I echo the sentiment. Israel's a nation locked in never-ending existential crisis. I don't blame Israel for behaving badly. I blame the UK and U$A for creating this whole situation in 1948 and doubling down on the bad decision ever since.

The $pectator isn't exactly mainstream.

When you're woke, there is no way but forward. You have to double down or your whole house of cards will collapse.

@tb8865 Whatever their prior history, they've been a nation surrounded by enemies since their artificial re-creation by force by allied forces. Israel wouldn't last more than a year or two without massive, corrupting aid from the U$A. That in turn, corrupts the U$A.

@calicocat8213 But... But... The Jews in the 1920s and '30s were "freedom fighters." They're only terrorists if the American intelligentsia deems them such. "Terrorism" is often just asymmetric warfare. Ask the French about Guerrilla atrocities in $pain.

For centuries, Jews couldn't own property or run an ordinary business. The only avenue left to them was lending money, and they were enormously successful at it. Also, their hard work and success made them targets of resentment by less prudent/prosperous neighbors. Feckless leaders always saw them as a target of opportunity, with their wealth and their "foreign-ness" since the diaspora. Can't balance your budget? Blame the Jews and take their stuff. Much of what we don't like or suspect about Jewry is the product of the extraordinary lengths to which they (rightly) believe they have been driven to resoet. It's a cycle of pain being played out over centuries. With the whole world against them or threatening to turn on them, they've become experts at survival, but the means employed in desperation become your nemesis in peacetime.
