Given that we pretty much created these countries and drew the boundaries, then yes. We **** it up massively
Yes, my brother lives in israel, (golan heights). Hebrew and english are indeed the main languages, but the learning of arabic is encouraged too as ive found out from my brother, he works with the druze arabs on a daily basis. Many of whom he classes as very close friends.
Do you honestly believe that if they laid down their arms and called a truce that Israel would just slaughter everyone in Gaza. I mean really?
Yes.
It's illegal according to UK law to fight for another army. Why then do we never see a returning ex-IDF soldier being arrested, his family interrogated, bank accounts closed, etc?
Hypocrisy really gets my goat when it comes to the IDF and the UK's support for it.

Its sad really..
Is it? Out of interests which law are you referring to and have there been any prosecutions? - for example brits fighting in the french foreign legion or serving in the Australian army etc..? Dual nationals having to complete national service in their other country?
I'd like to know this too.
No it isn't. There is no law that says that a British citizen cannot fight for a foreign army.
The thing here is that unless it is a recognised official army of a recognised regieme then it would be classed as a terrorist organisation. So fight for Iraqi official army fine.... ISIS not so fine

no an armed group is classed as a terrorist organisation if it's classed as a terrorist orgnaisation
it's not a default position for armed groups which don't fall into the category of being an army employed by a recognised state
True but would you trust the good old CPS to decide after you get back
I would bet top dollar that ukgov would do you for terrorism if the "army" you fought for was not on their "like" list
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/33-34/90 - This act is currently under review and due to be amended shortly.
Another point here is that Hamas was democratically elected by the Palestinian people. They are not just an armed militia as pro-israeli's tend to make out.
They are ONLY deemed to be 'terrorists' by israel and western nations who are allied with Israel funnily enough.
One could argue this point against these israeli 'jihadists' quite easily.

Is the Iraqi army beheading kids and other people?
Not think armies tend to act this way.
Guess you missed what the IDF have been doing to palestinian kids too eh?

10 year old palestinian kid killed today by Israel

in order for them to do that you'll have to have actually broken a law... they still need to take you to court
you're clutching at straws with your argument that joining the IDF is illegal
maybe in future if the IDF went to war against Jordan and some legislation was to come into force etc..etc..
But basically, as of the moment, you're previous point is complete nonsense - there isn't currently a legal bar on a British people joining the IDF
