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 don't know that there are any countries where honor killings of women are legal. But I don't know of any Muslim country where this has been a problem where the government has made the concerted effort to stamp it out that should be made. Therefore you have to hold the governments somewhat culpable. The most romanticized Muslims of all are the Palestinians and my impression (I'll take correction if I'm wrong) is that their problem with honor killings is as bad as it gets.

And I must comment in passing that I find it extremely bizarre that female circumcision-- even the less drastic variety in which the clitoris is amputated but the labia are left intact--is the ob<x>ject of more international outrage than honor killings! Someone explain that to me. What's more important, sexual sensations or life?

Israel should have more pride than to be so dependent on the U.S. But with all those high-IQ, highly educated Jews, no way Israel would ever be a Third world country. What you mention about the wealth of Israel's neighbors is interesting though, in light of how the Arab world's economic growth was said not many years ago to sunk down to roughly the level of sub-Saharan Africa. People talk about "failed states." What we have here is virtually a failed civilization.
