Are any Jews approve of Israel's military actions......Only Jews answer....?

Question

Faith is in your heart....

Answer 1

I support israel's actions.
They are not trying to kill civilians (which is why they leafletted towns beforehand -- a measure above and beyound the geneva conventions requirements). However, if they don't fight then hezbullah -- which is specifically targetting civilians -- will continue to fire rockets into israel.

so, isreal's fight is an unfortunate necessity.

Answer 2

Maybe it would have been better and made more sense to ask which jews don't approve, given that it's Israeli jews who are taking this military action.

As a non-jew with an opinion the whole world should be condemning Israels actions, especially in not allowing a ceasefire to take effect. Their typically over the top reaction and the escalation they have wrought in this shameful affair helps no one.

I saw a reference to Northern Ireland, which stated that following Israel's logic, the UK should have bombed and shelled the Belfast Roman Catholic areas and Eire in response to IRA attrocities. Fortunately we didn't nor would it ever have been coonsidered, but the Israeli forces seem to be playing by different rules and thought processes to the rest of the civilised world.

Answer 3

I am a Jew and I support Israel's actions. Hezbollah is responsible for kidnapping soldiers. Hezbollah is responsible for starting the missile attacks. Hezbollah is a terrorist group that, unlike Israel, deliberately attacks civillians. Israel is constantly threatened by its neighbors. The last thing it needs is a group of people killing its citizens.

By the way, a ceasefire would be great, but in reality, within an hour of a treaty being signed, both sides would be firing missiles at each other.

Answer 4

Yes i approve 100%. they at least try to protect civilians by warning them when attacks are coming, telling them to get out of the way. Hezbollah and Hamas make the civilians stay so they can be killed and they can use the death pictures to create more riots. Israel respects life. Hezbollah does not. It is a hate group like Hamas. All the deaths- lsraeli ane Lebanonese are due to islamic terrorism. The Israeli only want to get the terrorists. The terrorists want to kill civilians - jews and muslims.

Answer 5

I am of Jewish heritage and I am Pro-Palestinian, however having said that...Why is it that Israel is always the one that has to concede anything? Your Arab/Muslim bretheran aren't giving up any territory to assist in creating a home for your Palestinian brothers. In fact the neighboring nations treated them worse than dirt when they left Israel (by their choice I may/might add). Those that choose to stay have a better life living along side the Jew in peace than those that choose to leave and fight for what? PEACE!

Answer 6

Does not their Talmud say, and do not their rabbis write, that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is a sin if he kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does not keep his oath to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob, as they do with their usury, from a heathen is a divine service. For they hold that they cannot be too hard on us nor sin against us, because they are of the noble blood and circumcised saints; we, however, are cursed goyim. And they are the masters of the world, and we are their servants, yea, their cattle....

Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying too much, but much too little. For I see in their writings how they curse us goyim and wish us all evil in their schools and their prayers.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Absolutely! The international community's so-called "peacekeepers" have not enforced previous agreements and have allowed Hezbollah to build up their armaments supply and now they're asking Israel to give them a 2nd chance to protect them!! HA. Fat chance! How many nations do you see stepping forward to commit troops to keep the peace in a demilitarized zone???? Do you think the Israelis are crazy enough to call a ceasefire before the international community is willing to commit a few of their own forces? In your dreams!!!

Shalom

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD

Dear World,

I understand that you are upset by us, here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. (Outraged?)

Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Today, it is the "brutal repression of the Palestinians"; yesterday it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War and the Sinai campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.

Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you.

We upset a German people who elected Hitler and upset an Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians and Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the history of world upset.

We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us.

For centuries, we upset a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions, and we upset the arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit.

And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you (and thus love you) - and have you love us and so, we decided to come home - home to the same land we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.

Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please.

Having left you and your pogroms and inquisitions and crusades and holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state, we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East

Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The "radical" Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.

Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel.

In 1920 and 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron.Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron in 1929.

Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967?

And when you, dear world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a "Palestinian State" alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried "no" and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that "upset" caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of "upset" then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who ­ when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state -attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "itbach-al-yahud" (Massacre the Jew!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not "repress" them.

Dear world, you stood by during the holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres.

You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well ­ think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.
