Answer 1

Never trust the Zionists.

You don't get to the top of the world and control the majority of the worlds most important industries, companies and nations without doing people over.

Answer 2

And if they are building a few new houses that do not displace a single Arab, then what is the problem with that?

Answer 3

Right or wrong, that's how they've always worked it.

Absolutely push things to the limit.

Answer 4

Israel is one of the foremost promoters of world chaos in the world! I used to support them and now they are such a promoter of "might versus right" it makes any moral or "Christian" person sick.

I wish I could go back to the 70's and view their plight as inspiring! No more. They should be disarmed (nukes) and the country should be under UN supervision. They have gone too far with their evil ways!

They are takers and should no longer be viewed as victims. s***w that c**p. They work it.

Answer 5

Israel is given a free hand on this and there is method to their madness

The US and other will always support tiny Israel agains the horde of Arab states..this is just a way of sticking it to the Arabs..it is kind of funny when you think about it..big man against a midget who kicks big man in pants and makes big man look stupid
