do american  zionists support illegal immigrants?

I'm confused by your question.\n\nFirst off, a Zionist is a person who believes that the Jewish People should have a homeland in the Holy Land.\n\nSecond, I don't know of any time where there has been illegal migration into the Holy Land by Zionists. From 1017 to 1917 the Ottoman Empire let anyone come in except during WWI when they excluded all citizens of Allied countries regardless of their views on Zionism.\n\nFrom 1917 to 1945 the British administered the Holy Land pursuant to a League of Nations Mandate that the Holy Land be a "homeland for the Jewish People".  By virtue of that mandate, any restrictions the British tried to put on Zionist immigration were illegal, not the other way round.  In 1947 the UN voted to divide the Mandate Territory into a Jewish State and an Arab State, pursuant to which the Jewish community in the Holy Land declared a State, Israel, which was admitted to the UN.  As a sovereign state established in accordance to international law, Israel allows immigration of Zionists.\n\nUS problems with immigrants to the US is just not on the radar for Israelis, and they don't have views.  Persons living in the US who favor a Jewish Homeland in the Holy Land, or part of it, may have views on immigration, but those views vary from person to person.

The members of AIPAC do not work for Israel.  They are all American citizens.  The two members of AIPAC that were accused of spying was found to be a setup by members of the FBI that were Antisenmites and just wanted to cause Jews trouble.

Answering that question from a purely intelectual position, the answer would be no - you can appose the statehood of Israel without apposing the existance and livelihood of the Jewish people.\n\nHowever this idea is impossible to seperate.  That is like saying I am anti-Germany but not anti-german.  If you claim to accept a people, but also claim to want to remove thier legal right to the land they have enhabited for thousands of years... it would be difficult to seperate the two issues.  \n\nNow, with the understanding that most poeple would not like to label themselves as anti-semetic, I can understand why they would choose a label of anti-israel instead... they don't necessarily want to catagorize themselves with people like Adolf Hitler, who was clearly anti-semetic.\n\nHowever, those in the Middle East who appose the Jewish state of Isreal, whether individuals or countries, have little problem acknowledging thier anti-semetism.  Do you recall the recent quote from that Iranian official?  He had no quams stating directly that the Jews should be driven into the sea (eliminated).  Also the Palestinian's new government lead by the Terrorist Group Hammas has declared the same while in the same breat asking for money resources to help thier government.  \n\nWell, we have to ask ourselves, is it possible to be anti-isreal and not anti-semitic?  How could we support the Jews and nor support the continued existance of Isreal?  I don't need to worry too much about it, I support both, but if you don't I am open for suggestions.  Let me know

Well, I think your facts are reversed.  As you know, many conservative Republicans are not in favor of making helping an illegal alien from another country, for example Mexico, a crime.  As you probably also know, in spring and summer of this year, there were nation-wide protests relating to this hot-button issue.  However, at his press conference the other morning, President Bush proclaimed that he could pass his agenda as far as immigration goes.  Therefore, Dem's are more likely to help President Bush pass a law making assisting illegal aliens a felony.  Therefore, I believe that you have your facts reversed. Wouldn't you want to help your own people?  Unless many of the Mexican-Americans were uninformed of the Dem's stand on this issue, then I would have to say that they would not vote Dem's into office because of their stand on this issue.

Absolutely, just about all of the Bush administration's policies are formed by the Jewish lobby.  If it wasn't for the zionists there wouldn't be any wars in the middle east.

No\nNo\nNo\nYes\nNo\n\nI'm an atheist, but I know a religious war when I see one...\n\nI support Israel because they (Jews) deserve a homeland and where on Earth is a more appropriate place for them than Israel? The Israeli people have manged to create a livable place in that desolate countryside, all the while defending themselves from attacks from nearly every country around them...the Arabs could take lessons, I mean if the Palestinians devoted as much time and effort into governing themselves and making their environment more livable and pleasant as they did to killing Jews, there wouldn't be a need for all the violence. Do you see what I'm getting at? Am I making sense here? Think about it.

I am shocked at the no. of anti-Semites who post on this site. Israel is the only ally the US has in the Middle East. It is a democracy and its citizens have the right to vote and a constitution much like ours. They are surrounded on all sides by terrorist nations determined to destroy them. These same terrorists are responsible for 9/11 and many other attacks on US interests.

Yes, and Us supported Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba and many more bloody dictators, as show the link below.  Do you know that US give Israelis arms to kill palestinans? USA are not so friendly.

Great question but you will not get a rational answer to support illegals.  Pro illegals will give you the same old arguments (which don't hold water), and you'll be called a racist.

