I'm sorry this happened to you.

If you go around the Forum, and answer somebody else's post, this is a way to get to know people.

That's how I got to know people on this Forum----by putting in my opinion about things.

I'm Jewish, but non-practicing.

Don't Jewish people actually LIKE pigs as pets?---isn't it just that they feel like EATING pigs is ritually "dirty"?

Lol there are many stores that sell pork, I buy it sometimes. The Russian immigrants have a great demand for it. Pets? Not in Israel.
According to the Rambam, Maimonedes, the pig is unclean, and has a cloven hoof?
The interesting thing is pork often contains parasites, less common when farmed under veterinarian supervision. The laws of Kashrut are pretty smart actually considering that bacteria and other micro-organisms were still undiscovered.

Yep. I saw the film two weeks ago.

It was actually pretty good. It was relatively objective.

It was about the assassin's radical hatred of non-Jews. He perceived Rabin as being a traitor because he signed a treaty with Arafat, who, in his eyes, is an infidel, basically (though he doesn't use that particular word).

It's not an accurate portrayal. Yigal Amir is affiliated with the extreme right, hating secular jews and believing in the biblical borders of a "complete" Israel. I just think he is a psychopath. We have them too :D He is despised for what he did. Rabin was a great man, a courageous man.

That's exactly how he was portrayed: as a psychopath.

You would have agreed 100% with the film.

I agree that Begin and Rabin were great men.
