At this critical time, do you feel more loyalty to America, Israel, or... |
|
Hezbollah? Or another country or organization? Be honest.

7. my loyality belongs with all people who live in fear |
|
of the war merchants and the economic and environmental rapists of this world. Families huddled together around the globe living in poverty, fear and uncertainy which turns into cash for the Despicable Ones and their filthy toys and games.

.....to Israel/England/Australia/Canada but I truly don't think Hezbollah will be in the running any time soon.
Oh and by the way, our Constitution, yup that piece of paper, come even before the country because without that all important piece of paper there wouldn't be an America.

10. None of the above. The human race |
|
neither the US or Israel governments are pursuing their respective citizens' well-being. Hezbollah would face natural extinction if they didn't have nationalist hate to fuel them.

I like the kind of nationalism that you can really sink your teeth into, ya know? The type of diplomacy that make me wonder, "Shouldn't there be some people in the world who should die for merely NOT being Canadian?"

My God, how could I not be? This country has been very good to me. I live modestly but comfortably, I'm free to pursue my interests, and there is no shortage of culture or recreational options open to me.

24. Loyalty to the greatest commandment:-- Love thy neighbor-- |
|
and I will criticize ANY and ALL governments--US included--that don't adhere to it.
Loving one's neighbor doesn't include pre-emptive war or bombing the hell out of innocent civilians in retaliation for capturing soldiers of another country.

25. Depends on what you mean by loyalty |
|
If you are referring to an alliegence and a committment of being bound to pursue a course of action then I would have to say that my loyalties lie first with myself, my family and our values which include service toward bettering humanity. If we do not protect our own interests then who will?
But it is also fair to say that I have a deep sense of attatchment and affection toward my country.
Perhaps the better question would be where do my loyalties lie when there is a conflict between personal obligation and national sentiment.

At least they have stayed neutral all these years.
I'm just kidding. America of course. Israel seems to have a much better lobby than america though.
