It's simple: Israel used to be the land of kibbutzes and socialism
Reader comment on item: Immanuel Kant vs. Israel
Submitted by Base Maven (Belgium), Sep 26, 2010 at 04:16
It's simple: Israel used to be the land of kibbutzes and socialism and the left loved it. Now it is a capitalist powerhouse and they hate it. Cuba is a dictatorship and poor - wonderful. Israel is a democracy and rich - horrible.
