Arabs hate Jews, right?
WRONG.
"Life's Good for Jews of Bahrain" . . .[J]ust 36 of Bahrain’s 700,000 or so inhabitants are Jews.
It's hard to find a minority smaller than that - yet, they still feel at home.
“The community is quite happy,” said Nancy Khedouri, 31, a Bahraini Jew. “People are very friendly. I went to school here, and all my friends from childhood are here. They always accepted me for who I was. It’s a very open society.”* * * Bahrain’s ambassador in Washington, Naser al-Belooshi, spoke proudly of his country’s Jewish community at a recent speech at a synagogue in Florida sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.
Khedouri, who’s writing a book on the subject, says that as many as 1,500 Jews once lived in Bahrain. Nearly all of them came from Iraq, starting with the Yadgar family in the 1880s. The Yadgars became wealthy from the textile trade, while another prominent Jewish family, the Nonoos, made their fortune in banking, and the Khedouris are Bahrain’s leading importer of tablecloths and bed linens.
Electronics retailer Rouben Rouben was born in 1954 to a Sephardi Jewish family from Baghdad.
“In the 1930s and ’40s, the area along Al-Mutanabi Road was known as ‘Jews’ Street’ because there were so many Jewish-owned shops,” Rouben told JTA. “On Saturday, all the shops would close for Shabbat.”
Things changed in 1948 with the establishment of the State of Israel. Riots erupted, the synagogue was burned down and most of Bahrain’s Jews emigrated to Great Britain.
Even in the 1960s, there were still 200 to 300 Jews in the country, but after 1967 — when anti-Israel riots again broke out following the Six-Day War — Jewish communal life in Bahrain came to an end.
Today, the country’s Jews rarely get together, Khedouri said. The last Jewish funeral was in 2001, and they barely managed to get a minyan.
“The community is dying out,” she said. “There is no rabbi here, so all religious ceremonies must be conducted abroad. Most of the people who are still in Bahrain are single. There’s not much to choose from, and there are very few cases of intermarriage between Jews and Arabs.”
That's normal. It's common for people from different faiths not to intermarry.
Muslim Arabs don't marry Christian Arabs and no one thinks twice of it.
The community’s unofficial leader is Abraham David Nonoo, who’s also a member of Bahrain’s 40-man Shura, or parliamentary council.
Nonoo, who couldn’t be reached for comment, recently renovated the country’s synagogue with his own funds.
“The roof started falling in, so we decided to renovate it, inside and outside,” Rouben said. “The community at one point wanted to convert the building for another use or give it to charity, but the government wouldn’t let us. They insisted it remain as a synagogue.”
Finding the shul isn’t easy, because it isn’t identified in any way as a Jewish house of worship. Even Khedouri had a hard time locating the nondescript beige structure along Sasa’ah Avenue in a lower-class commercial district of Manama.
In fact, the only marking on the synagogue itself was a blue-and-white bumper sticker slapped on the front door with the Arabic word “la,” or “no,” superimposed on the U.S. and Israeli flags, with a message in Arabic: “Every dinar you pay toward American goods goes to kill a Palestinian. And every dinar you pay toward the Palestinian people helps restore their rights.”
Shopkeepers eyed this reporter warily as he snapped pictures of the synagogue, which is always closed — as is the Jewish cemetery on the outskirts of town.
However, both were visited in the early 1990s by Yossi Sarid, a left-wing member of Israel’s Knesset, when a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict appeared imminent. The Jewish state quietly set up trade offices in Oman and Qatar, two moderate Arab countries that seemed ripe for peacemaking.
“Then the intifada started and things went backward,” said Rouben, noting that the trade office in Oman closed in the wake of hostilities, though the Israeli mission in Qatar remains open for business.
Rouben, who sells TV sets, DVD players, copies, fax machines and kitchen appliances from his downtown showroom, said “95 percent of my customers are Bahrainis, and the government is our No. 1 corporate customer. I'VE NEVER FELT ANY KIND OF DISCRIMINATION.”
