You cannot be so negative about it.
The problem stems from the fact we never hear or see any good come out of any country in that region.
Sure Dubai is the flavour of the month ATM but that's only because we as a society worship wealth.
The rest of the middle East is just murder & death.
I myself hve posted many times we should just pull the camera's out & let you kill each other off.
It does not help that interests of both sides manipulate our media & politicians either for gain, whether monetary or sympathy.
It may not be true but in regards to Israel & the Palestinians you look like the Ghetto guards of the Nazi's.
The persecuted have become the persecutors. As an unqualified comment, as a personal point of view, I find those remarks both offensive and insensitive. It's quite obvious that none of your family had any experience in the death camps - can you say the same for Avram's family?
In the 58 years since its establishment, the state of Israel has proven that there is life and hope in the sands of the Middle East without the benefit of the oil deposits exploited by other countries in the region. They've achieved their statehood by sheer hard work and a refusal to be bullied by enemies on every side.
From where do you draw your comparisons?
At this very moment we have 'Australian' citizens flying overseas to fight with Al Qaeda sympathisers in Syria! Won't they be an asset to Australia when they get back home.
Look at the crime stats in this country over the last fifteen years and then tell me, "It's the Joooooooooos!"
Shame on you! You stand at odds with the very thing that makes this country worth living in - the concept of the 'fair go'.
dont be such a wanker. Im a supporter of Israel, but that does not mean everything they do is righteous. thge inability to accept criticism or suggestion of any kind is not a great characteristic of Israelis. Avram's attitude towards justice is appalling and the very reason why the violence continues. The camps the Israelis run may not be anything like the nazi Death Camps but they still do not win praise.
You do not have to be a Hamas supporter to criticise Israel. You only have to ahve the ability to think outside your prejudices.
