I can understand both sides but at the same time having been there a few times and experienced the arrogance of the Israelies, my foot is firmly in the Palestine camp.
Interesting. I have been to Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. When you are surrounded by countries that want to wipe you off the face of the earth you have to be tough. Yes some Israelis are arrogant, but so are some Kiwis, Poms etc.
The problem is that there are extremists on both sides and it is the majority of people that suffer.
Mmmmm I think it is the common denominator not some. I do know they have to be that way to survive but saying all that leggy you far preferred the Syrians and as human beings didn't you?
I take people on face value, not where they come from, although we do tend to put nationalities into groups etc.
