During the time period I just mentioned? What kind of retarded question is that? I really don't see a point in talking to you, all you do is ignore everything I say and focus on one thing to direct away from the original point, and ask a single retarded question, like I literally crushed your ass so hard you couldn't say anything except to direct away from the conversation with silly questions.Just to be clear, when do you think Biden was president?

The historical "nation" in Judaism refers to peoplehood, a shared religious and cultural identity which existed in Judea and Samaria in the ancient kingdom in which Jews were commanded to live.
A small bordered kingdom in a religious context is a far more humble divine decree than the global domination and overt imperialism Christendom and Islam which historically sought to proselytize and conquer as far as their empires could reach.
Implying that Jews get some sort of "special" or "big" benefit by having self determination and is therefore condemnable is a pretty clear double standard.
You dont think its anything special?This was the covenant G-d made with Abraham as symbolized by Brit Milah.
I mean your arguement here is literally we were commanded to live in this land .. forever. Thousands of yeara can pass.. its yours regardless... its commanded and divine..
A God telling you . You are his chosen people. And i give you this land for eternity... would think thats pretty special lol. I do lol
Not really. What is different from Manifest Destiny?You dont think its anything special?
Are you serious? Lmfaoooooo who is this guyCOVID lockdowns were in 2020, Biden was president until Jan 20 2021.
it's all public information, required to be disclosed by law. americans are just retarded and don't careIf it's confirmed it's absolutely insane.
No that is not my argument.
You were criticizing the theological origins of Judaism in having ties to the modern land of Israel on a trope of "chosen-ness" which has been a historically misconstrued point of antisemites against Jews. I was responding to this theological criticism as being "unique" in comparison to other religious claims to land - which is rather not unique at all, but is actually far more limited in scope in comparison to the other Abrahamic religions.
Yes, I believe Jews are G-d's Chosen People. We were chosen to bring knowledge of a singular G-d to the nations and for that we would be as a nation as well. That's it. No other special benefits, rights or favors.
Indeed. Which is why it would probably be a good idea to stop using such arguements... and statements like he did with the " and for that we would be a nation.. "The formation of the modern state of Israel has very little to do with following divine decrees and was by and large secular. Judaism has always been an ethno-religion, which is a difficult division and concept for many raised in the Christian (or Muslim) faith to grasp. Israel doesn't and shouldn't require divine decree to justify its existence, like any other modern nation state.
well yes fair enough... which is. Why i was responding to him when he said.. " We were chosen to bring knowledge of a singular G-d to the nations and for that we would be as a nation as well.The original chosen-ness was to be gifted g-d's teachings. Jews regard the receiving of the commandments as a gift and a blessing, yes. It is taught that the receiving of the Torah happened in Sinai, not in Mexico to ancient Aztecs. Aztecs similarly were chosen by their gods to receive their teachings...
Mannifest destiny is hilariously stupid and enabled a lot of the fucked up things to happen in the americas and justified a aweful lot of horrendous shite.......Not really. What is different from Manifest Destiny?
Let's be honest here. When somebody says, "Jews think they're special because they think they're chosen" what that person is really saying is that Jews think they can be arrogant, elitist, and prejudiced.
My point was that this isn't the case. I'm not better than you or more important than you because I'm Jewish.
I think you confuse me referencing religious teachings/belief with “making an argument”. Merely clarifying language to you which you and many others have taken issue with, without understanding the correct context.No. Asking a question and politely disagreeing with how people would take the response is not me critizing the theological origins of judaism..... .... come on now
Dunno man.. being the chosen people guaranteed by god to have a nation of your own seems a pretty big special benifit and favour right there man.
I know you think thats you saying your no different... but thats not how most people would take that.
This isnt a critism of judaism.. this is a viewpoint that people wont be reading that and taking it like he intended....
If his original post didnt mention jews you would have zero issues with my response.
Indeed. Which is why it would probably be a good idea to stop using such arguements... and statements like he did with the " and for that we would be a nation.. "
When some use divine decree to justify your state it seems odd to me to get worked up at me for acknowledging it and queering it
You should probably stop using ones like this too.
Judea and Samaria in the ancient kingdom in which Jews were commanded to live.
I thought it was worth mentioning that most people will think being ordained or having commanded by god is something special. So i dont think it will be taken as he intended.
Well yeah. If it was a aztec i was responding to who said
" Our gods commanded us to spread the word. And for that they promised us a nation"
That's it. No other special benefits, rights or favors."
I highly doubt youd think i was critising the theological origins of aztecs for saying i dunno man
