(1,909 posts)"Obviously" you are confused and pointlessly angry. I see that in a lot of your posts.
You support the war, but not Netanyahoo. That's bull.
That there are some Hamas members among the population is no excuse to wage a starvation campaign against them all. Many Gazans are innocent victims of Hamas.
In Hebrew school I was taught that we are God's (scuze me, G_d's chosen people) and Israel is our homeland.
I lived among the orthodox whose philosophy was Israel first, America second. They all voted for GW Bush solely because they believed Republicans were stronger on Israel. They also staunchly believe that the Earth is a mere 6000 years old, that women's bodies are inherently dirty, and that Noah's arc was real. The Hasidim I knew looked down on the mere orthodox, who looked further down on the more secular Jews.
Netanyahoo frequently makes references to Jewish history and destiny to justify the stealing of land.
I believe in Israel's right to exist, but only within its current borders. Not one parcel beyond.
