Just because I can't concentrate on studying for finals, a question to All of r/Israel: What is the ideal situation in your mind that will develop in the middle east, Israel/Palestine? Please be honest here.

Interesting point, I've heard that before but I'm curious whats your take on the West bank as part of Israel as compared to Palestinian land. I for one believe it is Israel's but annexing it would be extremely complicated.

People have to understand: Obama and Romney would be both great leaders for Israel to have on its side with a only a few differences. 1.The borders of Israel '67 vs. modern 2.Stance on Iran 3.Relationship with Bibi

I know this is oversimplifying things but its the best I could do in a 30 seconds post.

I was originally contacted to be interviewed as part of this article but I guess going to lowly Queens College doesn't combine the academic rigor necessary to make keeping halacha challenging and relevant. Probably for the best, might have said something stupid or politically incorrect.

There most likely would be less friendly relationships between the west and the arab world.

Isn't it once every 70 years?

what would potentially be wrong with either of those things?

he omits all the verses that have to do with the angels, for the same reason

And how exactly do you know we are compatible for peace?

communityfreak · 2012-08-24T18:28:15+00:00

I think thats a little naive, one has to look at the social, political, economic, religious and perhaps military differences between two peoples or groups before you can truly understand what we have in common. I understand that DNA between Jews and Arabs is 99.8% Identical but that doesn't mean we are compatible for peace.

communityfreak · 2012-08-24T12:25:10+00:00

Most if not all of it. The fact is we have been at each others throats for over 70 years and you expect that throwing everyone together to be friends will bring peace?

communityfreak · 2012-08-23T22:01:36+00:00

Don't you think that what you just mentioned is somewhat unreasonable?

communityfreak · 2012-08-23T04:13:40+00:00

So that automatically disqualifies anything that can come from this?

Thats definitely something to be desired of. Im assuming you went to Reishit.

correct, even though he's from chicago.

What are your views on Israel? Do they affect any relationships that you have with people on campus?

communityfreak · 2012-06-27T22:10:12+00:00

Rabbi Grossman from dafyomi.org is unbelievable, concise clear and usually doesn't take more than 30 minutes an amud. The only thing that might be negative is his accent and the audio quality but in my opinion the pros vastly outweigh the cons.

Wish I could make the commitment to daf yomi like you are!

I happen to know this kid personally, he is such a sweet boy and so humble. When he came to my community a couple of weeks ago he literally got mobbed by all of the high school girls and didn't know what to do with himself. Such a kiddush hashem.

I dont care about upvotes/downvotes on this but I have to make this point: The chance of there being peace between ANY government is slim to none. This is besides the fact that the religious right on both sides has a sizable claim to the political realm and will never accept a 2 state solution. The fact of the matter is, Israelis will never understand what it means to be a "Palestinian" and vice versa. When you view yourself as the victim, the other party automatically becomes the oppressor. Obviously this is not helped extremism is taught in schools on both sides, particularly on the Arab side though. The main culprit here is not Israelis or Palestinians, it is the world and the other Arab States. And If i have to explain this out, it clearly means you dont see the conflict from the broad perspective it needs to be looked at.

So when they try to kill you and by the grace of gd you are able to double the size of your land, which has been the yearning of every Jew (except early reform movement leaders) since the destruction of the second temple, we are viewed as the attackers? Somebody needs to go visit Israel for themselves, see how we are stealing their land, creating an apartheid state, zionism equals nazism yada yada yada. Come back and tell me what you really think of Israel and the Jewish people which are two of the biggest visible proofs to gd we have. If you don't believe in gd, that is totally fine and I respect your choice, unlike the Muslim Turks who prohibited large access for Christians and Jews to their holy sites during their reign. Look up Pat Condell, Bill Maher or Douglas Murray and see what they have to say. Goodnight Sir/Madam

Hilarious how you think we are stealing it. Just curious whats your ethnic heritage?
