Well, if world gave to Israel 'free reign' then any other country received universe for granted.

>I agree. The world (and most notably the U.S.) has given Israel a free reign for far too long. It must stop. To be fair, Israel is not always the one at fault and they have made great strides at times. It always seems to be one step forward, two steps back. It will be interesting to see what happens when Palestine has a real government recognized by the world.

>>>Something sure is. Not a comparison though (and I can't believe you even tried to make one) since Israel is not run by a dictator bent on destroying other countries using chemical weapons (although some would argue that point). I don't see Israel as a threat to the western world.

>>I am torn on Israel. An open secular democracy (the best in the middle east) but yet one of the most oppresive regimes towards the Palestinians. A huge contradiction.
