You didnt foster it cause that wasnt your fault. You dont have to take responsibility for hate but the constant fear is making Israel act out against everyone blindly which is why you have people in your own government that are proud of the murder of former prime ministers and an government filled with extremists who think they can say the exact same thing as hamas and pretend like everyone wont notice. There will never be peace as long as likud is around.
The thing you pretend all muslim states agree on is simply not so. You would not have the cease fire with the PLO or the abraham accords if that were true.
Israel is going to have to take responsibility for the humanitarian crisis it blindly creates.
Im rather tired of funding this extremely paranoid state.
The ceasefire with the PLO as Arafat admitted was just a technique he used to stall for time. Arafat admitted he had zero intention of ever accepting a Jewish state and only signed the treaty you refer to as a stalling tactic. I am surprised you skip that.
By the way you may not think so, but Israel unlike the Muslim Arab world and its many terror cells, openly admits in its elected assembly, courts, synagogues and media, that it is faulty and has made mistakes-you will not find that in the Muslim Arab world with due respect.
Its easy for you to call Israel a paranoid state because you do not live in such a small space so close to terrorists and missiles coming at you. You talk like someone thousands of miles from a conflict who has never been shot at or realizes just how small Israel and the West Bank or Gaza is.
Are you paranoid because you fear people in questionable neighbourhoods or if you walk late at night on a street? Really? Paranoid to you is survival awareness to others.
I do not pretend. I lived there. I witnessed the deaths. I do not pretend. I do not pretend to speak for an Israeli and claim to understand their existential fear. I do not pretend or intend to speak what causes a Palestinian to fear the IDF in uniform.
I do not pretend at what wearing the IDF uniform means or why having to kill terrorists is not some kind fo paranoia nor does it arise in a vacuum because Israel has no reason to believe what these terrorists will do and have been doing to Jews in the ME in modern times since the 1920s consecutively and prior to that, dating back to earlier periods of history.
WIth due respect you speak with very colonial, imperialistic, patronizing terms and references that trivialize and belittle the history and reality of the oppression of Jews in the Middle East and the steps they have had to take to survive. I must ask do you call Palestinians the same terms or do you only see them as trauma victims?
You remind me of someone telling a woman she should not fear walking the streets at night alone or going to a parking lot to get her car in a large apartment because that would be paranoid.
You need someone to take you on a jeep late at night in the Negev and see how easy it is to fnfiltrate to kill or clean up a body from a nail bomb. That is the reality of why what you call paranoia I call a fear.
Its some times referred to as seige mentality, ptsd, general anxiety syndrome, dystonia, depression, all kinds of names for shell shock or for people who live under constant threat. It causes the body to develop a kind of hard outside shell that appears to you bitter and paranoid but encases a soul or spirit struggling to exist.
I see it in people on both sides. Do you or only on one side? You certainly lump all Israelis into a simple genera; category for hoisiting moral culpability on them for the conflict they face as if they and they alone can stop it.
