I could understand why someone would question the holocaust myself, especially if they don't know anyone that has been in camps or lived during that time. But I don't the figures are that surprising, seeing as so many nations suffered huge losses ( like Russia i.e. 20 million, thats just staggering ) and even IMO the holocaust included the also, very large amount of gypsies, homosexuals, mentally disabled, were also killed in millions in camps etc.

I don't think its Anti-Semitism, question what you will, thats something we have to do with every historical/tragic event. There are even jews that deny the holocaust, but they support Judaism etc. But I have bias towards them in a negative way, so thats just my opinion.

Well of course I account the homosexuals, gypsies, metally ill, exc. into accounts. The figures generally say 12 million and half of that were Jews. I think the reason why it gets denied so much is because people dont realize how many Jews there actually were in Europe before the war. Most people havent even been exposed to the huge number of Jewish towns that simply got wiped out. I mean of course there will be Jews that deny the Holocaust. Being Jewish is like a culture. No matter what you believe about anything; you will always be Jewish if your mother is. I dont practise the Jewish faith but my mother is Jewish so that makes me Jewish. I just think people need to be aware and educated on the Holocaust or else something like this can happen again. I dont even mean to the Jews but to any race, religion, exc. Its been a long time since WWII and there is still such little tolerance in the world.

so here comes my next question?if i deny the holocaust, will i become an anti-semite?i dont want that label because i DO DENY the holocaust. well not all of it, but some DID die, just not as much as we were told. far fa far and much much much less than we were told.

how about when the people deny the Armenian Genocice/Holocaut, shouldnt they be called anti-armenian or whatever race they are called?

I think that's a highly ignorant statement. My grandparents are survivors of the Holocaust and all of their families perished within it. I have a photo of my grandmother weighing 56 pounds when it was over. I think you must believe everything you are told because of what you just stated..I don't see how someone could deny it any other way.

Ellie, just like what Eternal Flames said. i dont Deny the fact that the Nazi's killed alot of Jews, and it is important not to forget the week, old, sick, deformed, other minorities/groups that were part of the killings. I do DENY what is said in numbers. but in all cases, it did happen, if that pleases you, just not to the extent we where taught in schools. as for believeing everything i read, well sorry. i dont need to go there, otherwise i would believe we landed on the moon and other false "FACTS" we are always told to beleive.

like you said lets not derail the thread into this, but lets just say it is simple reasoning which was confirmed more recently when Bush stated they will be able to land on the moon in the next 10 years while back then (69) it took them only a few years. hmm ... lets discuss this in the thread dedicated to it if needed. as for the others. YES and YES to an extent

like I said before

I saw some poeple that said that not too many people died at the holocaust, first I suspect it but I askes mine hystory teacher about it and she explain that-
- the nazis had destroy lot of the documents.
- and the nazis had killed entire community of jewish that had'nt written any one separately and still they are founding.

Written by Eternal Flames on 12.11.2007 at 15:17

The idea of them being the "chosen people" can be seen in other religions as well.

Here is just a little something to think about.

I look at Israel (not referring to the country, but the people) and what the Bible predicted.

Just 10 ....many more than 10

1. Genesis 28:10-15 - Jacob had a vision 4000 years ago that the Jews would be scattered worldwide, that they would have a worldwide impact, and that they would be brought back to Israel. All three happened - each to an extreme unmatched by any other people in history.

2. Jeremiah 30:11 - Jeremiah said 2600 years ago that God will save the Jews and destroy their enemies. Gone are the Assyrian, Babylonian, Roman and Nazi empires. Each tried to destroy Israel and the Jews. And each have been destroyed. But not the Jews and not Israel.

3. Genesis 12:2-3 - Genesis said the Jews would have a worldwide impact. And indeed their contributions in the sciences, politics, arts and economics are vastly disproportionate to their numbers. The Jews introduced the one-true God concept, now embraced by 3 billion people.

4. Micah 3:11-12 - The prophet Micah said 2700 years ago that Jerusalem would be destroyed and literally "plowed like a field." When the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 135 AD, they ran a plow over Jerusalem, they literally plowed Jerusalem.

5. Deuteronomy 28:64 - Deuteronomy said 3400 years ago that Jews would be scattered worldwide. History has but one example of a people being forcibly scattered as far west as California, as far east as Japan, as far north as Scandinavia, as far south as South Africa: The Jews.

6. Leviticus 26:31-32 - Leviticus said 3400 years ago that the Jewish homeland would be inhabited by enemies. And what other nation in this world today has so deeply rooted within its boundaries a sworn enemy that has so openly sought to destroy its host?

7. Zechariah 8:13 - Zechariah said 2500 years ago that Jews would be persecuted, but preserved. What other group has endured 19 centuries of exile, persecution and genocide, only to find the strength to re-establish their homeland, as did the Jews in 1948? Zero.

