[QUOTE="Allthishate"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] a nation is also its peopleDarkman2007seriiously lol fuk @#% rofl this is getting tedious and pathetic imo what makes you think a nation is not also composed of its people. when a country declares war on another ( for instance) , it declares it on the people of that country, it is the people of that said nation who compose the country, its not two seperate things. frankly this notion of "I hate the country but have nothing against the people" nonsense, is just that, nonsense, especially in a democratic society.
Because you are devolving the argument to a pointless issue of semantics.
Why is it inconceiveable to hate the state but not the nation. In fact, it happens all the time. It's pretty much the source of every civil war, for example.

thank u[QUOTE="worlock77"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] Im not blaming you on a personal level , but what I am blaming you for pretty much ignoring history , by pretty much saying "well, society did not want the Jews, it tried to exterminate them several times, so what, who cares, they had no right to leave". again , its a matter of historical consequence, you can't just wash your hands of history and pretend like nothing happend.Darkman2007
I'm not ignoring history. Goddamn, I feel like I'm arguing with my grandmother here. Thick as a goddamn brick wall.
if your response to it is basically "so what?" then yes, it is ignoring in a way. though frankly , the average Jew does not care wheter you (or anyone else) agrees with the creation of a Jewish state or not.I never said "so what?" to the persecution of Jews. F*cking hell.....

hating the governemnt is not the same as a state, they are not the same. I do not hate Turkey , I might have some issues with its policy towars the Kurds, but I do not hate the country, or state (wheter you want to go through the political model or otherwise), that is one example. you can say its semantics, but I would say its important.if your response to it is basically "so what?" then yes, it is ignoring in a way. though frankly , the average Jew does not care wheter you (or anyone else) agrees with the creation of a Jewish state or not.[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

Cool. So now whenever he says "Isreal" implicitly convert it to "Isreali government" because now you know exactly what he means.
Then you can move on to actually discussing some kind of issue instead of playing semantics games.

then you tell me right here, what are the consequences of it? I still didn't hear it from you. as for your other comment, the state is a political unit, constrained by territory, the government is the ruler of that state , and implements various policies, one can quite easily have issues with the policy of a government without having nothing against the state itself. but the state, nation and government are connected, one has to remember that.if youre ignoring the consequences of it, you are. its not hard to understand, and Ive been saying the same thing over and over.[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="worlock77"]

Okay. Just curious. The creation of the country comes up in a negative way in these threads and I can't get why that should matter now.

well , to be precise, the consequences were large numbers of Jews leaving, which led to the creation of the state. and like I said, that was a consequence , aruging wheter it was right or wrong is frankly stupid, almost insulting in a way. of course the nature of the government changes and borders change, but that doesn't change the fact that the nation and the state are connected on a basic level, a state is one thing which helps define a nation , and vice versa, when people refer to the United Kingdom , they refer to the political unit, even though the state is for all intents and purposes, the UK and the British are one and the same, and are interconnected.Umm.....

Long distance relationship.
Oh, well we are still ( I know what you are going to think when I say this word :P ) Together. In fact we have been together for almost 6 months.......Listen if you didn't kill Jesus there wouldn't even be an issue, but you went ahead and did so. Pretty straight forward stuff.
xscrapzx
Jews did not kill Jesus, that was the Romans who today are Italians. Jews killed Jesus is just anti-semitic.
Besides Jesus was a jew. It isn't who killed Jesus that matters to Christianity, it's the message of what he did when he was alive.

no I won't and frankly I will use it against them for the next thousand years if need be. the fact of the matter is , if somebody feels the need to complain about the creation of the Jewish state, despite history (in many cases his own people's history), then I will indeed sink quite low if need be, and this includes blaming them for stuff that happened not all that long ago tbh, hell , given the figures , Id say I still have things to blame them for, so why not eh.

no , but like I said, courtesy will be met by courtesy, I do not complain to people on the other side of the world on why their country should or should not not have been created, and yet people seem quite happy to do the same thing to the Jewish people, and unless those people are at war with me , they really have no reason to complain either.
