Because Israel sits and takes these errant rockets being launched into their country for so long, only because they're Jewish and the muslim people are raised to hate Jews.

They have a right to protect themselves. If your neighbor was randomly firing a gun into your house because he didn't like you, would you sit and take it, or would you go handle your business.

It's apparent what YOU would do, but most of us would handle the situation.

Out of curiosity, how do you vote on abortion?

Israel has been far to forgiving. They have prolonged their plight because of the policies similar to Obama's.

O'bama doctrine
1. The enemy is misunderstood.
2. You just have to talk nice, nice...
3. Give the haters more money to use against us.
4. Look busy and people will think you know what you're doing.

Basically, you are saying we make the rules and other weaker countries must follow them or be attacked.

Just don't blame them for resisting...Nobody likes a bully.
so you are saying that iran is not at all responsible for supplying terrorists such as the hamas and giving them a place to build their army?

The Jews took the land from the Arabs. The Arabs were kicked out of their own country and they are not allowed to return. Do you now feel enlightened?

Attempts to claim otherwise have no legal validity and are morally bankrupt and politically dangerous since they basically preclude the achievement of peace.

Reuters Report: Investigators reporting to the United Nations Human Rights Council enumerated a number of human rights violations committed by Israel during its Gaza incursion, including the specific targeting of occupied civilian homes and the use of children as human shields

One need only look at the images of the victims of its strikes against residential neighborhoods, cars, ambulances, and factories to see why most of the dead being extracted from the rubble are civilians.

Israel is the only nuclear country in its area with no open access to their inventory and no signatures on any non-proliferation agreements. It maintains an apartheid style system in the West Bank with separate roads and services for different groups.

And here is the thing: While Israel claims to be living in the constant fear of terrorism, the death ratio of Palestinians vs. Israeli is roughly 13 to 1. Yet, somehow, they are the victims
Israel has TWICE invaded its northern neighbor, Lebanon and continues daily violations of its air space. And its reaction to the rockets fired by Hamas was a disgraceful and unbalanced reaction.

I don't wish any harm to any civilian wherever they live, and whatever they choose to believe, but supporting Israel in the face of its disgraceful and unbalanced view and/or behaviour to its neighbours, is hypocritical at best. I fear that with that nut job now back in power, things will only get worse.
oh yes, the UN human rights counsel. isn't that headed by China???

I wonder what your reaction would be if you lived in a small house, surrounded by other houses whose occupants wanted you dead. Not only that, but they randomly shoot at your house every day.

some of y'all say that isreal has no right to be there. But do we really have any right to be in America? We killed off the natives, fought back the mexicans. What gives us any more right to be here in the USA?
I think all of y'all should move back to your ancestors countries, you have no right to be here!!!