8. Deuteronomy 28:65-67 - Deuteronomy said the Jews would be persecuted in many nations. The Romans killed 1.5 million Jews. The Crusaders killed tens of thousands. England, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium banned Jews from living there. The Nazi's murdered 6 million.

9. Jeremiah 16:14-15 - Jeremiah said the second Israel would be more impressive than the first. The first Israel arose 3400 years ago after Jews had been enslaved in Egypt for 4 centuries. The second was born in 1948 after Jews had been scattered worldwide for 19 centuries.

10. Leviticus 26:3, 7-8 - Leviticus said the Jews would be disproportionately powerful. In 1948, Arab nations with a total population of 20 million sought to destroy Israel with its 600,000 Jews. The Jews won that and other wars since then. In 1967, Israel won a war in 6 days.

I don't get it. Why do zionist zealots come here to Israel in the thousands when they probably have a better life in their original country? Persecution happens to every minority. And so what if the bible or torah says this or that about what happenned so far? Its all incredibly vague anyways. I personally don't like how homosexuals and pagans are portrayed in most religious sects of Judaism, and Kosher laws are the most contradicting thing in this country. All this chosen people crap gives religious idiots another reason to be intolerant of other people that reside in this land. It seems that most people just want a reason to live life on the edge and try something meaningful and spiritual yada yada by taking a liking into all this romanticism revolving aroud the 'lost tribes of Israel'. yes, you can find 'traces' of judaism in places as far as afghanistan or china, but they are almost completely integrated into the local culture that it would seem strange to call them Jewish.

But I have respect for the common belief in Judaism to where you are not supposed to impose your views and/or try to change someone elses opinion. Too bad some people don't get that ( intolerant zealots ). By the way, alot of the common belief in Orthodox or Khasidic Judaism is that non-jews have no soul, they are just animals in a sense. I have a friend who is a orthodox and he thinks just like this, no wait, actually quite a few of them do. Modern Orthodox Jews are pretty cool too, they support the state, they join the army, pay taxes like seculars, but follow their own beliefs. Unlike alot of the orthodox populas.

True man, I realize Im going on, but I understand the blokes from Ethiopia, Sudan, Persia, or some obscure muslim country coming here on their own accord because they seek refuge as jews. But they are even mistreated by other Ashkenazzi ( european jews ) and looked down upon by other jews. But seriously, people need to get their act together, this victim attitude is isolationist and not healthy.

That's understandable and is definitely believable from a religious standpoint. The Torah also had its prophecies, predicting that in order for the Jewish to return to their Promised Land they would "return, minus six million". Of course, for anyone who is religious, such prophecies are not hard to believe since six million perished in the holocaust and it supports the Torah's predictions. For atheists however, such prophecies would merely be seen as ironic or a coincidence.

I do respect Jewish views and values though. As Sunioj said, their belief that they are not supposed to try convert anyone to Judaism is respectful in my opinion. I don't denounce any religion in any way, although it's just not something that I have faith in.

Jews are strange people, that's what I can deduce from my relationship with them. In university I had met a lot of them but it had been impossible to create any kind of relationship, they're just too enclosed, they just see each other discriminating the rest, and when they talk they usually do it from a position or "moral superiority" that works on my nerves. That self-exclusion is annoying for me.

hey that definitely not all the jews

I'm certainly not trying to generalize, and want to make clear that my experience was just at this moment in this place with a few people. But it is weird, most of the jews I had met aren't even religious, but they're always firstly jews and secondly chileans, even if they're the third generation living in this country.

I like Dane Train's examination of bible verses vs. the real world happenings. Very interesting parallels. And if the book of Job is any indication of the way god really does test faith, then yes, Jews are definitely the chosen people (Job was tortured by Satan with the permission of God in the book of Job to test his faith in the Lord) It seems the Judeo-Christian god tests faith through suffering. He better be nice to the Jews when they get to heaven. But I guess by the same reasoning, all of us other religions (Asatru myself) are going to have to go to Hell for being the vessel of satan that persecuted the Jews all these years.

As for the Holocaust, it did happen, but there were far more people lost from other minorities (Gypsies, Homosexuals, et al)killed than Jews, and while the holocaust of WWII and those that came after (Armenia, Dar Fur) was terrible and I hope they stop happening, it should be acknowledged that typically, Jews are the heads of mainstream media outlets. Perhaps they are smarter, or harder working to get there, but there IS some distortion of fact. Biases simply can't be left at the door, after all.

<disclaimer>My thoughts in no way support the WWII era National Socialism known as Nazism, and in fact I enjoy the company of many of my Jewish classmates at university. Please take whatever I say with an open mind.</disclaimer>

is judaism about killing messiases?