"Give me your tired, your poor, \nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free, \nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore. \nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, \nI lift my lamp beside the golden door!!" \n\nI believe there is a caveat to what is on the Statue of Liberty; Be willing to work hard and contribute to the fabric of America, not come here and expect the citizens to give you handouts.  That is what the idea of legal immigration is all about.  Do you have a job lined up?  do you have a means of support?\n\nPeople that are against illegal immigration are not racist or against the people, but are against the idea that we should have immigrants that come into the country and expect us to give them the life they dreamed of.

Yes...and the unfortunate thing is they(Mexicans) have unwitting American citizens who are helping them. Some of whom have ideas to place provisions in the desert to support the invasion.

Just for the record: in this country, jews have notoriously helped and supported all minority groups in this country... I am jewish and know my American-Jewish history very well.\n\nYou do realize that everything you said is no better than any of those you accuse to be preaching hate and separatism?

Jewish people do discuss their opinion on the immigration issue.  I don't live in the United States at the moment so I'm a bit out of the loop on this issue, but I tend to be very compassionate towards illegal immigrants.  I think it's important to remember that we were all created in the image of G-d, that all people are entitled to live with dignity, and that we should try to think of what is moral and what is just, and then make that into a legal reality.  Sometimes laws are not just.  One of the central ideas in Judaism is that it's our duty to create a more just world.

I will not support evil thus it is highly unlikely I will vote in 2008. There has never been an opportunity for me to vote FOR someone that was worth voting for. All of this ZOG nations visible leaders are traitors. Only those that serve the true enemies of our people (the true jewish rulers) are given any chance at victory when they run for office. Both major parties and most of the fairly well known minor parties are under the same jewish control as is our media and financial networks from the Federal Reserve banks on down. The left wing and the right wing are both wings on the same jewish plane with the jewish pilot heading for a cliff as he plans to eject. I am out of the left - right box.

There is no justification for supporting Israel.  Since 1948, Israel has violated many UN resolutions, including the very first one which was a conditon for admittance into the UN: that Israel permit Palestinian refugees the Right of Return. Israel violated the UN Mandate that made Jerusalem an international city.  Israel has continued to violate UN resolutions and the World Court regarding its wall in the West Bank.  Israel feels free to thumb its nose at world opinion, and it does so repeatedly. \n\nKeep in mind two things: first, sympathy for the plight of Jews because of the horrors inflicted by the Nazis; and secondly that New York City is the biggest Jewish city in the world.  The Jewish lobby in the US has managed to rip off US taxpayers and send billions of dollars as outright grants to Israel every year, money which is used in its genocidal actions against the Palestinian people.\n\nBecause the American people keep largely silent in the matter of irrational US support for Israel, the US continues to back Israel regardless of what it does.\n\nIsrael tried to to sink the USS Liberty in international waters of Gaza in June of 1967.  Israel continues to get away with flagrant violations because no one is willing to stop it.\n\nOn the other hand:\nThe Islamic Ruling Committee in Al-Azhar is considered to be the highest religious ruling authority for Sunni Muslims. On 23 Dec. 2002, the committee determined that the Islamic nation must acquire nuclear weaponry. "The acquirement of modern nuclear weaponry is a religious obligation." According to a member of the Islamic Ruling Committee, Sheikh Ala A-Shanawi "The Islamic nation has to recognize the enemy, and to prepare itself accordingly." In answer to a question sent to Sheikh Ala A-Shanawi, he wrote, "Allah's messenger the prophet Muhammed would have prepared himself with all the resources possible in order to deal with the enemy. Therefore, if the Islamic nation is not equipped with the desired weaponry needed, it will be forced to suffer the consequences, and will be blamed for negligence." Sheikh Ala A-Shanawi emphasized, "All Islamic nations are required to seize nuclear weaponry!” (1)\n\nWhether Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty makes no difference.  Iran has said it would offer to make nuclear technology available to Sudan, so this shows how much Iran feels bound to honor its promises.\n\nSo Iran is not exactly peachy-keen either.  And the president of Iran made the mistake of saying that Israel should be wiped out, which in todays pro-Jewish mindset is a VERY foolish thing to do unless you are confident you have the means to carry out the threat.\n\nBoth of them, Iran AND Israel, are threats to peace and security not only in the Middle East but in the world.

hellooo - the Jews do not "occupy" Israel - another myth.  A Zionist is someone who believes that just like EVERY OTHER person on the planet, they deserve a homeland where they can fell free and safe.

I'll take a shot at it, if you don't mind Ma'am! They are looking for anything to gain sympathy and portray themselves as victims. They are extremely cunning, as their real intent is to take over by sheer population. Putting up a wall will stop them from doing this. They also feel that this is their land, much as the Palestinians feel that Israel is rightfully theirs. Their propaganda machines are in overdrive right now, as this is a make or break time for them. The Mexicans really hate us, and I think it is them that we should be wary of. Americans have seemed reasonable in their attitudes and responses to these people, but it is them - they are full of hatred and rage. To me, someone with that much hatred is a much stronger candidate to participate in an extermination or genocide.
