(206 posts)How does that happen? I can't think of any nationality whom I "love". Many nationalities have their endearing qualities as well as some obnoxious ones. And every nationality or group of people, delineated by "national" or any other denominator, and consisting of over a dozen or so members - will have its share of both saints and assholes. Having either endearing or obnoxious qualities, or saints or assholes in a population, has nothing to do with their right to defend themselves and their borders from attack.
It's not necessary to love any national group - just to treat them and judge them for their collective actions with a consistent and rational set of rules that respect human rights - especially the most basic human right to defend their state and their families from non-defensive aggression and violence. If the obsessed Israel-haters of the world could get past this simple obstacle there may some day be a chance for peace in the ME.
