My name’s Jonathan Boyko. I am 25 y/o PC tech guy, working in Jerusalem, Israel. Prior to my current work, I server for three years in the Israeli Defense Force, Combat Engineering Corps, which taught me a lot. My views are usually conservative, although I am far from being far Right. In my view, I hold sane views. For example: I believe radical Islam should be battled against, hard – but that does not label all Muslims as terrorists. I believe the Israeli electoral system should be changed immediately – but presidential rule really would not work here. I believe the ultra-orthodox in Israel shouldn’t be forced to serve in the military – but should be forced to do at least a year’s service for the country (within civilian infrastructure). That is me. Some like calling me radical. Some like blaming me for not going far enough. But that is what sane is all about. I look at both sides fairly, use the facts and do my best not to allow my judgment to be clouded by emotions. I also believe I should share my view on current US President, Barack Obama. First and foremost, I do not add the Hussein in his name, as many due, some attempting to point out to his non-existent Muslim background. Knowing he is part Kenyan, it is easily comprehendible his father added the Arab middle name and there is nothing pejorative about that. Man’s name is just a name. I do, however, disagree with most of his views. I do not believe more overall spending would solve the problem, and I believe US government should have taken a more creative approach to get out of the current recession, instead of bombing corporations with money. While it might be inevitable in some cases, in others the situation could be solved with minimal influx of dough. I also disagree with President’s stand on Israel: tying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with Iranian issue is wrong – those have nothing to do with each other. The fact that both Israel and Iran are Middle Eastern countries does not make the issues interconnected.
