49. When it comes to the Israeli/Arab conflicts
I am not somewhere in the middle. I am firmly on the side of the Israelis. Israel is a modern social-democratic country with progressive values and a mostly secularist population.

I feel for Palestinians who have been displaced, but their terror attacks against Israeli (Jewish) civilians over the years have made it difficult for Israel to live in a peaceful co-existence. If Arabs did not attack Israel, there would be no conflict, period. It that simple.

Many Arab-Israelis still live within Israeli boundaries and they have every opportunity to be part of a democratic country. The majority of Palestinians bet on the wrong horse and ended up losing out by support terrorism and violence against the Israeli people.
