Israeli government didn't launch an Entebbe stye rescue to extract them from the overturned bus. Talk about over indulgent entitled little teat suckers. The Israeli government should make it crystal clear that when you leave Israel, you assume all risks pertain to your welfare. There are no free rides.
2. israelis on bus hurt in argentina
yankel ,   kfar saba   (04.17.14)
reply to no.1 could be these teat suckers are in fact reservists fron IDF who protected you& your inflated ego while they were in the force & having just been honorably demobbed are on anoverseas holiday same as my sons & 20 of his conbat unit did 5 years ago
3. #2 You are not the only ones with sons in the IDF
Al   (04.17.14)
I have a son in the IDF right now. I can tell you one thing, he will not be travelling the shit holes of the world looking for adventure upon his release from the army. He knows better as he was born in the galut and he knows full well what its all about. Israel has to protect it's citizens when they are in Israel. When they leave Israel, they are on their own. Thats how it works.
4. #1,#3: a little pompous ?
jdc   (04.17.14)
Normal people like to travel to see our beautiful planet. They do not have to ask some pompous buffoon for permission. Who told you they are being "rescued" and are not on their own ? When accidents happen, embassy gets notified. True patriotism is expressed through love of your country, not hatred of other people and places.
5. bus accident in argentina
rut ,   karmiel,israel   (04.17.14)
what is the point of all this sniping..just be thankful the accident wasn't more serious
6. Al is correct: take care of Israelis as well as possible.

Israeli citizens should know where their base is and that their country always supports them at the base. This comes with being a citizen, serving the country, paying taxes, being loyal to Israel for good and bad. It does not extend to people called "Jews" outside of Israel because religion does not bestow benefits while citizenship does.

8. #6: "religion does not bestow benefits" ?
jdc   (04.18.14)
Law of Return, grants any Jew (defined pretty liberally) Israeli citizenship. It is a birthright that need not be earned. That is how the country got re-populated, and the way things are to this day. It is so whether or not you can find parallels in other people. And most Jews , in Israel and otherwise, like it that way. You may not like it, but, oh well, learn to live with it.
