I am bowing out of this thread and apologize for those who were hurt by my posts here.. ON a personal level, I can understand why a person would feel hated and alienated by their own people. I have felt the temptation to curse and turn on my own people. However, I realize no matter how bad I am treated or the lack of culture, learning, understanding, waging war against my own people is the ultimate evil. Maybe, I should not advocate for her death (by government, of course). Indeed, I understand I need to be more forgiving and can see harboring anger , hasn't led to me having a happy life. My Christian friends I had in the past always told me not to judge or throw the first stone if I am not sinless.. Sounds like this could be a Jewish concept as well.. I always thought the Jewish person should be vigilant and less forgiving, but as others said, if you are driving on Shabbat and turning on and off your lights you are at odds with Hashem.
On a completely different issue we should also be careful of saying 'so-and-so should die' on a public forum...
In some places saying such a thing may break a law, and it may inspire a crazy person to actually carry out our desire. In some way we are inciting violence against that person by saying 'so-and-so must die'...
I don't think the forum wants to wade in that question.
To set the record straight:
In the US, it is not illegal to say a person deserves to die , what is illegal is making a direct threat against someone.. I know the law , as I am on a lot of political and firearm forums and have discussed the issue with law enforcement. Any person who advocates a person
DESERVES to die is speaking from a moral perspective and is not making a threat, but sharing a feeling. Have you ever read a newspaper on the web and read the responses of when a child eating rapist gets 10 years in prison and everyone is cursing them and saying how they deserve death. If these statements were illegal, you would not be reading them on a newspaper. Now, anyone who directly says they will find that guy and kill him is in fact committing a crime, as they are making a direct threat to another person. This is , in fact, the law. If we are worried about the laws of other countries, well this web forum is already illegal in most Islamic countries and probably in Sweden, Norway, etc for promoting what is considered "bigotry" against Muslims and promoting ZIonism, which is also banned in many countries.
BTW.. If saying certain people deserve death is illegal, the JTF forum would be shut down a long time ago.. I mean, I don't know if anyone has browsed the forum posts as I have done, but there is plenty of death calls here on this forum.
BTW.. I can understand now that the english term "Race" applies to genetics in the context it is being used. However, the word originally was not used to necessarily as a genetic indicator and actually applied to people of certain cultural, ethnic and religious groups. Even, in old ENglish literature, you will find the term race being used in the same manner as people use the Hebrew word , "Am". But, as stated in this article, the term race later became more prevalent in denoting genetics.
As the english word "race" actually has this official definition which is close to the definition written in the Oxford dictionary..
Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by anatomical, cultural, ethnic, genetic, geographical, historical, linguistic, religious, and/or social affiliation. First used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations, in the 17th century, people began to use the term to relate to observable physical traits. Such use promoted hierarchies favorable to differing ethnic groups. Starting from the 19th century, the term was often used, in a taxonomic sense, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype.[1][2][3]
I apologize for using the term race, the greatest curse to Jews in Galut is the English, Germanic and Latin languages which are too verbose and don't properly correlate to Hebraic terms. Hebrew, being a language of small vocabulary, tends to more complex and needs a deeper understanding to interpret certain words which can have multiple meanings and can be falsely interpreted int different languages with verbose vocabularies, like English.
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/498027/jewish/Are-Jews-a-Race.htmI like the Chabad Rabbi's interpretation on the term Race.. Perhaps, the best term is Family?? Maybe, the word Am could really be meaning this in the concept of Am Yisrael.
