Labrat and the fiesta guy - you bring back my old beliefs that there is still hope ants will one day outsmart the human kind.
Fiesta - you are watching too much Egyptian, Dubai and Al-ghazira TV. Let me assure you its not a Jewish custom to drink young christian (or arab = new version) kids blood.. [I could be lying though
]
Final line.
Israel is a shining beacon of light in the Middle East.
ALL other regimes in the Middle East are dark evil regimes (who happen to be Muslim --- but dark regardless) that are better gone or changed rapidly or deeply. People should find better ways to live than in dark countries like that.
Israel is a democracy - a concept so fragile in this world - especially in the Middle East. Israel is backed by US weapons and smartly so. US interests dictate that and will always do. It?s a good thing and Israel is happy with it.
As to US being good friends with shitload of Arab-Muslim countries because of their backing of Israel - A lot of tourists in Bali and their families from many countries - are happy with their so good friendship with Muslims and Arab countries and regimes. A lot of Australians who never backed Israel are dancing joyfully with the all-mighty - celebrating their friendship with the Arab world (that is a black humor if someone failed to notice).
By all standards - Israel is a free country - democracy. A nation which has mourned the death if Yitzhak Rabin, the death of 9/11 (labrat - even the none-Jews) and the death of President Sa?adat (yes ? a Muslim Arab). It?s in the capacity of Israelis ? you see.
Israel is full with good people. Israel is full with smart people (smart enough to take labrat tax money
? though I don?t think one pays tax if got no income ? right?). Israel is full with compassionate people. Indeed, there are some evil, stupid, dumb-ass mother fuckers as well, but while we live in a democracy ? nothing can be done against those.
Israel is often short of actively defending herself ? due to many political pressures. Israel should take down (and I don?t mean exile ? I mean through full use of the nifty American weapons) Arafat?s regime including all surrounding supporting mechanisms. The fact that the government fails to do so pisses a lot of democratic voters in Israel who wish otherwise and comforts some other voters who believe otherwise (but still get butchered ? like the two 4-5 y/o kids living in a peace supporting Kibutz alongside with their mother, by a Arab/Muslim ?peace loving? ?freedom-fighter? with an American M16 gun from close range). But it also fills Israelis with a feeling of trust in their country that sometimes you think before you act ? even if the inactive conclusion may sometimes prove over the long-term as a mistake.
Labrat ? you have very little time to try to convince your president and 70% of your fellow ?average? Americans that taking out a Muslim Arab country leaver (Sadam) is a bad move towards the friendship you are so much craving for. Good luck. God help you avoid one-sidedness and two-faced hypocritical behavior.
