Israeli court rejects Israeli nationality status

[JDPriestly]

10. A sanctuary for the Jewish people who were dispersed after the destruction of the temple

in approximately 70 a.d. and subsequently persecuted everywhere they tried to live in peace.

That's what the sanctuary is for.

It amazes me that some who would demand sanctuaries for wolves and lions and gorillas, etc., cannot understand that certain people, people who are threatened constantly or have been threatened constantly by others, need sanctuaries.

It isn't just Jewish people who need a sanctuary. It is also many, many indigenous peoples around the world. No one thinks it is odd to set aside land and declare it a sanctuary for members of a certain indigenous tribe. Everyone recognizes that they are endangered, their culture and their lifestyle at risk.

But over a thousand years after the Roman conquest and takeover of Israel and all the horrible persecution of Jews since that time, people begrudge them a sanctuary. Israel is a tiny country in the vast area of the Middle East.

Get used to it. Let's see people show at least as much compassion for the Jewish people as they do for the gorillas. Could you please?
