Two perspectives on Israel

Sweden traditionally reacts to Muslim bullying with appeasement and following a heavily biased anti-Israel course diplomatically, while by lip-confessions claiming the opposite. But it is the deeds that count to me, not the lip confessions.

A rare signal of reason and sanity on an issue that seems to be beyond reason and sanity.

I am very pleased to see that about Canada, and am highly against racism in any form. Being in the Navy has taught me many things (coming from a very 'hick' area with 'hick' views), and one of them is that peoples color and background do not matter, it is their actions that define the person.

As far as the threats and the appeasement, I can't say much since I have never been to Sweden but I will say its things like these that need to be stamped out. As well as the other end of the spectrum which is, "our race/religion/people/etc. were abused in years past we want a compensation." I feel like both sides contribute to the growing divide, which is sad. I feel for those people and what past they have endured and even the present Hell they may live in, but to state that you deserve more because of the way you are/were treated is to me extremely arrogant. There will always be people who do not understand your way of life or your thought process due to your background, and you know what you do, accept it, get over it, and keep trying to be a better you than you were yesterday.

I hope that does not offend anyone, just my two cents. If you are a hardworking, honest, and truthful person, you are more than alright in my book.
