Jordanians effectively bans Jewish religion...who is the apartheid state now?

Question

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1218446197326&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Jordanians (Jordanestians) refuse to let Jews with religious items in the country, citing "security concerns" yet Christians and Muslims are permitted to travel and pray freely.

Half a second....don't I remember something else from history involving the Jordanians....oh yes.......

1948- As the Jordanians occupied the City of Jerusalem, they herded all the Old Jews that did not leave into the Old Hurva Synagogue and blew it up. Jewish homes and property are confiscated and the occupants forced out, those that protest are shot in the streets.

1948-1967- Under defiance of UN international law, Jordan bars all Jews from visiting THEIR Holy City.

Also from 1948-1967- the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives was desecrated by having 85,000 of roughly 145,000 gravestones broken, upturned, or painted on. The headstones of famous Rabbis and historical figures were used to pave Jordanian army latrines.

Now, who is the crazed apartheid state? Israel or Jordanestine?

Answer 1

Please save it!

Answer 2

You aren't doing Israel any good by comparing it to Jordan.The rest of the world sees the back and forth accusations between Jews and Arabs and gets tired of both groups.For you guys in the Middle East to hate each other and want to kill each other is bad enough.But you are dragging the whole world into your squabble.You had better come to your senses before the rest of the world decides to step in and settle the mess for you.The nations of the world through the UN decided to create Israel.The nations of the world through the UN can decide Israel's existence is too great a threat to world peace and eradicate Israel fairly quickly by denying your status as a nation and deporting all the Jews back to Europe,America,or wherever else they originated.Is that what you want?

Answer 3

Israel. Since they kill innocent people daily amounting to millions of deaths.

Also i see your an American people not a very good way of typing.I see your not a native.

So what that Jewish people cant go to Jordan. Do you know what the US does to Cuba? These are called sanctions and embargoes you don't like it go live in a nation without them if you could find one.

So what that Jordanians feel this way everyone is entitled to feel how they want.

I bet if you asked yourself what religion is the most violent you will find yourself saying Islamic people are very violent. I can tell because you are making this question.

If these Israeli leaders were smart they would see that this is senseless fighting and they should just give them a nation.Instead they are fighting for a area that appears to have few of there people

Answer 4

What is wrong with you Ultra?

" it was a safety measure to avoid potential terror threats."

Everybody knows Jews hide bombs in their little Teffilin boxes and blow them up on buses.

hahahaha oh wait no...that's not the Jews, I guess they aren't very informed in Jordan these days are they?

Welcome back! :)

Answer 5

Get over yourself...you're a wanna be Israeli...but you don't have the guts or the money to move there....cheer up Ultra...continue fighting from your bedroom...nonsense.

Answer 6

Jordan

Answer 7

Ultra N ?

Welcome back

I thought you died or jailed. Good you are still alive. Welcome back to the club for people with special needs.

I tried to find some question in your posting to give an answer to but I failed.

Tourists carrying religious symbols and wondering in the streets of some foreign country is totally  insane  and seriously dangerous. Jordanians are right. They did it for the safety of the tourists.

Israel and Judaism have a very bad reputation regarding being brutal and violent.

I personally tried to find a single page in the Torah that does not include the words "killing, smiting, slaving, plaguing...etc..." and I failed.

Do you think it is something wrong with my copy?

Answer 8

The thing is all those countries claim to be wanting peace but they just aren't going to let it happen and I'm not blaming the people before anyone starts.

When we went to Israel we went to the Dead Sea and we got told you're not allowed to swim past the buoys cos you would get shot at if you swam too far out by either the Jordanians or the Israelites.

I don't get why the 3 monotheistic religions can't just get along... I mean do we all not share some of the same teachings!! I mean look at the Christian bible the whole of the old testament is Jewish Scripture.

I'm not too sure about the Koran because I've never read it.

The only way everyone will be in peace is to stop the extremists and just let everyone believe what they want to believe.

Otherwise we'll all just end up in another World War where people are viciously and brutally murdered just because they have different beliefs from the majority but the sad thing is that's happening everywhere now or it's starting to happen. I remember the July 7th bombings and I remember hearing a few days later how some youths had fire bombed a mosque for revenge.

