> 11 Israel: origin of half of the problems of the world, but nothing can be said against them for they are friends of the masters (even masters cannot say anything), so let us talk about drones

How on earth can Israel be the origin of half of the problems in the world? Anyone who knows a tiny bit about geopolitics knows how untrue this is. And Israel gets bashed all the time on the internet, tv, newspapers and even universities where they dedicate whole weeks criticizing this tiny country. How can you say "nothing can be said"? And how ironic that this comment is one of the most upvoted, contradicting itself. Last but not least, saying that Jews control the masters is basically, well you know Godwin and all that.

I'm myself from Syrian/Muslim origin and I know Israel is not perfect, but I am sick of everyone blaming everything on them. We need to take responsibility and recognize our own mistakes so we can fix them instead of blaming everything on the juice. Seriously, stop it. And yes, Israel does build amazing tech so it deserves to be mentioned in here for that reason, not because "we can't say anything" about its politics.

OK, not half the world's problems. Half of the USA's international problems. And if you are American, USA===World

... And I am ;)

Still not true.
