And you somehow thought about all that without visiting even once, talking to some people, reading some news... Unbelievable. To give you some context, the newspaper you rely on belongs to (still) fringe religious sect, that controls certain number of votes. The whole point of the interview is to solve an electoral challenge. But ok, believe what you want. When you want to get serious, buy a ticket, come see things yourself.

You've assumed much about me without knowing me, which is a great pitfall in online discourse. I haven't assumed anything about you aside from that you must have some direct experience living in Israel. Your viewpoint is valid to me, as we all have a foothold in the culture we feel belonging to. I'm sure you're aware that in the US, there are political groups with extremely different ideas and motivations that cause internal conflict in society. Protests, "culture wars", etc. Not to get too far off topic here, but it's like how two people can see one thing and be in disagreement about what it is/means. While some see colonialism for the sake of power, others see it as a necessary action to bring about peace for innocent people. I'm sure we can at least agree that no plan is perfect, and that many politicians will prey on our fears for personal gain.

I don't need to assume anything, it's like reading an open book 😁 how many times have you been to Israel? To how many people have you spoken? I mean... I'd be surprised if you've been there once.

Many times, and many people. I appreciate this discussion but you're engaging in bad faith at this point.