Anyway the point I'm trying to make is this: You can say you want to change the World but to make it a better place you need every ones help and the sooner every one decides this fighting has gone on for long enough and we can have peace the better!!

Answer 9

It is a shame that Muslims hate Jews so much that the Jordanian authorities things it is rational to take such measures.  It is very discriminatory.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 10

I believe the name of the country is Jordan not "jordenstine". Israel has done just as many horrible things to the Palestinians. So why don't you chill out because you rant is doing nothing to help any of thier situations.

Answer 11

Why don't you come to Egypt , if you really care about judaism !

Our country doesn't deny anyone from practicing any religion of the three: Islam, christianity, and Judaism.Not as the zionist authority which denies the food and electricity.

Egyptian jews are shamed to come back to Egypt, why ?

Answer 12

At least the Jordans do not burn each and every copy of our Holy Book.

The Bible!

I don't think that you are an American.

The American people are nice and fair too!

They always support the suffering and the oppressed nations.

Myself, I do not like Fascists. No I don't!

bye bye

Answer 13

Do you know Israel was created by terrorism? If not then read  Balfour declaration. It is just that the so called muslims are bit lay ed back hence now you can pretend to be inclusive but not to those who are in Jerusalem if you are christian whose family is living there and you happen to get dual nationality then all your family members are forcibly removed from Jerusalem while if you are a jew you can have as many different nationalities as you want. So what are you trying to say?Look close to home first your type of people are responsible to unease in middle east. Who choose bits and bobs and give inaccurate information. All the countries you have mentioned are all majority population of same religion

Answer 14

King Abdullh's wife is Palestinian, so the heir to the Jordanian Throne is half Palestinian. That would make him King of the Palestinians, or at least the Half-king of the Palestinians. Don't knock it--half a king is better than no king of the Palestinians, and besides--they could claim Jordan as Palestine, which is what it had been intended to be!

Answer 15

i don't mean to offend you and please forgive me if i do..

but

must you put the blame on another nation? what have you achieved by this comparison?

can you not hold a point in this debate by a valid proven contradiction or logic?

this is not a way to conduct a debate! that's just getting yourself dragged to a fistfight that can never end.

Answer 16

I hear I'm not allowed to hand carry my bible into Dubai too.

What about Israel?  will I be shuffled to a back room and called a proselyte?

Answer 17

Why Jordan of course!

But I seriously agree with you, you will get flamed by angry people who have issues with the truth but you rock eitherway.

Very nice points.

Answer 18

Well between Israel and Jordan it is obviously Jordan.  They have some massive extremist issues so I cut them some slack in that regard and can't say the gov't endorses it but just "succombs" to their extremist population.  I am still mournful over the Churva Synagogue as it was a beautiful architectural historical structure and didn't need to be purposely destroyed.  Not only was our beautiful Synagogue destroyed, but all Jews were prevented from visiting our Holiest Site and it was used as a trash bin.

The #1 country I give credit to right now is Turkey for battling the Islamic extremism.  #1 country I disdain is Iran for rounding up its young women and throwing them in the back of police cars until they agree to don a burka.  They also murder citizens regularly for their extremist Islamic beliefs so it is apartheid of different sort being religious fanatics with all power and the secular or less observant being powerless while everything is blamed on the Jews and Bahai.

Israel I always hold high regard for under excruciating odds in a place where East meets West, the clash of civilizations where everyone looks at Israel actions under a microscope and one "faux pas" is considered a capital offense, I have the highest regard because I know Israel's heart is in the right place, always.

Israel is hardly an apartheid state, not secularly as everyone is voting and participating in gov't with control over their own religious institutions and not religiously apartheid either because Israel's Holiest Site is open to all and has been dedicated as a "House for all Nations."

there is no way to consider apartheid a religion that does not condemn other religions to purgatory but is in actuality very inclusive of other people and thier beliefs, and who's Holiest Site is dedicated for all.  People just don't understand if they think otherwise about Israel and Judaism.
