Sure, most of them, despite required military service, have not shot palestinians, lebanese or syrians, but if you're endorsing those policies, you might as well be holding the gun.
I am personally of the belief that no nation should be founded as a state of any religion, whether it be Israel, The Holy See or Saudi Arabia.

Honestly...what a load of crap.
I will present you with a very equitable, allbeit, not likely scenario.
If a First Nation "soldier" under the guise of a "militia or a guerilla group" shows up at the door of your house, and demands you secede to his requests of leaving because the UN says so, are you going to blame the Canadian Government for his acts? After all....the policies of the gov't that represent him are what we would be talking about...correct?
If so, why. But more important, if not...why not?
The Israelis as a people have put up with more than enough in the last 70 years...all while being allowed by international laws to inhabit the land in which they claim today. They are also the ONLY state in the mid-east to actually give up land in an effort to make peace agreements with those states/groups that have vowed to eradicate them as a race and/or an independant group.
Yet, as i read this thread, they are still being pegged as the aggressors and the evil cousins of the even more evil USA.
I truly fail to grasp to understand this way of thinking, and can only conclude that youth plays such a huge role for most, and age along with real lfe experience will have *some* changing their tune in the future.
I guess time will tell...and only time.
