberal Jews are like a car without an engine, it's still a car and they are still Jews.

Liberal Judaism isn't a real Judaism though.

Akiva, who made you an arbiter of what constitute real or false Judaism?

Employing a moshetzarfati2 tactic, let's turn that around and ask:

"On what basis do you define what you do as a Judaism"?

I can call myself a follower of Hinduism, but I don't believe the basic tennants of the Hindu religion. I don't practice any Hindu practices. I don't accept the Hindu traditions that have existed for centuries. There is nothing about the way I live to suggest I am part of the Hindu faith.

So while you can feel free to call yourself whatever you want, you should know that the only person you are deluding is yourself.

Shabbat Shalom :)

Shabbat shalom :-)

Akiva, someone coming from about 200 years ago would look at you and say that what you are following isn't Judaism.
I'm not deluding myself at all. I'm moving with the times. Like Judaism.

gut shabbes, y'all
