Beyond the realm of Islam, and especially within Christendom (the secularized West), and most especially since 9-11 and the London Tube bombings, that criticism isn't quite as widespread as you would like to think. Frankly, recent Gallup polls here in the US tell us that American support for Isreal is at an all-time high.And if that means spending a century kicking nasty Arab ass and chucking them out of old Jewish ancestral and spiritual lands, well, then, that's what they're going to do.
Regardless of what you or I or anyone else says.
Don't like it? Feel free to try and stop them.
You won't be the first to get your teeth kicked in, trying.
Israel is what we have made her.
She intends to survive and thrive - on her own terms - and to stand against all comers.
Far better to compassionately help to relocate the Palestinians and to compensate the Palestinians and to help them begin to build new lives elsewhere.
Or you can pick up that rifle and fight the Israelis.
Good luck with that.
It is attitudes like yours that explain world-wide criticism and hatred of Israel...
1. I am not an Israeli."...Something you and other Israelis constantly cry about..."
2. I do not cry (protest) about such things; rather, I embrace and accept what little there is; knowing that it's offset by a far greater support for Israel, in the US, and much of the West.
1. I do not cry (protest) about world opinion."...You cry about the world not loving Israel and then call for the violent ethnic cleansing of non-Jews in the West Bank..."
2. I do agree that expelling the West Bank and Gazan Muslim-Arab Palestinians, and shoving them across the border into Jordan, Lebanon, etc., is the only way to cut the Gordian Knot - but at least the Pals will still be alive at the end - as opposed to their swearing to drown the Jews in the Mediterranean.
OK."...If you want to know why much of the world hates Israel, read your own posts and have a good look in the mirror..."
Next slide, please.
Israel does not practice apartheid; they wall-off a hostile population segment of non-citizens for safety's sake."...It is because of attitudes like yours that Israel's Apartheid regime in the West Bank gets a free pass..."
Oh, most Israel supporters (myself included) have plenty of respect for both international law and morals. It's just that Israel's survival and well-being and the completion of their goal of Reconquista - so that they finally have a defensible and sustainable bolt-hole to call their own - trumps any legal silliness that might otherwise bar the way. As to morals, well, that is, indeed, a distressing but necessary compromise, in order to correct the cosmic injustices inflicted upon the Jews over time. Consider it a painful penance."...You and others have no respect for international laws or morals..."
I have not suffered."...You think you are above it all due to your history of suffering. You believe your history of suffering makes you immune from all international norms and laws..."
My people have not suffered.
Both sides of my Irish-German mixed-mutt hybrid non-practicing Roman Catholic family have been in the States since the 1800s.
And, other than having picked-up a Jewish brother-in-law in the early 1990s, Judaism doesn't touch me personally at all.
As to believing the Jews of Israel to be above international law, I believe no such thing; I'm merely willing to look the other way out of necessity until they complete their own Reconquista; then the rules are back 'on'.
You are welcome."...But I want to thank you as I know truly understand why many people hate Israel."
Thus endeth the lesson.
