Israeli-Arab Defends Israel

At first, I thought it was serious; then I thought it might be a parody-joke; and now I'm not sure.

I don't hate him, or his state, or his identifications. I hate that the IDF is killing people. Every "telegenic Palestinian (http://forward.com/articles/202436/netanyahu-hamas-wants-to-pile-up-telegenically/)" death the IDF causes endangers that young man's identifications and justifications.

His argument is basically Iran does bad things to gays, so Israel can bomb Palestinians with impunity. Its not a right to defend as much as the ability to oppress.

He is kinda right about that though, judging from our media:



Israeli deaths and the "others".



As much as the young man in the OP blames hate, there are those who oppose the IDF's actions from love (http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2014/07/jewsandarabsrefusetobeenemies-israelis-and-palestinians-show-solidarity-online.html).

It's always the fighters who seem to rise to leadership, though,
and they get to define the 'realist' position.

Despite all of the dreamers, the ones who truly long for peace,
we seem to continue to live in a Hobbesian world, a war of all against all.

Hmm. I am overloaded, need to process this.

Don't bother. It isn't worth it.
Sometimes I try hard to give back as good as I get,
and I often just fail harder.

Does he not realize that the hardline fanatical Jews are no better?

They do honor killings, they fight the Gay, etc...

Why do we consistently only judge cultures by their fanatical nutcases when it suits us? If it is not ok to judge all Christians by the Phelpse family, and their ilk, why is it ok to judge all Muslims by suicide bombers, and why is it Not ok to judge all Jewish people by the guys who throw acid in their daughters faces for going out without a chaperone? (Happened in New York, a year or two ago)

Well, this guy probably will never visit any Arab country after this video.
I wish Israel will provided safe haven or camp for women, kids and elderly.

He is so young, and I have this thought that he might yet take those passions and flip, becoming just as adamantly anti-Israel, but maybe my imagination is working too hard.

As for Israel, I like to still hope that we will get that second state, something much better than a safe haven or a refugee camp. But maybe I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. ;)

well, we're all idealists in heart, dreaming that everybody will get a piece of what they want. Arabs run streets in Israel, so they will be the last one to complain. :)

And people the age and gender of OP as well.
