@sepharadflorida if we don't spell it in full why do we pronounce it in full?

@sepharadflorida You need to face the fact that Israel is a terrorist state that is only able to get away with what it does get away with because it has the backing of the U.S. The Palestinians are militarily weak in comparison with the Israeli forces. If you think that dispossessing a people of their homeland, ethnically cleansing a land, torturing and killing, are good things then you have already lost your humanity.

@sepharadflorida Thanks for that interesting comment.

If you examine the foundations of Zionism you will discover that the intention was always to disposses the arabs and to drive them out into the surrounding countries. There is documentary evidence for this assertion. Now, that being the case, why should the Palestinians allow themselves to be dispossesed?

You seem not to care that Palestinian children are being killed by Israeli aggression. Joshua at the walls again, no?! Ugh.

@SuperFifthwheel The English word "GOD" comes from the root-meaning of the name (from Gothic root gheu; Sanskrit hub or emu, "to invoke or to sacrifice to") is either "the one invoked" or "the one sacrificed to." The word "GOD" has its roots from the pagan times of Europe and when Europe was Christianized evolved from the Gothic Gheu to todays word GOD.

Therefore, when we translate from the Hebrew version ELOAH to English God, we use G-d. to disconnect it from its pagan roots.

@bayreuth79 do you mean the children in "Gaza" that are send to "Israel" to blow up by their parents forced by the terrorist organization Hamas, are these the children you are talking about?.

Why don't you keep your manipulated terror-comments for yourself and let us enjoy peacefully the words of a Rabbi. Or do you see Jews going to Muslim religious sites posting irrelevant ignorant comments there, as you do here?

Get lost.

[bayreuth79]

What about hearing the cry of the Palestinian children in Gaza?!

[DreamTa]

I can agree nothing more.

God is not a hebrew word, so feel free to spell it out. God is not even gods name, its a fabricated word to describe a deity of the talmud and other religions even pagan ones in english. Gods name shall not be revealed and all that. "G-d" -seriously are you that crazy? GOD say it and spell it with pride!

[shangrigreige]

this is a bit loopy, no?
