 Do you think that the people who began the war were all Jewish? why hate the nation?  Maybe the root of evel is in their POLITICIANS and not in their women and children who suffer most from this hatred?

 That's what I am against of! When a person says he is special - he tries to place himself above the others (no matter if he says that we are ALL chosen - he thinks that he (I don't speak personally about the poster, of course) IS special - and in this case he IS prior to others. But there are others who think that they are special (or chosen) too and here begins a struggle which one is even a little MORE special. I'd like people not to say that any of us is chosen. It may seem the same as to say that we are all chosen, but in fact it's quite different! 
  It is obvious that u r a good listener to media vaunting such falsehood about Arabs and Muslims

 well, let me answer your question by raising another question . 
 What would make a nation Or race chosen ? 
 I think ..assuming that God has chosen one race or a nation than another contradicts with the message that all religions call for which is Equality among all the humanbeing. 
 Saying that arabs has started wars with Israel just because they found out that the Jewish people are chosen is perversion of the crystal clear truth . 
 Every single person in the world knows what Israel is doing every day in Palestine ...and lately in lebanon.

 Hi Dew 2007 ... So u use the word may be i inform u some facts to be sure that Arabs are not eager to kill the Jews. I ask if u really don't know the real reason of the wars between Arabs and Jews. There is no reason for a nation to be involved in wars only because it is chosen. Arab and Jews lived for years and nothing happens of such wars till the 1948. According to your suggestion arabs did not discover that they are chosen before this date. Arabs wake up one day and remember : "we are chosen, lets kill jews".This is...</description></item><item><title>Re: Do you think that Jewish people are the chosen people?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/DoJewishChosen/2/vggmh/Post.htm#411529</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:53:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:411529</guid><dc:creator>David</dc:creator><slash:comments>11</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/DoJewishChosen/2/vggmh/Post.htm#411529</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-411529.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>If you read what I had to say you would have seen that I ended up saying that we are all special and chosen according to Jesus.

 In this case it may be regarded as "Being chosen" - that is to kill or to be killed. Whoever says he is chosen - he puts himself above the others and it leads to the bloodshed. I am for equality.
