Not really. I hate Israelis. I despise and them. The very essence of Israeli-ism disgusts me. Have you ever heard the term "Israeli pig"? No, it's not an anti-semite term, it's a very legitimate, and, to some extent, truthful, term. I've been to this chocolate factory on Friday and I was on a tour in this room and the tour guide said to not film the room. I noticed this bitch recording it all with her cellphone. It took five shouts from the tour guide and everyone around her to push her and tell her to stop for her to stop filming. In the next room, we were given samples of different pralines. You'd think these people came from slums or something, the way they grabbed at the samples. The lady who filmed before actually took half a plate in order to 'feed her family'. BTW, she had a Samsung Galaxy S. That's the typical Israeli for you.
Now, the thing that really bugs me about Israelis, especially in my community, is the racism and the hatred towards Haredis. I'm the only guy in my class who doesn't want the Haredis to go to the sea. And about the racism, in my class, if you don't despise Arabs, you're considered left wing, and if you identify yourself as right wing, the leftists call you a racist dick. I just hate this world whenever one of these things happens.
I know that in America things aren't better, but at least there I won't have to think 'I'm one of them' when I look at Americans. Currently, my only connection to my society is my religion and my political views, which are things I'm not gonna change.
The only thing that makes me practically cry when I think of my future in America is women. I'm obviously not gonna marry a separatist girl in Israel, as I don't like them at all. I'm not gonna marry any woman from my community, as they're all stupid sluts. The only girls in Israel who interest me in the least are settlers. In fact, the only community I can live in in Israel without wanting to kill myself and everyone around me is the settlers community. Maybe they hate Arabs, but at least they have a reason. Maybe they aren't that well educated, but at least they have a reason. Problem is, I have no future in Israel whatsoever. Whoever heard of an Israeli game developer. Israel is a primitive hellhole in this area.
Now, how doesn't all this mean I'm not a traitor? Because my political views are all for my country. I hate the leaders because they are the ones who will ultimately bring it down. I can at least hope not to be here when that happens.
In a very concise way, hating the country you live in is not treason.
