Oh, my...I wish them well...but fear they will be arrested, at best and some killed, if Israel acts like its normal (sic) self of late.
I heard a very interesting documentary recently on Israel and South Africa. It contained a lesson we all should learn - no country - no matter how good, evil or mixed - is unchanging or unchangeable. In its early days the Israeli leaders were totally opposed to Apartheid S.A., then later [won't go into the motivations, changes of players, forces, deep politics, et al.] Israel become S.A.s best friend [after the USA] and then, in the end, its ONLY friend!....and of course it gave S.A. it's nukes and lots of other rockets and weapons [as did the USA].
May things change once again in Israel and in my own land..... one can only hope and fight for such change. Criticism is warranted
tupido: for both [and other] countries...but fighting for sane changes is more noble. I know we Plebs are up against very powerful forces, but we have nothing to loose but our [and other's] chains....... tupido:
