The Jewish state has had a long struggle to establish and defend itself againsy enemies from literally all sides. I think that they are justified a big degree of paranoia.
im sorry.....why do people seem to think that that makes it ok for them to treat others in the same way?

as for enemies on all sides - there are not many countries that can boast invading just about ALL their neighbours.....and those that did dont seem to be remembered fondly for doing so.....

paranoia is one thing.....building security fences to subdue a race of people, forbidding marriages between races, oh and lets not forget THEY were the ones that broke the ceasefire.....think that takes 'paranioa' a bit far perhaps??
