Does it bother you that people like us talk and argue and claim moral superiority on one side or the other, while we actually have no idea what really is going on there?
It bothers, because the inside politics of Israel is very complexed, the limitations on each PM, and the many organizations that try to subdue Israel.
We still get rockets daily from Gaza into civilian areas, but the CNN news will show the next humanitarian aid to Gaza.
What a huge support the people of Gaza are getting after sending rockets at Israel (remind you we pulled out of there years ago) and choosing Hamas as government.
And yes, their economy is hit from the blockade, but... I lately take to think -
Isn't the ordinary Iranian (much bigger population) on a blockade by the UN??
Why aren't there ships saying (as they should) : "Bomb nuclear facilities, remove the economic blockade on the people"?
About Politics:
Because we inhibit many cultures in a 7 million state - different kinds of belief in religion, different religion, different origins that carried along some traditions.
That all results in MANY political parties. In fact, last elections, no party crossed 25% of the votes, but still they organized a coalition for government (50%), where one member doesn't agree with the next on basic issues. It's chaos. And corruption.
Netanyahu is blocked from some actions by right-wing parties he added in his coalition, and I'm not sure he wants to do peace.
And in the Palestinian side it is worse - if their leader is not seen as "strong" he is usually not able to make real concessions (and indeed none made, and their schooling system is still near fascist in it's one-sidedness of telling History).
So, about moral superiority.. it is human and very Naive.
People like Roger Waters (love his music) protesting about the wall, but not suggesting anything when suicide bombers were coming into Israeli cities. Naive. Rejecting the wall is like rejecting a border between states, or fences between neighbors, saying it "alienates"...
And I'd wager you're not amused by the anti-Israeli camp of course.
These kind of threads must be torture for you
I know their repeated arguments are filled with disinformation.
Sometimes, when I try to get into it, it is a torture.
Nowadays, I'm not always entering the bulk of stuff, just spending some time in off-topic
