"it is also reliable to have a single blond hair jumping out of your black beard as a sign of your not pure Jewish blood"

Are you Jewish? I'm pretty sure Judaism isn't a breed of dog, "pure blood" doesn't matter.

Really funny abge.
I don't know what happened, she started to complain about this and this and i just didn't want to argue so i went to a walk and when i came back the door was closed and she refused to open.
I still don't know what went wrong,who listens to their stupidity anyway?
I wil have a new one by next week.(i think).

Yes judaism is not a religion is a blood relation, very simple: if your mother is Jewish you are too.

Ok,now seriously the gheto varsaw rebellion was a very important event in history, it was the first time jews fought against the Nazi and they managed to kill many of the lasting more than a month with mostly hand made weapons,it was a significant moment for the jews in gethos and concentration camps who felt inspired by this heroi

Wrong again, blow_jocks48, slurp slurp.....

Surprised she didn't kick you out long ago...

Felt inspired by this heroic event and started to fight back.

+1 if YOU want to kick tacos out.

I'm inspired by my hot wife in a sexy outfit. You should try that sometime...oh....sorry...

You shouldn't make fun of Jews, my grandfather died in a concentration camp, taos.

Krellin did you just invite Taos to "try" your sexy wife? Didn't realise you were a swinger...

@kremlin yes she inspires me too.
@2wl i wasn't, i am really Jewish and i am serios about it.
Today is the day,just wanted to play a game in memory of the fallen.

Good, because my family was really broken up when he fell out of that guard tower.

2WL + infinitum

Welcome to the Brotherhood.

That was funny.
So maybe you and i are related, your granpa may be one of the listed above.

"I still don't know what went wrong,who listens to their stupidity anyway?

I think I'm closing in on the cause here...

Next week? You know, sex toys dot com overnights, right?

"I'm pretty sure Judaism isn't a breed of dog, "pure blood" doesn't matter."

Some in Israel apparently disagree with you, bo:

Now really guys lets play a gunboat

That's not the solution to your problem. Just talk about how you feel now your girlfriend left. Come on, trash talk her! Reveal all her dirty little secrets... That'll teach that bitch!

@Tolstoy ... I know some in Israel disagree, but they are a minority among the Israelis I know on a personal level, which should count to somewhere between 20 and 30.

And, on that note, the current Israeli government is full of lunatics. I'm quite aware. The Palestinian governments and representatives thereof are also full of lunatics, as is the government we know well in the United States. Pick your poison.

I don't think non-observant jews should be counted as jews.

^ that would eliminate more Jews than the Holocaust did.

Tolstoy you are right, sadly. But if they're unwilling to expend the effort, why should they enjoy the benefits of Judaism?

My ancestors worshiped Thor. Should I thus be classified as a Viking? Perhaps you can agree to call me Al Swearengen, Follower of Thor?

All hail Al Swearengen, mighty Follower of Thor!

It's very simple,you don't decide to be a jew or believe in judaism,in fact you can be an atheist or budist and still be a jew.
it's a dinasty,a family if your mother was jew and her mother was jew decent of Abraham then you are jew,for example if the opposite happens and your father was jew but your mother wasn't so you are not jew,you can be a part of the Jewish community and share the same beliefs but if you would like to marry a Jewish girl the Rabbi won't alow it.

Not decent.descended

taos Godwin'ed himself before he even started lol

Fortunately rabbis don't have ti approve your marriage anymore.

@bo what do mean they don't?
They do.

non-observant jews are my favourite type of jews (oh wait, that's because that covers me and half my family!).

Strictly speaking one can convert, up to the orthordox standard, but it is fucking hard, and in fact, I can only think of women who I know who have done it. If you are talking to reform jews in america anyone can be, but see if Israel would let them be Jewish on their identity cards... Oh, and bo, jews in israel do need approval, you have to get married out of israel if you want to avoid that.... Lots of people don't really know a lot about judaism and Israel, it's interesting.

jews are the chosen people - it's a reason the religion is quite different from the other abrahamic religions. whilst they all wanted people to convert, we didn't really give a shit - god had chosen us, and not everyone were destined to be part of the chosen people... tough luck. and the commands in the religious texts of christianity etc. are meant for everyone, jews have special commands only for them, or rather, heathens don't have to live up to the same standards. ;)

"heathens don't have to live up to the same standards."

