| blue_composer 12/30/18 8:21:48 PM #46 | Well after I said I was going to sleep my friend called and asked if I wanted to go get dominos One thing I hate Israelis for is their bad taste in pizza since most restaurants use yellow cheese instead of mozzarella Dominos uses mozzarella and they have a personal pie for 15 so I have trouble saying no even though I'm lactose sensitive Did you know a lot of Israelis make homemade pizza/toast (toast here is anything with cheese and toast) with yellow cheese and ketchup? First time I saw it I was really grossed out.... I still am --- |

And yes it is possible for both sides to have fault but more often than not (especially being a moderate liberal) I only ever see one side getting the majority of the blame and refusing to see that one side is a terrorist group that haven't had elections in so long. Idk... during college there was this rise of anti israel groups on campuses across the us which were run by students that either supported Hamas and repeated their rhetoric or refused to denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization On the other other hand the u.s. is becoming more and more "us vs them" in their mentality on *all issues* including israel Palestine (with repubs siding with israel and most Democrats with Palestinians which is infuriating as a Democrat because I wont put israel on a pedestal and refuse to view Palestinians are the completely blameless underdogs) I wonder what will happen when Abbas dies since he's getting pretty old and has had plenty of recent health issues --- |

| blue_composer 12/30/18 7:03:51 PM #39 | Take everything with a grain of salt On Facebook I follow all the major israeli news outlets across the spectrum so I can form a better view of what's going on So ynet, Haaretz, arutz sheva, times of israel, israel hayom (even though it's a heavily biased free newspaper funded by sheldon adelson) and kosher Btw israel has called for early elections which probably resorted from all the stuff that occurred recently A ton of journalism is also heavily biased and constantly have to change the titles of articles You have to see that Hamas still does a lot of things to their own people that make israel look worse 1. When israel took out all Israelis from Gaza they left behind greenhouse(?) infrastructure for them to continue with, and they destroyed it 2. Israel does send to Gaza supplies along with the un, but there are times when Hamas refuses (including medicine and food) and there are times when Hamas will take supplies for building and use them to construct for example the tunnels instead of houses 3. Apart from in their (I cant remember the word but has to do with who they are and their goals) the call for the destruction of jews everywhere and they use this hatred in the education of little kids. There are so many videos of "performance s" put on by the younger kids that have them pretend killing jews and soldiers and encouraging them to be martyrs... I've worked in the israeli school system (but public not private) and I can tell you how much coexistence is promoted (especially because not all schools are 100% Jewish in the regions where my program was held) And yes it is possible for both sides to have fault but more often than not (especially being a moderate liberal) I only ever see one side getting the majority of the blame and refusing to see that one side is a terrorist group that haven't had elections in so long. Also the idf is huge There are so many roles because enlisting is mandatory (unless you're a religious girl or Arab where its optional except maybe druze and the haredim that leech off the taxes and dont contribute at all because they're too busy having kids and learning torah and getting benefits for it because ben gurion thought that they were a small group as a result of the holocaust and they'd remain a small group...-_-) Which include combat, education within the army, education in the schools, bureaucracy, office jobs, tech jobs, engineering, etc etc I hope to get into the search and rescue whose most elite squad actually are usually one the first on scene whenever a natural disaster occurs across the world (like tsunamis in east Asia or earthquakes in the west) I most likely wont get there because I'm 25 and female but it's inspirational because of itgreen dragon posted...

| blue_composer 12/30/18 4:48:58 PM #33 | Mis read who was quoting Anyway I live in ashkelon a bit north of Gaza My parents were born here Both my grandmothers were born here One side goes further than that The other was persecuted in Turkey and Yemen just because they were were jewish, the Yemen side my great grandfather fled with his 2 siblings leaving behind the rest of the family Do you know what the jewish population of Yemen is today? Palestinians aren't inherently bad people, but when their leaders and education portray jews (not even just Israelis)as a group that needs to be annihilated, then I dont know what to tell you --- |

| blue_composer 12/30/18 4:42:59 PM #31 | You dont have to read the article just watch the video https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-caught-at-gaza-fence-hamas-plans-riots-so-people-wont-revolt/ If I had all day I'd link you to several more but it's nearly midnight here https://www.algemeiner.com/2018/11/16/telegraph-reporter-reveals-lengths-israel-goes-to-in-effort-to-avoid-harming-palestinian-civilians-in-gaza-airstrikes// You might consider this one blatant propaganda but it's there in video as well https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-footage-reveals-efforts-to-spare-civilians-in-gaza/ There was controversy over the soldier that killed a neutralized terrorist There is always controversy about the steps the government chooses to protect or not to protect us And most importantly there was even backlash and investigations into the video you posted You dont live here so all you see is one sided reporting I do, I interact with all sorts of people here jews muslims christians right and left wing I'm probably more racist to the Russians here compared to how people think I feel about Palestinians It might sound like deflecting but if you really cared about Palestinians you should start by taking a look at how they're treated by their own government as well as looking into how they're treated in surrounding Arab countries --- |

Apparently the ps4 israeli store is a bit more (mine is still set to the us store but I haven't tried it yet and it might just include the base price plus VAT) but my switch games have almost all been downloaded from the us store so I just need to go out of my way to the post office and refill a visa prepaid card in order to buy games because the debit cards here (called direct) dont work online or outside of israel and credit cards all come with monthly unavoidable fees There's supposedly a decent UK? game site that a lot of Israelis get their games from but I forgot --- |

I have to say that I'm really impressed with TC's composure and response to that one post. Regardless of belief or whatever bias/belonging you want to be under on any side of the issue, it was nice to just see someone reply without devolving to name calling and bashing. I appreciate it OneTimeBen posted... Because he/she was born with it. Good luck. Most of us will never contribute as much. Nah, I'm just tired --- |

| blue_composer 12/29/18 11:01:56 AM #12 | CaptainHammer posted... Damn have fun shooting doctors and children I'm not saying Israel is infallible and I have my own griefs with the government and living here in general but people that say things like what you said are missing 4 important points imo 1. Hamas literally rounds up the majority of these people that look the most vulnerable and puts them in dangerous situations 2. Israel goes out of it's way most times to avoid them( (innocent people that were put there) also think about it, if we really were as evil and causing genocide like people think why hasn't it happened?and why has their population gone up?) 3. When something does happen there are investigations and controversies and debates on the israeli side and among Israelis all over 4. Which is something you dont see from the other side that celebrates death and just shoots indiscriminately (one of the casualties in israel during the rocket fire from Gaza killed an Arab man from either the west bank or east Jerusalem (I cant remember atm) while he was working in my city of ashkelon) just saying --- |

| blue_composer 09/21/18 9:00:25 PM #33 | OniRonin posted... Israel is an apartheid state you know what? I really want someone to explain this to me because I don't see it at all (racism is a weird thing here that certainly happens and I feel is way different from the US but certainly isn't apartheid) In the couple of jobs I've had here I have worked with such a diverse community of people who aren't just Jews from all over the world but Muslims as well with no difference of how we're treated at least where the places I worked, whenever I go to the local park I see everyone enjoying themselves, they get to vote in the upcoming municipal elections if they wish, and they have the same rights as long as they hold *Israeli* citizenship I feel like if it was an apartheid state 1. what I wrote and see everyday wouldn't be true and 2. the Arab party in the government that hates the country that gives them a platform to voice that opinion wouldn't be a thing --- |
