    Because they're one of our few allies over there. If we go against them, then we have no one.

    If we piss off Palestine, or Iran, or whoever, it doesn't matter because they already hate us.

    As for me, I think they have every right to defend their people. Start a War though, not so much.

    Israel can and does do wrong, but they appear to be the lesser of evils when you look at the PLO and Hezbollah and the rest. Israel is a democracy, and has a right to exist, and many Americans support the state, even when they're behaving badly, because we've seen also how the Palestinians and other Israeli neighbors have behaved. Ever hear of the Munich Olympics? The Achille Lauro? Entebbe?

    there ya go.

    Anyone can see that not ALL believe alike.

    It is clearly common sense that some things are done which ought not be, and this is true of ANY nation, not just Israel.

    For the present situation, it is clearly evident that Israel is defending itself, and nothing more, nothing less...any nation would have that right, when another is launching missiles into it daily for a few years' time.

    How long would YOU wait before acting, if a neighboring group were tossing missiles at YOUR people?

    Israel Is totally justified in defending itself.

    We don't believe that Israel can do no wrong. But if they are being attacked, they have a right to eliminate the threat. If Hamas wants to hide behind little girls, it is not Israels fault. In fact, the reason I have no respect for these terrorists is that they hide behind little girls and boys. They also don't believe in the power of God, since they think that God is unable to punish "infidels", so they (the terrorists) must. They are total losers.

    Israel may very well make poor decisions at times, just as any human will. But, they are a special people to Jehovah God because of Abraham, and I believe that they hold a special place in the events of mankind. They are not to be troubled or messed with.

    No one honestly thinks that. When the entire Middle East and Northern Africa hates you, and there are no people who accept you for thousands of miles, it is kinda hard not to. But no country has ever not done any wrong. We need to support Israel cause very few people do.

    i'm professional-Israel. Why could I help a gaggle of Muslim terrorists like Palestine? they are the very similar those that bombed that US Marine barracks in Beruit and the same those that flew planes into the WTC. on the different hand, Israel hasn't continuously executed the right element, yet they in no way damage all people first of all. All they did replaced into made their personal united states, by land that replaced into given to them by the united kingdom, it in no way belonged to the Palestinians contained in the first position, and they wanted purely to have a secure position the position each of the Jews could stay fortuitously. in spite of the indisputable fact that the dam Muslims gotta kill each of the non-believers.

    I do not believe they are capable of no wrong-doing. However, as a Christian, I do believe the Jews are God's chosen and I believe that if you bless Israel you will be blessed, curse Israel and you will be cursed. I also believe that the Palestinians want war more than they want a free Palestine, as evidenced by their refusal to accept Jordan's offer, many years ago, to give them land for their own independent state. God bless Israel and you as well.

    I don't think they can do no wrong, I have just commented before on Israel having the right to defend themselves just like anyone else does. They are no different in doing things wrong any more than we all do. Hamas is certainly no angel!

    It's not that they cannot do wrong... it's we just believe that they have a right to exist as a sovereign state just like everyone else.... It is their land to begin with and would have still been their land had the Romans not driven them out and the many other conquering nations after that.
