Quote Hrolf The Ganger at 28 Nov 2015 12.05pm

WW2 created the circumstances but the Jewish ideal was always to return to the Biblical promised land.
Israel has no real basis in history, it is purely a Biblical and therefore religious myth.
If there was ever a substantial Jewish homeland it was not modern day Israel. Religion was entirely responsible for the concept and the reality of Jewish settlement.

To say the war created the circumstances and then say religion was entirely responsible are contradictions.

The Jews historically came from that area...I'm not arguing here about the decision the UN came up with and the British implemented. I'm replying to the assertion that religion is 'entirely responsible'.

I think a better way to phrase it is to say 'group identity'. Religion wasn't and isn't a significant factor for many Jews in moving to Palestine....A real understanding of Judaism understands that it is an extremely broad religion which is practiced in the same way that Buddhism embraces both the religious but also the secular.

You have your religious Jews and you have your secular Jews.....Many of them think they have a right to a life in Israel.

I'm sorry but that cannot be true. They moved to that area specifically because of the Biblical story. There are plenty of other places they could have gone.

If the Bible is not a religious book and therefore a religious reason to move to Palestine then I don't know what is.

The Torah is the holy book of the Judaism. Whilst the bibles old testament is sourced in the Torah and history of the Jewish tribes, it is not a complete adaption etc.

The Biblical Story is the Christian version of the stories and myths of the Jewish tribes prior to the new testament.


LOL you arguing over which holy book from which faith is more correct!

They're probably all complete bollocks and made up by someone who was afraid of dying.

Not really.

Jamie is right of course about the origins of the Biblical reference and the other stuff.
My point is that the whole basis of Israel existing at all is purely from the religious writings. Thee is no actual evidence outside of that. Therefore, as I said, Israel was formed purely on the basis of religious belief rather than fact. The fact that many factions ultimately chose to go there for varying reasons does not alter that.

The truth is that countries are formed by people with capacity to sufficient violence to establish their authority over others.

The one thing that unites all nations is the 'right of the state to control the sole authority on the use of violence'

There were first mentioned - the Israelite tribe from Canaan or summat - in some very early and I think non-religious Hellenic text so geographically were placed at some point between the Eastern Med and Jordan way before the Bible and Torah.

Quite right, the Kingdom of Judea would be the closest to a real 'incidence' of Israel.

Religion cannot be allowed to stifle debate. This is the irony that some of our progressive liberal friends overlook.

I don't know about that, historically Catholicism and Protestantism were pretty 'hardcore' about challenges to belief, even trivial ones. The Catholics were very keen on 'monopolisation' of religion, even their own.

Nowdays, maybe, but there is a reason why no one can pick Cathar on the European list of Religions.

23 Islamic countries have apostasy as a crime; in some of these countries it carries the death penalty.

There are no Christian countries where apostasy is a crime.

Key word, "historically". Islam is running about 500 years behind everyone else. With the exception of a few people in Texas.

Now. But there have been. Plenty. Historically, neither side has the moral high ground.
