Salam/Shalom

Being Persian/Euro Jewish would that mean you are part Sefardic part Ashkenazi?

Thanks for your introduction, welcome aboard.

Most Pakistanis may have reservations about Israel because of the Israeli Politics but won't say anything negative about Jewish people because we consider Jewish people as our cousins. After all we worship same God ( God of Adam, Abraham and Muhammad - May God's Peace be upon them).

.

Indeed - actually we share many common beliefs and values. Many similarities among us people of the Book

Greetings people,

I'm Rayz, Israeli (part Persian part European).

As my nationality is not quite favored in this part of the internet, I guess I'd have to make things clearer:

I'm not a nationalist, I'm not right or left wing, I do not hate or favor a specific country or people. What I do hate is corrupt, lying governments (including my own) that make simple people turn against each other. I am trying to be as objective as I can, I'm not taking sides on the Israeli-Muslim conflict as I believe all sides are victims of their own regimes and other circumstances. I am also anti-war completely.

I come here to focus on knowing the other side, and let the other side know me, beyond the empty news channels and the two-sided lies on the internet. The age of misinformation will come to an end when we finally start talking. I do not believe anybody here is my enemy, I only believe people are poisoned to think I'm their enemy, same as I was poisoned before by my own.

I used to participate in this type of forums years ago, as a proud defender of Israel, exposing the best of anti-Zionist hypocrisy, until I came to learn that I was a hypocrite myself. Many things have changed since, and I hope to free people from that kind of mindset.

Good luck
Rayz

one of the best intros on pdf.

and i am a socialist so i may understand your thinking more than others.

you have every right to be a nationalist

'm coming to India this month, starting in Himchal.

himachal is indeed a beautiful land... never been to it myself but know generally.

though keep in mind the flooding that has occurred in india is the few days.

I am also anti-war completely.

I do not identify as jewish, I am an atheist.

Oh, really? Because I'm certainly a Jew and an atheist too.

At least do you identify yourself as a Zionist, or Zionists are hypocrites?

 

[Styx]

Of course I do. I'm just speaking from bad experience
Namaste friend, I'm coming to India this month, starting in Himchal.

welcome to the forum, your avatar seems to suggest you might've been to Kasol/Chapora etc already

have fun in Himachal, still good for another couple months, harvest in October, just saying....

and in case this is your first trip don't bother with Manali, maybe do Kasol/Chalal etc for a bit if you want but Kalga/Pulga/Kheerganga and upwards is more shanti




and lastly, hope you're not a false flagger lol, there's a big problem here of people misrepresenting their nationality

Arent't you just Israeli if you're an atheist, because being a Jew means you're a follower of Judaism ?

Every Israeli atheist of Jewish origin I've ever met considers himself/herself a Jew.

Even the strict adherents to Orthodox Judaism consider us, the atheist Jews, as "captured infants", i.e. Jews who sin as a result of having been raised without an appreciation to Orthodox Judaism.

oh, by "nationalism" i meant the vulgar jingoism that puts one's country above other humans... like how bjp party does in india.

I'm not a Jew because I don't buy that "both ethnicity and religion" thing. If the people of Israel want to believe that they're direct inhabitants of the Canaanites that inhabited Israel during the bronze age, so be it. I'm not a part of that

Also thanks to the Indian friends here, I'm actually first time in India, my avatar is by Alex Grey, a recommended artist, look him up. I've heard quite contradicting stuff about Manali haha.. I'm actually aiming to start in Dharamsala, hoping its not too rainy to travel.

You didn't really answer my question, you know.
