I can see myself living under Israeli rules...they are compatible with Western values. If you are a non-citizen in the territories you are treated worse than 98% of the people on the planet by the Israeli government, comparable to treatment of blacks under apartheid. There's nothing in Western values about that. Problem with your assumption is you are assuming you are an Israeli citizen, whereas half the population living under Israeli rules are not.

Said this before, but it's pretty simple really. I can see myself living under Israeli rules...they are compatible with Western values. On the contrary, living under a theocracy where women are nothing more than chattle and the men are about as educated as a 2 year old, and going to mosques where they preach death to the West and dream all day of committing genocide...well, that's not my idea of a great culture. Interesting.......you don't like it when Muslim men treat their wives like chattle but its okay if Hindu men kill their wives because their dowry isn't up to speed. Actually, you don't like what the Hindu men do but your attitude is that its their culture and they can do what they want. As for the Muslim men preaching death to the West and contemplating genocide, there are extremists in India as well. In fact, there are extremists in every society.........Pat Robertson thinks Dover is going to suffer God's wrath for voting out ID candidates.
