Astonishing contrast: U.S. youth vs. Israeli youth (teens who voted for Prime Minister Netanyahu)
WND ^ | March 22, 2015 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 03/22/2015 4:05:26 PM PDT by Perseverando

Stunned by defeat and still licking its considerable wounds in the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upset landslide re-election, the radical left, anti-Zionist Haaretz has published a lengthy article on the group most responsible for Netanyahu’s win: the young.

It is a striking piece.

Haaretz summed it up this way: Israel’s youth voted in overwhelming numbers for Netanyahu because of “security, security, security – and distrust of Arabs [that is, Muslims], the left and media.”

In the United States of America, this very group delivered a fraud, a liar and America-hater into the Oval Office, not once but twice. Despite joblessness, nationalized mandatory health care that they must pay for, the explosion of jihad, Benghazi, American youth (the poo generation) without thought or consideration elected the most anti-American and dangerous president in American history.

American youth have been systematically misled and misinformed about the grave threats we face. The public school system has long since moved away from teaching the three Rs. Instead, it’s inculcation and dogma. Critical thinking, once fundamental to American education, is discouraged, punished even. Junk science, environmentalism and other such nonsense have replaced the essentials.

Israel’s youth have no such illusions. They live with the threat of annihilation. Genocide against their people, their name, are ululated over and over again by their surrounding neighbors.

What a breath of fresh air to listen to these young Israelis explain why they voted for Netanyahu and reject the fascist hippie elders. I am enormously impressed with how articulate and well-informed these young people are.

Similar interviews in the states are almost embarrassing to listen to. Young people who supported Obama sounded like idiots voting for their favorite contestant on “American Idol.”

Before voter registation cards are issued, there should be a test that demonstrates that the applicant understands the basics of goverment. People who apply for citizenship are required to know more than most voters who are born here.
Unlike here, the Israeli youth have lived the fight for the survival of their country. This country is full of spoiled miscreants who have no appreciation of their freedoms. Unfortunately, they vote Democrat.

There is a military draft in Israel. All youth serve. There is thus not the irrational paranoia of war that unsettles American youth. They can contemplate war and understand that readiness for war is the surest preventative of war. America lost the VN War on the home front because there were deferments and exceptions. Service was feared because there were so many who did not have to and the exceptions makes it all “unfair” not just because some have to go and some do not but because there are avenues of escape and everyone can hope for that escape.

When Iranian Nukes take out a couple of American cities the dumbed down youth and the Gruber voters will get a up close and personal lesson on the real world dangers of electing idiots to run the country!

Are you kidding?

They'll be busy trying to take selfies, in front of the mushroom cloud.

Or trying to make the next Worldstar vid clip.

There was one show on the Military Channel about the top ten tanks IIRC, and they showed the Israeli Merkava tank with one of their female tankers explaining the features of the tank, and I was like OMG! She could have been a model on the cover of SI based on her looks.

Ain’t gonna happen. Any and all qualifications for voting are not only racist, but unfortunately, Unconstitutional. But why stop there, the Republicans won an overwhelmingly victory in 2014, but that only resulted in the Democrats gaining strength. The power does reside in the hands of the people. The people care about something called a Kardashian, the iWatch and the NCAA basketball playoffs. Nothing else. I grieve for the tiny minority of Americans who read this post. America as you knew it and wish it to be is dead. What, if anything, that will take its place is the subject of science fiction novels. Life today is Hell and nobody even notices. Strange.

I hope the next generation of voters (the home schoolers) will vote conservative and I think you’ll see a change soon...

For crying out loud! The people voted out Democrats almost everywhere last year. Short of violent revolt what more could they do? It’s the GOP that has not done its job.

Today’s public school students are not the people who will be the leaders of tomorrow. They be the leaders of the unemployed.

There aren’t enough of them, and too many are complete isolationists. It’s a little hard to engage the populace when you are never exposed to them. And, before you all break out the cross for my crucifixion, I have been homeschooling for over 25 years.

For a significant majority, it’s not “in this world, but not of this world,” but “out of this world (and in my own little safe one.)”
