Why do some Israelis have such a strong death wish?Those people should do the decent thing and put a gun in their mouths.So that the security of the rest of Israel would improve.
I had a neighbor like that. A native born Israeli, who had been a soldier in the six-day war. He came to the US (after being rejected from the Technion) and went to school here, becoming a mechanical engineer specializing in heat flow. A smart enough guy.
He married a woman from Manhattan who became a lawyer.
Both of them bought into the liberal, NY Times crap without any critical thinking. Although he grew up on a kibbutz and thought socialism was cool, he was one of the most materialistic, brand-conscious people I’ve ever met.
They buy into the line that the Jews could have had peace in the middle east, but for the fact that they over-reached after winning wars that they were forced into. They buy into any story that paints Netanyahu as corrupt. They believe Trump is a stupid racist.
I find it amazing.
I also have a cousin (Jewish heritage here) who lives in California, and is a lock-step liberal. I hadn’t seen her in a while, and she was shocked at how I saw the world. Interestingly, although she has a Master’s degree in education, she was completely ignorant of history. She adopted left-wing politics as a substitute for religion.
Hard to believe... but true.
If they just off themselves, their beliefs die with them. If they take down everyone else with them, they are somehow vindicated. These people were deposed just in time. Hillary would have granted their death wish.
