Is this much different from going on jihad?

[Goofball]

Pick a country , Syria , Mexico , India , N.Korea , makes no difference .
Would you like a comparison for your own country to think about to put things in a different perspective ?

I already have many. Canadians have been fighting for other countries' armies in defence of ideals since Canada was born. I have no problem with it.

Your senses can sometimes lead you astray Goof .
Since others have mentioned that particular topic in this thread why do you have doubts because I say it as well ?
Perhaps you can ask the mods who firstly moved it from the frontroom and then closed the topic to direct you to it .
For a brief reminder it was a condolance thread for a "great man" who welcomed and praised the attacks as a sign that the day was coming to purge all non-Jews and false Jews from the holy land in accordance with g*ds word .

Now since that poster seems to like those teachings and intends going to the Holy land to do his duty perhaps the opening poster in this topic isn't to far off with his Jihad comparison .
Since his signature that he used was the slogan of a group that is not only banned as terrorist organisation in Israel it is also banned in Britain , America , France , Germany, Canada..........it does add weight to the comparison doesn't it .

Sorry, I just figured out what you were talking about with respect to the original poster. I wasn't aware of the previous thread so it took a bit of research on my part (and was not helped by your speaking in cryptic riddles and references).

So yes, in terms of the specific individual this thread is referring to, there may be validity to the Jihad comparison if his intent is to try to "purge non-Jews from the Holy Land." If his intent is simply to do what he sees as his duty to defend Israel, then the Jihad comparison is not valid.

I have been basing my comments in this thread on this statement of the thread's subject (from the OP):

"I wont join the british army but i will join the IDF (Israeli defence force) when i make Aliya (Going up - immergrating) to Israel".

There is nothing in that statement that leads me to believe that the Jihad comparison is valid.

Why did America have a problem with the Eagle squadrons ? Britain wasn't at war with the US was it .
Why did America earlier change the legislation to cover Spain as well ?
Why did it go to great lengths to be able to deny that it was breaking its own laws regarding the Sino-japanese war ?

I don't care if the U.S. had a problem with the Eagle Squadrons (though I don't believe they had any grounds to object to them). As you are fond if reminding me, the question in the original post was:

"I'm wondering, what are the ethics of someone, presumably currently a British citizen, proclaiming his loyalty to another country, with the stated aim of joining that other country's military in the future? How should the British government view this? How should the average British citizen view this?"

My opinion is that the British government should not have a problem with it, because they have in the past been on the other end of the handshake, and because this guy joining the IDF poses no threat to Britain.
