I guess the NUMEROUS stories of Arab Chrsitians being persecuted by Israel don't count becaue they are Arab, right?
You do know what dismissing the testimony of people based on their race is called, right?
What a perversion of justice and Christian principles!
And you expect us to take you credibly when you say things like this?
You just totally shot any crediblity you may have had with me.
I don't reject testimony based on their race as you have above.
Who is talking about persecution of chrsitians in Iran other than you? Are you arguing wth yourself now?
And you claim there is no persecution of Christians in Israel by Jews?
The rest of your post tries to make a case, by implication, that all persecution of Christians in Israel is by Muslims. While some is, by no means is it all, and your arguments ignore all the attrocities and harrassment of Christians by the Jews in Israel and its goverment.
The very fact that the laws of Israel give rights and priveledges to Jews that it denies to Christians is itself persecution.
One should read this testimony from a retired TWA Captain, as well as a retired LCDR USN:There were a few minor inconveniences but all in all, a layover in the Tel Aviv Hilton was considered a good one.
The crews were given the same rooms each trip, so I got the same housekeeper, who I assumed was a nice Jewish lady. As is the custom, I brought her a small box of Chocolates each trip. She was very thankful.
On one occasion, I got talking with her. It was Saturday, and she was working. I asked her if she was violating Jewish law by working. To my surprise, she told me she was not Jewish, but an Orthodox Christian.
We spoke further about how things were for a Christian in The Jewish State. "Bad, real bad, Captain" was her reply. I questioned her further and got such a hard luck story as to be almost unbelievable, but this was a very open and honest woman. She told me of the discrimination she faced on a daily basis, the hardships of having to live in a segregated area far from work, the lower wages paid to Christians, pat-down body searches by Israeli soldiers at check points, and so on. She was in tears when she finally finished. I was very mad.
What did he do? He began to write letters regarding such injustices . . .
What happened to him? Something simliar we see here at CF that happens to those of us who DARE to stand up and be critical of the Zionist Regime in Israel . .. He was called on the carpet, harrassed . . let's look:
Enter
Mr. Suall, of the ADL. In a letter to my Chief Pilot, he complained loudly about how there was an anti-Semite flying TWA's airplanes, to Tel Aviv, of all places.
How does TWA expect it's Jewish passengers feel with a maniac like this flying them? I was hauled in to the office and asked to explain myself. I did. I told my boss I was exercising my freedom of the press, and I was not involving the company in my letters. I also pointed out that the Gentiles in Israel were Semites, whereas most of the Jews were not.
Apparently Suall became enraged that no action was taken. More letters followed in which I was described as insane, dangerous, a poor pilot, a drunk, a wife beater, a child abuser, etc. and for G-d's sake, shut this man up!. All this was nonsense, of course. I have a lovely Irish wife and 6 healthy, happy children. When asked by the boss what I had to say for myself, I called Suall a liar. I asked if there was any proof of what he said. There was none.

This is quite similar to the tactics taken against those who dare to take a stand against the policies and ideologies of Zionism here at CF . .. .
hmmmmmm . . . . . . . .
And what about that Anti-Defamation League? Is it really "anti-defamation"?
The leading official monitor of anti-Semitism, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith, interprets anti-Semitism as unwillingness to conform to its requirements with regard to support for Israeli authorities. These conceptions were clearly expounded by ADL National Director Nathan Perlmutter, who wrote that while old-fashioned anti-Semitism has declined, there is a new and more dangerous variety on the part of "peacemakers of Vietnam vintage, transmuters of swords into plowshares, championing the terrorist P.L.O.," and those who condemn U.S. policies in Vietnam and Central America while "sniping at American defense budgets." He fears that "nowadays war is getting a bad name and peace too favorable a press" with the rise of this "real anti-Semitism." The logic is straightforward: Anti-Semitism is opposition to the interests of Israel (as the ADL sees them); and these interests are threatened by "the liberals," the churches, and others who do not adhere to the ADL political line.114
The ADL has virtually abandoned its earlier role as a civil rights organization, becoming "one of the main pillars" of Israeli propaganda in the U.S., as the Israeli press casually describes it, engaged in surveillance, blacklisting, compilation of FBI-style files circulated to adherents for the purpose of defamation, angry public responses to criticism of Israeli actions, and so on.
114 Nathan and Ruth Perlmutter, The Real Anti-Semitism in America (Arbor House, 1982);
Necessary Illusions, Noam Chomsky 1989 Appendix V Segment 20/33
Hmmmm . . .sounds a lot like what happens here to those who dare criticize Israel and Political Zionism!
What a coincidence!
The ADL is
"...one of the ugliest, most powerful pressure groups in the U.S...Its primary commitment is to use any technique, however dishonest and disgraceful, in order to defame and silence and destroy anybody who dares to criticize the Holy State ('Israel')." --Noam Chomsky, Professor of Linguistics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Too many journalists run ADL spin with little real knowledge about the organization and it's history - even recent history.
Take the case of the couple in Denver, for example.
Judge rules that judgment against ADL stands [FinalCall.com] - A ruling by a federal judge in Denver March 31 which upheld most of a year-old $10 million jury finding that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) libeled a couple by falsely portraying them as anti-Semites may at last call into question the groups heretofore unassailable reputation as the sole "defender of the Jews" in America.
Judge Slams ADL for Hurting Couple Tarred As 'Anti-Semites' By Marc Perelman [forward.com] April 13. 2001 ... "Can you imagine an organization using money from Marc Rich, a guy who made millions dealing with anti-Semitic countries like Iran, attacking powerless people for some alleged anti-Semitic slurs?" he said.
UPHOLDING most of a $10 million defamation suit against the Anti- Defamation League, a federal judge in Denver has lambasted the organization for labeling a nasty neighborhood feud as an anti-Semitic event. In upholding the first-ever court defeat handed to the 87-year-old ADL, U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham said the organization had endorsed and publicized the bigotry accusations of a Jewish couple against its neighbors without either investigating the case or weighing the consequences. Judge Slams ADL for Hurting Couple Tarred As 'Anti-Semites'
hmmmm . .. $10 million dollar lawsuit won for libel for calling someone anti-semitic . .. . .
