What is your unbiased opinion of Israel?

Question

My fiance says I'm a nut to believe anything bad that I hear/read (he's Jewish). My friend is from Egypt and has told me a few things that haven't been made the news here.

I do know that I have seen a documentary of 2 soldiers killing a woman in front of her 2 kids because she was not cooperating (inside their home). Afterwards they interviewed the soldiers and they said "I don't feel bad for it, I don't have to justify it".

But, Israeli's do have to be a bit nuts to live where they do. Sandwiched between crazy countries!

Answer 1

i have no problem with the state of Israel , or the Jewish religion , and i have no problems with the Palestinians, or there religion. i think they can work there problems out with out guns , but both sides don't want to. i do believe we ( the us) should stop sending them money though, but I'm against most foreign aid. so its not just sending cash to Israel

Answer 2

you don't want to know my unbiased opinion (you wouldn't agree because you're young)

anyway, they have been through a lot of bad stuff. The problem I have with them is that they get treated as if they are the only people that have suffered. Many other countries and cultures have been through as much or more and don't get the help that Isreal gets. Since WWII America has given them so much aid that they can't use it all.

If you knew one tenth of what Isreal has done to 'defend' itself you would not be their friend or ally. A young girl from the US went to protest the destruction of Palestinian housing and when she stood in front of a bulldozer, the Isreali ran over and killed her.

I think you have a good point. Most people (Americans included) would have moved to get away from areas like theirs, but as long as America will support them without limit, they can stay and destroy all their enemies.

I don't know any Jewish people because I work for a living, so I can't speak from personal knowledge. I have been told that there are two kinds of Jews (Hassidic and Israeli) and that they are as different as night and day.

Hassidic Jews are the diamond peddlers of New York (with the curls on their cheecks and black hats) and Israelis, of course, live in Israel.

I'm not a radical or anything, so I don't care what they do, but I think we give them too much.

Answer 3

You say that your fiance is Jewish and I am assuming that since you are engaged that you love him. If you want to know more about the Jewish people, their history, and the state of Israel then go to the library or a book store and read some books. Form your own opinion, don't listen to some of these losers who know nothing about Judaism or the state of Israel. They repeat stories that are very often lies, exagerations or propaganda by people that hate Jews. As for your Egyptian friend and his knowledge of Israel, if you wanted to know about the United States or Christianity would you ask Osama Bin Ladin? I hope you know a bit more about your fiance's religion before you get married to him.

Answer 4

Remember what happen to the Jews before it was Israel? they had no place to go. The ships were turned away by America, they were turned away at all borders from free countries.
They had to fight for their very existence to survive. I have a great respect for these people, their struggle, their lives, had God came down today and told me he was going to make me Jewish in Israel, I wound not be intimidated,I would accept.

They are a people to be respected, they will be on our right hand side should we ever need them in our fight against terrorism.
Yes. there are stories but, you don't judge a people by a few incidents.
Look at the Marines that have been charged and found guilty, should you charge all our men and women because of a few?

Answer 5

They stole their land from Palestinians and created a fascist police state. It's an occupation. If Germany found out that 10,000 years ago their people lived in present day Austria and displaced Austrian people and built a fascist police state there, the world would be outraged. But for the Jews its ok?
6 million jews died in WW2, ok. 8 million Germans died and 10 million Russians died. I don't see that as justification for taking the Palestinians land.

Answer 6

some facts:
-if israelis suffered in Europe ,why eurpeans allowed them to setelle in any country there or in germany? becasue europeans wanted to get rid of jews from Europe
-read books and search for this correct information to make sure it is right : zionists supported germans in the holocouse to get rid of hungarian jews who were poor and get propaganda to help their project which is immigrating a big number of jews from around the world to palestine especially the richest jews to occupy palestine.
-they always say others attack them BUT they attAcked and occupied lands from neighbouring countries on 1956,1967,1982,on 1973 Egyptians and syrians attacked to liberate their occupied lands
-i have no any problem to deal with jews but i am against zionism and the agressive behaviour of ISRAEL.

Answer 7

I feel Israel is an evil country. After months of research i have found them to be excluded from many international laws,taking of land that is not theirs by expanding their borders, demolishing peoples homes and business, ruthless killing of innocent reporters, killing of palestine civilians. They are subsidized by US and backed completely in any situation.
