As long as the Jews burn Bibles it's OK but if their books are burned they shout Antisemitism and what not. I just wish more Christians find out the truth, especially the Evangelical ones.

Q
|
Um, actually, the Nazis burned PEOPLE, and that's one of the major things they get condemned for. True, they also burned books, and they also get condemned for that, but not nearly as much as they do for burning people. And the Nazis banned books and had vast, orgiastic public seizure and burning of forbidden books, an activity that was a major component of the state's agenda. Meanwhile, a few guys in Israel have taken it upon themselves to burn some New Testaments that were foisted upon them as a way to protest the lying, deceptive practices of missionaries. It's not like it's a huge state action, it's not like the books are even banned. |

Get your facts right before posting.
Israelis do not 'burn books'. *Three* Israeli Orthodox Jews were upset and furious when Christian evangelists LIED and tried to FOOL new Israeli immigrants as they - quite literally - left the airport after arriving in Israel.
These evangelists pose as "messianic jews" and they have been handing out what they call 'complimentary jewish bibles'. But those bibles are the NEW TESTAMENT, the CHRISTIAN bible. The new immigrants then take the bible, are befriended by these evangelists and before they even know what's hit them, are part of Christian 'study evenings'.
So kindly direct your anger where it belongs - at the LYING, CHEATING Christian evangelists that have ignored all polite requests to STOP deceiving people in order to convert them. |

The comparison is obscene , but what do you expect from a person who calls himself (or herself) "Das Reich"? |

2 differences
1. Nazis came to Jews, took their books and burned them, Jews took bibles that were given to their students and burned them.
Nazis burned out of hate(they didn't stop at the books) Jews burned out of frustration, missionaries target vulnerable groups such at Ethiopian immigrants, they were fed up with it and decided to do something about it, you cannot compare the two.
2. Nazis did not condemn burning Jewish holy books while all Jews of all sects condemn this behavior.
I just found the Hebrew article on this, there were very angry comments from all sects from secular Jews to Orthodox. |

Why do all you people generalise! (kidding)
There was a small group of Jews that burnt some books. That was rong of them. A short guy stole my bike. All short people are thieves?
Don't be stupid.
--------------------------------------...
EDIT: Also, to respond to the guy above, it wasn't Zionists burning books. It was Jews. They're probably the least Zionist Jews in Israel!
We Zionists are the good guys.
EDIT: The fact that the Nazis burnt books was not the main problem with them. |

And your proof for this question is what? Are Israeli Jews burning books, surely you can provide a link? |

The Nazis, Herr Reich, burned books and other things as well, as national policy and as part of their misguided solution to the Jewish problem.
On the other hand, a few nuts in Israel who burn books out of ignorance and stupidity do not define any kind of national policy, and were in any case fiercely criticized by both the media and public.
Since this was a one-time occurrence, I think you too can safely assume that the one thing has nothing to do with the other. Despite what others have said on this thread, and contrary to the policies of the despicable Nazi regime, Israel is a democracy that encourages the freedom of speech. Even evangelists can have their say, and there is definitely no reason to burn books – least of all the New Testament. |

A neighborhood does not a political party make.
You would have them burn the people and save the books?
Learn what the book says about forgiveness Mr. Moral. |

Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Christians can live without threat, but they are asked not to proselytize. Unfortunately there are Christians who call themselves Jews4Jesus or Messianic Jews who treat their NTs disrespectfully by distributing them where they are NOT wanted. Instead of throwing them in the trash, they were burned. It seems to me that burning them is more respectful than letting them rot in a compost pile.
Why isn't anyone complaining about the way some Christians disrespect their most holy book?

You're using an improper historical analogy. Historical analogies are already shaky to begin with, considering that events in different places and time are unique and difficult to extract common lessons. The posters above have already pointed out the differences that show a comparison between Nazis and Jews is false. Anyway, you made a good attempt to draw anti-Semites and neo-Nazis out. |

Books which are not spiteful to Jews are respected--for somebody to come to Israel not to practice their religion but to try to convert/subvert others to their beliefs is a blatant insult to the Jewish People who gave them their religion in the first place--Jews do not burn books which are sacred to another religion--propaganda used for the purpose/intent of missionizing in not considered to be sacred either by those printing it up or by the Jews who views such material as a waste of G-d's paper and resources. |

There is no difference. Burn one book, burn one belief, burn one opinion, dictatorship is all that remains.... |

you're right,that was deplorable.
that is also why there was a public uproar in israel over this incident.
had you investigated a little further you would have seen the papers and the israeli public outrage to that incident.
your comparison is repulsive. |

Why is your name a salute to a failed and immoral regime?
Am I to construe that you are a neo-Nazi? Too bad if you are. We need more intelligent, tolerant and loving people in the world..
Anyone can condemn something and then turn around and do it themselves. History is full of such examples.
See torture, see waterboarding, see rape, exile, beheading-unlawful imprisonment, etc.
What I understand of this, SOME jewish people are burning bibles to demonstrate their objection to SOME missionaries trying to push their views on them. Me? I would take the hint and leave them alone.
Some people don't or won't.
I think missionaries are the epitome of arrogance. Imagine ME coming to YOUR home and telling you that you are a misguided knucklehead for beleiving in something you can't see or prove. Something made up to control people?
I might get shot on sight. My car would be destroyed and my children beaten up--
Atheists don't go out patrolling for lost souls.
We think people are able to decide for themsleves and be adults and mind our own business. What a concept!
I think burning books, except in dire circumstance-to keep warm in the snow, for instance-is an abomination. I adore books.
Even lousy books are better than no books.
Jews have every right to condemn Nazis for what they did and continnue to do. Any loving, thinking, caring, reasonable adult-- jew or otherwise, should condemn what Nazis stand for. And for what they DO. |

Be good if the Jews had a moral high ground, they lost thet when 1) killed jesus, 2)became moneylenders due to church ban on christians making profit from lending, and 3)Invading Palestine after ww2 |

jews lost their morals to zionists and zionists are hypocrites |

big difference the isrealis burned the new tetament the the misssinaries distributed to them to show the missinaries we dont want it the nazis stole the jews books to burn them |

Simple answer, the Jews are hypocrites. They say one thing, and do the exact opposite. They want peace in the Palestinian region, yet they take some Palestinian land near Jerusalem, and build Israeli houses on them, angering the Palestinians. |

Israeli Jews dont burn bibles, no jews do. |

Good point. If only the Jews had another complaint. |
|
zion no more

Jews are unfairly malined. A lot of evil is done in their name. If you looked a little closer, I am sure that you would find that it was most likely the zionists that were burning books.
One last point my friend. The zionists lost their moral high ground when they occupied Palestine and began genocide. |

Yes but then hypocrisy is alive & well in Israel...this is just the tip of the iceberg ! |
