Something about Jews and bombs?

Bombing the Jews? Please, we are all grown up. Everyone knows that sentence is changed in bombing the Palestinians.

No, really. That's a fact.
I don't like it (bombing the Jews and / or Palestinians).

I wouldn't compare the two terms "Jews" and "Palestinians". The term Jew comes with both ethnic and religious connotations, while the term Palestinian is primarily ethnic. You can be a Christian or Muslim Palestinian, but you can't be a Muslim Jew.

Quite right... almost. See below:

Well no I would disagree that Jew = Religion + Ethnicity as you seem to imply, for obvious reasons.

As the Jews form the largest ethnicity and religion (76%) of Isreal, I can compare them with Palestinians.

Then a reasonable question has to be why you're saying "Jew" instead of "Israeli". You are not calling the Palestinians "Muslims".

Not if Hamas gets to have a say in the matter. "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people" as the saying goes.

Who the hell split this topic? We haven't even mentioned the Nazis yet!

Because what I read, was 'bombing the Jews'. Something I reject, of course.

I don't call them muslims, because that isn't an ethnic group (except, maybe, if you meant the Muslims in Yugoslavia).

I split the topic. My court wasn't the place for this.