And that's why we love jews :)

Surprise, Tolstoy joins a thread about Judaism and the Warsaw Ghetto uprising to attack Israel.

he just can't contain himself.

I suspect Santa is trying to make a point of some kind, I'm just not sure what it is.

@ Socrates, I'd say that being "chosen" is rather a burden then a gift. A 613 kg burden.

Oh, Santa doesn't need to make a point, Tolstoy...

He just needs to butt into any discussion on the Jews, declare himself Supreme Jew becuase, hey, HE talked to a rabbi, HIS Jewishness is Jewiest because, as we all know, Santa Clausowitz is the Jewish equivalent of Ralph Wiggum--

Looks to God and says "You choo-choo-choose me?"

+1 Taos, it's an ethno-religious-cultural...thing.

You convert to Judaism, but you can be born a Jew and remain an Atheist Jew...hence, me. :)

And with that, I say:

1. Sorry about your girlfriend, taos, but don't trash her, I mean, you must've had feelings for her, they're not invalid just because things either went sour or she turned out to be a bit of a bitch...your feelings were genuine at the start, so hang onto that, don't pretend like it was nothing.

2. That's enough of that kind of caring, let's get down to the fun of killing one another in a Kosher Gunboat, and

3. Santa...hi. How ya doin', buddy? Have they officially appointed you High Lord Kibitzer yet? No one's Jewish enough but the guy taking his name from a Christian Saint perverted into a fat man in a red suit that gives out toys and shills for Coke!

"@bo what do mean they don't?
They do."

If you live in Borough Park, *maybe* they do. Really nowhere else...

"I suspect Santa is trying to make a point of some kind, I'm just not sure what it is. "

I suspect Santa wants to know why any thread that has anything to do with Jews Tolstoy is on it posting his opinions on Israel. Yes I'm making a point and I think its quite accessible.

I don't know what's worse, Obi commenting from the blue about a thread that occurred over 2 years ago (maybe 3 now) or 2 people "like" it. Not only is there nothing related to your point in here, you would have to go back to at least last 2011 to find it...

but please Obi, comment on the one Bible passage that you know, from another thread that occurred about 2 years ago.

"@ Socrates, I'd say that being "chosen" is rather a burden then a gift. A 613 kg burden. "

nice

"I suspect Santa wants to know why any thread that has anything to do with Jews Tolstoy is on it posting his opinions on Israel. Yes I'm making a point and I think its quite accessible."

I suspect there have probably been a few threads about Jews and/or Israel I've missed, but I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one who posts frequently on threads on those topics. Which leads to the question of why you feel I ought to be singled out for this observation.

Absolutely! let me explain.

If I came into every god damned thread about Islam, or more analogous in this instance, about the West's suppression of Mossodegh in the fifties, and added "Assad killed 150,000," or " The Islamic population of Pakistan persecutes Christians" or "The state of Indonesia, is violently oppressing Papuans" People should rightfully question my connection between Islam and alleged crimes committed by one regime or population. In fact, if I may say so myself, such behavior would seem rather anti-Islamic, as I'm sure you agree, associating the alleged crimes of a political regime with either the history or religion that they happen to follow would be making judgments about all those that practice that religion. After all, why would I bring up Assad at all in such a conversation. I am positive that you would take umbrage to such behavior. Likewise I do not appreciate your behavior, which is completely analogous to the scenario provided above.

Why did Hitler kill himself?
The Jews sent him a gas bill!

"but please Obi, comment on the one Bible passage that you know, from another thread that occurred about 2 years ago."

*I* didn't even refer to that thread or passage itself, Santa...

This may be hard to swallow, but you've pulled your Uber-Jew card in more than just one squabble over Biblical interpretation.

I started that thread on Israel being a Jewish state, and in you came, blustering and picking a fight, even when you and I seemed to have more in common on that issue than not.

But anyway.

This is yet another fruitless digression.

"This may be hard to swallow, but you've pulled your Uber-Jew card in more than just one squabble over Biblical interpretation."

No,iin fact, I only pulled my uber-jew card in a discussion over God and when you chided jewish believers I suggested that you talk to a Rabbi before you did so, you said you had no need to talk to a rabbi, and then I "pulled the uber jew card" of course I remember this because you and Putin bring it up all the time.

that was over 2 years ago. And it had nothing to do with biblical interpretation.

If it makes you feel better I don't even remember your thread about Israel being a jewish state, how many years ago was that?
