Can't really argue with much here. Those who call themselves Jews/Israel are not, as Paul says. They rejected the Messiah! And yes, the talmud depicts Jesus in a terrible way and explicitly commands its followers to treat the goyim in a way that is just awful.
Where things get messy is that most people on here just toss around "the Jews" as if there is some monolith. Everything you have said could correctly be attributed to "talmudites" but do you really think (say) Neil Diamond is part of this, or whatever random person whose mother happens to be of jewish ancestry?
Even in the "worst case" scenario that all these poal keybord warriors (and owners) assume, we are to love our enemies. If they are our enemies, we are to love them. Pray for those who hurt us.
Yes, they are all in it together whether they are ardent believers or not. That’s why they’re still here after thousands of years, expulsions and pogroms. They stick together.
They were chosen by God and we were not. This, in fact, makes them more important than everyone else on Earth and separates them from us. It is the premise of their being - (this is what they believe - I don’t).
and just for the record - “I’m a believer” was written by Neil Diamond
