Some people will complain about the excessive cynicism throughout this website. Others may be too polite to complain.
However, anybody who writes about Israel requires some cynicism. Is there another logical way to view a reality based on miracles? How can you explain a country that defeats all common understandings of the existence and development of modern society?
That is why this website does not represent a rehashing of the writing of other authors. It is a view of the situation that does not appear elsewhere.
It is also an accurate reflection of things that happen in Israel.
Yes, this website has cynical comments. That's my style. Would you like me to re-write it so that it matches your preferred style? Keep it in mind, and let me know when I'm not as busy as right now.
There's more. The world's ISBI population forces thinking people to be cynical.
That doesn't mean that there will be an excess of thinking. People usually repeat what others say without trying to understand what is happening. Perhaps the hard truth is too difficult to accept, and maybe they don't want to see what's going on. As a result, they come up with absurd ideas and solutions. Many of those who are interested in politics are too quick to attach a Rightist or Leftist tag as an identification of, or simple solution to, or any political problem. They may see Israel as a cure for all evils, as long as the country follows the rules that they propound.
Under those circumstances, this website must be cynical.
Got a problem with that?
