Country B has rag tag army and does its best to defend itself. they fight back when their women and children are massacred by the dozens. Country A destroys the infrastructure of B's cities and prevents its inhabitants from going to work or buyiing food. Country A invades Country B and levels their farms and destroys their agriculture.
Country B is prevented from rebuilding and has its democratically elected government leaders slaughtered. who would you support and defend?

My previous questions clearly stated that Israel is the aggressor and Palestine is on the receiveing end.
Some of you wanted to nail me to the cross

Country A
Because obviously Country B pissed them off by sending over suicide bombers and kidnapping their soldiers
Give the soldier back and crawl on your belly asking forgiveness

Why do I feel like I am being manipulated into supporting country B? Am I supposed to feel sorry for country B and support it because I want to be a nice person?
Politics is not a beauty contest. It is not about who is nicer or sweeter. Politics is about who gets what and how much of it. As country C, I would support country A, if country A has to offer me something I want in exchange for my support and more of it then country B.
I would support country B if it can give me something I want and more of it then country A. However, there is an extra scenario under which I would support country B: if I have reasons to believe that country A, by winning against country B, would become strong enough to attack me. Then I would help country B to prevent country A from becoming a threat to me. And I would do it for free.
This is how politics is played. It is not about niceties and touchy feelings. Take the scenarios above and see whether it fits the real life scenario you are referring to. By the way, if country B cannot find a country C to help them out, and they are alone, it would be rational for country B to not piss off country A too much. They might be able to make it.

It is easy to see that A is Israel and B is Palestine. So do not leave out so much information and expect anyone to give an answer that is well informed or unbiased. If Iran gets nuclear capability they would be more than happy to share with Palestine and Hamas would have no compunction about using nukes against Israel, for that matter the vast majority of countries in the region would gleefully nuke Israel into one big sheet of fused glass. Ask questioned that are not veiled as hypothetical to try and strengthen your position.

I'd support my own country. I think that perhaps you're making an analogy here. Well, it seems that from an objective point of view I would pity the oppressed Country B against the superpower Country A. Nonetheless, I would support the possibly unmentioned Country C, which is my motherland, and I would support its actions no matter what because nationalism for that particular country is in my blood.

I don't remember Country A having a policy of wanting to wipe Country B off the map. Country B should maybe readjust their beliefs before sending terroists into Country A to achieve their stated policy of wiping Country A off the map. Maybe you should check out the history of the conflict before asking a thinly veiled question like this.

It depends. Is country B philosophically denying the right of country A to exist? Is country B completely opposed to any sort of peace between it and country A?
I can't give you a more definitive answer without more details.

If you are talking about Israel and Palistinians, you are wrong. If one of our American soldirs were kidnapped, and others killed by another country, we would consider it an act of war, and would do whatever we could to keep our country safe. Besides, a lot of the Palistinians were going into Israel, and doing suicide bombings of Pizza places, and public buses. Israel did not do those things. They went after those who were funding it. They did their best not to get anyone else hurt in attacks.

Have you served in the military?? Have you ever been there?? You do not have a clue as to what you are saying. If it was not for the brave men and women who have given their life, someone would be at your door right now. If you did not answer they would break in and take you hostage. You will be tortured have objects inserted into you anus until you talk, then you will be killed. Think about your question and how stupid it is.

Well I know what you want me to say, so I feel this is a set up to defend something!
Ask it with the countries involved!
I would not defend this country no matter what. When we are worse than they are, what am I then defending! No thanks! Bought into that S_T once, never again, and they weren't trying to take away all my rights under the constitution!!
