Hi! Rick van Opbergen

I never said that they would censor news because of their religious beliefs.
I said that they would do it because they did not want to shame Israel's place in the world.
And they did it because they were Jewish.
It was not an act of faith, but an act of censorship.

Calm



Hey! Reverend Blair

I think Blacks have an innate sense of music.
What do you think?

But how do we know it has something to do with their Jewish identity and not with for example a possible conservative background? Is their Jewish background the only explanation for their behavior?

And does that explain fundamentalist Christians who support Israel?

I think everybody has an innate sense of music, but a cultural shift in North America and Europe pushed "black" music to a fairly prominent roll in our culture.

Every culture on earth has music though.

But how do you know they did it because they were Jewish? I agree that a lot of Jews, whether they are in the US or in Europe or in any place else, have a bias towards Israel, something which is explainable. But is their Jewishness a sole explanation for their way of acting? Can we as easily conclude that their Jewish background is the cause of this, and not their conservative attitude? I do not want to deny the possible explanation that their Jewish background is a cause for their acting, but could there not be other explanations as well?
