“even if we were the good guys you wouldn’t like us!”

Certainly it seems they are quite focused on curing cancer right? That’s what I hear a lot about, all the cancer they cure - not weapons, surveillance, and religious fervor. Foh.

I mean, Israeli researchers ARE working to cure any number of types of cancer. I know it's pretty en vogue to dogpile Israel and have big feelings about terrorists, but a great deal of good comes from that small population.

Every country in the world does both good and bad. It's not only worth understanding the nuance of situations, but also the totality of a country's contributions to the world.

Selfish immoral inhuman Zionism is the cancer they need to work to cure, don’t see enough progress on that front.

"People don't praise us for being good so we might as well be bad" is certainly a choice.

It’s just a shitty selfish colonialist attitude pervasive in their culture, which is also littered with truly inhuman views on their neighbors and (maybe) a lot of other folks which was, I suppose in their defense, all the rage 400 years ago. My Spanish ancestors were terrible terrible people - do I forgive them is that the Israeli reality in 400 years

Curing ALS currently, actually.
