Supporting Israel

I am getting tired of hearing and seeing all of the negative press about Israel and their war with Hamas! People have said that Israelis are barbarians and many other things....why? Because they are defending themselves? One thing that the news does not regularly report is that Israel has had 7500 missiles attack them over the course of the last five years! They have put up with it! Just imagine if Mexico decided to launch missiles at Texas because they believe that Texas is still rightfully owned by the Mexicans (there are Mexican extremists who actually believe this). The U.S. wouldn't just allow this to happen, they would immediately respond!

Israel is saying enough is enough! The reason why we haven't heard of a lot of casualities in Israel these last five years is because it is mandatory for all homes to be built with bomb shelters! Israel has a right to defend itself! Some people say that there needs to be peace made through diplomacy... How do you do that when this conflict has been going on since the Old Testament? These people hate each other more than you and I could possibly ever know!

Watch this video below... This video was taken on December 30th in Florida at a anti-Israel rally!




This young woman says, "Murderer, murderer.... Go back to the oven... You need a big oven...that's what you need."

This is in the United States! I wonder if this same woman praises Allah each time a son or a daughter has explosives strapped to their bodies and blow themselves up in a school or restaurant or mall, just like so many others have done in Israel? I am afraid that there will never be "true" peace in the Middle East until Christ returns.

I have big doubts that you will ever stop this level of hate by sitting across from one another over a cup of tea.....

I love the post. You know, after 9-11 I had assumed that Americans would finally have a small taste what Israel is going through. Unfortunately, I was wrong. It is sickening to see the hate that is spewed at Israel on a daily basis.

When the enemy is raised from birth to hate Israel peace will never happen, no matter what sanctions the world can come up with for either side. Israel also has closed schools in anticipation of attacks that have ended up being bombed by Hamas. You are right. If Israel was not proactive and had these schools been in session the death toll would be much higher. The sad part is that if the children had been in attendance the media would ignore these casualties.
