Everytime I hear about how Israel has been hijacked by right-winged dickheads, a part of me dies a little inside. I’d love to one day spend several months in Tel Aviv, hitting sexy clubs and hitting on sexy dark-skinned Middle Eastern girls. But instead I sit in America, looking at blindingly white people. Well maybe this can change. Maybe Israeli are calm-minded, tolerant and generally rational people?
80% of the Jewish population is dissatisfied with how the government handles issues of religion and state. 83% support the full realization of religious freedom and equality. 62% support civil and non-Orthodox marriages; the majority of the public also support recognition of same-sex marriages. 85% of the non-ultra-Orthodox population support reducing funding for yeshivas. (via FailedMessiah)
And yet…all there is to show for liberal ideals is continued zealot-religious bullshit. Another Democracy Fail. Man. White people were supposed to be good at this whole democracy thing. Asians, you’re up next. Don’t fail us (China, N Korea, other countries…if I knew world geography…I’m watching you).
