  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Anti-Semitism on the rise around the world

Leftists, Muslims and Nazis all seem to be teaming up against Jews right now.

The attack at Bondi is symptomatic of this larger trend.

What can be done to address the haters and overthrow their agenda?
Stop pretending that the current state of Israel is the fulfillment of God's promise to the Jews.

Only removal of them from civilized nations can deal with it fully

This is a confusing reply. First it seems to be a non-sequitur, no where does the article or poster mention the state of Israel and God's promises. Secondly, it could be interpreted to mean under certain circumstances it's Okay to kill random people at the beach. i.e. if they feel Israel is the fulfillment of God's promise. I'm sure that isn't what you meant, just letting you know your comment could be misinterpreted.

That doesn't sound like a good a strategy for successful fund raising.

I was talking about anti-Semitism and the completely unacceptable attack at Bondi Beach is a symptom of that. I hope you are not suggesting that the existence of the state of Israel justifies murder of Jews.

Personally I support both Jews and Israel and am happy to defend both here.

30000 Messianic Jews in Israel are the fulfilment of the promise to the Jews. God gave them the land and Christian Jews can claim the promise. As long as these guys stand, so should the state of Israel.

There are a lot of Leftists, Muslims and Nazis to remove. Maybe we could try persuasion and punishment for anti-semitic behavior first

You are right, I do support the state of Israel but this thread was meant to be about anti-Semitism and the growing problem of this. It seems that people may be conflating the two but actually they are separate issues.

What happened at Bondi beach is unacceptable regardless of whether you support the state of Israel or not.

It was meant as advice to a Christian asking how best to respond to the recent rise in antisemitism.

Suggesting that Jews give up the state that is their home from pogroms and persecutions that have been going for 2000 years around the world and that we should give in to the murderous rage of Islamist terror groups who want a Palestinian state from the river to the Sea is not the way to stop antisemitism. Try again.

Actually, it had already been home to home to many Jews for centuries. It was a refuge for Jews driven out of Christian Europe.

Various Ottoman governors killed them or stole their property. They were overtaxed and victimized under centuries of Muslim rule - so how does this support your case? Much of the property Palestinians claim was stolen from them was originally stolen from Jews. Jews in Israel can keep their property, are taxed fairly and can defend themselves with overwhelming force is the difference between having a state and not. They are also thriving there in a way that never happened under the various corrupt and incompetent Ottoman governors. There are orange groves in the desert now where before it was just wasteland.
