Do you think that all Israelis support what the Israel Gov't is doing in regards to Palestine?

Question

i am not a muslim & one of my friends is a daughter of two Israeli immigrants. they do not support what Israel is doing AT ALL.
but i think a common misconception is that all Israelis & Jews do support it.
but then again not all Americans support the war in the Middle East, but yet it still goes on.

what are your thoughts?
thank you

Answer 1

If they don't support what their government is doing then they would have left it by now. I don't know if this is the case though. Their government is probably conditioning their thoughts into to thinking that Palestinians are evil and deserve what they get.

Answer 2

I think this question is a straw argument. The truth is Israel is under attack by Hamas and Hezbolah, Palestinian Organizations as well as organized criminal immigrants coming into the country under false pretenses. Many Russian immigrants, came into the country to be involved in mafia activities and to cause unrest. This began in the 1980s, and these criminals are linked with Palestinian organizations so of course they criticize Israel. They take advantage of Israel's lack of money laundering legislation as a way to carry on their dirty activities.



So, no, not all Israelis support the gov't and a large portion of the detractors are mafia with Russian/Iranian/Saudi connections. There are also links to neo-Nazi and skinhead groups which perpetrate crimes associated with the mafia/PLO.



The vast majority of Israelis are against Palestinian political violence (many are Saudis and Iranians not locals) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_political_violence because they have relatives killed in both Europe and Israel. Most Israelis have dodged bombs and other attacks which were started against them the minute the Jordan and Israel were created from the territory. In Israel, Arabs have a voice. In Jordan and every other Muslim country, neither Christians nor Jews have a voice in any Muslim country. Syrians and others alleging to be Palestinians throwing missles at Israeli school children, for example, are not really Palestinians and the situation being painted as indigenous people is a big fat lie just like the kind Hitler used to tell.



Israeli citizens understand that Hamas & Hezbolah (the Palestinian politcal parties) would like to kill all Jews in the world because they have in their charters their goal is to eradicate Jews. This is the same goal as Nazi Germany.\\ Are you noticing a pattern?



So, your question begs an untrue assumption. It is Hamas and Hezbolah who are not tolerant of Israel's legal right to exist. Their original leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, is on record as counseling Hitler to eradicate Jews in WWII. They haven't changed their spots or tactics. The so-called Palestinians have eradicating Jews as their primary goal, not creating a homeland. They have a homeland, it's called Jordan, or Israel if they wish to stay there.



The real question, is why does all the Arab world condone genocide against Jews? Why doesn't Jordan, (which used to be called PALESTINE) settle and live peacefully? If Islam is a religion of peace, why make up a bunch of lies about Israel and put their money where their mouth is?

Answer 3

by using fact the PLO attacked Israel and lost their land doing it, why might desire to they get it back? Israel is a real united states of america, and that i help them. What kind of grime might backstab an best chum? If Iran desires to provide up a bite Kavir-e-Lut and get in touch with it Palestine, then i might accept as true with that. Sore loser whiners only piss me off. PLO might desire to be held responsible for his or her strikes no rely how they whine. And in the event that they save the terrorist assaults on Israel, i'm hoping somebody burns the terrorists out.

Answer 4

I doubt all Israelis have the same political views. Americans don't all agree on our foreign policy. Why should Israelis?

Answer 5

The Arabs declared war on Israel & Israel's defending itself. There's the bigger context.



The whole blanket "do support, don't support" is the superficial view that believes Israel is evil & needs to be generally viewed --- not that it's a country facing extradinorially complex problems. All we have in the U.S. is immigration & social security & health care & a little terrorism. That's it. They have annilation on their front door every single moment. For 5 straight years, those Palestinians attempted THREE TIMES A DAY on average bombs to blow up Israeli civilians on every street corner. It looks different there than here. That's my view.



As for g'vt politicies, I would say no Israeli agrees 100% with their government in any direction. It's a country of opinions. One glance at a newspaper tells that.



For your friend's have you listened closely to what they say? Many will disagree intelligently with a politicy but detracters of Israel & Jews will hear it as blanket condemnation that's not even what's wrong in their eyes.



My views - Israel needs to go futher left & further right at the same time. To the right because strength & deterrance is all that works with the Arabs to stop wars. It's time & time been proven...in their own words when Israel left Gaza, Hamas said "look how Israel runs, we're winning, nows the time to step up our pressure to wipe them out." The dipsticks didn't understand a move to peace when it was under their noses -- they didn't want to. So I think Israel should be hitting hard & furious for each attack on Israel (missile) as directly to those who do it as possible -- as deterrance. BUT!!!!!!!



Also, doing more to let the left-winger peaceniks do their outreach & efforts to build bridges with those Arabs that are interested in & capable of peace....and those that aren't. There's too much beracratic obsticals & fear of danger that gets in the way of programs. Not enough words from g'vt & formally to make the bridges. It's all possible. Post Olso when such things failed so miserably & the Arab response was Inifada, not peace, the Israelis got discouraged. They need to keep at it. It ultimately is the only answer.



So I agree or disagree with individual moves by the g'vt all the time. However, I think they do an admirable job of trying to deal with an impossible population Arabs who don't want peace & do everything to make it out to be Israel's fault. So I bet if you ask those Israelis carefully, you'll hear the same underlying theme --- they're just being genuine Israelis when they have big, strong opinions on what their g'vt should do to make a difference. It's what Jews do -- we all feel responsible for solving everything in the world -- and therefore we all take it personally to have an opinion. I'd bet I'd agree with some of their views, & not with others. And I'd bet I'd change their minds on some, & they mind on others.

Answer 6

That's like saying all Israelies share the same brain....

No, I'm part Israeli [muslim] & I don't support what the Government is doing at ALL to Palestine. I think it's really absurd and disgusting, I hate it :(

Answer 7

Well in the future the jews and Arabs of Palestine must live together, as equals. Your friends sound like very good people who are part of the solution!

Answer 8

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha



"All Israelis"



try to get two Jews to agree on ANYthing...



nowhere is the palistinian issue more controversial, more debarted, more argued about, than in Israel.

Answer 9

No, I do not think that all of Israelis support the Gov't.

I don't even think most Israelis do.



My issue is with the Govt, not the people.

Answer 10

Yes all the isrealies support isreal. Thats why their called isrealies. Thats why they live in isreal. But not all "jews" support what isreal are doing.

Answer 11

Answer 12

I doubt all of them do, I am sure some are opposed.
