[PsYcNeT]

Being of Jewish decent, I've had the Zionist ideal pounded into me since a young age by the people surrounding me (and to a lesser degree, my parents), where the Jewish faith groups and schools often play the victim to get their own way.

Unfortunately, the issue is complicated by a million different factors (geographics, politics, religion, proximity to people that hate them, etc.) to make it as cut and dry as "They should/shouldn't be there", but I'll tell you one thing:

I am goddamn tired of hearing my own people (Jews) constantly spout that they need Israel to survive, and a strip of land in the Middle East is worth having millions of people die for (again). When local Jewish youth relish at the thought of travelling overseas to fight on border patrols and the like to get the opportunity to shoot Arabs, I swear they should be excommunicated and slapped around with a studded leather belt.
