one gets SO Damned TIRED of watching Bibi and the Israeli government in Jerusalem continue, day and week and year after year, all this “BEGGING every possible foreigner in sight FOR PERISSION”.... to do what? just build homes for Israel’s citizens so they can raise their children decently with roofs over their heads like any other people on earth wish to do?
Bibi, stop all the begging and just reBUILD your nation...
you want respect? act like a grown up and build (or let your people build, rather) ..as others have posted here and elsewhere, Bibi please get over your slave mentality and stop doing the enemy’s hob for them...just Build the needed homes for your people already.
I agree. The best the US can do is get out of the way. Israel is more than capable of defending themselves.
I was on a mission trip back in November that included over a week in Israel. Spent time with people “on the street” in East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and several places in-between - covering everything from zones under the 100% control of the Palestinian Authority, partial control, and those still completely under Israeli control. What I found was rather eye-opening:
In the people we visited with, it was actually hard to find an “average Joe” Palestinian who was wrapped up in the whole Palestinian/Israel fight. The majority of the folks we visited with were far more like “us” than the media and our politicians would have us believe. They just want to be free to raise their children and have their businesses. What I found really interesting was that most of those Palestinians were “marginal” in their muslim faith (more of a social/ritualistic religion, not a way of life). Many were far more American-like than what I had expected.
I came away with the impression that the loud, terrorist, “Palestinian State” rabble-rousers are the minority. But that’s the problem - the loud minority are extremely radical and are the same ones that hold the rest in fear - and have a very receptive ear from the word’s media.
