I have nothing but respect for Israel and Israelis.
Have always enjoyed my time there.
I also enjoy the Arabs and Arab countries of the Middle East.
But they are certainly different.
Do you also believe that it is IMPOSSIBLE to explain what the Middle East is like to Americans? I found that so.
Both genders always "belong" to their birth families and therefore BOTH sides have to be civil to each other. The women of the families still decide on who marries whom.
I can't say that I "enjoyed" the Arab countries or Arabs but I realized a L-O-N-G time ago that they are just ordinary people who try to live their lives as best they can.
They are believers in God. They LOVE their children and divorce is all but non-existent.
I was just reading about the ATROCITIES that unwanted (defective, disabled) children go through in China...godless country. It's horrible.
The Arab countries are SO, VERY, VERY different from our Western society but they are FAR, FAR, FAR better societies than China.
