That is all true, of all the countries in the ME Israel is probably one of the few that I would live in.
However, most of the criticism, at least the one that isn't "kill the Jews" type, comes from Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the apartheid-like conditions that are there. There you can't talk about Hamas and the rockets killing children because there are none as Israel is in full control of the area.
- joelbluminator 5y agoI oppose the settlements completely but the military hold on the West Bank isn't evil or irrational. We need to be honest - the chances of the PLO to survive without being overrun by Hamas are very slim without Israeli presence and assistance. Having another Hamas state in the West Bank is a very very bad development that Israel wants to avoid. And yes, the settlers are taking advantage of this dynamic to keep trying to realize their crazy dream - a dream most Israelis have zero empathy for.
