Nolandforshalom:
It is important, regardless of how big the forum gets, to remember what Rabbi Kahane taught. We must not spread a message we have forgotten. I fear that in time very few will remember HaRav. We must prevent that.

--- Quote from: Rubystars on January 08, 2008, 08:55:48 PM ---I think there will always be conflicts between any group and any other group, but I think what unifies people of different faiths here are many things, but one major one is that we have a common enemy, radical Islam and even so-called (but not really) moderate Islam, either form of which wishes to destroy both the "Saturday people" and the "Sunday people". A Muslim doesn't care if you're a Jew, a Christian, a Buddhist, an Animist, or whatever. If you're not Muslim, they want to kill you.
Another major reason is that both Jews and white Western Christians are generally intelligent people capable of building and maintaining a civilized and generally moral society, while many other groups of people are not.

While it is true that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, that doesnt mean that he is my friend forever. The Crusades we a Catholic invention, as was the inquisition. We must not forget, nor forgive, the past. We are meant for great things, and this is why the world hates us. We cannot stop the world from hating us, and I trust more in G-d than I ever will in the Vatican, or anyone else for that matter.

I am Catholic and do not hate my fellow Jews, I have to think that I fight more for the Jews then I wish some Jews would do for themselves.

I believe that most Christians who would join this sort of forum are your true friends. Christians in America in particular are very favorable toward Israel, perhaps not so much in the rest of the world though.
As for the RCC, it labeled plenty of Christians as heretics and murdered them as well. I'm non-denom, so I would have been killed right along with everyone else if those kind of nutcases were in power now.
I don't like the RCC but I know that many Catholics themselves are nice people even if I don't agree with their theology.
I think the reason Chaim said not to bash Catholics is that not all of them are evil, and some are sincere in their support of Israel and those sincere people should be welcomed. I can't, of course, speak for anyone else, but that was the impression I got.
Nolandforshalom:
It is always good when a Gentile helps the Jews, but there can be no faith placed in this. Opinions change, and we must not be vulnerable because of Gentiles.
