text: I used to believe the same things that you do until I spent a lifetime there one week. Israel is not a democracy ... it is an apartheid state that treats arabs as less than human. Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people is criminal and it's not just a matter of taking their land and building more settlements ...they actively fly over and poison Palestinian farm crops, poison wells, build sanitation facilities on hill tops that drain into Palestinian water sources ...you name it they have done it. Despite the lack of Semitic blood or DNA evidencing their ties to any of that land the Israeli's have bought into their own press about being God's chosen people...despite rejecting Jesus as the Messiah and centuries of killing Christians and disobeying God's commandments
