If I were a Jewish, I’d regret that my ancestor and I were born in Israel.

When a kid grows up in a Jewish family in Israel, the Jewish culture teaches him as a part of introvert fraternity membership which acts paranoid to people from non-Jewish, whether Muslim or Christian. Muslim hates Israel especially coz Israeli army which mostly is Jews pays responsible to make Palestinians suffered. Christian hates Jewish coz according to Bible, Jews have caused Jesus Christ die on the cross. That’s why there’s no way else for Jews to make friends except with their own people. Marry the same Jewish, work for Jewish government. Opening their society for other group is suitable if it’s assumed to increase financial profit.

As those kids grow up to adult, they face compulsory service which is mandatory to all of the people, whether male and female. In the compulsory service, they are gonna be employed as Zionist soldiers, which serves for defense of Israel’s territory. They are gonna get adequate education, good diet, and even home. But as the consequence of their duty, they must shoot innocent people which assumed (by their generals) disturbing Israel’s authority.

There are only a few conditions which can set them free from the compulsory service. Such as, if they’re Arabic Israeli, or if they have physical disability or mental disorders, or if they are married women or women with children, or if they are men who studied becoming nun.

Luckily, the compulsory service doesn’t apply for long for everyone. Each man must become a soldier only for three years, while girls are allowed for two years. These youth are admitted the compulsory service until finish, but most of them prefer not lengthen their contract. War makes much of them prefer becoming refugee to other countries, so they can live in peace without getting annoyed by duty to kill innocent kids.

Problem comes up as they have crisis of identity. Some of them wanna keep their Israel citizenship, coz their parents prefer living in Israel, though they must bear consequence for being condemned by the whole world, everyday. Some other wanna be a citizen of other countries (States are favorite destination, thanks to the close Jewish fraternity), but it’s inhibited coz their conservative Jewish parents insist to stay in Israel. Some other get trouble coz they’re declined by the refugee countries, coz politically the new countries refuse accepting immigrants, especially immigrants with inadequate educational background. Even those who officially become other country’s citizen still get curiosity, due to their Jewish identity history which is religiously sentimental condemned.

Israeli soldier, probably are soldiers whose sleeps are annoyed mostly in this earth. As an individual, they wanna ruin their identity as Jewish peacefully, but they can’t live socially except they execute political will of Israeli government. As they become the executor soldiers, what they do is condemned throughout the world coz they disturb human rights of the other nations. Even after they have done their military compulsory, they still can’t live well as Israeli, thanks to their cruel government who’s cursed by lotta people.

These Jews may not be ever rest in peace.

Someone said here that the paranoid characteristic would follow Jewish wherever they were away.
