>> First off, Israel != Jews But Israel IS the Jewish Homeland. And when you attack Israel, rhetorically or otherwise, you are attacking Jews. Period. Most of the people in Israel believe that. Not unlike when you attack the United States verbally or otherwise, most Americans feel THEY have been attacked. >> More Jews are American than there are Israeli Jews. Many of whom continue to look at Israel as "their homeland." Not all. But a very large number have a strong sense of allegiance to Israel. >> Disagreeing with Israeli policy does not mean you are persecuting Israel, much less the Jews. No, but accusing Israelis of conducting genocide, particularly in light of their own history, is highly offensive and I would certainly view that kind of lying misrepresentation as persecution. >> I met many people with numbers tattooed on them, almost certainly many more than you have. I doubt it but I don't need another pissing contest. The important point is that you are constantly here spouting anti-Israel rhetoric, and unless you're referring to Arabs in Israel, I think it is clear which sub-group you're referring to.

Bedouin Arab Village Is Most Pro-Bibi Town in Israel by Susan L.M. Goldberg March 22, 2015 - 12:18 pm Blogger Elder of Ziyon writes: Deebo at Israellycool looks at some interesting statistics from the Israeli elections. One of the facts reported is that the most pro-Likud town in Israel is the village of All Naim, where 77% voted Likud. Al Naim is a Bedouin Arab town. Why did they vote for Bibi? NRG went there and asked. The NRG report is in Hebrew, but the basic story is that the village has been fighting for basic electric and sewage services for years. The Netanyahu government proved to be the one source that finally started making progress two years ago. As the secretary of the settlement explained, the overwhelming support for Bibi and Likud was due to the fact that “there is something in our heritage that we remember a person of good things.” Imagine, voting for a politician on the basis of what they’ve already accomplished instead of what they’re promising to do. But, as EoZ explains, because this overwhelming Arab support for Netanyahu/Likud doesn’t fit the mainstream narrative, the chances of it hitting big press are slim to none. Illustrating his point, the story was covered by the Israel paper Haaretz, which sourced unnamed residents of the village who claimed the local council told the residents how to vote. Their article ended by quoting a disgruntled Arab from an adjacent unrecognized Bedouin village of 80 residents. How relevant the quote was to the story of Al Naim, versus the “Right is racist” narrative? You decide.
