Israel is defending itself.
The state of Israel was legally created out of the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The area was desolate, desert and swamp, with some small towns and a few inhabitants, many of them nomads. The inhabitants considered themselves mostly Syrian. The Balfour Declaration issued by the British, who were given the mandate over the area by the League of Nations. Jews have lived in the country since Biblical times. The Arabs from the surrounding areas were lured to "Palestine" by the industry and prosperity that the Jews brought to the region. Envy, hatred and religious fanaticism turned the Arabs against the Jews. In 1947, under pressure, the British resigned their mandate. The same year, the United Nations mandated partioning of the territory. The Jews, though disappointed, accepted the partition. The Arabs rejected it and launched war against Israel. The armies of five Arab countries invaded. Following the exhortations of the invaders, the Arab residents got out of the way hoping to return after victory was attained. They could then reclaim their property and that of the Jews, all of whom would have been killed or would have fled. Israel won. That and that alone is the source of the Palastinian "refugees". Had the Arabs accepted the UN partition plan, there would now have been a state of "Palestine" for the last 58 years. The might have attained a similar level of prosperity, advancement and development as Israel. 50% of Israel's population now includes refugees from Morocco, Algeria, Iraq and Yemen. All were accepted by Israel with open arms and have become successful members of their society. The Palestinians refused to integrate these refugees into their population and instead confined them to "refugee camps". The ones there are now fourth generation and through no fault of Israel.
Hey, here's an idea, why don't the Arabs get these 4th generation refugees and incorporate them into their society? 4th GENERATION?!? That would never happen in a developed nation, including Israel. It shows how incompetant the Palestinians are.

almost none of the world supports israel. It only seems that way to arabs. Israel cant do anything without the entire UN going so far as to actually vote to condemn them.
The world hates the jews. The only time that israel has recieved aid from other nations is when the arabs captured the suez canal. France and England helped Israeli forces retake the canal.
The United states banned weapons sales to israel until about 1980.
Israel has a tough time aquiring weapons from any countries on earth, and the majority of its weapons are modified 30 year old weapons from 3rd world countries. An example is that the main fighter of israel is the kfir, which is a modified mirage IV from 1956. Their main weapon is a combination between the ak-47 and the m16, both over 40 years old.
I dont know what laws you are refering to, because killing insurgents is completely legal. There have been no attacks with the purpose of killing civilians, therefore, all civilian deaths are collateral damage and within legal limits.
Arresting and holding people during war is perfectly legal, and no trial is required if the person was arrested by a soldier in a battlefield area. Civilians that help insurgents are insurgents.

That's really four questions. Well you asked the same question twice.
WHY? (two times) Why is a question that has puzzled philosophers for thousands of years. Plato asked Socrates, Socrates asked Homer and Homer asked Jethro. None of them could answer the question "Why?"
"do (sic) most of the world support Israel?" No.
"does Israel breaks all international laws?" It doesn't.

Hey, some one has to do it. *shrugs* What I find so funny about these type of questions is the Fact that Hezbollah and Jihad have declared that Israel should not exist at all. Truth is they want to murder all th Jews, and, damn, that is not going to happen either. So ... go figure they are at war over there.

Hamas violates each and each and every of the products of the Geneva convention they could and in the adventure that that they had white phosphorous they could shoot it off into Jerusalem in the adventure that that they had the adequate missiles to finish that. i imagine Israel might want to give up Hamas. Israel has made blunders contained in the crossfire and time will flesh out the information. yet by no potential underestimate the right of a rustic to take care of its personal sovereignty antagonistic to extremists. Hamas says they prefer to "bathe contained in the blood of Jews" and "push Jews into the sea." One can not negotiate with those fans seeing as they decline to allow Israel to exist, in any structure or sort. Edit: sure, Hamas has undesirable objective. The blockade has decreased the missiles they could smuggle from Iran. And Israel is often used for construction defenses for its human beings - bomb shelters and missile deployment platforms to intercept Hamas rockets. yet why might want to Israel persistent ignore about those homicidal attacks ? Double Edit: "if it were your children, ought to you be this efficient" No, i must be indignant at both Israel and Hamas. i'm horrified by employing civilian deaths. i ought to extremely be indignant at Hamas for taking pictures rockets close to our properties and colleges. and that i ought to have immigrated to Jordan a lengthy time period in the past, the in ordinary words Arab state that accepts Palestinians and bans loonies like Hamas. once Hamas became elected it ought to were glaring that something poor became going to ensue down the line. i ought to have intense tailed it out.

I guess because they care about their soldiers and if someone has kidnapped them and/or killed them they are going to get their revenge. I say let the tanks roll.
