First of all, always capitalize "American."
Second, Israel is the victim. To suggest that somehow Israel is the aggressor in it's conflicts with the Arab world is to seriously misunderstand the history of the region.
Israel is exercising it's right to self-defense. Admittedly, it sometimes launches preemptive attacks. Also, it sometimes causes civilian casualties. War is messy. The difference though is that Israel never intentionally targets non-combatants, something the Arab terrorist groups frequently do.
As to your "brainwashing" allegation, you're obviously not familiar with media in the United States. Or, you only watch one T.V. station. There are more networks (radio and t.v.), newspapers, and other forms of information dispersal in this country than you could possibly view or read in thousand lifetimes. Any American who desires a full and complete reporting on almost any issue can get it almost anytime. We don't censor our media (unless it shows a bare breast during a half-time show). There is no pro-Israeli conspiracy. I think anti-Semites like you just can't believe that anyone would support Jews.
By the way, I'm not Jewish, in case you're wondering. I'm just extremely well-read and educated.

Isreal has never been a very friendly country. If they feel any threat coming they will strike the enemy with force.
They don't want anyone to mess with them so they go out without telling anyone and strike.
Thats how they get things done, so enemys will think twice before messing with isreal.
Im surprised they didn't go after Iran a few months ago when they threatened all the countrys involved with the UN for trying to stop they're nuclear power/weapons program.
Im also surprised the haven't gone after North Korea for their recent attemps with nuclear warheads.

Listen moron!
Most Americans do not believe that Israel is the victim! We support a state in a region where most do not supports us. It gives a staging ground to take a tactical & strategic advantage over the foreign countries that our "leaders" decided need some regime adjustment!

Because this is a patented trick:
Call media, feed them lies, give them reason to bomb your tv set with lies, then tell stories about 3 stupid soldiers that suffer so much (poor bastards) and mind none of the hundreds of women, children and men already dead by israeli fire.
Just old marketing to run free next millenium.

Because occasionally, the media tells the truth.
