Whatever its problems, Israel is still better than any country in the middle east and most countries in the world. I find your description of Israel to be the height of bigotry. Any creature, even the most peaceful and docile, after being attacked relentlessly, repeatedly, viciously and with fanatical hatred will do whatever it must to defend itself and survive. When the horrible people of the world stop attacking it, Israel will be able to devote its energies towards fulfilling its mission as the center of Jewish life -- which frightens all the anti-semites and bigots out there, lest the Jews look good.
