Ten years ago I was in Japan with my Japanese friends we went to a Japanese restaurant in ginza district, then my Japanese friends had a lot of sake.. After that they started talking about the Americans bombing to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how they would take revenge one day... I was so afraid when I listened to them.. The way they talk and their faces were very serious... What I want to say is today is different than yesterday our history that we used to read was only written (less impact on a human memory) but today's actions (history of tomorrow) is documented with pictures and videos, therefore countries or people (especially western countries) should really be careful about what they do or say against others... Respect to humanity.

India and Israel are great friends, both are progressive and have the same geo-political challenges .... Indians love Israel !!

You never make peace with your friends, you only make peace with your enemies, you make friends with those you are at peace with. Trade is more profitable than war.

It seemed impartial enough to me, all the dislikes are for political reasons.

I wish someone would do some Stratfor parody analysis videos for the kingdoms of Middle Earth - eg. Gondor, Mordor, Rohan, Isengarde, the Shire, etc

From the first moment that Jews returned to their land and re-established Israel, the next day most Arab countries went to war against Israel! God helped them in the wars. I wish them to stay strong and believe in God, that's the most important thing.

Israel is surrounded by states Epypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq that want it wiped off the map: but Behold, The God Of Isreal neither slumbers nor sleeps. Psalm 121:4

[YeszCore]

... i think it would've been insightful and important to add in how Israel is surrounded by states that want it wiped off the map

"And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.'" [Qur'an 17:104]

And not one mention of "Palestine" in the entire Koran.
