Most Singaporeans here are sympathetic to the plight of the
Jewish state
How the hell you know that?
Did you do an opinion poll?
partially becoz Singapore was(and is) in the same situation
as them.
Singapore same as Israel?
Ludicrous.
Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia, Israel imposed themselves
in the region.
How the hell same?
If our ruling elite thinks so, then it IS so...
Depending on how you look at it, Singapore was also imposed in
the region. If Singapore didn't have such a big difference between
percentage of the three races, and if the British gave up Singapore
at the same time as when they gave up Malaysia to rule themselves,
Singapore would not be imposed in the region. The fact remains that
due to the British and certain profiteering mindsets Singapore was
imposed in the region. Remember the Konfrontasi? Indonesia launched
terrorist attacks in Singapore, including the bombing of MacDonald
Hse at Dhoby Ghaut. Isn't it the same? At that time they rejected
our sovereignity(a unified Malaysia)...
