Thread-Topic: Israel: One picture says it all...



We are such bullies!





The above message was in my mail box this morning.
I don't know Aviva, it was mass forwaded by a friend of a friend.


A rhetoric that's common in Israeli discourse: oh look, we are so small in geographic size, and surrounded by enemies.

Well, my friends, this does not convince us anymore.

The world is long an open economy, supported by U.S. currency.

In which case, we are all on American land.

Comments:
Not to mention the generalization of putting ALL the arab countries at same state under the same generic name - "Arab countries".

While I have my own rhetorics, agenda (just like the next guy) and opinions about the current problem and the on-going one, I do believe that this picture was probably correct around 1967-1973 and is now just cheap demagogy.
 
Israeli rhetoric enjoys very much to lean on such demagogy, and by Israeli I mean "people who live in Israel".
