@dawnsinay1464 : It's not a racist thing. Security was like this in Northern Ireland for years when I was growing up there due to the very real threats of bombs and terrorist attacks for political reasons, and that was within the UK. Israel has to be stringent facing the same things on a daily basis. Your flight might not be safe without them doing their security. Do you want them to cease all searches as no one would ever try to bomb an Israeli plane or try to attack or kill Jews? It's safe as houses and just board everyone on and trust fate. 🙃

@randomness8819 We had "freedom fighters" in Northern Ireland. They blasted all the shops in my town to hell and killed my next door neighbour leaving seven orphans. Yes, they fought very hard, but no one was made free, only death, bloodshed and hatred. I think I understand what your aims are by your comments. So how will the new apartheid Arab state fare which will racially prohibit Jews and treat them as lesser than Muslims? 🤔

@TONI__KROOS It means that the State of Palestine's borders must run from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea, which encapsulates all of present day Israel, with the implication that the Jews will be eradicated, as Arafat used to speak of pushing the Jews into the sea. That's not benign friendly language by any means and Israel knows it all too well. A "two state solution" would not have such borders, which shows the Arabs' true aspirations and intentions. Speak to any Palestinian Arab and they will readily admit these things themselves. That's what "Free Palestine" means also, not a peace deal, but taking all of the Holy Land.

@paris5966 What roles do you want to be reversed? Irish? Arab? South African? You don't specify in your vague "blague"... 🙃 Ani yakol liktov b'Ivrit im ata rak kotev b'Tsarfatit...! 🤣🙄

@Allah.is.loving Well I would let those Jews picnic in my garden, especially if was a Jew that founded the Church, and without Him they wouldn't have a church or a garden at all. It is an aspiration Yeshua expects us to bear in mind, not to ignore and reject His people.

@ahintofhish07 Well obviously the authorities knew the Jewish family posed a much lesser risk to them than the people who are hostile towards Israel and many are ready to do harm. Security is a pain in the neck and an inconvenience but it is there to save lives. If you have a problem with it maybe you should direct your disatisfaction/anger to those who actively oppose Israel, even though it was legally founded by the United Nations. If haters stop so does security. There were always two long queues under scrutiny and in zoned off areas in airports when I travelled by air and they were only for Northern Ireland and Israel, two countries I have lived in. I grew up with security in Northern Ireland just like Israeli children do and I did not realise that other countries did not have this until I went to England and stood at a shop door waiting to be searched but no one was there and there was more than just one entrance and exit but many doors! The only thing that causes security is hatred and terror attacks, no other reasons. No one wants to inconvenience anyone or discriminate against any person, but risk is risk. The Arabs are famous for hating Israel & attacking, which is why the Jews don't trust them. Most Israelis I knew were moderate and simply wanted to live in peace. Arabs wanted Jihad. As they say in Israel you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies, and Israel only has to lose ONE war! Not all Muslims are suicide bombers, but all suicide bombers are Muslim, in Israel anyhow. I've never heard of a Jewish suicide bomber yet. Both sides need to compromise, but while "from the river to the sea" remains a watchword the stalemate will remain, or worse. The sad thing is as cousins they both have a lot in common!

@y___7720 Well two peoples arguing over one piece of land without compromise or peace will bring that result. You just expect the Jews to exit and let the Arabs run the whole territory? 🤔 The way the Jews look at it other people moved in and took their ancestral homeland so there are two perspectives and many Jewish homes were stolen and misappropriated and Jewish children and adults killed and persecuted in both Muslim and Christian countries as well. The Arabs dwelt in Arabia and the Jews in Judea as cousins. Now the Arabs want both! And the Jews nothing with not a pot to p*ss in and nowhere to lay their heads. Very fair! 🤯

@paris5966 It's not a competition. God gives grace and humility. Your tone does not attract me if you are a believer. Every idle word that man shall speak he shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgement, and with what judgement you measure unto others it will be measured unto you. Then you can explain about puppets and laughing, as everyhing you do is in His Name. 🙃

@fidelcatsro6948 Israel is very diverse as a nation with people of many skin colours and religious creeds, such as Chinese, Ethiopian, Russian, and Muslim and Christian Arabs. Israelis do not expect only tourists a certain way but are open and friendly to all. Don't make assumptions and then try to spread them as lies on social media which is dangerous slander.

