| 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... Hey @blue_composer have you talked about living in isreal before? As far as I know I think I've been the only one But I have been less frequent here since part way through college --- ...
