Israel is the biggest thread for the region and the way of living in Europe.

Are you claiming Israel threatens to eradicate no-go zones, Pakistani, rape groomers, and the like?

Or are you perhaps being one-sided here and not looking at the horror of us all?

Violence aside, one group (The West) has been responsible for nearly all standard of living, technology and medical breakthroughs and the other has mostly been stuck in some 1800s machismo culture. Im not saying the west or israel are innocent of atrocities, but if you were to take out graph paper and and create a ration of lives of (death or suffering) to (lives/quality extended). One team absolutely MOPS the other.

Murder probably isnt the best way, but the idea that either side is clearly evil or the villain is far off.

Why are you including Israel in “the west”? What great contributions have come out of Israel? Seems to me, mostly spyware and mass dragnets.

Except for some great goa trance artists, I can’t think of much.

Man, a simple google would help. Lets start with the USB flash drive, Iron Dome, PillCam. The drip irrigation technology alone has transformed arrid farming. Factor in Mobileye, ICQ, Check Point's firewall and Waze and this is legit just in the last decade and half.

“Drip irrigation “ is hardly an Israeli invention.

The rest are just very minor software part of the dragnet? Who in their right mind would use check point today.

Everything developed by Israel is tainted and jacked into the Israeli surveillance state.

"In July 1973, however, Mossad assassins shot a man in Norway whom they believed to be one of Munich’s chief planners, Ali Hassan Salameh. In fact, the victim was a Moroccan waiter, Ahmed Bouchiki, who had been living peacefully in Lillehammer for the previous nine years and was killed as he walked home from the cinema with his Norwegian wife, who was seven months pregnant."
