Dumb Jew

I am a dumb Jew. There. I said it. 

Allow me to explain:

Back in the Early 1990s, when I was in my early 20s, I voted for Meretz. I supported the Oslo Agreements. I danced in the square in Jerusalem (wearing my army uniform, and with an M16 on my back) when we signed the peace treaty with the Palestinians. I was in the Square when Rabin was gunned down, and I almost CRIED when Bibi was elected in the elections to follow. In the md 90s, I went to Ramallah with friends to show that I supported the Peace Process and that I had no fear and no distrust of the Palestinians there.

I voted for Ehud Barak in 1999 and once again danced in the square when he defeated Bibi and became Prime Minister. I was TERRIFIED of Ariel Sharon becoming PM and thought it was a national disaster for someone SO RIGHT WING to become leader of our country.

And even while we were being blown to smithareens on busses and cafes and at the entrance to shopping malls, and shot at in cars and bombarded with rockets, I always supported the so called "Peace Process".

Add to that the fact that I had an afinity for the protesters in Tahrir Square, for the Libyan Rebels and for the uprising in Syria. I actually thought that maybe if they had some freedom, some democracy, they might become a little less inclined to act like Nazis when it came to Jews and Israel.

So there you have it. I am a dumb ass. A fucking MORON to put it perhaps a little less politely. 

When Israel is attacked by terrorists from across the Egyptian border and eight people die, should we not expect the Egyptians to apologize? 

If the Palestinians do not admit responsibility, should we at least expect a statement condemning the act?

When we are the only country in the world that needs missile defense systems to protect our cities, AND WE ACTUALLY USE IT, should we not expect the world to show some concern, if not sympathy? 

When 1 million of our citizens are sleeping in bomb shelters because they are deliberately being targeted by Palestinian missiles, are we not justified in retaliating, just a little?

See, I think the answer to all these questions should be "yes"........ but I am just a dumb Jew.
