    Well, we did it with the Indians. But one thing the Holocausters don't want you to hear is that they were murderous Bolsheviks trying to overthrow capitalism and democracy in Germany (just like they had in Russia) up to and including WWII.

    I feel positive because against all odds they survive, against all threats they persevere, and because they are the only ones standing up against Islam's attempt to destroy the True God of Abraham.

    Muslim lobby groups are stronger the reason why the USA and the West support Israel is because the Muslim lobbyist demands are all too inhuman, not rational and not practical.

    I was referring to the videos of Palestine,before and after.

    And,I am not sure what you mean by,"We and I have not done anything.." I thought your videos should be shared and did not want to take advantage.

    I have very strong feelings about the Zionists of today doing the same thing to others that was done to them. None of us can live forever on hate of what happened to our ancestors. All of us would be nuts.

    I also see with the election good Jewish people have spoken loud and clear.That is good. Just like us getting rid of the neocoss here!

    How dare you judge the Palestinian people for any desires they allegedly have to see "Israel wiped off the map".
    Perhaps once you have the territory of your people occupied and stolen by colonialist, fanatically religious scumbags with the full support of the imperialist powers, and your people routinely murdered and beaten and their personal property outright stolen as part of the brutal regime of repression not dissimilar to how the Nazis treated Jewish people, you might begin to understand that it's entirely fair for them to wish that the cancerous tumor known as Israel cease to exist.

    One of the most eloquent 25 seconds I have read on this subject, ever. Damn skippy Israel has a lot to answer for as does every single 'developed' and/or otherwise nation on the gosh darn planet. Absolutely starting with recognizing Palestine. Yet no one can sweep away the very real situation of annihilation that is the destiny of Israel if all the neighbors have their way.

    Speaking of America's involvement, of course it is self-serving and at the same time, a very real necessity. Someone has to be monitoring to whatever degree can be managed what the heck is going on in what is one of the single most 'hot spots' on the planet. Besides, the Israelis are quite handy at testing American military toys. Come on, that kind of field testing is priceless!

    My opinion of the Israeli government is rather negative, while my opinion of Israel as a country is mostly positive.

    I strongly disapprove of the infusion of religion into government, encroachments by settlers into Palestinian territories, efforts by some residents to shoulder Palestinians out of East Jerusalem, abuses against civilians - including at security checkpoints, the lack of an implemented two-state solution right now, past actions to suppress freedom of expression and academia in Palestine, efforts to restrict the movement of Palestinians - in part making it very difficult for many folk to get work and earn a living, and the country's insistence on Iran not developing nuclear weapons when Israel itself possesses dozens of them (and could probably deliver them to any of their enemies via submarine launched cruise missiles). It also does not help that I dislike the electorally-popular Likud party whilst favoring the seemingly unpopular Meretz most of all.

    On the other hand, now that Israel exists and this much time has passed by... I think it is unreasonable for the country to be dissolved or for Palestinian refugees leftover from decades ago to go back home. There are now a lot of people living in Israel who had nothing at all to do with the plights of an earlier generation of denizens. I also sympathize a great deal with Israeli concerns regarding security, appreciate the fact that they have achieved consolidated democracy, love their folk music, and admire the proficiency with which they have defended themselves from outside aggressors. I do not wish any violence to befall the Israeli people, have warm regards for them, acknowledge that they have a number of highly respectable, legitimate concerns in their ongoing conflict with Palestine, and do not bear ill-will toward Jews in general.

    In the conflict itself I identify more strongly with the Palestinians but only their non-violent moderates, in addition to their counterparts on the Israeli side. What puts me off most in the case of both countries is their vocal minorities of religious fundamentalists and extremists. Although I believe the Israeli people and their government will need to make a somewhat larger number concessions than the Palestinians at this point to achieve a just and lasting peace, I don't consider myself antisemitic and am only anti-Zionist insofar as I reject the desirability of a Jewish (as opposed to secular) state in Israel.

    I support Israel for the reasons you've said.

    The naysayers either just have an anti-Semitic agenda, or a pro-Palestinian/Muslim bias, or both. But you have to completely spin and distort the facts to make Israel look like the overall "bad guy" up against Palestine.

    no surprise with him and those others that said they like Israel.its obvious what their agenda here is at this site.Interesting that they enjoy murderers of americans and innocent women and children abroad.


    thats obvious with the attack on what vessel was it in the 60's they blew up and destroyed?


    they love israel despite these facts here.they of course wont watch the video or read the facts in those two links you posted as well since it proves how evil the government of israel is.

    I agree I support israel because they arent the ones that want us annihilated. All the people that bemoan the plight of the palestinians are just trying to disguise their anti semetic agenda.
    The oil rich arab world that is richer than we are needs to find a home and give the palestinians all the aid they need, not rockets and missle launchers to send hundreds sailing into israel every year.
    Its not israel calling for the total annilation of islamic countries its the other way around. Personally I pay zero attention to the israel haters and will continue to do so, until they come up with something tangible for me to dislike them for an not whining that they are killing those that constantly try to kill them.

    TO THE EDITORS OF NEW YORK TIMES:

    Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.

    Albert Einstein and others great Jewish scholars attack ZioNAZISM.



    Every TRUE American would do the same.

    I dont belive this pull asks my opinion as well, Because im sword of byest because im from Israel but what the hell.

    There are israelis who feel negative about Israel, there are those israelies who supports the palestinians, who are trying to make israel look bad, and succesfully do so because of our very bad media who also apears to be mostly anti-israel.
    I could have easily turned out to be one of those people who hate my own country, But I didnt.
    Why? most people who are like that where burn in center Israel, mostly Tel-Aviv, all reach people, who are disconnected from the rest of the world, didnt join the army and never suffered war, So they belive what they see on the daily news, which is deceving and never really shows the important stuff but only the pro-arabic stuff, which iritates me.

    Israel is the only long-time functioning democracy in this area, There is labanon, But since Hizbala is there I dont think I can call them a "Functioning Democracy", Israel is a western advanced civilized country, who supports freedom of speach, thats why people like Ahmed Tibi and Hanin Zoabi wined up inside our government, and are actually pro-palestinians who hates israel and calls terorists "Freedome Fighters", I would like to see another country lets 2 traitors be a part of their goverment, i guess the sone "Rak Beisrael"(Only In Israel) was written on this sort of things.
    Israel contains people from all religions, Arabs, Muslim, Jews, Christians, Budahist and everything you can imagine, there are 2 million arabs living inside israeli borders! and even though i am againts palestinians, that does not mean i am a racist who hates arabs, I have arab friends, I know very nice and funny arabs, I even shot a Film with arabs and then set to dinner with them, so I dont think you can call israelies racists.

    What you see on your news is what you think is really going on, You see the bad things on your news, because they will tell you if two crazy soldiers flipped out and attacked a palestinian handicaped kid(i was totaly againts that) but they wont tell you if a crazy palestinian would attack israeli kids on the streets, because they know people hate israel and they dont you to see pro-israel stuff, But i think its time to stop listening to the mass-media(i stopped a long time ago) and start seeing the real world, maybe you feelings towards Israel will change then, even though I belive it wont, Because this how you were raised.
