What is a misfortune for Israel is ignorant, opinionated generalizations for this woman of very limited morality. Look, lady, this is the demographic make-up of Isarel. Lots of competing groups from different sub-cultures living in the same state, and some of them don't like you either. Try rising above your petty, narrow minded, insular self. If all you can do is add to universal misery, have the good sense to say nothing at all. Can't stand the people who want to expel seichel and rachmonos from the list of Jewish values.

Are denied the same educational and work opportunities combined with the 30 laws that directly discriminate against them, hold the Arabs, who are desperate to work, back are a "burden". But the Haredim who have all the privileges and laws on their favor, but refuse to work, enlist in the army, and just collect government welfare payments that allow them to have ten kids per family and oppress their women are no burden? Get your head out of the sand, missy!!!!

The only exception I can think of, there are no Jews in arab lands. Big difference. Send the arabs to arabia. That's where they came from. Then, everyone's happy. The muslim women especially, LOL Try any one of the 'Arab Spring' vacation locations. Maybe THAT"S why the arabs want Israel? LIBERTY ?

Israel contributes nothing to US employment any other country would actually pay for those free weapons you get. American politicians are scared of Aipac. Funny how the person from the welfare recipient state is taking about others on welfare.

If we took the billions of dollars a year we give Israel and built roads, schools and infrastructure instead with it, unemployment here would drop and our quality of life would improve. Doesn't sound like a real disaster from our viewpoint.

They help keep unemployment low, huh? Then if the Rethuglicans were right, why is unemployment still so high? And if Israel is supposedly oh so helpful, then why is unemployment still far North of 7? Explain that. John is right. You are not.
