I was just reading an Israeli news article for more facts on an event that happened recently. I find it to be quite hilarious in its simple stupidity. Firstly, let's get this straight. I'm Pro-Israel. I'm anti-terrorist. Whether or not Arab minorities fall into the latter category, I have no control over. With that said, Anyone pro Palestine probably won't like what I have to say and the opposite is most likely true. I should clarify another thing= NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS. Actually, most aren't. There are bad seeds in every race and religion and when your religion has a population of a few billion, the 'loud minorities', which are about 2%, can get to be very large.
That said, I do not agree with the political objective of Palestine(/Iran/any other Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood run government) or the incredibly immoral code it stands by. By this, I do not mean the general population, of which are being fed countless propaganda articles and do not have the information to make their own knowledgeable decision. I mean the country it has no choice but to deal with. Unless moving is an option and by the time you can make the choice to move, no one would want to, short of the fear for their own safety. Though, in reality, many of the lies published by the Tehran Times are for the mass population to feel safe and protected. Or to instill major fear and fuel the hatred of Israel and it's population as a whole, but their incredibly high amounts of censorship is another issue for another day.
What I want to talk about is a partially separate matter.

If you go to the link above, you will see the news article, published by the Times Of Israel on April 15th , written by Yoel Goldman and Gabe Fisher, about the prevention of the massive flytilla 'project'.
In the blog below, you can tell the author, though trying to be objective about the situation, disapproves of the way Prime Minister Bb handled things. I happen to have a different approach than him.

The flytilla was a mass fly in to Israel to protest the country and stand beside Pro Palestinians to show their sense of friendship. Bb had most deported back immediately, with letters in-hand. The rest are being held until future deportation.
The letters from the Prime Minister's office basically told them to fly a kite and actually do something useful with their time. I'm still laughing about this.
In short, BB said that for sure the protestors are welcome into the country as long as they aren't considered a safety hazard and of course, go to Syria (To see the monstrosities there), then to Iran (Where human rights are completely ignored and women are stoned regularly) and then to the Gaza Strip, where Hamas uses little children as human shields against rockets thrown in retaliation. After all that they are welcome to come back to Israel and report their findings.
This blog, is all about my point of view and here it is ladies, gentleman and my mom=
He was right to. I'm still laughing silently at this. How dare these spoiled French (mostly) brats go to Israel, a country in war, and tell them how incredibly unjust they are. Do they remember reading in American history how in WW2 they put all the Japanese citizens in relocation camps, where they almost starved, died from diseases and lost all of their belongings? And that's completely overlooked? How about in Iran, where women can be bound and thrown in a river because her dinner wasn't good enough? Syria-where people are killed everyday for no good reason other than the fact that they are so used to killing they can't control themselves? How about how Turkey still refuses to admit to holding a mass genocide of the Armenian Christians? Or the CURENT DAY GENOCIDE in Darfur?
Do these activists know nothing? Or all they all just caught up in the anti-Israel hype. Ooh Israel is so bad! Good God, They're the only democracy in the Middle East!
It's very easy to judge Israel and the way it runs things from America, France or Britain, where terrorist attacks don't even happen every decade. In Israel you never know when the next attack will be. After 9/11 everyone understood how Israel felt. But they've all forgotten the feeling. The feeling that your world is being destroyed and you can't stop it. That your family can disappear at any moment. That they can go to the local pizza shop and never make it back. How dare these spoiled, ignorant and useless brats go to Israel and 'report their unjust findings'! They have no right! They should go around the world. To poverty stricken countries like Haiti. To Darfur. To Mayanmar, where the people have no rights and no say to what goes on. They should go protest the completely unjust child labor laws in China. These people are wasting their time and money on a trip that is pointless.
I think they should have given them parachute training quickly, given them a parachute, and pushed them out of the plane in their respective countries.
But you know, when you're all done with those protests, please come visit us again.
