I Am More Than Revolted By Israel Behaving Like Nazis

Hold On For A Moment...
Do you people have any notion what the behavior of truly hideous governments like the Nazis or the Communists was like? Not only have the Israelis not behaved like the Nazis, they haven't behaved like the Muslims.
I don't idealize the Israelis. I don't think Israel is as good a country as the U.S., the U.K., Scandinavia, or the British dominions. But Israel has a fundamental decency and is a far better country than any of the --pardon me for the truth-- dog-eat-dog countries of the Third World. And the same journalists and academics who villify Israel tell us we should think more highly of the Arab/ Islamic world, where many people murder their own daughters if they perceive them to be going astray and murder their own sons under Islamic sharia law if they convert to Christianity. Give me a break!
I ask you be honest : would you rather be a Jew who has fallen into the hands of the Arabs or an Arab who has fallen into the hands of the Israelis?

I agree with your point that it is ridiculous to compare Israel with Nazism or any other totalitarian system, cc. It is intellectual laziness and dishonesty. But I take issue with your portrayal of Israel's neighbours as third World countries, and with your implication that the governments of these countries sanction the murdering of daughters or of Christian-convert sons. These are cultural, rather than political issues, and I am certain you will find extreme religious views among Israeli people that are not supported by their government.

With its paucity of natural resources, Israel would be a Third World country were it not for the billions of dollars in aid it receives each year from the US government. Most of its neighbours, by contrast, have oil and gas reserves which support their economies.
