I will be your friend, but I won't be yours! It's absurd how these kinds of people end up in positions of influence. They are off their heads and dealing with incredibly serious situations involving the lives of real people. It's no game, but powerful people more often than not seem to think it is. "Let's just start a frikkin' war, yee haa!". Mentalists of the highest order.
Agree with most of this, but I do feel that Israeli culture is for the most part decent and respectable. I don't hold such regard for the Muslim world, but of course we are all just people. The Middle East truly depresses me.
I don't care for any form of religion, but as long as people are peaceful and respect others that is all that matters. I have no issues with Jews at all, but as with any country it is the corrupt and dangerous elites that bother me. As you say, people are just people, but you give some of them power and money and they go quite demented.
