2+2=5,

I have no respect to a population that accepts genocides and find explanations for ethnic cleansing.

the Jewish population is a peaceful population, but when Zionism changed their picture, everybody now insult Jews, When Zionism will disappear everybody wil live in peace.

"i can't respect a state that is occupying someone's land and keep building settlements" - Don't respect Palestinians then. Palestine area belongs to Jews. They were there first: Biblical, Archeological, Genetic... Do your research. This holy land was conquered by many empires but still remained Jewish, as there were still small population of Jews living in the area.



Don't care about history? How about modern definitions?Jews lived in the land and they worked the land. Out of mosquito swamps they build cities, agricultural technology...



During the war of Independence, All Muslims countries attacked Israel. they attacked Israel throughout the history, and will do so in the future. It's not about 'occupation' Pals - don't want peace - they want blood.



Canada? What did Canada do to deserve terror attacks in Toronto by Muslims? Don't buy into popular propaganda against Israel... Muslims are 1/4 of the world and growing

I think the Israelies deserve alot more respect then they get. They deal with conflict in the best way possible. When chezbolla shot rockets into their country and kidnapped their soldiers (whom are STILL missing) for the sole purpose of instigating a war israel retaliated and sent out pamphlets telling the civilians to evacuate beforehand. of course the world got very angry even though they had a total right to retaliate. If america was hit we would not have just stood idly by.The islamic extremists Blow themselves up just to kill israelies. They dance in the street when this happens (And also when america was hit on Sep 11) They dont care about killing civilians but Isrealies are very careful not to bomb any hospitals or schools....

I respect Israel !!



You know nothing about history.

Israel was Israel, is Israel will be Israel, were as you and the likes of you are new to Canada Jews have lived in Israel for over 3000 years, the arabs started coming to that country on the early 30's as a labor force.

The fact that this question could still be on her for any length of time boggles my mind.

Try this one on for size.

Do you all respect Canada, the country that refused to help US fight to defend America against the British?

Israel is the only friendly nation to Western civilization as Americans know it. Israel is the only Western ally we have.

The Israeli government is fine exactly as it is right now. Any change in the government is purely propaganda from Hamas, Al Qaeda, and the PLO.

No i do not respect Israel

They say that they are the victims because of the rockets

but if you think about it, if another country stole part of your land, i think you would fight to regain what its rightly your land. I agree with you completely.

First nations Canadians would not agree with you it was there land first ; an apology and so called compensation means nothing to the millions indigenous peoples killed in the New World including Canada.Canada also had slavery of people from Africa,on its own soil before it became a refuge for Americans slaves. Canada also built settlements & expelled the French-speaking Acadian people from the Maritime region of Canada. Also remember the Jewish people refused entry to Canada during the Holocaust , where one Canadian minister under prime minister Mackenzie King is known to have said none is to many!!.. Israel was a Jewish land before any that followed , read a history book.You are only viewing one of sided of history

To be honest I dont respect any politican in the world bcos they are all so bloody enmeshed with *** business and are totally corrupt. or even if they want to do something they cant bcos of reason already cited.

But I do respect Isreali people bcos why shudnt one? And I have met many during my (pretty frequent) travels all over the world. Whatever their views might be you have to respect the fact that they are extremely patriotic and v proud of their country. where else - in what other country - can you find such frevour for one's country? One can only envy Isreal the love its people shower on her.

I do hope their politicans will clean up their act and finally give the people what they deserve. A countryw hich is safe with borders with a palestine which is friendly.

Also I feel ring wing propogandists on both sides have done immense harm by spreading outright lies as 'history'. Isrealis shud realise no one believes that there is no palestine and there was never a country like palestine. And Palestinians shud realise that, now that they have being living here for so many years, Isrealis shudnt need to go back 2000 years to prove they are also of this land. Their commitment to it is obviously just as strong as theirs. Yes a compensation might be deserved to Palestinians and I have seen in life much can be accomplished if you just ask nicely.







EDIT: Diamant: With respect, I disagree with you - Kiammella is not a hypocraite. What she is saying is exactly the truth and wallah, the truth is not pretty. It is not easy for us to swallow this. The truth is this exactly how the US, Australia and New Zealand have sprung up and the UK is rich now bcos of money drained out of colonies who were stripped bare and are even now struggling to cope with the loss.

