The war between israel and palestine is not a war of jews against muslims. Muslims and Jews do not have to hate eachother just because of the conflicts in Israel. It helps when both sides can look at the mistakes of both instead of blindly siding with one. The Palestinians are not the bad guys; they have a story too. Both are at fault somewhere.
Why should Jews always support Israel regardless of who is right or wrong? I am a muslim but I dont always support muslim countries for their actions just because we are both muslims. If everyone is going to pick sides like this peace will be impossible.

First, it's Israel.
Second, some ulta religious (aka extremist) Jews believe that only Moshiach can bring Israel into being, and having a government do it is blasphemous.
I don't agree with them. Without Israel all the Jews would be dead by now.
Also all Jews don't have to support Israel. Israel is a government with flaws like any other nations--I recognize that, but I still support it. Others recognize that and don't recognize that. No big deal.

Some people blindly follow the things others tell them to. I have issues with many things Israel has done, but I am not "against" Israel. I have issues with many things the US Government has done, but I am not "against" the US. There is no country I am completely against, no groups of people. There are things groups do, actions they take, maybe even their philosophies, that I find wrong, but to me there is no way a person can be against a country or large group of people 100% without being either horribly misinformed, or a blind fool.

Well, from what I understand, it could vary from political reasons (treatment of the Palestinians?) to religious reasons (Israel isn't supposed to be created yet).
Also, if you could, could you clarify by what you mean by "this site is just wrong"? I'd like to know your opinion of it.
