This is the type of thinking that keeps the conflict going. Both sides try to question the legitimacy of each other but the fact is neither Israelis or Palestinians are going anywhere and they are going to have to live with each other. For Casspi going to the White House good for him. Whether you like Obama's policies or not he is still the President, and yes part of the President's job is these type of cultural events, and this is a big honor.
come on give me a break. I really don't understand why Israel can't have both Muslims and Jews living peacefully together. And why did we have to create a country that only allows Jewish people in? I guess we have to kick all the white, jewish, black, asian, people out of US and Canada so Native Americans can have their land back. But I guess that 's not possible because here in the US, Jews own everything.
Come on give me a break, if you don't have any idea what you are talking about you better just avoid writing comments. Muslims are living peacefully in Israel, they have freedom of religion and they live more freely than they do in their Muslims country, on the other hand I would like to see how a Jewish Israeli will be able to manage peaceful life in a strict Arab country which is educating their youngsters to hate Jews. There is a difference between a Jewish state rather than any other country, there are billions of Christians and Muslims in the world, but only less than 30 millions Jews, if we won't be able to protect ourselves and maintain a Jewish majority we won't be able to survive. In Israel 75% are Jews and the rest are Arabs, Bedouins and Druze, that's around 2,000,000. So I wonder how can you say Israel can't have people which are non-Jews to co-exist. And even if Jews are owning everything in your country what is the matter? why is it wrong? how does it affect you, the only thing you showed in your ignorant comment is that your a racist.
People of all religions are welcome to emigrate to Isreal. Isreal has a large Christian,Muslim, and Druze population. The world center of the Bahi religion is in Haifa, a city in Israel. Israel took in some Vietnamese after the US left Vietnam. There is a large black population in Israel. The current Ms. Israel is of black African decent. As of the March 2013 census 75.4% of the people who reside in Israel are Jewish. Please do some reading about the demography of Israel and the other Middle Eastern nations. You will be quite surprised.
well sorry for speaking out of my ass. I just didn't understand why a country was created just for Jews. I didn't mean to offend you. Jewish people are some of the hardest working here and that's why they own the country. What I'm saying is that there is really no discrimination (at least 99.9% of times) toward Jews. Don't get all sentimental about it.
So what? I have a swastika tattoo on my chest. Doesn't mean I'm racist. I'm just into design, fashion and symmetry.
That wouldn't have stopped the Holocaust or the hundreds of evictions and massacres committed by people with our exact religious, cultural and ethnic background.
that's funny. im from Israel where 20% of the population are Muslims. at the university I study, 30% are Muslims who often gets more benefits, easier for them to become students(accepted with lower grade) because of govermant policy(Affirmative Action). Most of them are great students and friends who later Integrate into society perfectly. almost half of my professors are Muslims. some of them use the fact that Israel is a democracy, and demonstrate agains the country, with anti Israel speeches(they are very small and loud). they live where they want, study where they want, get unemployment and even serve in the army if they want to Volunteer. they have Representatives in the legislature. in every job that I had 4/10 were Muslims, including my bosses. they always got respect and treated just like everyone else. I wish that this was the situation of jews, who were Persecuted and lost property by Arabs countries. just check how many Jews lived in Arab countries and how much now. Muslims have freedom of realigion in Israel, alot of Mosques in every Arab city+ in the Jewish ones. Jews can not come close to Mecca or the Dome of the Rock( Israel gave the controll to the Muslims). Jews can't get visa and enter Saudi Arabia, simply for being Jews. ther are almost no Synagogues left after being destroyed, in 22 Muslims countries. in Israel as I mantioned before there are many mosques. I wish that Jews will get the same treatment in Arab countries as Israel's Muslim citizens get in Israel.