How do countries who have pasts like these stand up and tell Isreal anything? Where do they find the moral high ground?

I think this question is extremely vaild and has merit on its own. It deserves a good answer.
2009-05-21 06:30:38 UTC
I'm curious about it, yet again I'm curious about everything.

I don't agree with what the Israelis are making the Palestinians go through.

And I don't agree with how the Palestinians are treating the situation.

But do either have a choice? Not really.

So right now, I'm disappointed in both of them.

No,I don't respect countries that kill more than 1000 innocent women and children and occupy other's land.Why should people respect that country anyway.

2009-05-21 14:22:51 UTC
I don't see how one can respect it. So long as it keeps up what it is doing, it will be the one thing which I would never respect.



Join the club you are now a terrorist for saying that :)
2009-05-21 03:36:49 UTC
you bet your life i respect them,they got off their bums and worked very hard to turn a desert into arrable land,they are surrounded by barbarian countries that want to murder them yet they still survive ,their bravery is beyond question as they have always been outnumbered yet still come through,their TECHNOLOGY is better than most,what they have achieved in the 61 years of the rebirth of israel is just amazing,some arab countries could take a leaf out of their book and mabbe there could be peace,
2009-05-21 10:10:46 UTC
It wouldn't matter if they are Arab, Indian, African, Chinese, Asian, European, American, Caribbean, every nation on the planet let alone Jew, I don't respect oppressors in any way shape or form.

In this case concerning Israel? absolutely NO !

Every fibre of my being and soul stands in abject defiance of all oppressors and so should all of yours who claim to stand for justice

"as a human being i can't respect a state ..."

You´ve made the mistake in the initial stage of your logic construction.I mean your pretensions on being

" a human being".

I respect and love this country and I am not going to give it to anyone just because his forefathers conquered it 1300 years ago.They conquerd our land then-we reconquered it back now.

Period.

I am Lebanese and I respect Israel, even though both countries have always been in conflict. Because I know they have nothing against us as lebanese citizens and that their war is with Hizbullah and not every other lebanese. Their authorities might make bad decisions, but its not a reason not to respect them,

2009-05-21 05:03:06 UTC
I dont hate human after all Israeli's are human but i hate their policies.

Like they are undeclared atomic power but they blamme Iran and iraq that they want atomic power i believe its there right what if iran say that u have jet plans and deadly weapons and you defuse all these ofcourse they wont they want security so y not iran and iraq .



Thanks

Yes,I do respect Israel.Moreover,I admire this country.

And that you don´t...Well,we have the right to choose,who in our opinion deserves the respect-and who does not.You,for example,in my opinion of a human being,do not deserve much of it.

P.S.It´s not an offence,it´s just my personal opinion.

2009-05-21 04:18:42 UTC
Definitely not. I couldn't possibly respect them any less after what they have done in the last 60 years.

So as a human being........you can respect propaganda?



Think about it........The jews in palestine barely had any weapons and almost lost in 48 against a much bigger army.........who do you think got invaded?

Respect?? I despise that country and its people !!



It's a country that is based on the torture, oppression and suffering of the people of Palestine. These people are deprived the very basics of life thanks to Israel. Things people of the rest of the world take for granted like education, electricity, health-care, and even water are dreams for Palestinians who were killed, kicked out of their own houses by the Israelis and forced to live in camps and tents...



All the massacres they did to the Palestinians made no sane person with any conscience respect them !!

No one who cares for human lives would respect Israel.
2009-05-21 02:27:43 UTC
I don't respect arrogant liars. So no, I can't really respect the Israeli government.

@ Nomad Absolutely brilliant post!

@ Sarah Thanks for your links, they were from the Guardian and Dispatches, very reliable. You do know that no Pro-Israeli will watch them, they don't want anything to distract from their imaginary world they live in. They will just blast them as being anti-Semitic, and say they are lies. I| couldn't watch all of them, they made me cry too much, and my family were getting concerned and told me to shut them off.
2009-05-21 06:40:21 UTC
Hi! I am Jewish but trust me on this: Israel will be our biggest mistake ever!

This whole thing was wrong. It was a move against everything we the Jews stand for.

Plus I never buy anything from Israel. I live in NJ.

Shalom!
