hmmm ... its about more than housing: http://www.isracast.com/article.aspx?ID=1301&t=Israel's-Summer-SRAEL'S-SUMMER-OF-DISCONTENT
The right-leaning (and in fact most left-leaning americans) have incorrectly identified the victim and underdog in this conflict because they are totally brainwashed.
Yesterdays news was interviewing a bunch of doctors and one female doctor at the hospital said that the doctors were discussing the resignation of the entire staff of doctors in that hospital. Not striking!! resigning!!! Others were being interviewed and they said they would refuse to serve in the army. That Titanic is sinking faster than I thought!
If the Jews are so evil, why aren't they running the protestors down with tanks? Why aren't they acting like Syrians? Are Syrians more evil? _
What would you solution be to an Arab invasion of Israel with a Rwanda-style genocide of Jews? Would you then want the West to send in troops at great cost in blood and treasure, or would you eat popcorn and watch? _
Good grief! Politicians make policy; this translates into what is happening in the economy, including any social manifestations. Your claim that these protests are not political is laughably naive.
Excuse me? What are you saying about "evil"... This is a Jewish protest about housing, high prices etc. Do you ever think before you post, Don?
im eating popcorn now watching the 'maturing' process of mankind. ie... the old bs of idiots will be extinct, eventually!
Israelis are protesting and angry with Bibi.. angry over high prices, lack of housing.. and support of freeloading settler fanatics.. But Don talks about invasions and Rwanda type genocide.. What madness.
I hate to burst your bubble but settlers are not freeloaders. In Israel a lot of Israeli arabs are freeloaders, some religious orthodox sects are freeloaders. You may agree or disagree with the settlers' political views but freeloaders they are not, they actually participate in the workforce and work pretty hard.
Many, many settlers will not serve in the military and will not work.. They expect to be paid to have babies and study torah. If you had a brain, you would notice that I am not protesting this fact in Israel.. its the Israelis themselves who are protesting and furious with Bibi. Deal with it.
What part of 'the protesters have economic only, not political demands' don't you understand? Good grief indeed. Their demands have nothing in common with your virulent anti-Israel agenda and views, much as you try to pretend otherwise.
How do you come up with this nonsense? Israel has a draft, everyone serves, settlers serve in bigger numbers than other groups of Israelis. The two freeloading groups that don't serve are Arabs and some religious orthdox sects (Haredi, some Hasidic sects, Naturei Karta etc who are not settlers). Get your facts straight. Absolutely, they protest Bibi's economic policies, not his foreign policy. More power to them!
LOL, coming from someone who live in a country 100 times bigger than Israel with 100 time the population. Talking about the Titanic.
Take it up with the Israelis.. They don't like subsidizing them and they have been stating their reasons in the press for about 5 years. What is Bibi's foreign policy?
Take what up with the Israelis? I fully support their economic demands, they will make the country even stronger, more prosperous and democratic. That they don't want to subsidize freeloading Arabs and fringe religious orthodox sects is quite understandable. Who would? In a nutshell - an Israel which is safe and secure, democratic and prosperous, feared by enemies and respected by allies. Pretty much all the things you hate about Israel. He is doing fine as far as I can see. Not any better or worse than his predecessors.
OK. "Hey Syria, the religious wingnuts that took the golan, jeruselem and oppressing millions, will eventually be extinct!" anything else?
the protestors are doing just that do you comprehend what them demands are? You know, like the over exhuberant housing costs because the bigots are trying to buy up land the original owners will not sell, so the prices are sky-rocketing. There is huge funding to buy up the land the muslims are holding and because of them holding the regions prices/cost of living is going thru the roof. ie.... the bigots are hurting the people by trying to economically force the land holders to sell the religious wingnuts are the ones trying to BUY the lands from the residents. The freeloaders are the idiots migrating there from other countries that are being paid just for being jewish and willing to squat on any house, land and property the winginuts can buy from the locals. That is what the argument (protest) is about on this issue. the only thing to fear is if the wingnuts do not stop the religious quest. And the idiots who support them, are just idiots! are the wingnuts who think they are chosen by god to be in palestine and take over palestine, for god: i hate 'em all!!!!
yes they are. The moved in just because they are jews and not because having been economically viable to the region, land or economy. They are being paid by wingnuts to squat. the arabs are the bound population within the community. Many own and OWNED huge farms, businesses and have holdings from hundreds of years of family having lived there. Their homes are paid for and they will not move. That is what is driving the prices up!!!!! you have no idea what you are talking about. the freeloaders are the squatters being paid by the religious wingnuts to just live in them houses, because they are jewish. You forget, the wingnuts want to uproot the locals so the whole area will be a 'jewish' state. dood you are so bass ackwards with your argument it is stupid to even realize your opinions
