Gaza war did terrible things to Israeli society
Jul 26^th, 2014 at 2:35pm

Israeli society has swung so far right reasonable people are shocked at the violence and the hate rhetoric. The story below is from a Jewish Canadian.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/the-gaza-war-has-done-terrible-thing...

"... Something has broken down in Israeli society. Friends who always said they would never leave because they were too deeply rooted in the place, its language and their families are deeply worried and even despairing over the radical rightward shift of the mainstream political discourse. Several have said they were looking for opportunities abroad because they couldn’t see themselves raising their children in a country where dissent was slowly but surely being suppressed even as the national discourse hardened rightward.

Israel has always been a flawed democracy with many festering internal divisions. Its policies toward the Arab minority reflect the unresolved tension of a conflicted identity: Should Israel aspire to be a liberal democracy or a democracy for Jews? But in the five years since Benjamin Netanyahu was elected prime minister and formed a governing coalition composed of far-right, racist and anti-democratic parties, something very fundamental has changed in Israeli society. It feels as though the majority is willing to suspend essential elements of democracy in favor of Jewish nationalism. There doesn’t seem to be a place for dissent anymore..."

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

I watched the video, went to you tube and posted this comment.

So many lies and deceptions coming from Israel for years now along with ignorance and now this doesn't surprise me. Well done with the video.

Wasn't it the Israelis who grew rich off of selling opium to those fighting in world war 2? Now they use their dirty money to suppress others while feeding the media an ignorant crock as if to presume that the world around them is that stupid to believe their rhetoric..

Since Israel didnt exist until 1948, I dont think this is even possible is it?

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Again those who re occupied Israel in 1949 now how much more clear can I be and I bet your brain is still way to small to understand something so simple all by yourself. I can't say that it would come as much of a surprise Bus. You have already demonstrated deliberate ignorance on several occasions.

Avoiding the question using quasiintellectual piffle. Again I ask the question.

Oh desperately scrambling to try and put words in my mouth as well attempting to dictate my feelings I see. Pathetic.

And I already knew your brain is way too small bus. That was a given due to your obvious transparency through a slew of examples of your own deliberate ignorance as displayed here once again.
