It never occurred to me before this war with Hamas started to consider the ways of Jewish society. I’d always felt, growing up, that they were snobbish, clannish, because they kept to themselves while Christians were outspoken and even pushy, ringing doorbells to tell about their faith to strangers.
The Jews never do that, they never proselytize, in fact it’s very difficult and a lot of work to become a Jew if you aren’t one, you have to study and pass tests and be accepted. This is because Jewishness isn’t just a religion, it’s genetic. You have to be born a Jew and this is why there’s so few of them in the world.
The Muslims consistently lie about everything, and almost all the other media is slanted against the Jews, so to be able to have a clear picture of events it’s necessary to use Israel’s Jewish news sources as the most accurate and truthful, which they consistently are, and in the course of doing this, I also read the blog comments.
It’s really striking what a difference there is between what Muslims and the Jews say and express. With the Muslims it’s a constant stream of name calling, threats, hate, vile, abusive language, and lies.
What the Jews have to say is always supportive of each other, encouraging, and expressions of sympathy, love and concern. The Muslims don’t seem to give a single damn about each other and when one of them gets killed trying to kill Jews, all you hear is raging against the Jews. When a Jew gets killed fighting the Muslims, what you hear is sympathy for the family and gratitude for his sacrifice for the Jewish people.
There is no comparison between Jews and Muslims, no common ground. Judaism teaches the Jews to be supportive and care for each other and cherish their children, Islam teaches the Muslims to have no value for life, not their own, their children, or anyone else’s. Islam teaches fear of their god of death, Judaism teaches love of their god of life.
Following this war has made me appreciate these people, where before I can’t say that I did, much. If I had to make a choice between who was to live next door to me, a Muslim, a Christian or a Jew, I would pick the Jew because I could depend on the Jew to not steal from me and to not mess with me, and I can’t say that about the other two.
