Nonbiased opinions about the state of isreal?

Whenever I mention isreal, my brother insists that it is a "terrible country" referring to some atrotious acts of which i am unaware. I have read the entire wikipedia article on them, and watched many documentaries and researched them on the internet. Other than drafting the majority of its citizens, i dont see what theyve ever done that was any different than every other country in the world.

    Israel is just like every other country, in that it wants to survive and thrive. Also just like other countries, it does some good things and it does some bad things. Unlike most other countries, it is surrounded by other countries who for the most part do not like it, and that makes Israel do some things we probably wouldn't agree with. Because other countries haven't always been fair and above-board with Israel, Israel isn't always fair and above-board with them.

    your brother is a fool.israel is a light in the world.ALL of it's citizens support their country.and will fight to protect it.they are hated for no good reason.as for america.the freedom that we have enjoyed for so many years is being taken from us every day.and since the younger generation is being brain washed into believing we are a horrible country.but do NOT care to learn of all of it's history.and how many countries around the world came into being.they can be talked into any thing.and there laziness will be there doom.and will NEVER know what they have lost.they will wake up one day and ALL they took for granted will be no more.and only then will realize what it was that they LOST.never to be found again.a country that HELPED EVERY country in the world.and our thanks was to be hated.they HATE our freedom.but it will be lost by the very people that have it and does not realize how precious it was.INGRATE ALL.

    I abhor double standards. People somehow think Zionist terror to create the state of Israel was justified, but Palestinian terror to create a Palestinian state is not justified. Terror is either right, or it is wrong. You cannot have it both ways.

    I would never live there. It is extremely war torn and violence is prevalent. However it is an important ally to the US in the middle east.
