11. Look...
Some of Israel's actions are despicable, horrid, and inhumanitarian. Do you agree?

There is much hatred for many of the inhumanitarian Arab states here as well; in my view, Saudi Arabia is worse than Israel when it comes to treating its own people, as is Egypt.

One problem people have here with Israel is that equal immigration is not allowed. Jews are allowed to immigrate as they wish, but others are not.

Another problem is, of course, the inhumanitarian treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis, but that has been discussed and I know your views on it, which are pretty close to mine. The inability of the Palestinians (and when I say Palestinians I mean only the Arab inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza) to vote in Israeli elections is a part of this problem.

Many here would propose a one-state solution, in which a single state encompassing the entire area would exist, in which equal rights would be guaranteed for everyone. This seems very just at first, but the main problem with that solution is its unlikelyhood.
