Israel is weak, and it makes me sick. It is weak in dealing with the world, with the UN, with its enemies, etc. No wonder there is so much anti-Israel feeling. Israel has lost its respect.

perhaps you are not aware that the font in a red colour is sort of the "domain" of administrators and moderators and used by them for the function of administrating and moderating. they do not use it in their ordinary posts.
the readers have become accustomed to that practise and as a courtesy to them/us, you may want to discontinue using it in your posts.
i am sure this was not your intent and i would PM you normally but it does serve as a reminder to other posters.
i think that israel has lost its respect among the countries of the world is not because it is weak but, instead, because it is extraordinarily inconsiderate, duplicitous, and dismissive of the feelings and values of other countries.
seriously, i almost cry sometimes, and i shake my head at their stupidity when it comes to diplomacy. maybe it is the culture but i am baffled. like i said, i shake my head.
