Thank you analmongus that was what I have been trying to tell them for a week now.
As to who I am, well my name is Yossi halevi. I was born in Israel and served the navy for a few years, finishing as a “Seren”, I don’t take part in any reserve service because I have lived in London for 20 years. (I was injured from an AK47 bullet in 1983 on Sidon beach, recovered and went back to action after 4 months).
I only visit this site during the night because I have 7 month old twins and during the day I run my business here, therefore time is not always there for me to have, unlike a lot of visitors here.
To “Citizen” you said “we are a democratic country” or “the pipe you writing through is going in both direction” , who are you kidding? You can’t even accept an opinion in an open forum - so you call this democratic? Hint: my nickname will give you a clue. Why not start coming up with some information and facts and stop repeating yourself about my spellings and grammar; I wish you could read and write English as I can Hebrew.
You see man, I was like you when I lived in Israel. I used to believe everything people told me from school to the army. I never accepted anyone else’s opinion (let alone a negative story about our country) until I left and looked at everything from a different perspective. I looked, sat and listened more importantly and realised that there is something else out there, not like yourself with an arrogant and snobbish attitude pouring out your ears.
I am Israeli and Jewish first then anything else second, but being away from Israel and far away from the deceiving babble that was taught to me, I can now listen to the other side and decide for myself what I believe. If I can prove them wrong then I will and if I can’t then I will listen and learn. I also will try proving one of my own (Israelis) if I think they are wrong. Surely that is the whole ideology of a forum like this. We call this being grown up, intelligent and having the powerful freedom of speech. Sadly, you have shown none of these traits. In England we have a saying for a person like yourself, it’s called the “ostrich effect” i.e: choosing to bury one’s head in the sand for fear of listening to other people’s viewpoints and actually learning something. Trust me, you will learn so much if you left your head up once in a while. So, rather than attacking people for typos etc., surely it’s more important for you to reply to a story in an adult manner. So what if someone’s spelt something wrong, you must be intelligent enough to read between the lines. In all the forums I’ve ever visited, nobody has had such a problem with participants’ grammar like yourself – we’re not in school here remember. I would rather listen to an intelligent person stating facts regardless of whether they’ve spelt their blog correctly.
Yom Kippur war was a very traumatic event for me. I had a Syrian frog missile falling 100m from my house (Migdal Haemeq), my mum lost her brother (21) on Oct 9 with Gddud 599 (I was 9 years old at the time. All that made me ask question all my life about this war and discover new information. I have every book or DVD whether it is in English or Hebrew and I think there are lots more information to come out one day.
This forum has to accept that you don’t have to be a non-Israeli or Arab or Muslim not to agree with what people say here, that’s why Israel is the only country in the middle east with full democratic values. But for god sake people, start to show some of it and respect others opinion, whether you like it or not.
To “Citizen” I do not know who you are, how old you are or what you do; this is not my business. However, visitors can’t fail to notice that you do not contribute anything of value to this forum and you are Just lowering this forum level. (A hint for the admin)
To listen is to continually give up all expectation and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.
