well, looks like i have to equip my sour armor to defend the actions of Israel, this sucks.
I'm not even a big supporter of my country's actions, the whole occupation of the west bank isn't particularly OK, the only motive of our actions in Gaza lately is to make hamas stop launching missiles at us, which is fine, but horribly selfish, because we are willing to leave these fascists(they ARE fascists, check their ideology) in charge so long as they don't bug us, why is this wrong? well,
1. Hamas are shockingly bad at running gaza, economically speaking, most of their expanses go to either curropt people, or terrorists.
2. BLOCKADE, ever since hamas got to power and said "Screw Oslo, were gonna start firing missiles at ya, kk?" Israel is blockading gaza, causing to have practically zero external trade with things that are not Israel or Egypt(and Egypt is blockading too, mind), and Israel doesn't want to remove them from power and end the blockade so less Soliders of ours will die, great, the 10x amount of Gaza citizens that will die because hamas will remain in power does not matter
BACK TO BUSINESS
but these aren't "ten false myths", these are "ten Anti-Israel rants", see the difference?
i'm not gonna go though everything, that will be boring, but more or less half of them(and in the wrong order)
Myth #3 – The Arabs missed an opportunity to have their own state in 1947.
yes, Arabs missed an opportunity for a state of their own, i view the whole thing as downright HILARIOUS, the UN offered a partition of Israel between Jews and Muslims, Jews agreed, Muslims refused, so we took half of the land that should have gone to the Muslims, could have been avoided if they said yes
Myth #4 – Israel has a “right to exist”.
fuck no, I'm not getting into that, that subject is completely bloody subjective, no facts, no absolute truth, this also goes for
Myth #8 – God gave the land to the Jews, so the Arabs are the occupiers.
NEXT THING.
Myth #5 – The Arab nations threatened Israel with annihilation in 1967 and 1973
half yes half no, 1967, hell no they didn't, that was our idea, totally an offensive war, if it was defensive it will take at least two weeks :P
1973...YES THEY DID, and they attacked us on a holiday, too :P, thats unfair game, if they could get to Jerusalem, then yes, they would destroy the state
on the subject, fun fact: Arab states never even tried to kill Israel, let's look at 1947-9
Israel fought Egypt, Jordan, Syria, bunch of other Arab nations, and WON, they obviously didn't seriously try, or we we would lose.
it's all just propaganda...sad, right?
Myth #2 – The United Nations created Israel.
holocaust survivors created Israel
Myth #7 – Israeli military action against its neighbors is only taken to defend itself against terrorism.
you are kidding, right? once again, THEY SHOT MISSILES AT US, NOT BLOODY NICE
may i note, they were shooting at civilians, their "holy war" is to disrupt innocent people's night's sleep, then people are surprised we hate them. also, we were in Lebanon to try to put a government that will, you know, not support people shooting missiles at us, and a democratic one at that.
one more note, Syria was trying to occupy Lebanon at the time for funsies, and when we stand a choice between Israel occupied Lebanon and Syria Occupied Lebanon, we take the first option
Myth #10 – The U.S. is an honest broker and has sought to bring about peace in the Middle East.
well USA attempts to "make peace in the middle east" are mocked, ignored, and largely disrespected by all sides, nobody gives a damn about them, really
done, thats my silly argument, unlike others, i don't claim my personal view on things to be a fact, let me sum up by saying this: this whole...thing, is a bunch of idiots from both sides who insist to not co-exist, those "bunch of idiots" are the majority, on both sides, self making truth
let it not be said i'm a traitor to my country...sort of...not really....ah nevermind
