Help[Opinions] Re: Israel... (M)
in reply to a message by Anneza
How can? That's like saying John & Mary & inappropriate on non Christians. Israel literally means : He who wrestled with God. Perhaps it's the meaning behind the name? It seems like Americans think too much and end up knowing too little.

Uh, no. It's more like saying Christian is inappropriate on non-Christians, even though Christian derives from 'anointed one'...because Israel and "Children of Israel" have been used to refer to Jews. I've only seen Israel used as a name by American Christians, but I do think it's a bit strange when people disregard cultural context completely.
