Israel

[EGross]

I know Hamas is insane and spends money on those rockets. But your government uses much heavier weapons in urban Gaza and also spends millions of dollars killing much more Palestines. .

So you say Arabs and Jews have the same rights in Israel?

I am saying that Israeli Arabs have the freedom to be doctors, vote, start a business, and even eat a pork chop if they want, pray if they want, and celebrate their faith that infringes on no one. Compare that with our neighbors. Arab-Israelis are one of the increasing demographics because of the opportunities that are available, especially for women.

What about Hamas-based terrorists who attempt to blow things up? No, we try not to let them in. And the result of their hatred trickles down into mistrust by the Israelis of the resident Arab citizens, checking their ID's extra close and checking their vehicles extra close, because they might have a non-resident family member who has other plans. If the nut cases would get out of the way, all would be so much better.

While it isn't as equal because of the mistrust, it is still a hell of a lot better than living in Lebanon or Syria, especially for the women. The nurses in the Jerusalem hospitals have a high percentage of Islamic and Arab Christian women working in that field. The medical schools and some others have lower entrance requirements for Israeli Arabs as a way of balancing the schools.

And you are also not thinking logically. You admit that you are anti-Israel because in a war, fewer of them got killed and their weapons were more accurate. I doubt that you would have redirected your hatred had it gone the other way.

That's irrational thinking on your part. I knew participating in this thread was a mistake at the offset, and believed I would regret it. Hate usually pours out rather than having a rational discussion.

I'll stick to the athiest posts.
