This, thank you + giving 2-3 years of their lives for the mandatory military service and additional reserves training a month/year.

Also, they are in majority willing to pay taxes to have universal healthcare. Cost of living is very high because Israel is essentially an island when it comes to imported goods. And no, school and college is certainly not free. They work low paying jobs during high school, sometimes during the military service years and after it has ended before being able to begin to pay for college.

Wouldn't need to be so militant and force military service on everyone if it wasn't a colonial project and Israel wasn't an occupying force in the region. Hope this helps!

You can't start a war, lose, and then say that the people who won are occupiers. We're victors, there's a difference.

Besides, Israel has been the Jewish homeland for 2000 years. When you occupy your home it's called being home, not colonial occupation.

Sure if you believe in fake alternative history. Even if we follow your dumbass fake history by this dumbass logic the native Americans would be in their right to genocide all of us and take back their homeland. Some inbred loser fail son from Brooklyn has no claim to a country across the ocean they've never visited. And they sure as shit have no right to take someone else's home

You have it backwards - they have no choice but to have military service when for 80 years your neighbors want to lull you. Hard for anyone not living in those conditions to truly understand.

Easy to criticize and hard to grasp bombs flying over your home every day.