His nephew, Daoud Rouben, 19, is studying architecture at MIT. Daoud has two sisters; one goes to Cambridge University, while the other is at the London School of Economics on a Bahraini government scholarship.
“I think people abroad have an image that the Middle East is full of tension between Arabs and Jews,” said Daoud Rouben, who was back home visiting family.
Now, WHERE do they get that idea from?
“But if I walk down the street here, people can’t tell where I’m from. They think I’m just another Bahraini.”The only restriction at all, the elder Rouben said, is that he can’t travel to Israel. But he claims he wouldn’t do that anyway until there’s peace between Arabs and Jews.
Khedouri says she feels the same way.
“We’ve never been to Israel, we have nobody there, and because we hold Bahraini passports we cannot travel to Israel,” she said. “As far as we’re concerned, whatever the government will not let us do, we will not do. We’re law-abiding citizens.”
Rouben said that even during Israel’s recent war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, he had no problems.
“Since we are a very small community, everybody knows who we are. EVEN IF YOU GAVE ME ALL THE WEALTH IN THIS WORLD, I WOULDN'T LEAVE THIS COUNTRY. For me, IT IS HOME.”
He added cautiously, “The government doesn’t tell me, ‘You’re a Jew, you can’t do this, you can’t do that.’
Which is EXACTLY what israelis do to Palestinians.
The day they say that, I’ll be packing my bags.”
But, unlike in israel, it will never happen in a Muslim country. And he knows it.
Not as long as they abide by the laws that apply to ALL citizens.
So, that settles that.
Neither Arabs nor Muslims hate Jews - IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Indeed, ZIONISTS HATE ALL NON-JEWS.
Heck, they even hate Jews who stand up to them, which is not too surprising because ZIONISM IS A HATEFUL, SUPREMACIST IDEOLOGY.
AND, as if that wasn't bad enough, they're also HARDCORE LIARS.

Yes. Because you are a 'proud Zionist', which is a supremist ideology, where the chosen of Zion can do what they like agianst the goy or those who are not Zionist.
If you are a talmudic zionist, you hate GOY.
"Every non-Jew who studies the Talmud and every Jew who helps him in it, ought to die."
-Sanhedryn, 59a, Aboda Zora 8-6, Szagiga 13
"To communicate anything to a non-Jew about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the non-Jew knew what we teach about them they would kill us openly."
-Libbre David 37
"If a Jew be called upon to explain any part of the rabbinic books, he ought to give only a false explanation. Whoever will violate this order shall be put to death."
-Libbre David 37
"A Jew should and must make a false oath when the non-Jew asks if our books contain anything against them."
-Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore 17
"The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts..."
-Saba Mecia 114, 6
"When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves."
-Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D
"God created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night." - Midrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L
It seems to me that he accurately dictated the text as you did not deny any of it but merely explained it - rather poorly, I might add.
The point, however, is that actions speak louder than words.
These texts are believed because they go a long way to explain zionist conduct.
---------------------------------------
"Money" has no value - people do.
PJZ, I have seen the Talmud and all its 64 volumes, but - alas - I cannot read and translate them. So we goys have to rely on translations of the relevant passages into English by some Jews who have converted/turned against Judaism.
Like in Benjamin Freedman's "Facts are Facts" and Micheal Hoffman's "Judaism's Strange Gods". Have you seen these booklets? These texts exist in print (I have them) and not just in the Internet and they do report very offensive - for Christians - passages extracted from the Talmud. There must be offensive passages, indeed, if it's true that the Popes regularly ordered the public burning of all talmudic books at regular intervals in history, at least in the territories and kingdoms they did have control of.
