I also stand as someone who defends Israels right to protect their country. No one in their right mind would tolerate terrorism.

Supporting Israel and being against terrorism is a massive oxymoron.

Look at all the civilians they have killed compared to the Hamas.

Civilians were killed because terrorists put them in harms way. It's called collateral damage.

No, instead they threaten South Korea and yet for all the saber rattling they would rather negotiate, just as Iran has again offered to negotiate.

I have no problem with Israel defending herself. The US needs to get out of the way as we seem to be making the tensions much worse. I would hope and pray she does not use nukes pre-emptively. I would hope no country would choose that path.

How have "terrorists" put them in harms way? Because they are retaliating from illegal occupation from a war started by Israel 40 years ago?

So every Israeli killed is a victim but every Palestinian killed is collateral damage?

The American mind is so easily brainwashed its not even funny.

Thanks for your assessment of my character. Totally wrong but you are welcome to your opinion. Not everyone considers the occupation illegal. You do know that right?

Yes but by customary international law the occupation technically is. Most of the international community supports a state for Israel and condemns Israel's actions.

Israel was attacked immediately upon gaining nationhood. They fought back and won that war, too.

The Palestinians are squatters. There has been proof of the first temple dug up. our bible said that they would be scattered all over the earth, and then return and be allowed to have their land, again. In fact, that being written thousands of years ago is one of the things that helped me believe the validity of the bible instead of mindless doing so cuz my mama told me to.

Firstly if you read up on the six day war you will know that Israel attacked first not the other way around. Learn your history before you make stupid assertions.

Also basing your political beliefs off a fictional book? What has this country come too...
