Reply #30: Various reasons...

[parkia00]

Settlers, extreme right wing nut jobs in positions of political power sprouting their rhetoric, religious extremist, a perceived belligerent attitude, arrogance (no help from Netanyahu here), the perceived imbalance in fair treatment vs the Palestinians like housing, demolishing homes.... just too many and too tired to list them all out. Many reasons and issues. Some true. Some not. Some undeserved. Some earned. Some bias. Some common sense. Not that Israel is the only one in the area with a reputation problem though. Although is is expected that we hold Israel to a higher standard compared to others.
