Now you've been careful to distinguish between Jew and Zionist in your posts so far and to distance yourself from accusations of anti-Semitism. Wise move. However when you write 'proclaimed Jews' in that quoted passage it offers the inference that you might be anti-Semitic. It certainly highlights that no matter how far some folk go in trying to distinguish Jews from Zionists...they just can't do it.

The ME has been in conflict for most of recorded history and so has the rest of the world. Attributing all the ills of the world to a group of ill-defined people is conspiracy theory 101 in a bubble.

When people opt to explain the ills of the world by blaming one murky group, I think they diminish *all* people and groups. They make everyone passive victims who can't defend or think for themselves. For the (whatever) group they blame, it makes them all-powerful and suggests that they alone are able to make decisions.
Genghis Khan united the tribes into the Mongol Empire. What role did Zionists/Jews play in that? If they had no role (even in conspiracy thinking), isn't it time you began to accept the possibility that humans in general are more than capable of being cruel to each other and starting wars without help from ill-defined groups?As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

That picture is exactly right. The Jews were banned from ever returning to the Holyland until the Messiah returned.
