The Jewish people, from its inception, has been unique by its identity as a religious entity. Through the centuries its religious character had been a premise agreed upon by Jews and non-Jews alike. Our faith demands as the fundamental condition for recognition as a Jew, belief and adherence to the word of G-d, as was revealed to our forefathers on Mount Sinai. This is in itself, according to the tenets of the Jewish religion, sufficient to fulfill the definition of a Jew. Our religious and traditional history bears no aspect of racism. Hence, one of non-Jewish origin is capable of being proselytized and attaining the same status as a born Jew. Conversely, one of Jewish birth who does not recognize his being bound to the Jewish Torah, is by Jewish law a heretic, and therefore forfeits his spiritual birthrights as a Jew. The purpose of the Jew is to bear witness to the existence of G-d, through his adherence to the Torah. The Al-mighty granted the Jews the land of Israel as the particular setting which would serve as the most conducive atmosphere to their performance of their duties to G-d. The Jews in ancient times were banished from the land of Israel because they had failed to fulfill their obligations to the Al-mighty. Every Jew acknowledges this in his prayers (Umipnei Chatoeinu Golinu Meiartzeinu). They accepted the penalty of exile and were at that time expressed sworn by the Al-mighty not to accelerate their redemption on their own, and especially not to rebel against the nations under whose rule they were found. To the contrary, every Jew is commanded to pray for the peace and well being of the government of which he is the subject. Through all the years of exile, pious Jews as individuals were attracted to reside in the Holy Land because of its innate holy character and the opportunity it offered for the observance of various precepts bound in the land. Jews as a whole continue to pray that the Al-mighty return his Divine presence to the Land of Israel, by the coming of the Messiah, who will build His Temple, from whence will emanate Divine Wisdom and ultimate spiritual fulfillment of the entire human race. Through the many years that Jews resided in the Holy Land for this purpose, they enjoyed tranquil and cordial relations with the non-Jewish population there. The Zionist movement which was formed at the latter part of the last century, sought to endow the Jews with a nationalistic character which was heretofore strange to them. It sought to deprive them of their historically religious character and offered in substitution of faith in G-d and adherence to the Torah...

Sieg Heil! But whatcha' ya' gonna' run your ovens on since Dear Leader won't let us drill or pipeline fossil fuel? Does he think his Solyndra solar cells are up to the task? Or maybe he's counting on his jihaddi friends in the Middle East to donate the fuel since it's dirty Jooz you folks are fixin' to cook up?
No one here is anti-Semitic, or supports genocide. Not that the facts ever had any value for you.
Ri-i-i-i-ght, they just want to see the the Hezzbos, Hamas, the Muslim Bro'hood, the Palis, & any other miscellaneous Muslims that want to join in run them dürty Jooz into the Med to wish 'em a happy Hanukkah.
Exactly ... we are here to promote all Jews walking around Mecca during the Hajj, in a counter clockwise direction; how did you catch us with your brilliant analysis?
You don't have to be an Einstein to figure that out, your comments have provided more than one clue.

Astounding! Well, I think all Jews should walk seven times counter-clockwise around the Kaaba reciting Abraham. After all, Jews have a similar tradition called lighting the Hanukkah menorah, one candle at a time.
