I Stand With Israel

[tech3149]

16. You can stand with Israel if you wish but in the long run you will suffer the same fate

I have no objection to a Jewish state or the concept of a Jewish nation. My problem comes with the unquestionable subjugation and removal of those who lived in what western Europe decided should be the nation of Israel.
That was beyond stupid and revealed the anti-semetic views of western Europe. It was not only stupid but many at the time predicted the outcome. Most Jews at the inception of the Zionist plan were extremely opposed to the ideas. They did not want to be isolated from the rest of the world. They understood that the best way to survive and be accepted was to be a part of the community. The worst thing you can do is shut yourself off and proclaim that is the only way you can survive.
I had never been political and world events were just background noise until 2003.
That was my turning point and drove me to study and learn. I'm lucky that the best part of my life is behind me. I've done well for myself, taken care of my parents to their Final Days.
I'm living in the house my grandfather raised his family. I couldn't imagine it being blown up by a neighbor that 100 years ago would have shared my own fruits.
