The people whose necks hurt when I write about the Middle East tend to live in Brooklyn or Boca Raton: the kind of Zionist who pays another man to live in Israel for him. I have nothing but contempt for such people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day.
Many of Israel's Arabs, which see themselves as part of the Palestinian population, feel the pain of their brothers across the green line - a pain they feel the state of Israel is responsible for.
Look, you're either a Zionist or an anti-Zionist: there's no middle way. Everyone who supports the state of Israel is a Zionist.
If I wasn't going to live in Israel, I had to live in New York.
There are many Israelis who live abroad and love the country.
Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist.
Let's be honest: discrimination against Arabs exists in Israel.
The Middle East is a land of great injustice. The Israelis can claim - or wish to, at least - that Lord Balfour's Declaration of 1917 promised Britain support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, which didn't just mean the left-hand bit that became Israel.
There are people who think I am Israeli. That's rubbish.
I have absolute respect for Israel and people in Israel who are critical of their own country.
