Thats a different argument flecc. Personally dont think one can dislike a state without showing a prejudiced nature. You obviously think differently. We, ll have to agree to disagree.Of course we deny it, it simply isn't true and cannot be when so many Israeli citizens are strongly opposed to so many of their state's policies.
I've explained why I dislike of the State of Israel and there's not a single anti semitic element in it. How can there be when the Israeli State itself practices anti semitism.
.
A State includes everything that State stands for. Actually think you only dislike certain elements. I, m going to Israel in December to visit friends. I, m certain your dislike of many aspects would be totally agreed with, your dislike of the State would be accepted but not understood.
I first visited Israel years ago and was shocked to find the tolerance of Palestinians and Jews living side by side. Unfortunately that seems to be in decline.
I dont really think its possible to dislike the State of Israel without disliking Jews in generalbut I, ve never enquired. Do any Jews outside Israel not believe the land to be their chosen home? I, m not sure. I, ll ask when there. I, ve simply assumed all Jews now, and always have, see Israel as their original "home" and not just since they were given it by UK and USA in 1947.????
Unfortunately with our modern view of history there simply is no solution without a massive change by one group or another.
And, obviously there is massive dislike of the States behaviour towards Palestine by Jews throughout the world, including those in Israel but again those same people would criticise those actions and not reach conclusion of disliking the state.
