SYMPATHY/RESPECT for ISRAEL and the JEWS (INSIDE)?

Question

Should we, and the rest of the world symathize for/respect the Israelis? I would say yeah. Why? My reason for believing this is because they're the main target (along w/ America) for Islamic extemests, and all those anti-west countries like Iran and Syria. Ever since the founding of the new Jewish state after WWII, those Islamic countries have looked to destroy it, and of course, Israel has kicked their @ss in every single solitary conflict... that just proves how much better they are then them. Anyways, how do u feal about sypathy, and respect for Isarael, as well as anti-semetism?
.....keep the peace.....

And uh. BIA BIA, Zionists have HAD to be opposed to the Muslums over there. ALL those sandmonkeys over there want to do is get rid of Israel ever since its founding after WWII. Shame, shame, shame on you for not pointing THAT out. And hey, Asian guy! Israel has survived because they have 10x the balls that the Muslums do and kick there @ss all the time. Did u ever hear about Israel's victory when they were first founded after WWII and had to fight off thousands of Arabs who invaded their country BY THEMSELVES... i guess not. Another thing Israel is kind to their neighbors, or at least they try to be. Take a look at this article i found:
http://www.meforum.org/article/43 (u may have to copy and paste it to the address box)

Another thing too, i like the idea that all the Israeli boys are required to serve in the military. It teaches them discipline for life, that's why their military is so good, u can't discredit them and say that they survived solely on U.S. backing neither, just for that reason. I think the U.S. should have something like that too.

Answer 1

The Israelis deserve absolute respect. They built up a country, and made Israel what it is. They've been chased out numerous times, and this time they are here to stay. Israel has backbone.

Hey Bia, you said the you respect the Jews that follow the Torah. That's exactly what is happening in Israel - we are living in the land that was promised to us in THE TORAH. By your own logic, the Zionists have EVERY right to be there. We don't, however, send homicide (suicide) bombers, though

Michael - the problem has nothing to do with lack of freedom of religion. That's is a non-existent issue.

Answer 2

I think the Israelies deserve alot more respect then they get. They deal with conflict in the best way possible. When chezbolla shot rockets into their country and kidnapped their soldiers (whom are STILL missing) for the sole purpose of instigating a war israel retaliated and sent out pamphlets telling the civilians to evacuate beforehand. of course the world got very angry even though they had a total right to retaliate. If america was hit we would not have just stood idly by.The islamic extremists Blow themselves up just to kill israelies. They dance in the street when this happens (And also when america was hit on Sep 11) They dont care about killing civilians but Isrealies are very careful not to bomb any hospitals or schools....

Answer 3

Very little respect and sympathy for the state since it abuses all sorts of human rights but for jews of course.You should be free to worship the way you want to and let others do the same.It is really a difficult question...

Answer 4

The restoration of the desolate and deserted Land of Israel began in the latter half of the XIX century with the arrival of the first Jewish pioneers. Their labors created newer and better conditions and opportunities, which in turn attracted migrants from many parts of the Middle East, mainly Arabs. but also Circassians, Kurds and others.

The Balfour Declaration of 1917, confirmed by the League of Nations, committed the British government (which took control of the Holy Land after having defeated the Ottoman Turks) to the principle that "His Majesty's government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish National Home, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object".

It was specified both that this area be open to "Jewish settlement" and that the rights of all inhabitants already in the country be preserved and protected. The "Mandate of Palestine" as it was called the British-occupied land originally included all of present-day Jordan, as well as the whole of Israel, and the so-called "territories" between them--actually, the Jordan river and the Dead Sea are the only "territories" between Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom

Answer 5

The land of Canaan should be split in half. The northern half would be Palestine and the southern half Israel.

Both side would be disarmed, by force if necessary.

In the middle occupying Jerusalem would be the new U.N. HQ with a corridor that divides these lands from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.

Stationed there should be 300,000 man multi-national Rapid Reaction Force capable of delivering a serious smack down to ANYONE in the region that acts out of line.

This solution creates peace in the region and gets the U.N. out of New York .

Answer 6

Anyone with half a moral conscience should have sympathy and respect for Israel and the Jews.

Just check out what they've done, taking a desolate backwater of the world and bringing it back to life.

Answer 7

I have respect for the true Jews in Israel and elsewhere. The Jews that are truly good people and follow the Torah. As for the Zionists in Israel, they will all go straight to HELL for taking a land that is not theirs and killing the indigenous people of Palestine. Can't really say I blame them for taking the opportunity though. Most of the Russian and Polish Jews that flood Israel had it really bad. Now they have low cost housing, top notch US financed military protection and a new place to call "home". All they have to do is sacrifice their children to serve as henchmen in the IDF and kill a handful of Palestinians. What religion are they practicing? Sure not Judaism. When power and greed control the aspects of your daily lives, Israelis, you must take a step back and find your conscience. Just as Hitler was brought down, so will the Zionist rule of Palestinian land. Just a matter of time my friends, just a matter of time. For shame, for shame, for shame.

Answer 8

Israeli occupation is the main reason those terrorists are what they are.
Zionism is the main cause of antisemitism, even though all Jews are not Zionists.
Israel has survived only because of American support.

Thats it.

Answer 9

Poor Jews are gathered by rich Jews in a war zone country forever.
