Is Israel good? Is Israel bad? who knows? More than likely there are those people in Israel who are good, and there are probably those who are bad. But realize one thing about Israel, as follows.
At the end of WWII, there was ONLY one major nation in the world that remained solidly in control of their own economy, and industrialization. This nation was the United States of America. None of the rest of the nations of the world had any strength at all.
Then, guess what nation came into being when no other nation in the world had any strength other than the U.S.? It was Israel. Israel came into being, right out of thin air.
The people of the United States didn't have this as their goal, did they? They might have been happy about it. But they didn't go into WWII with the idea that they were going to re-make Israel at the East end of the Mediterranean Sea, did they?
Good or bad, right or wrong, somebody was strong enough that he could form the nation of Israel out of the rubble of WWII, right at a time that the nations of the world were at their weakest, and the only nation with any strength was the United States. And it happened without the formal approval (or even knowledge that it was happening) of 99.999% of the people of the world.
The point is, anything that is expressed in any media about Israel, might be gospel truth, or it might be the greatest piece of BS that has ever happened. We'll never know, because those who think that Israel is benefited by it will tout it with all the political propaganda double-speak that they can. And those who think that Israel is benefited by the opposite will tout the opposite with all the political propaganda double-speak to the opposite that they can.
Like right after WWII, when 99.999% of the world didn't have a clue that Israel was forming, 99.999% of the world will never have a clue what is the truth regarding anything about Israel is, no matter what any propagandist says.
Now watch what happens with this comment. Here's what will happen with this comment because it doesn't, formally, place Israel in a good light. It may not put Israel in a bad light, but because it doesn't place Israel in a GOOD light, it will be run over by the same political propaganda forces that run over everything else about Israel.
You watch! Israel blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
