You live in a horrendously exploitative apartheid society where Jew cannot marry non-Jew.

Despite our many flaws Jews continue to immigrate to Israel 

It may not suit the poster who is suffering real time angst but this is the Jewish Homeland for better or worse

Amazing to think this is the 2nd time in History the Jews have returned home to their Land and their Capital Jerusalem

There is something gravely abnormal about claiming that Jews favour a nation which is being branded (with little reputable counter-argument) as unpleasant and law-breaking and apparently dishonest (eg claiming the Gaon for Zionism).

The only explanation is that you want Jews to be hated.

Israel is having for the last 4 or 5 years the greatest tourist boom in it's history with peoples of all faith coming to enjoy this land

Yes they can.

But different Jewish people have differing opinions about it.

If you are divorced, you cannot get married again in a Catholic Church.

Many Christian priests refuse to marry same sex couples, regardless of the laws in their country.

ISIS brides have no say in who they are married off to.  They are bought and sold like livestock.

They also still have child brides.

You are correct Jews see Israel and its actions differently all over the World each national group has its own ideas on what is right and or wrong

Why are you defending a nation that, after (as state policy "Break their Bones" Rabin) 30 years of torturing children, has now moved on to torturing women?

Especially when I've taught you something - and you're ind denial of it. Jews who wish to marry non-Jews have to do it in Cyprus, putting a permanent cloud over their marital and other rights.

Why are you defending a fundamentalist state? Its not unique in the world - but its unique for getting worse when all others are getting better.

Why are you comparing Israel with nasty religious fundamentalism? (Which, however, is rapidly disappearing everywhere else).

The US marries off 10 year olds - even as it has harsh laws about "consent". (No reason to think Israel doesn't do the same - there are certainly big problems there that no outsiders - even no state - can investigate).

Why are you demanding different standards from traumatised and destitute people in the desert from those operated in the US?

I think these are questions that you should answer - otherwise, you look as if you're defending religious and national despotism.

Dual standards, eh?

Isn't that part of the definition of antisemitism?

Tell us about the disgusting people who condone the kidnap and torture of children.

Islamic states which include states which involve Shariah Law will not sanction inter faith marriages , for people of faith it is easy to grasp for those who do not wish to understand then that is their privilege 

There can be nothing fundamentalist about a state which allows bacon sarnies or booze or pornography etc 

The fool as you can see is in full stupid mode
