Maia is a copybook example of the Dunning-Kruger arrogance of ignorance. What I can’t tell is whether her ignorance is guiltless or wilful. Is she, like so many right winger supporters, dishonest and malicious; or like the remainder of them, foolish and deluded?

Are you referring to my experiences of Muslims in Birmingham? If so, then I suspect I'm considerably less ignorant of the situation than you are.

Or maybe you're referring to my comments about Israel. Well, at least I've been there, which I suspect you haven't.

Since you know next to nothing about me, I want you to consider on what these suspicions of your relative expertise are based, if not on the mere fact that I disagree with you. Because I think you’ve just proved my point about you and Dunning Kruger.

My motive for pursuing this with you is that Judaism is a very good religion and way of living. I object strongly with any attempt to conflate Jewishness with Israel and her present fascist regime.
Really? WTF is Judaism? and how ITF does it transmit "goodness"

I know there are books on how to be a Jew or a Christian, or whatever. Exactly why would anyone choose to be other than what they are, and then claim there is some "good" being schizophrenic? I think such people are arrogant sociopaths. Claiming to be what you are not is an affectation, not a good.

People can point fingers all day long and never hit the right target.
Perhaps there are so many problems in the world is because most people are too stupid to even find the problem, even though they dress it every day.

I have read the Book. It tells me that Man is being made, not a Jew, not a Christian, not a potato, but Man.

I know, I've been there. Israel is very much a secular state. But it's no coincidence that the majority of its population are Jews, though.
In Israel’s population of about 10.1 million, roughly 76% are Jewish and 24% are non-Jewish (mostly Arab Muslim, Christian, or Druze).

I said "a historical coincidence". This means historical causes determined the proportion of Jews to non-Jews.

My motive for pursuing this with you is that Judaism is a very good religion and way of living. I object strongly with any attempt to conflate Jewishness with Israel and her present fascist regime.

The Torah condemns oppression and injustice. “You shall not wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in Egypt” (Ex. 22:21). “God created man in His own image” (Gen. 1:27). The ongoing treatment of Palestinians by the Netanyahu government stands in direct opposition to these principles: oppression, collective punishment, and dehumanization violate the Torah’s core moral vision.

Support Netanyahu as much as you like, but do not pretend he and his like are good Jews.
I don't support Netanyahu, and nor do I not support him. And I'm not Jewish either, for that matter, so I can't comment on who is, or isn't, a good Jew.
Yes, you do indeed support Netanyahu. You wrote:- "Don't you think Israel has the right to defend itself when attacked?" This is exactly the sentiment of Netanyahu the international criminal.

One can go to "israel", for example, or to any other place, and never really see what actually is happening and occuring there.

Such an opinion is likely to be held by any Israeli government, not just his. And rightly so, just as any country's government should, if attacked, either externally or internally.

The census is clearly wrong, probably deliberately so. Everyone seems to be talking about an inevitable civil war, now. I really hope that can be avoided, somehow, but I'm not hopeful.

I live there, and it is not 20% muslim, not even close. And of course there isn't a conspiracy to falsify the census you absurds nutjob. Also, who are these people that are telling you about the " inevitable civil war"? You are the idiot gammon victim of Russian troll farms. Mickthinks is much too nice to you.

I've been to London quite a few times, unfortunately. The place stinks, literally. I would be happy if I never had to go there again.

It's no so much that the census is falsified, but rather that it doesn't count all the millions, most likely, who are here illegally.

As for the feeling that we're heading for civil war, that would be everyone I know who has mentioned the subject. I live in the real world, with a real job, among real people, not the sneering, lefty elite.

You have a point. It is terrible whenever your stinky tribe of filthy racist EDL scumbags come to town to drink tins of Fosters and piss on everything. You are indeed a smelly crowd of fucking wretches.

We already covered whether you have a real job, and you don't. You work a DEI job, some of it paid for by my taxes which flow from central government to local ones under a lefty formula that right wingers want to do away with. When your hyper-Tory friends are running the show, they will take that funding away, and then you will subsist on whatever benefits are left after they steal everything and reduce their own taxes to nothing. Too late you will realise that chasing away immigrants doesn't mean there is more of anything left over for you.

Please don't wear Patchouli oil, Maia. Contrary to what your people may believe we civilized moderns find it overwhelming most of the time.

What we have here is a dispute between two different types of Brit. Maia is a conservative old ways churchill glory to the queen and the Isles of Manchestonshire Brit while FDP is a postmodern sex pistols fish 'n chips Brit who'd rather be at a pub than a cricket match or public appearance of her majesty. These types will disagree about most public policy and may even take up arms against each other.
