POPSEinstein: Jews not Choosen People He declined an invitation to become Israel's second president, rejected the idea that the Jews are God's chosen people. "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions," he said. "And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people." And he added: "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

POPSEinstein's letter makes view of religion relatively clear In the letter, he states: "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."

POPSDoes it Undo the Christian and Muslims, too? If it proves that the Exodus is a MYTH then so is the bible. Then so is Christianity and the Muslim faith. And they all know it. Now its not about faith. It's about hoax!!! They should be in court as crooks but the courts too have their vested interest. Think of it as proving to children that there is a Father Christmas. Ok, no one is defrauded or cheated like these religions founded on myth not faith. And all this knowledge arose from attempting to prove that the European Jews had some right to the land of Israel. No matter how creative they have been, all their archaeology efforts have proven is the opposite to their theory. The Zionist have succeeded in one thing. Bringing archaeology into disrepute! And religion!

POPSChild Abuse in Sickening Detail. Death a relief Having read the details of this horrific child abuse, which is beyond anything I've previously read, I'm left incapable of rational thought. Recently there was a sex/cult event in Texas. In comparison with this it was a non-event. This has been kept hushed up. Why? Is it because of the involvement of a Haredi Orthodox Rabbi as the prime torturer? Recently another child abuser in Australia was given safe haven in Israel. Is it opportune while the pope seeks forgiveness in the USA, that abuse of children that would put the Nazis to shame would see the light of day in the 'free and fair' USA media. Is there a word on this atrocity? What society allowed this to happen? This was no overnight phenomenon. What religion sees it as creed to torture children beyond what would be acceptable to the worst criminal or terrorist? How sick is the society?

POPS'Women's Legal Rights set back by Decades' Democracy how are ye. Not in 'democratic' Israel if you are female. No state divorce, but by men only judges in a religious court. Called a 'get' probably because a female isn't getting one anytime soon. Some suicides recorded while males live and beget with new partners!

POPSIreland's Favourite GAY. Next President? No, we're not running out of great candidates to continue the great female line of Irish Presidents, but David isn't getting any younger so maybe the females would give him a turn.

POPS"Zionism is Bankrupt" Richist Zionist from USSR "Lev Avnerovich Leviev (born in Tashkent, Soviet Union) is a Chabad Orthodox Bukharian Jewish billionaire who lives in London. Leviev is ranked 210th among the world’s wealthiest people, with an estimated personal net worth of $6.5 billion, although his associates put the figure closer to $8 billion. Lev Leviev was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in 1956. His parents, Avner and Chana Leviev, were prominent members of the Bukharian Jewish community. In 1971, when he was fifteen, his family immigrated from Uzbekistan to Israel. Shortly afterwards, Leviev began to work as an apprentice in a diamond polishing plant, learning the 11 steps of the diamond cutting process. After serving in the IDF, he established his own diamond polishing plant. ...Wikipedia. Blood diamonds? No evidence of any persecution in USSR. Myth too?

POPSA Jew seeking Peace in Israel. 
"Only recently have the majority of Israelis and the majority of the political parties that compose the government come to understand that we must break the link. The majority of Israelis realize that in order to maintain Israel as the state of the Jewish people, we must break the link, we must remove the settlements in the hinterlands of the West Bank, and we must come back home to the state of Israel within the Green Line border. As part of this new reality in Israel, the settlement movement is increasingly becoming perceived as a threat to the existence of the state. Those sentiments will strengthen if it appears that there is a real partner for peace in Palestine and that the peace process is genuine. Land and Peace "The problem that we will face, and we experienced this in the disengagement from Gaza, is that the split of opinions in Israel on the issue of land and peace is very similar to the religious-secular split in the society. Chances are that if you are a religious Isra

POPSUS: "Most Dysfunctional of Developing Democracies" God's fault “The United States is almost always the most dysfunctional of the developing democracies, sometimes spectacularly so.” “In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy and abortion in the prosperous democracies."

POPSYou won't believe. Marriage, Israeli Style. NO Civil Marriage. 
It's true that they'll attend the same educational institutions, will study Hebrew and Bible and history - but they will not be allowed to marry "kosher" Jews, because we are the Chosen People, holy seed. In effect the proposal of the justice minister, who believes it is liberal, was meant to give a donkey's burial to the agreement reached on the issue of "rishum hazugiyut" (registration of people living as couples) as a way of overcoming the failure to provide the right to marry in a civil marriage. This process enables people who love each other and who are not members of the same religion or group, as well as secular people, to start a family whose rights will be recognized by the government and the public. Now the minister and his friend the rabbi are establishing a separate group of religion-less people, and this disgrace is directed first and foremost at immigrants from the former Soviet Union; it's no wonder that people are beginning to organize to oppose it. And, in fact

POPSIsraeli Citizens Cannot Marry each other FREELY!!!
This process enables people who love each other and who are not members of the same religion or group, as well as secular people, to start a family whose rights will be recognized by the government and the public. Now the minister and his friend the rabbi are establishing a separate group of religion-less people, and this disgrace is directed first and foremost at immigrants from the former Soviet Union; it's no wonder that people are beginning to organize to oppose it. And, in fact, the time has come for the citizens, the press and all the media to wake up and do something to save democracy and to prevent racism, which must be eliminated from the world. I was astonished to read that some people see the establishment of a "sect of secular people," whose members are permitted only to one another and not to anyone from the outside, as a first step to civil marriage for all: That is not the case. Here they have buried civil marriage as well as the idea of registering couples.
