And, as I've heard someone else point out - isn't it literally anti-Semitic to assume that Jews and Israelis are, like, the same thing? And/or that Israel is, like, the global mouthpiece for Jews everywhere? Seems a bit reductive, to me... Seems on the same level as thinking the leader of Kenya, or Nigeria, or any African nation speaks for Black people everywhere.

Netanyahu isn't the Emperor of Jews!

Wouldn't it be more like "king of the Jews"? Btw, does anyone know where I can get a large cross and nails? Asking for a friend.

Between the username and the shopping list, I believe we've got a Roman on our hands here...

Romanes eunt domus!

What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?

Romans go home (?)

No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on!

I've always felt the nation of Israel is squatting on the name. Like, aren't there people outside of Israel-the-nation that also claim to be Israel (in the Biblical sense)?
