The world still does not consider any difference
between Jews and Israelis.
The world still does not  know,  nor see the difference , even.

Some are right............... some are wrong.

I say there is a difference ,
and even a big one.....!!!


Without going into a long discussion about the theology ,
the sociology, anthropology and history too
I shall give you one clear and specific example:


Beirut , was bombed 18 times by Israelis
Beirut was occupied by Israelis
Beirut was sabotaged 342 times by Israelis
Beirut was paralysed 83 times by Israelis

And yet , despite all that,
Beirut is rebuilding its main synagogue
when practicaly ,even now , less than 300 jews do live in Beirut,
(most of them are above 70 years old.)

Which means that my hometown, Beirut ,
does know the difference and does also make a difference !!!


Do you not  ???


And we dothe seperation between both groups
because we are more educated and morally-supperior

How to measure the Jewishness f any place

http://www.forward.com/workspace/assets/images/articles/basketball1-101708.jpg
A Jewish-sports- club , somewhere...
and yet , the ball is also round.






Some places on this earth compete
in the course of history about
their religious identity , in regard to a specific religion
or to another.....

If we are to choose Judaism , as for example ,
and if we are to measure the degree of Jewishness of any place ,
we could use the following formula to measure it :


For each Synagogue build : 1.500 points per year
For each Jewish-citizens : 100 points per year
For each Jewish Lord Mayor of that place : 1.000 points per year
For each Jewish-school : 500 points per years
For each Jewish University : 1.500 points per year
For each Jewish Head of State ruling that place : 5.000 points per year

Of course when the school is closed or a Synagogue is abandoned ,
or the Jewish-king is gone......the counting must stop......

Then we can decide to go back in History one or two thousand years
and even four thousands , as you wish.....

If we take ,now
Amsterdam, Istanbul, Cordoba , Jerusalem,
Damascus,
Baghdad, Tehran,Tel-Aviv, Alexandria
and or Prague
......for example ,
and we use my above formula in counting the Jewishness
of any of those cities......
( You may create your own formula, if you wish,
and as you wish )


I am sure that Jerusalem will come as the last one
and if not at least , "one-of-the- least-jewish- cities " .


I live 33 years in Amsterdam , where 5 Mayors have passed
out of which 4 where Jews....
and another douzen-Jew-Mayors before I came.(1975)
Let alone that Amsterdam might have more Synagouges
than the modern-Jerusalem.

Alexandria has had the largest Jewish community
ever in the Antique-times
and still has the largest Synagogue ever built.

Bearing in mind ,
that Jerusalem did have a non-jewish-Roman-rulers
when even Jesus was there.....untill the year 1948.

Damascus has the oldest still existing Synagogue
and has had once a Jewish-Syrian- King.

Georgia was Jewish 300 long years....if not longer.

Baghdad has the longest originally existing
and the purest Jewish-community in the World
and Tehran comes very close to it.....in that record.

Prague , if we calculate the last millennium only ,
has had qualitatively and quantitatively more Jews
and more Jewishness , than Jerusalem.

If you would calculate now the last 100 years only ,
New-York would be more jewish than Jerusalem... ..


So the Zionists ought to pick up their calculators
and should redefine "the Jewish-home"
even Lord Balfour called it "a" Jewish-home.


I may suggest New-York because it is the nearest to
the Federal-Reserve- building. ......
and not far from the Pentagon.
