    Asking the state not to perform not to perform birth control on the unwilling is asking for perfection to you?


    no necessarily in this instance. , but in general everytime I hear bad news you always hear this kind of arguement, almost as if one expects more from us than he does from others, and I honestly don't think people would have cared as much if it was in another country.

    Wait, didn't I specifically say that Israelis give Jews a bad name? I have nothing against Jews- they've been discriminated against since the beginning. And they're (the Israelis, not Jews) sterilizing Ethiopians- which is a specific nationality, and maybe even "race". The Israeli government perverts Judaism, much like their enemies pervert Islam.

    It wasn't you that said it, but being the only Jewish state does not give them a blank check to do whatever they want. Any state based on a singular religion, be it Islam, Christianity, or Judaism is a poor idea. Naturally it's going to breed racism and prejudice. Their flag is the star of david, for Yahweh's sake. Their foreign policy and entire country is based entirely on one religion. Any minorites are automatically alienated. In this case, they're even sterlized.

    Israel is not based on a single religion.

    Sweden's (most secular country in the world pretty much) flag is a cross.

    It is not.

    In this context they are not a minority and are not sterilized.

    some people don't seem understand that in this context, Jewish state isn't the same as Islamic Repubic, its more like Russian Federation , or Czech Republic.

    thing about the religious aspect is that you can't completly seperate it from the Jews, its what keeps the nation , so to speak , united (otherwise we would have disappeared just like alot of peoples 3000+ years ago.

    Sweden is regarded as perfect around here. Performed sterilazation of Romas. No one cares. Cause Jews didn't do it.

    or maybe because in Sweden nobody goes and shouts about it to the foreign press, unless there is a Swedish version of Haaretz? seriously, Haaretz to the Israeli left is like Fox News to the American right,

    I would suspect its similar regarding the treatment of illigal immigrants , crime and deportations happen in every country , but its only when Israel started deporting some that people went berserk (along with the usual holocaust references)

    in all seriousness though , the birth rate of the Arabs in Israel is dropping, Its close to the Jewish rate, heck the Christian rates are the lowest in the country.

    Id suspect its education, and to some extent women having more choice (at least on paper, wheter the social norms in their towns allows them is something else)

    Well, this is pretty horrible to hear. Being going out for 10 years? That is pretty outrageous. Its the new millennium and to have things like this happen is just depressing.

    often times "I hate Israelis" is just a nice way of saying "I hate Jews",. This is obviously not always the case though.

    I don't really think you're being fair here. When someone says "Israel" the chances are they're talking about the government and not all of the citizens. Furthermore, the example you gave is silly since things like regional specific grudges exist. If someone is British or Irish and has a beef with Scottish people for some reason, if they say they dislike Scots that doesn't translate into them hating white people.

    You made some good points. However, many of these Israel hating Jew lovers are also self proclaimed anti-Zionists. Anti Zionism has links to racism...

    That's a stretch too. Sure it has links but Germans also have links to Nazis. You're not gonna assume all Germans are Nazis just because all Nazis are German.

    yeah , and at least they are honest about it, I would rather the haters stopped hiding and actually said what they think , instead of this attempt to try and seperate Israel , or Israelies from Jews.

    besides the comment I was responding to specifically said Israelies, not Israel
