No. They've been doing that since they were founded.
Then again, so were the Christians. And the Buddhists. And the Hindus.
Then again, I cannot seem to find any sources of recent (last 1000 years) Jewish vs other violence. They seem to be picked on more than doing picking.
- el-mapache 14y agoI'm sorry, but do you mean the violent behaviour that didn't cause the bombing of the King David hotel in Jerusalem? Or the persistent treatment of the Palestinians as non-entities in a country in which they account for some 20 percent of the population? Or perhaps you're refering to the hawkish attitude taken towards Iran and syria? Neither of those countries support anything close to democracy, but it's a farce and a damn shame to pretend that the religious extremists in Israel are anything but.
- TheAmazingIdiot 14y agoI wasn't being clear in what I was thinking of. I was referring to religions that go to war vs another for religious reasons. Crusades: Christian vs Islam, for example. Jerusalem is different, that being a country with displacement/murder of people at its creation. Not that I agree with any sort of treatment towards families killed or kicked out on the founding. After having read a bit about the bombing of the King David Hotel, well, I guess there are some radical elements there too. Pity.