@TONI__KROOS Yes, the Irish were fighting for freedom, but they killed a lot of innocent people in the process, and the Palestinian Arabs are following the same process, peace by violence. Palestinian Arabs want and need basic rights, but so do the Palestinian Jews who later became known as Israelis after 1948. The "river to the sea" policy of the Arabs means a 2nd Holocaust.

@joeoreilly1479 I was born in County Down, Northern Ireland, so I can only speak of my own life experience from there. You can speak of Dublin from the persective that you have. There are Protestants in Dublin but they are Irish citizens so are you saying that the first terrorist bomb in Ireland was by an Irish movement in Dublin which was technically an Irish terrorist organisation run by Irishmen? 🤔 Did this have anything to do with the British Government or of Irish national unrest? 🤔 I am always keen to know the facts rather than blindly judge. My next door neighbours were Roman Catholics and I grew up playing with them as innocent children with no animosity. It was not until later that the older siblings forbade the youngest boy from playing with my twin brother and myself because we were Protestants, even though I had no real sense of what it meant to be a Protestant. Therefore I grew up treating both Catholics and Protestants as equal human beings, and I still do today. The father of that Catholic family worked in the legal system of the courts and was shot dead by the IRA for his role in putting away convicted IRA terrorists. Others call them freedom fighters. It is all about perspective, influence and life experience. My Catholic neighbour was killed by his own people, not by any Protestant gunman or terrorist. My own uncle was knee-capped by Protestant terrorists for dating a Roman Catholic girl. He now lives in England in a wheelchair. He was crippled by his own people, not by Catholics. I have seen 22 teenagers blown to smithereens in Tel-Aviv queuing up for a discotheque by the beach for much the same reasons. The BBC later interviewed the suicide bomber's family in their grief whilst teams of medics carefully picked up all those body parts and respectfully placed them in black plastic bags. It was too horrific to be shown on public television. The next morning at work in the Hilton Tel- Aviv where I was Chef de Partie for the prestigious King Solomon Fine Dining Restaurant a Jewish female colleague from Ukraine kept weeping. I asked her in our common language of Hebrew what was the matter and she told me that her next door neighbour lost two teenage daughters in the Arab attack and was inconsolable. She had to identify her kids from gold earrings and teeth. I witnessed grief and misery on both sides, as 40% of the Hotel staff were Arab and just like in Northern Ireland, no matter how bad the situation was on the ground people still have to go to work and work together with individuals from across both divides. I befriend Jews and Arabs and Protestants and Catholics. I see no human difference in them. I do witness the one-sidedness you accuse me of, but you really have never met me. I have written to the Queen and also the Pope (and got replies from both) and sent poems to the President of Ireland and also to the British Prime Minister (whom I fed at the Tel- Aviv Hilton) so I believe in communication with differing 'sides' for it was not me that formed those 'sides.' I wrote to former IRA sympathiser Martin McGuinness before he died after just stepping down from his role of Deputy First Minister for Northern Ireland as I was diagnosed with the same terminal illness as he, Amyloidosis, as I could empathise with his physical suffering and treatment and he flew to London to attend the same hospital that I still attend that specialises in this rare illness and I have just returned from that same hospital two days ago for tests & checks which I have to do annually. Last year I was in the waiting room on 8th September in London when the Queen died. The Queen and Martin McGuinness were stoic in meeting each other. I was born into one side, just as others are born into another side. Very few are born in the middle. Not all Catholics are equal-minded when it comes to their view of Protestants. I also know some very anti-Catholic Protestants. I met Ian Paisley Senior before he died who had befriended the late Martin McGuinness as we both sat on the front row before giving talks, and he had mellowed a lot with age, and my attitude towards Martin McGuinness was open like his. I wrote articles about Amyloidosis for the Catholic Irish News newspaper and the Protestant News Letter in Belfast because so few had heard of this illness until Martin McGuinness died. You may bet that I'm not a native of Northern Ireland, for it really doesn't matter. My 'research' is living my life which is only viewed as 'propaganda' if the reader disagrees with something I write. If I wrote a praiseworthy article about the virtues of the Irish state and its Republical Army would that be 'propaganda' or unbiased truth? Still the perspective comes from life and experience. I may never match your erudition concerning terrorism in Dublin but I am not making things up. You may doubt where I was born, but I am a citizen of the world that values peace. 🕊

@lymint9587 You should have lived in Belfast during "The Troubles" when I was growing up and you'd know what security is. There is lax security where there is no threat of terrorism.

@dongoggine Does it matter? 🤔
