Well the arab religion began in 500AD,they left out the previous 6 to 7 thousands years of history of the jewish nation,time they got educated,and if the catholic s dont believe in the chosen people,Well the Bishops probably have a differnt transalation of the texts in aramaic,greek,or latin.of the old testament.Should not worry,Christ said "Ye hypocrites and liars " Looks like not much has changed since those times, with our learned interpretators of the laws and religion.

I think it is time the world stopped the mistreatment of Jewish people . It is a credit to them that they are peaceful after what they have had to endure. Arabs too are good people in the main and have much in common with Jewish people but have not been persecuted to anywhere the same extent as the Jewish people .Religious leaders should not be taking sides.

They were speaking about "their" faith/fact as Jewish lawyer advocate Derwoitz [sp] said from same seed Jewish to Christianity..Jews no longer "so-called-chosen people" Sorry you AND Joseph walker missed that! Discussion was 'not' about any other faiths AND yes Catholics are aware of other ancient faiths. BACK Off.Take a deep breath.READ the article not rewrite article! Doninnz and walker I don't know where you two or others of your ilk with such lack if information or misinformation or down right lies are getting your information maybe Israel? It is imposable you two or others are so purposely uninformed for 43 years but Israeli Jews have brutally occupied Palestinian Catholic, Greek, Coptic Christians,Arab and Muslims using radical armed by Israel illegal settlers in West Bank. HEAR THIS.CLEARLY PALESTINIANS HAVE DEEDS TO THEIR ANCIENT HOMES-LAND.JEWS FROM EUROPE CALL THEMSELVES ISRAELIS THEY ARE NOT THEY ARE EUROPEAN JEWS WHO SAILED TO PALATINE .AFTER WW2 ARMED AND MURDERED THEIR WAY INTO PALATINE. illegal Israeli setters,shot 29 Muslims to death as they prayed in Mosque! Hardly peaceful. Israeli track record assassinated 1,400 in Gaza, 2008 in Gaza women-children-men- not allowing food, water-medicine to million of Arab, Muslims,Christians committed in West Bank/Gaza "war crimes,crimes against humanity, crimes of war, Geneva Convention, International law YOU get the drift? US kept Israeli 43 year occupaiton of Palestine giving US taxpayers $3Bln to Israeli exchanged for US sophisticated weapons, 26% allowed converted to shackles support Isreali jobs,weapons industry,4Th largest in world. Not their money-weapons gives Israeli weapons manufacturing/jobs at expense of US jobs/taxpayers! CASH! $3.billion a year PLUS 180 million monthly,Grants,US Guaranteed Loans NO pay back clause.So-called Zionist Jews in FACT murdering,land stealing colonizing brutal historical Europeans thrives! Peaceful they are not in any language or translation.

@sj As i said get educated,it was called Judah right up to 150 Ad or thereabouts renamed by the Roman Emperor Hadrain in about 150ad called |Palistine thereafetr ,after the romans destroyed the jewish capital Jerusalem 70AD,slaughtered and killed most,the remaining jews from judah were taking as slaves and deposited in Rome and across the known roman empire..Ps Too long a history for you to digest ,and i really cant be bothered ,Best advice time you caught up with your education.

Comment fut inventé le peuple juif which translates as :The Invention of the Jewish People of SHLOMO SAND historian and professor at Telaviv university. For you who know nothing but lies.

@sfreeman. You mean the creation of the Human race,ofcourse it can be debateable seeing intelligence in some people is probably from monkeys.Never read his books,no need to,Got the Old Testament.When i am incapabable of of using my brain,even then I doubt I will need somebody to tell me anything contary to what is writing the Holy Scriptures.

lets face the facts! its way past time for someone to do something to stop the murder! i suggest pipelines for water like they did in Nevada usa a city in the desert . we all know there is no shortage of desert there .the rich people of the world are soon going to have to face the fact of they cannot keep all the wealth for the few !its time to share .for the world s population of poor will not wait any longer .is there anything good on record Israel has done for anyone ?

there is no such thing as the chosen ones .you people really think the big books contain no lies .with mankind's track record i find it very hard to believe

Joseph walker, The old testament is noting but a collection of fables, stories, and absurdly outdated morality tales. The fact that anyone in the 21st century can take this tome as factual truth is quite frankly astonishing. You speak of education, yet you embrace dogma? I suppose that for leisure you like to dig in the deserts for evidence of Nioahs Ark, or Sodom and Gomorrah?

Most of the comments are off the wall and are not historically or religiously sound. The Palestinians do not want a state of Palestine and never had the desire for one. The name Palestinian was coined by Yasser Arafat to solicit sympathy and western support for Muslims. What Palestinians want is the complete destruction of Israel and no one in the western world is paying any attention, just as they pay no attention to the truth of Islam and Muslims as dangerous way of life and faith that opposes all other ways of life and faiths. There is a video on Youtube of Anjem Choudry as he speaks to a very dull witted western interviewer who simply refuses to listen to the truth about Islam and real Islamic values, and that our western leaders are also oblivious of the truth stuck in appeasement mode of everything negative that Islam and Muslims do around the world.. Perhaps its western political socialist engineering that gets in the way as they are stuck in their own tunnel vision of trying to make the world in their socialist vision. It certainly was not socialist vision that built the western world into the power it is today, but this socialist vision is certainly doing its best to tear the foundations of democracy, democratic principles and western Evangelical Christianity from our way of life. What they seem to desire to replace it with is Islam as no other way of life or religion has the sway that Islam has in the west with these political socialist engineers. These politicians desire a "Peace Process" that doe not exist, will not exist and is simply a lull before the storm. Israel knows that to give up what they have earned with the blood of their people in the wars with Islam for nothing in return is absoluetly ludicrous. President Barack H. Obama has stated he will force this peace upon them, whch means that he will force Israel to do as he wants, or America will invade and force it on them.

@Gazza. You are entitlled to believe what you want ,it is known as choice , the morality laws written in the old testament and handed down from generation to generation ,no doubt the present collective crap in govts,and authorities would prefer if we adopted satan principles of greed ,inequalities ,drugs sex ,rape murder ,and last but not least the perverts in society who have been encrouching they perversions on the whole of society.our broadcasting media ,and hollywood.and offcouse the internet.And all availiable if you want to know , in our society.

Jews are NOT the "Chosen People", CHRISTIANS are! When the Jews pressured Rome into kill their messiah (after rejecting him) they breached the contract that God made with them. Jews have the same status as Muslims and all others who reject Je...sus as the Son of God and the ONLY way to the Father! You can't have both sides of the coin: Either Jesus is the Messiah and was truthful when he said "No man comes to the Father but by me" or he was a liar and fraud; that's the ONLY WAY Jews can still be the "Chosen People". This is one of the few times I agree with the Catholic 'church'!!

The history of humankind did not begin with the Hebrews. It is much older. There were people living in Palestine long before the Jews conquered it. The Kingdom of David lasted only seven decades and was built over the bones of Canaanite women and children. The idea of chosen races is an archaic, racist, psychopathic, immoral, criminal, and inhuman ideology. It is about time the human community called for its removal from the collective moral foundation of our human species.
