Israel/Palestine
In reply to the discussion: Why we fight [View all]azurnoir
(45,850 posts)there is quite a bit published about US soldiers suffering from PTSD, but not so IDF which from what is for the most part published we could almost believe are bred on special steroid farm somewhere in the Negev or something
now as to the second part
"and for those other readers....when every israeli enters a mall, govt building, there is a security check, the security guards at times may be druze, muslim or jews-but everybody gets checked-always, because of what some Palestinians did.
i guess that makes israel a racist country for checking everybody for what a few Palestinians did years ago..... (we must be racist to the core_)"
now in the US everyone gets checked when entering government buildings, airports, and sometimes schools it's annoying indeed but part of fabric
however my statement referred more to the 'checkpoints' at which generally only Palestinians are searched perhaps that has changed a bit very recently do to rightist settlers attacking IDF but nothing I have read would indicate that and that is what in the US is called ethnic profiling and yes here it is generally thought to be discriminatory
