I LOVE ISRAEL! That is a very broad statement, therefore I will elaborate. I view Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, a place where any Jew from around the world will automatically be accepted, a place where our ancestors were destined to be, and a land that was given to us by G-d.
After studying abroad at Tel Aviv University in the spring of 2007, my outlook on life has changed, mainly because of my experience living in Israel. I view the culture as SO much more laid back then America (pre 1990's), and feel that the Israeli mentality is one that many people have forgot ever existed. The interest of Israel is protecting itself and its citizens, from those who want it destroyed (which is every surrounding Arab counrty). The fact that Israel (and by Israel I mean the soldiers, government, and all other aspects that make up a country), fights everyday to keep its existence alive and strong, shows how important the small country is. Israel has tried to negotiate time and time again with Arab nations, but they think the only solution to peace is the destruction of Israel which will never happen. Israel is a homeland of the Jewish people and needs to remain that way forever. Millions of people from around the world have traveled to Israel in order to experience the amazingness and incredible feelings the country often gives. I know I am just stating facts and this probably isint making much sense but I know that Israel needs to exist for so many reasons and I'll probably write another blog soon about why

What you've presented here is passionately and sincerely delivered entry that also happens to correspond very closely with the standard story that's been used to create emotional attachments to Israel. I do not want you to question your own feelings; however, I'd be interested to hear you go over exactly where you first heard these ideas (which I'd ask you to see as positions in this case, rather than as facts). Again, I do not aim to question your beliefs; but I do want to know how they came to *be* your beliefs.
