Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

The U.S. has not provided unilateral support. Because of U.S. involvement, Gaza was given to the Palestinians. However, the Palestinians apparently will never be appeased until Israel is gone.

The Palestinians are viewed as terrorists by the world. The U.S. holds a dim view of terrorism (I wish the U.N. did).

Answer 4

What do you mean by "unilateral support"?

Other countries support Israel.

The US supports other countries, including many Middle East Islamic countries.

But why does the US support Israel? Because, if not attacked by its neighbors, Israel would not attack them.

Answer 5

because the very existence of Israel is just a game. entertainment for the old farts who created it in the middle of "Arab land" knowing full well all the Arabs would focus on something so petty and allow it to rule their daily life for generations. While the kings and sheiks family's get richer and richer, the less fortunate focus on something so stupid. royalty, what a f-ing joke.

Answer 6

Right is right
Israel plays by the rules and tries to avoid fighting but the terrorist kill for pleasure
mad dogs must be exterminated

Answer 7

"bye rules" and "persecuted" my ar-se! They have a coutnry under occupation... the only cause for so much hatred and probably one sole reason that terrorism is winning any supporters.

They have carried out a fifty year long genocide of palestinians and u say show "one civilian targetted"!!! U have to be blind or a moron to say that.

Answer 8

Because the Jews are the persecuted of the world and theynhave a right to exist.

Answer 9

1) It's a democracy
2) It has values that are similar to American values.
3) It is moral. (Show me one attack when Israel was targeting civilians).

Answer 10

We must stay on the side of God's chosen people. To not do so would be stupid.
