Yes Israel reacts to Palestinian attacks with a heavy hand and without regard to collateral damage. I would want our government to do the same if Canada started launching rockets and mortars at civilian targets in our country.
Israel is like a junk yard dog. They have their territory. Screw with that dog at your own risk.
The Leaders of Hamas decide to attack Israel. They get some mouth breathers to do it, while they are safe and in hiding. They absolutely 100% know what the response will be. Hamas is killing Palestinians. They are simply using Israel to do it.
The Israeli settlements are dead wrong. The bull dozing of homes that were owned by Palestinians for decades and more? Beyond wrong, especially when they did knowing that sometimes the houses were still occupied.
The bulldozer that ran over the US citizen? WE should have pulled 100% of their foreign aid from the US.
The slaughter of unarmed civilians on the relief ship they raided? In international waters? The raid that resulted in the death of US citizens as well as unarmed others? What would we have done if say Libya or Iran had done the exact same thing?
Israel is not our friend, they are an ally and a questionable one at that. That said the majority of their actions against the Palestinians are responses to Palestinians terrorism.