Regarding your translations, maybe you're also translating a bit too liberally, like when you write 'the nations of the world' to translate the hebrew word 'gwy'. This is the word the Gentiles see as meaning 'goy' in the sense of 'cattle'. One should find out when in the Talmud this word first entered into usage, because it could well be the hebrew rendering of the khazar-cuman word 'qoy' which (as I have proved) indeed means 'sheep', in the sense of 'cattle' (hence 'animals in human form' as is sometimes rendered). It could also be that the Ashkenazi Jews (being, as we can prove, direct descendents of the judaised Khazars and other turkik tribes) made a pun out of the words 'qwy' (hebrew) and 'qoy' (turkik).
Jews love to make puns and especially about their own surnames and with languages. For example I recently learned where the name Freedman comes from, apparently. Take the original surname Katzman (a germanization of the yiddish/khazar name Katzev, meaning 'butcher') and pretend the 'Katz' bit is for 'Katze' ('cat' in English, 'chat' in French) when in fact it's for 'ox' ('kz' in khazar/cuman language). Then frenchize it to ... 'Chat-l'homme' or 'Chalom' or (back to Hebrew) 'Shalom': you land with the germanised-english version, Friedman, Freedman. Amazing, yes? So a butcher becomes a man of peace ...
Please keep up the challenge PJZ, have you read the latest comments in the Khazar symbol's blog?
They have been an interesting people.
http://www.opentrade.org.uk/usury2.htm
"Take not usury nor more than thou gavest. Fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury nor exact of him any increase of fruits."
"Thou shalt not lend upon usury ... usury of money, usury of victuals or usury of anything that is lent upon usury.
'And if a man hath not lent upon usury nor taken increase he is just."
This does not mean to say that no transactions involving usury took place. They did. Very early on the ancient Jews had claimed a scriptural licence to practice usury and the conditions under which they claimed to be allowed to do so give us a profound insight into the real nature of the usurious transaction. Deuteronomy Chapter 23 verse 20 states: "Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury, but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury." The word "stranger" in this text is generally interpreted as "enemy" and armed with this text, the Jews used usury as a weapon, finding in it a means of gaining power over their enemies. By means of usury, other people's need could be transformed into their subjection.
From ghettos in the larger cities of Christendom, Jewish money-lending activities were carried on throughout the "Dark" and "Middle Ages". They were allowed to continue under strict scrutiny and were tolerated by the authorities only for as long as they were seen to provide a useful service. Even in this oppressive situation it was possible for the moneylender to gain enormous wealth by the practice of usury – Simon of Norwich, for example. At one stage in 13th century England nearly half of the country's tax revenue was collected from the Jewish community who represented less than 5% of the population – but they were never able to turn their wealth into power, being subject to frequent and terrible popular purges, which in this country, resulted eventually min their expulsion from the country in the 14th century not to return for 350 years.
These three Old Testament quotes from Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Ezekiel respectively, and they are representative of several more, show that the prohibition of usury goes right to the legal and ethical roots of European civilisation. The prohibition was confirmed and even strengthened by the early Christians. St. Augustine for instance, who defined usury as occurring when a person expects to receive anything more than he has given, held usury to be so forbidden that any profits gained by it could not even be given away as charity. St. Thomas Aquinas was still continuing this position with clarity and vigour in the 14th century.
Benjamin Freedman's (an Ashkenazi Jew who converted to Catholicism) "Facts are Facts" can also be found online. There you'll find not only a bit of Khazar history and a map of the jewish world around 1.000 CE according to prezionist-jewish scholars, but also many offensive quotations from the Talmud.
As for Micheal Hoffman's "Judaism's Strange Gods" you must wait a bit.
Of course I know about the Jerusalem (palestinian) and the Baghdad ('babilonian') Talmud, the latter having been 'finished' around 500 CE and forming the basis of the Khazars' conversion to Judaism (which came in waves, one of which must have regarded the conversion of the Crimean Khazars to Karaism). However, the judaised Khazars continued to add bits of their own to the Talmud, you yourself quoted parts written by ashkenazic Shlomo Luria (this surname has now become Louie in the US), and that's why it now totals 64 volumes. It is not obvious to me that the offensive parts were written pre-500 CE, although there was intensive animosity between byzantinian (greek) Christians and semitic Jews all the way till the Arabs and then the Turks (eh, eh, he ...) came and replaced - literally - the Byzantinians.
