payne, The Jews are not a race, they are far to diverse for that. There are Jews from Ethiopia that are African as they can be. The same goes for Jews from India and China.
Ashkenazim are certainly not a race. They are susceptible to many genetic disorders because they rarely had intermarriage with Christians which has been a taboo for centuries. Ashkenazim are for all purposes white people, but have blood from other European, Middle Eastern, Persian and west Asian peoples. We do not consider ourselves a race and have never thought in racial terms. The Old Testament forbids racism. Moses' sister, Miriam was struck with down with a terrible disease for objecting to Moses marrying a women of color. Exodus says that the people that left Egypt were a mixed multitude. We are what we are, a people with our oldest roots in the Middle East, mixed with many other peoples we came into contact with during the diaspora.

At least 50 redundant posts for Clark now...
Your delusional views of reality once again combine the displaced Jews of the world building a home land in Israel, "Zionism" with all the bad aspects of everything mankind has to offer... You offer nothing but hate and blame Adolf... You are the cause of war, death hate and destruction not the resolve ... Neo-conservatism is not solely a Zionist or Jewish entity... there are good Jews and bad... just like everyone else... American patriots fought the Brits for American Independence ...In reality the American Indian tribes owned America... not the Brits.. sounds just like Palestine doesn't it ...You just enjoy the Nazi blame game ... unless you have a good plan... and does your plan include giving America back to the Indians... you're just a putz

So this is all about Israel....Adolf

Wars Occurring Now

1. Syria 2011-present 15,898 deaths
This is the most violent war going on right now and Al-Jazeera reports 30,000 to 52,000 total deaths, including civilians, since the war began. Syria’s most recent civil war began after government security forces killed 3,261 civilian protesters in 2011. Since 1979, there has been intermittent civil war in the country accounting for at least 26,894 battle-related deaths.

2. Afghanistan 1978-present 143,958 deaths
Afghanistan has been marred by brutal civil war for a very long time and, in 2012, 7,396 deaths were recorded. This year, the UN reports 1,318 civilian deaths in just the first six months. Since 2004, the Taliban alone has been responsible for the deaths of 868 civilians, killing women, voter registration cardholders, and aid and development workers to name a few of their targets.

3. Iraq 2003-present 25,223 deaths
This number of fatalities may grossly underscore the toll of human life taken by Iraq’s insurgent war according to a recent study that found 461,000 direct and indirect deaths since 2003. Iraq Body Count reports 4,574 civilian deaths in 2012 alone. Insurgent group Islamic State in Iraq has killed 6,187 civilians since 2004, primarily, for participating in democracy.

4. Pakistan 2007-present 20,165 deaths
Pakistan has not experienced peace since 1974 when the government began fighting various insurgent groups. In 2012 alone, fighting accounted for 2,705 deaths. Civilians have been attacked by these groups as well, with the majority of the killing done by the Taliban. Since 1998, at least 1,963 civilians have died from these attacks.

5. Sudan 1983-present 50,859 deaths
The civil war in Sudan actually began in 1971, but fatality data is very incomplete before 1983. Though fighting abated in 2005, it began again 2010 and, in 2012, 1,484 battle-related deaths were recorded. The ethnic cleansings in 2003 and 2004 of the Darfur region are regarded as one of the greatest atrocities of recent history and accounted for 4,369 to 27,000 civilian deaths. This was not the first or last of such incidents as government of Sudan has killed at least 10,470 civilians since 1989.

6. Somalia 1982-present 26,418 deaths
Multiple groups fight for control of the government and it has been intense since 2007 with 2,620 dead last year. War in 1990-92 claimed 12,108 lives and the conflict abated until 2006. The extremist group al-Shabaab killed 139 civilians in 2012.

7. Yemen 2011-present 3,473 deaths
There has been conflict since independence in 1948 though recent armed activity started in 2009. The government has been trying to drive out al-Qaida forces and fighting was particularly intense last year with 2,333 deaths.

8. Nigeria 2009-present 1,541 deaths
Nigeria is at war with the ultraviolent radical Islamic sect Boko Haram, who seeks to overthrow the current government. In 2012, there were 812 battle-related deaths and 459 civilians were killed. Initial reports this year show those numbers will only increase.