It happens. Someone of our church went to Israel and he had contact with a pastor there and they received a package from orthodox Jews with a bomb in it. Many messianic Jews have trouble with this, as they are seen as betrayers and such. But the Jewish people (as the chosen people) are chosen with a reason, to bless the world. The way that they live now often does not bless the world really, but it is very understandeble that they act the way they do, they are afraid, yet they feel better than others.

I have not realized the importance of the jewish population in Tunisia but lately some 6000 jews have come to Jerba isle in tunisia apparently to celebrate some occasion that I don't know about but what I heard is that here lies the second oldest jewish temple after Jerusalem,can anyone tell me more about this?since they don't welcome outsiders into that temple in ordinary days,any jews here?

I think I misinterpretted you. Judaïsm is not about killing messiases, it is all about following the the Lord (Adonai), and about it's people. But, they have quite another idea of the messias than the christians, as in judaism the messiah is thought to be a king that will rule over Israel and will save Israel from it's bad situation. While in christianity the verses out of Isaiah 53 are very important, where the messiah is painted as someone that will bear our sins and will die and be tortured and whatever more. Because of this other interpretation the jewish leaders almost 2000 year ago didn't seem to have much choice to do something different, unless they would have believed.

Is there "hell" in judaism ?

I think yes, but if you mean eternal punishment it's just for a handful of people and the most have something likely a purgatory it depends on how evil was the person or how many sins he's got. I'm not sure anyway maybe if someone can provide us with verses in Torah or something.

The Torah isn't the Quran.
In orthodox Judaism (which is the Judaism supprotng the doctrines of the afterword, hell etc) the Torah is nearly meaningless when it comes to Halacha (Jewish religious laws) or the nature of god etc. I would go as far as saying It's just history & moral story telling (except maybe Vaykra book).
So from where do Jews get there laws?
From the Rabbinical tradition, basing the laws in important rabbinical literature (gmara, sholchan aroch, philosophical books etc).
So it depends on commentary and interpretation (god forget to send a reading manual).

Actually no, there's no hell in Judaism -there's no Devil/Satan/Lucifer either, actually -that's all Christian beliefs.
As for versus from the Torah, I have no idea. But from what I understand, the Jewish belief is that there's a 'world-to-come' (pretty much heaven, where God & the angels are, etc.) but before you get there, there's purgatory -and the worse a person is, the more sins you've committed, the longer you stay in purgatory waiting to get to the world to come.

By the way, if you haven't guessed yet, I'm Jewish. Not religious at all, not even very strong in belief, but I know quite a bit about the religion & I've studied it a bit at school, so I can probably answer other questions if anyone has.

Yes the Old Testament is the Torah -but it's a translation of the Torah. The original Jewish Torah is in Hebrew, and the Christian version, the Old Testament, is their translation of it.

I don't know all the detail of how it actually happened, only that one of the main English versions of the Old Testament used the word Lucifer as the name of the Devil -whereas in the Torah, lucifer, meaning light-bearer, was actually in reference to the physical light of a planet in the sky.
I'm quite sure there's a similar thing with Satan, but I don't know that one..

The life of French Jews, maybe Jews all over Europe, is over in the 'multicultural' hell. The killing of four in a kosher supermarket is a late summary of 2014 and to add insult to injury CNN lauds the "successful" hostage rescue and as we speak the BBC and Guardian barely mention the killing. Jewish immigration out of France doubled last year and will probably triple itself this year - but not for nothing. They will build new prosperous homes elsewhere, especially in Israel with a stained memory of their previous 'countrymen' like most people do here.

So...why are European moods move from nonchalant to cynical when it comes to Jews? Basically inconsistently applied cheap collectivism and ingrained hateful prejudice.
Besides my personal experience with my European friends, which was bleak seeing how normal anti-Jewish sentiment is, here are some other takes:

"Schoolchildren in France have nothing to do with the construction of settlements on the West Bank or anything else that the government of Israel may or may not do. The fact that so many otherwise sensible people accept this kind of muddled collectivism (all Jews are complicit in and responsible for what any Jew does) shows just how widespread anti-Semitism still is."
source

"....Non-Jewish colleagues and friends tell me they haven't noticed the change...To them I say, check out social media - where you are either for the Palestinians or for the Jews. The tweeting after the murder of the Jewish hostages, to the tune of "Serves the Jews right. They need to stop murdering Palestinian babies" was chilling indeed." [source]

In short: maybe there's a logic to anti-Semitic violence. Maybe it's just a reaction to Israeli ? or as Wilcox put it, "Jewish" ? wickedness. Maybe you deserve it. Wilcox expressed a common view in right-thinking sections of society: that anti-Semitism isn't quite as bad as other forms of racism because it's often misfired anger with Israel.
[source

I always use to think about a catch phrase I could tell my European friends given the amount of pure horseshit I take from them, possibility best would have been, that perhaps they haven't changed much over time, but many Jews did and that our fate is more related than what it use to be.
