Based off of polling & the words of the liberal opposition party leader I’d say most Jews in Israel are extremist when compared to Jews here domestically but those in the West Bank & East Jerusalem act on those extremist beliefs

And it's not. Which is why "Jewish Extremism" is not a problem, especially not compared to other religious extremism. If the only example is a territorial conflict in the West Bank and not in America where 50% of world Jewry is, then it's isolated incidents. Compare that to Islamism and its global repercussions

Dude any form of extremism is bad. It’s not a competition or a quantifiable level of acceptance. While I don’t think the intentions of ops pole is altruistic, there is no need to deflect to other issues. I love being Israeli, I believe in the state of Israel. Without it my family would be dead. I also believe actions can be taken to curb violence In the West Bank.

No one asked if it was bad. It was asked if it’s a problem. Just because something occurs does not mean it’s a widespread “problem.” Settler violence is an Israeli problem, not a “Jewish Extremism” problem

Nothing about settler violence stems from Judaism. It’s a territorial dispute. They don’t claim any part of Judaism tells them to commit violence to achieve their goal. There is a back and forth between both sides because of land and land rights. That is not “Jewish Extremism.” It’s no different than gang violence in California fighting over turf, that’s not a “Black Extremism” problem

I don’t disagree with you. I don’t like the way op framed the question. I still think it was kinda shitty the way you deflected to another issue, especially with this channel overrun boy gentiles itching to post screenshots on us pol. No I don’t think there is a Jewish extremism problem but there are extremists in the Jewish community (however few) and outsiders perceive it as a Jewish extremism problem. I voted no on the pole, I still think it’s an issue to address and condemn.

I agree with you for the most part although a lot of settlers do claim that Judaism gives them the right to take the land by any means necessary despite international law saying it’s literally illegal. But just because they claim Judaism gives them that right doesn't mean it does & it doesn't mean most Jews agree as we all know. It's like isis claims Islam despite most Muslims rejecting them. The settlers are no different in my personal opinion.

ISIS uses the Quran as a source for what they do. Settlers use the Torah as a source for why they do. There’s a huge difference. Settlers cite the Torah as proof the land belongs to them, they don’t claim the Torah allows them to kill for it. ISIS cites the Quran for why they’re supposed to kill to achieve their goal.

Regardless, the violence is not one sided. One side has the government of Israel behind them (even if a small minority of it) so maybe there’s a power imbalance. But it’s still just a turf war

I would say it’s one sided & not a simple turf war since one side has the full support of the government. That side also happens to be breaking international law. The only way you can claim it’s not one sided is if you ignore international law. Also I don’t really see the difference as for as my isis comparison goes since both are a minority that claim that region gives them the right to carry out their actions despite the vast majority of of the same faith rejecting their actions.

I mean they use religion to justify it. Yeah, you could argue we shouldn’t call them “religious extremists” because their religious interpretations are nuts and not well founded, but that could be said for most other religious extremists too

But they don’t. They don’t use religion to justify their violence, they use religion to justify their rightful ownership of the land. It’s apples and oranges to extremist groups that literally claim their holy book commands them to kill the infidels

Some do them absolutely do use religion to justify their violence And idk why you’re using the term “infidel” when that’s an archaic term that a lot of people don’t really know the meaning of anymore. The only reason we see any of these people use the term is that English is not their main language and they are out of touch with how the language has shifted
