Two Questions for PM Netanyahu of Israel

My two questions to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel:

1. Is it healthy for a country to recognize its citizens based on race and religion?

2. What do you say to your children about peace, about love, and about the universal belief that all are created equal?

Thanks so much for all the comments, whether we hold same opinions or not. I've never been to Israel and I barely know any Israeli or Palestinian personally, so your opinions really help me a lot in seeing things in different points of view. I don't know why I feel so attached to this issue. Probably one of the reason is that my own country to some extent shares with Paletine the same experience of remaining stuck in this peculiar status. However there are still a lot of things that cannot be compared between these two and are out of my current knowledge, so I thank you again for all the opinions you've shared!

I sort of think that I should have specified the first question by adding the fact that the Israeli government asks Palestinian Authority to recognize Israel as a "Jewish State," which is something PA can never do because that would put millions of Palestinians in the country in an ambashed place and therefore justify Israeli social/political oppression over them. But on the other hand it might as well be a good idea to stay with the question itself so we get to hear the PM's (and also, the rest of the world's, if people would like to think twice about the current reality that in most countries and societies nationalism is still something we rely on for telling who's one of us and who's not,) thoughts on what a country should be like, rather than some justifications for certain policies.

And the second questions, very naive, I know! I can't believe I'm asking THE PM Benjamin Netanyahu about love and peace! LOL But Anyways, we'll see how he replies, if this video is selected. I'll be thrilled!

Hey, when the host say "I must admit that..." was she trying to say "there's another question from her?" ='(

[doritela2008]

well it depends... if you speak about the arabs living in the west bank and gaza so yes they have no rights in israel because they are citiziens of palestine not of israel.... but you can find on the web even youtube the fact that there are arabs in the israeli parlament (there are 3 arab political parties in the parlamet: Hadash, raam-taal and balad.) and also most of the arabs in israel said that they want to remain citiziens of israel according to recent polls.

@eyalalmog1

The difference is the Jews are originally from Israel and the "Palestinians" are from Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

There is no such place as Palestine. Its a human shield set up by racist muslins.

@toddclemmer "jews" Israel uses jews to prove that they deserve the country. Nobody deserves the country Israel and Hamas have both proven that they are assholes and retards that are causing problems for the rest of the world both of you do not deserve the country

[mrkhoros]

israel is not a country and should not be recognized as one. Zionism is leeching off Europe and us. oneday soon enough ... good times will arrive when nobody dies from their bomb and brutality

[spdyrel]

@doritela2008 Seriously the arabs in Israel have the same rights (if not more!) as the Israelis do and they are STILL unhappy. It's BS how the world looks at Israel when all they are trying to do (in my eyes) is protect & keep their land but end up giving up parts of it because of other countries pushing for it. Am Israel Chai

@ariel0785 We're beyond hoping these days my friend, gear up & prepare for the worst !

@Thomasseah1 Malaysia has 2 laws, sharia for muslims and another law for non-muslims. Israel has 1 law that applies for everyone and it also does not have whipping, torture or death penalty. I think Malaysia has a lot to improve as a 'democracy'. btw. Israel stands with Taiwan forever :)

[Thomasseah1]

Hey , Why dont you address these questions to the Malaysian PM too.

Coz they are doing just as what you assume lsreal is doing, the only difference is that the malaysian public or citizens are not in any form of danger that the State of lsreal face daily. They do it here with impunity
