So by that logic, I can use this icon now, right?
I feel a cultural, religious and spiritual connection to it.
It may have been yours, but you were actually mistaken.
What you thought was yours was actually the historical property of others.
I love my new icon.

Read the article.
Am I in favour of all settlements? No.
I have been consistent in my opinion that Israel has every right to call a unified Jerusalem, the most sacred city of Judaism, its capital.

Almost, darling.
The only reason any Muslim country cares about Jerusalem is because the Jews cared about it first.
I was raised as a cultural Christian. Jerusalem is sacred to my culture also. But I can acknowledge the importance of that city to the Jewish faith.
Remember, of course... Palestine was never a state. It has never had the legal rights of statehood. Settlements aren't technically illegal. Just because the anti-Semitic UN says they are so, doesn't mean it to be true. Evidently it's just yet another example of the 14M world Jews standing against BILLIONS of anti-Semites, led by the Obama administration and its team of Islamic countries who want to see Israel destroyed.
By all, means, however, feel welcome to my avi.

Clearly you didn't read what was said. Ben Shapiro is a Jewish American from California who has written both in favour and in criticism of the Israeli government. But he is consistent in his opinion that the Obama administration is Jew-hating.
Also, if you think the US should cut ties with Israel, you would pretty much be advocating the destruction of the only free democracy in the US and the only Jewish state in the world. How anti-Semitic

being vocally against the increasingly right wing israeli government and the policies that are hurting innocent people and making a two state solution impossible is not jew-hating or anti semitism. conflating those two is not only factually incorrect, but it makes it sound like american jews who don't support netanyahu (and there are many) are anti semites. but then again, i'm sure you know that.

So all of the world is anti-semitic, even Jews themselves who don't support Zionism/genocide, and only Zionist Jews are the only people not anti-semitic?........ I mean...... that's........an opinion.

Not necessarily. The UN has been acceptedly anti-Semitic for years. You just had to look at the fact that more resolutions have been made against Israel than against Syria and North Korea combined in the past year.
Thankfully, Theresa May appears to be one of the most pro-Israel PMs we have had in years  Hopefully with a Trump presidency, they won't bow to the sort of pressure to make the sort of anti-Israel resolutions that the Obama administration forces through.

Hopefully Trump stands by his promise to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, the holiest city in Judaism and the ancestral and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people since the 10th century BC

Everywhere in white is anti-semitic.
If you're Jewish & in the white, you're also anti-semitic.
You have to live in the red to not be anti-semitic.

Babe, don't even bother. Trying to have a reasonable discussion with the kid is like bashing your head against a brick wall.

Is that so? How uneducated of you.
This is a map of the Kingdom of Israel around 11th century BC.
In actual fact, it is Palestine which has never been an official state. In fact, before Israel/Palestine were created the land belonged to the British Empire. You tried, though.

Good on Kerry for having common sense and letting these loonies know that EVERYTHING can't go their way.

You must be horribly wrong. Darren was studying at Cambridge. I am sure he will correct you here, just like the rest of the world.
