do all the people think that Israel good country?

Answer 1

No it is a bad country, a very bad country.

I'm not going to do an Ahmedinejad and say it should be wiped off the map but, you know...

Answer 2

Loaded question. I would say that the United States tends to like Israel because we tend to help them out politically. However, the country and the Jews have lots of enemies for religious reasons over history. Wars start over religion and one of the oldest rivalries is Jews and Muslims.

Israel gets alot of support since it was formed to repay the millions of Jewish families that lost their family in WWII. Not saying this is right or wrong (I am not going to start a discussion on this here)....but it is why the country was established. This makes many very uncomfortable and it is a very sensitive issue for many other countries. Many do not like Israel because they believe it belongs to the Palestinians.

Now is the country good? Is any country good or bad? Not really a fair question. Fact is that good and bad occurs in any country and it depends on if you support the events that occur.

I would say that Israel is a beautiful country with cultures and peoples that are noble. Jerusalem belongs to everyone and it is unfortunate that it will probably be a place of disagreement for the rest of history. Everyone wants to claim Israel as theirs. Good or bad.

Answer 3

the palestinians are just defending themselves.

Haganah militiamen expel Palestinian Arabs from Haifa, April 1948. (Agence France Presse)

On July 11, 1948, Aharon Cohen, director of the Arab Affairs Department of the socialist-Zionist Mapam party in Israel, received a carbon copy of a military intelligence report. Israel, a state less than two months old, was embroiled in a war with neighboring Arab states that would last until 1949. The document in Cohen’s hands analyzed the reasons for the flight of 240,000 Palestinian Arabs from areas which had been allocated to the Jewish state by the November 1947 UN partition plan and another 150,000 from the Jerusalem region and areas allocated to the Arab state. Cohen was upset to read the report’s conclusion that 70 percent of these Arabs had fled due to “direct, hostile Jewish operations against Arab settlements” by Zionist militias, or the “effect of our hostile operations on nearby (Arab) settlements.”[1] One month before Cohen received this report, Mapam’s political committee had issued a resolution opposing “the tendency to expel the Arabs from the Jewish state,” in response to Cohen’s warnings that such operations were taking place.

Over the course of Arab-Jewish fighting between 1947 and 1949, well over 700,000 Palestinians were made refugees, the majority of them by direct expulsion or the fear of expulsion or massacre. The largest single expulsion occurred after Israeli conquest of the towns of Lydda and Ramla in the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv corridor during July 9-18, 1948. Some 50,000 Palestinians were driven out of their homes in these towns by Israeli forces whose deputy commander was Yitzhak Rabin, prime minister of Israel from 1974-1977 and 1992-1995. Some two dozen massacres of Palestinians were perpetrated by pre-state Zionist militias and Israeli forces, the most infamous of them on April 9-10, 1948, at the village of Deir Yassin.
