We might be well served to remember there were Pharisees in the time of Jesus.. modern name Zionists.. not synonymous with Jews… In America we have the Deep State… Pelosi, Biden, Schumer and the likes don’t represent and are not synonymous with Hard Working Americans…
Just Sayin’..
You should also read up on what Phariseeism was. While the church speaks of them as if they are some wholly separate entity, it’s fairly certain that Jesus was himself a pharisee, where the word refers to a mindset toward approaching scripture and not necessarily a group of people.
From Wikipedia:
Hyam Maccoby speculated that Jesus was himself a Pharisee and that his arguments with Pharisees is a sign of inclusion rather than fundamental conflict (disputation being the dominant narrative mode employed in the Talmud as a search for truth, and not necessarily a sign of opposition).[72] However, Maccoby's views have been widely rejected by scholars.[73]
(Do not rely on the judgment of the scholars but on the arguments and on what constitutes/d “being Pharisean”, then compare that against Jesus’ words and actions. “Scholars” seem to come to an awful lot of wrong conclusions…)
Thanks for your response. Am I correct in supposing that in reality your "Just saying" comment has a reason?
My reason for repeating the phrases this "Jew" committed, is by mirroring his words, it becomes clear how totally debased and hostile these words actually are. Were the shoe on the other foot, the man would be behind bars.
The other point I would add, is that the word Jew, or Jewish, is in its origin: a pejorative, as the real name Yehudim would be more fitting. But then again, the question then is: who are they, really? See: Words have meaning: See also my comments in that thread.
There is no intention in my veins to call for anti-semitism, nor am I factually calling for it. I am merely pointing to the inconsistency and double standards these people exhibit. Although they claim anti-semitism, such an anti-ism would also entail to be anti-arabic. And it seems the Arabs are playing catch-up.
And as such, this makes the whole Israeli-Palestinian thing a bit peculiar, doesn´t it, like it has been put on its head.
Any label we put on any “Group” of people, be them pejorative or admirable, are the most effective weapon for the Real Enemy, as it many times causes unnecessary division between the people they Need to control to maintain their position of power, and or Cloaks those that are truly complicit..
I believe Group Think and Group Condemnation, and or Admiration, is something we would all be well advised to avoid..

Goodness, would you look at that!
He died right as Covid was first coming out.
How coincidental!

Focusing on being in opposition to evil and in support of good and righteousness seems like the way to go.
