Frankly, I don't know what you're going on about. I never claimed that there weren't Israeli Arabs in political positions. I said that an egalitarian state in Palestine with no favored religion or ethnicity is unrealistic at this point.
You called Israel an ethnocentric government! Maybe you don't know what the words you use mean, but I picked up on it. So answer this, excluding Lebanon, how could tiny Israel have more Arabs in this government (even anti-state ones) than the how Arab, Turkish and Persian world has Jews, Christians, Budahist and Hindus in their's?
Choose your words clearly before you spout off ignorance!
Why would you want to participate in a military force that has probably killed your friends or members of your family?
They won't stand up to protect their country, but you wonder why an Israeli Jew might not want them running the country interesting.
This is also BULLSHIT comment. Killing a family member, nice red herring comment!
I believe Israel is the subject of the discussion.
Oh PLEASE joker, you never get in the discussion bashing other country, you still to your Muslim oath to defame Israel any chance you get. You dodge any bashing of Sudan, because that is your Muslim brothers kills "*******" who are just a set above Jews in your eyes!
Moreover, most developed nations don't seem to have enlistment policies that are based on ethnicity.
LOL, I think all Israelis should be made to serve in the army. Why should Israeli Arabs get off the hook? They do it out of respect for the Israeli Arabs, since they would be up in arms, but any Israeli has full rights to enlist in the military. So once against your ignorance is showing!
Uh... no. If I wanted to listen to political ramblings during prayer times, I'd skip the mosque and read posts here.
Sure you don't!
Collective punishment is justifiable?
The Hamas terrorist, as do the Hezbollah terrorist, hide amongst the populace. They fire their missles from populated areas. See below where your's and Shogun's terrorist heros fire their missiles from. Hamas wants collateral damage. Any child that gets killed is worth millions in PR for them. Hamas takes the fight to the populace.
It would be convenient if the terrorist wore uniforms like a regular army or had big signs on their back, but they don't. Now Israel had 2 choices, since continuing to allow the daily missile attacks was unacceptable: (1) Reoccupy Gaza (which you would have cried like a little girl over or (2) a massive land and air operation (lesser of 2 evils). Fighting in any civilian dense population, esp a city, is going to produce collateral damages. Its inevitable!
Yeah, that's why I live in a country where about 99% of the population doesn't share my religious beliefs.
What are those beliefs? America is the enemy! America is a terrorist state! Iran is the pillar of society! Islamic terrorist are heros! Jews are pigs and monkeys! The Magnificent Nineteen are Islamic Heros! Nope I think many on the far left share your beliefs
I don't consider it worth the trouble.
You miss out due to your prejudice!
I was only mentioning states that don't accept passports with Israeli stamps.
Sure it is!
