Question 
Why do you think Israel is always in the news?
July 30, 2014 at 4:22 pm
This country Israel, about the size of New Jersey, always seems to make headlines. Why not Jamaica or Iceland? Any thoughts? Thinking

Constant wars, violation of human rights by all sides, etc.

Are you trying to claim that because it's mentioned in the bible that's the reason?

The whole Middle East is constantly in the news, and the cradle of our civilization - Mesopotamia - is also in the region.

All hail Gilgamesh.

Maybe because there is a fucking war going on? I don't know. Maybe you should actually pay attention to what the news is fucking saying instead of sitting there like a muppet asking the question of why they're in the news. Dumbass.

Very petty.

I guess it's an excuse not to make an answer.

Hey, Rev. I'm Australian.

Do you hate us too, or will you answer my question?

Ooh! Ooh! I know! *raises hand*

Because...the bible?

Jamaica and Iceland are not bordered on all sides by hostile countries, nor do they contain nearly 2 million displaced people.

It isn't very mysterious.