When I say the Popes ordered the public burning of the talmudic books, I mean that whatever the language they were written (probably in lithurgic Hebrew, in medieval Italy) the Church Authorities knew about their offensive - for Christians - content. Otherwise why order, routinely, the burning? Just to fan animosity? There were already enough incidents. For example, A.Toaff in 'Pasque di Sangue' tells us that some Jews used to crucify milking lambs (doesn't say whether dead or alive) at Easter just to spite the hated Christians ... Disgusting. But in retaliation these Jews were arrested, persecuted etc. by the Holy Office.
Goy is a Hebrew word meaning Nation.
Hold it right there! Gwy is the word you mean, and indeed was used in the Old Testament already. But why would 'gwy' become 'goy', just because the 'w' is mute? Then who is there to confirm that the ancient vocalization was with an 'o'? If your gwy referred also to Israel in the OT, then I fail to see how this word could have become the derogative 'goy'. It seems much more natural that the khazar/cuman word 'qoy' (indeed so vocalised and meaning 'sheep', 'cattle', because for the nomadic Khazars sheep was their cattle and not the not-so-mobile oxen) did become the yiddish 'goy' and interpreted, in the later editions and additions to the Talmud, derogatively as 'animals in the form of humans'. Not? In other words, I'm saying that the judaised Khazars writing additions to the Talmud (Luria etc.) interchanged the words 'gwy' and 'qoy' (become 'goy'). Puns.
Let me call off for today ....
PJZ must have been nodding like a bobblrhead on a bad dirt road trying to keep up with all the lies he told in his so called "Refutations". They variously start with the following sentences:
"There is no such book in the Talmud. ...
Simeon Hadderson is not a book of the Talmud....
Midrash Talpioth is not a part of the Talmud....
Did you even read what I wrote? 3/4 of those "quotes" do not even exist in the Talmud...."
SO WHAT IS IT PJZ _ IS THERE A OR IS THERE NOT SUCH A THING AS THE TALMUD?
It was earlier in his diatribe that we find the source of his anxiety:
"In fact, the Talmud states that one should KILL ONESELF rather than lying about the Torah or Talmud."
Don't do it PJZ! There is a concept in every decent religion called "forgiveness". You could learn to forgive yourself and actually become a real human being instead of an elitist, racist monster.
In the mean time, here are some more quotes for you to fret over. Call the yeshiva boys and get the proper elusive response!
"As soon as the King Messiah will declare himself, He will destroy Rome and make a wilderness of it. Thorns and weeds will grow in the Pope's palace. Then He will start a merciless war on non-Jews and will overpower them. He will slay them in masses, kill their kings and lay waste the whole Roman land. He will say to the Jews: 'I am the King Messiah for whom you have been waiting. Take the silver and gold from the non-Jew.' "
-Josiah 60, 6. Rabbi Abarbanel to Daniel 7, 13
"A Gentile girl who is three years old can be sexually violated."
-Qboda Sarah 37a
"A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."

-Hadarine, 20, B; Schulchan Qruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348
"A Jew may misuse the non-Jew female in her state of unbelief."
-Moses Maimonides (“The RaMBaM”), Jak. Chasaka 2:2
"If a non-Jew kills a non-Jew or a Jew he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a non-Jew he is NOT responsible."

"It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
-Schulchan Qruch, Choszen Hamiszpat
"Thou shalt not do injury to thy neighbor, but it is not said, 'Thou shalt not do injury to a non-Jew.' "
-Mishna Sanhedryn 57
"When you go to war do not go as the first, but as the last, so that you may return as the first. Five things has Canaan recommended to his sons: 'Love each other, love wantonness, love robbery, hate your masters and never tell the truth.'
-Pesachis F. 113B
