- Cyph0n 10y agoI respect what they have been able to achieve given their situation (geographic location, limited resources, small population). As I said in the beginning, I am completely against the illegal settlements, the blockade of Gaza, and other similar issues. I regard my fellow Palestinians as brothers and sisters. That doesn't mean that I cannot respect what Israel has been able to build.
- zpatel 10y agoI as a muslim too respect jews and israelis as a hardworking , intelligent community but that does not mean we need to agree with everything they do as righteous .
- wallace_f 10y agoI feel the same way. Unfortunately every criticism of Israel is equated with anti-semitism which is ridiculous.
- akoster 10y agoI don't think there is a government that has ever existed that has not made a mistake. As an American, I can proudly criticize specific actions of my government I may disagree with, but I still feel, despite its flaws, generally does relative good for a majority of its people and the world. I feel similar about the Israeli government. Yes, they too, like the American government, and <insert other government here>, have made decisions not so well-received in the past, and likely in the future. But overall, I feel the Israeli government, like the American government, does much more good for its people and in the world than otherwise. Despite how you feel about the Israeli government, I cannot think of another government that takes in wounded people, who may be willing to risk their lives to destroy your very government, and provides medical aid without question.
- wallace_f 10y agoWhat do you mean by 'despite how I feel about the Israeli government?
