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.