9. Mexico 2012 1,513 deaths
The many drug cartels of Mexico have been waging war since 1989 for control of trafficking. Many human rights violations have occurred in that time period including rape, torture, beheadings and mutilation. The government has been unable to effectively curb violence and many say some officials are even complicit. The actual number of deaths due to cartel violence could be as high as 18,000.

10. Colombia 1979-present 21,267 deaths
The Uppsala data project only started recording fatalities in 1979, but there has been civil war in Colombia since 1964, marking it as the oldest, continuous civil war. Guerrilla organizations, most notably FARC, want government control and are funded in large part by the drug trade and kidnappings. In 2012, the Ministry of Defense reported 4,539 deaths of guerillas alone.

All these countries have suffered heavily in loss of life and have extreme economic disparity. Though religion is often a strong contributing influence, the strife over political power dominates these conflicts and the cost to all sides has been quite heavy. These 10 wars alone have accounted for deaths of at least 44,291 people last year and the death toll continues to grow in 2013. See Part 2 for a list of armed conflicts that are going on today.

Payne, I completely agree with everything written here. Ashkenazim had a much more difficult time than Sephardim in the past. After the destruction of the Roman Empire, the Church tried to unify Europe under one religion, but the Jews would not convert. A virtual war was declared against the Jews. It changed from a war of religion to one of race when it was no longer cool to discriminate against a religion in Europe in the late nineteenth century with the exception of the Czarist empire and other countries in Eastern Europe.

The Jews are a major minority where ever they go... Minority's are targeted by the Majority ... its always easy to kick around the little guy around... putz....

You support the Sephardic Jews simply because their messiah did not lead them back to the promised land of Israel... like their book said... This religious belief is what started the Anti Zionist movement that you twist with your Nazi propaganda selling hate and blame just like Hitler did..How's my grammar now Adolf...

payne, More bs. The Ashkenazi Jews are part of the Jewish people. Several points prove that the ancestors of the Ashkenazis come from Eretz Yisroel
1 They have the same genetic background as other people that first settled the Middle East.
2. They are in part composed of the ancient priests which are decedents of Aaron. They have the same gene as other Kohanim of Jews from other parts of the world.
3. Ashkenazim are recognized as part of the ancient people of Israel by all other Jews.
Payne, you do not make Jewish law. Even if that were true ( which it is not ) as part of the Jewish people, they have the same rights as all other Jews. The Jews are a people not a race.
This business about the Khazars is the same kind of bs as the other lies that you so enjoy spreading.

This is quite remarkable. You dislike this only because Mr. Mighty Morphin Power Ranger is pro Israeli. I dislike it only because he is giving to the Clintons. I dislike being on the same side of anything with you, but here we are. It puts me in an even more uncomfortable position of being somewhat on the Obama side. Strange bedfellows we are. Hillary goes where the money is, while Obama is anti Israel like you. For more on this:

The Jewish people have no historical, cultural or spiritual connection to Madagascar. They do have that connection to Eretz Yisroel, They are the people that are now and have always been associated with that land. Even the Koran, the holy book of those that wish to destroy them affirms that that land belongs to the Jews! There has been a Jewish presence in that land for over three millennia. It was a Jewish country for two thousand years. They have come home to the land which gave them birth. THEY ARE THERE TO STAY!!

son of witless-regretfully, Permafrost is unable to distinguish between facts and lies. Iran has never been truthful about anything and only the gullible believe anything they say. Those centrifuges will most likely be upgraded and re-assembled at locations with which we are not familiar. A country whose leaders chant "death to America" on a daily basis is to be trusted ? As soon as Iran has access to the 150billion it will be, "screw you America "all over again and it will be too late for us to do anything about it. Perma needs to head South and thaw out. Good Luck America !!!

Seems to me that you're the only one obeying Hitler's wishes around here putz... Did the Jewish people have ancestral ties to Madagascar? The Jews have just as much right to be exactly where they are as anyone... maybe its time for the extreme Arabs to act civilized and learn to share so the Jews could stop kicking Arab ass ... seems the 2 million normal Arabs live happily with the 4 million Jews in Israel now... this is an extreme Arab problem known as terrorism... and you promote this crap Adolf
