Amen Gambino, that is as close to the truth as you can say it IMO.
Ok, I am again not gonna bother answering Dirk, I may as well discuss politics with a 2 year old...
GD, I really think you have serious issues with reality, or understanding humanity. THE STRONG GUY GETS TO SAY WHAT HAPPENS...
America are doing it to the whole world, not that I am saying it is ok, or that I agree with it but they do. If America were to demand that Israel does something, we would probably be forced to do it and would do it. WHY? Coz we are not stupid. Duh.
Now, in many cases America has kinda demanded we do things that are not in our interest and we said no, but we managed to keep them happy with us. WHY? Coz we are not stupid. And, we have our strong jewish lobby there. WHY? It is a matter of survival...
This is something you do not seem to understand. Or the palestinians for either... which is my point.
We are the victim in the middle east, but we are since 73 the superior victim, and when it comes to the palestinians, or actually any other arab nation, we have stopped being the victims.
Now stop a second and use the intelligence that you obviously do actually possess and ask yourself... How is it that against all odds Israel is in the condition it is in.
well?
Definitely not by being good sports to the palestinians. That is not a comfort we have, even though self righteous people like you demand it.
I am sure you will in your annoying way break up this post into 50 thousand quotes and reply to each one in an argumentative way, but if you want to actually have an intelligent conversation and try to understand what an Israeli who is not a blood hungry demon like you so want to beleive we are, thinks, then answer me back in not such an aggressive, way. You have proven to me so far that you do not understand anything about the situation here, it is not black and white, at all. I am willing to discuss it with you if you are capable of trying to understand what it would be like to be Israeli.
I have tried to understand what it would be like to be a palestinian, and I think it changed a lot of how I saw things myself, but it did not make me blind either. So I am sure you can try see how it would be like to be an Israeli without being blinded, it will be harder for you there in Aussie land, than it was for me here in the heart of the situation, but at least you have nothing to lose.

Anyway my point is that if you wanted to even try understand us from a humane point of view or from seeing the facts as they are, you would not be pointing the finger so hard. It is so obvious that the situation here is much more dynamic but also to a westerner like you it is also obvious that:
Israel is a democracy surrounded by peeps who want to push them into the sea.
Imagine that?
