It's funny that Lipush is accusing us of creating an 'anti-Semitic' thread. Which is the first thing she or her fellow pro Israel supporters do whenever they dislike the topic of the thread which is damaging to Israel.
So, lets say Jews don't consider non jews inferior to them. Can we understand why half of the Jewish Israeli population wants more rights than non-Jews in the country?
What is that supposed to mean and keep note they specifically used non-Jews.
Also this kind of tells us what Israelis want is the opposite of some Jewish members or the pro Israeli crowd tells us they want.
I'll be the devil's advocate here -- the first being a question: what is meant by "more rights" - what rights?
The other factor might self-preservation for a people who have long been discriminated against and killed in countries dominated by other religions. Israel is the only country where Judaism is dominant. That might have more to do with it than a fictional attribution of feelings of superiority. Just sayin'....![]()
Everyone knows they want it to stay a Jewish majority country. How they somehow got to becoming a majority from a minority, well, no one questions that.
Neither do they question their policy of settling on land that isn't theirs.
Many question that...hence the conflict.
Makes you wonder why should anyone regard this so called 'international law' as credible at all.
As for wanting more rights, you made a good guess, but that's not entirely true. They mean different things.
Like rights to own property for example. Which is a major factor if you think about it.
Agreed - it is. As is the inequity in the permit and expansion system. But I disagree that's "feelings of superiority" driving it so much as wanting to create and maintain a majority demographic. I'm not saying that's right - just that I think the "superiority" claim comes right out of anti-semitic handbooks.
