It is imperialist, racist or terrorist. Israelis have to serve in the army for three years. That is an obligation required by the government. A certain Islamic religious leader called the soldiers terrorists and justified using terrorism against them. Noone calls members of the French Foreign Legion terrorists. Noone calls American soldiers terrorists. Japanese marines aren't called terrorists. It is a required duty and it is because of the threat of suicide bombings and terrorism as well as the need to deal with the occupied territories and the threat of invasion.

It has been documented by a number of journalists that the Syrian government requires service in the army for 30 months and that there is evidence that the state sponsors terrorism and recruits certain elite members for this type of training.

If Israel didn't exist, there'd have been no 9/11 or wars in the mid-east.
Unfortunately, the world felt guilty and dumped the Jews in Palestine, causing the Arabs to leave their homes and causing lots of lingering bad feelings.

they're reliable sufficient and if no longer it there are nukes. i think of they are going to and can safeguard themselves against those terrorists. in certainty that the Arabs heavily isn't happy till no Israel exists in any respect. they won't be happy with a 2 united states state (ie Palestine and Israel mutually), or a non violent contract. they decide for to wreck Israel and peace will in straightforward terms postpone the inevitable. Israel have a capture 22, peace won't remedy this subject, that's going to in straightforward terms cover it and permit the two sides to accumulate weapons and then explode into something lots extra effective and uglier. in my opinion i think of this might desire to be taken to that's end. Their Airforce is what holds the substantial. they are able to project themselves everywhere in a be counted interior the region in a be counted of minutes and for each Israeli airplane it relatively is shot down because of fact the state replaced into formed 30 enemy planes have been downed. there's a reason and Armageddon is due.

When Ariel Sharon was Israel's prime minister, I had more desire to speak or write in favor of Israel then I do have now. So yes, I know, and I think everyone knows the Israeli army is just defending it borders and nothing else. But why is it that an "ultra otrthodox" anti foreigner political party is one of the leargests in Israel? Why is it common in Israel to let agricaltural products rot rather then employ foreign workers to harvest it? Why is a fanatic Islamist political party leagal in Israel? Why do most Israeli politicians justify whatever those in the White House do to other countries? And why does the Israeli media preaches so much hatered?

Very informative video on the issue, this video has won numorous awards.
If Israeli soldiers were not occupying Gaza or the West Bank, then maybe you would have a case, because I strongly believe the UN has the right to hand out laws and suggestions that should be followed internationally. But Israel ignored the UN's resolutions, which originally stated, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank belong to Palestinians.

This issue over there is deeply complicated. Who did what and when and why and to who is just too very complicated and actually historic. But we can't go back to the way it was.
Right now, Israel has a right to exist. Right now, Palestinians have a right to exist. They two can't even get together without Syria, Egypt, the US, the UN, Iran, Arabia, and whoever else out there getting involved.
Israel is trying to defend its existence with diplomacy or with their military. And they exist in the middle of a region that hates them.
They do what they have to do to live for another day.
I wish it were different. I wish they could live together. But its not going to be that way.

Someday the Arabs will put down their guns and respect the rights of Jews as human beings who deserve dignity and self-determination.
Until that day comes, Israel needs to hunker down, stay strong, and defend herself the best she can.

Which borders are you talking about ?
Israel must define it's International borders
first just like any country on earth then they can say we're defending our borders.
The problems is not about Jews but about a
groups of people call themselves Zionists Jews
but they have nothing to do with Judaism because they're working on their own political
agenda which is expansion for greater Israel.

I agree with what you have said. There is a big difference between a military target and a civilian target. Anyone who can't see that is a big chicken who would surrender to anything.

Let's just say that the Middle East is full of crazy extremist people. Bush is getting a little too dragged in that craziness.
