i'm a 16 year old jewish girl.
i lived in israel for a few months but i am american.
to answer your question:
i love the state of israel.
it is a beautiful country full of culture and good people.
i do not think all jews are good, just like not all christians and muslims are good.
but i will say that i am against violence, on both sides, and in general.
so to everyone who says all jews are violent and want to fight, that is not true.
i hate war and violence.
i hope i answered your question.
shalom,

if that was the case then yes, BUT, it was the opposite, Israel has been the target of everyday attacks for a while now.She has a right to defend herself and keep her citizens secure.Responding to unprovoked terror rocket attacks from Hamas terrorists in Gaza against Israeli civilian populations, the Israel Defense Forces has launched a massive counter attack. People should support the brave men and women in the Israel Defense Forces who by air, water and ground protect Israel's democracy and sovereign borders.
The Hamas government leaders and operatives, which activate terror from within civilian population centers, are the sole bearers of responsibility for Israel's military response. This response is crucial for preserving Israel's security interests.
The IDF Spokesperson wishes to emphasize that anyone sponsoring terror, hosting terror in his house, housing terror in his basement and sending his wives and children to serve as human shields- is considered a terrorist.
The IDF will continue its activity against terror activities according to operational assessments held by the Chief of the General Staff. The IDF is ready to widen and deepen its activity against all terror organizations in the Gaza Strip, as long as it is necessary.
In addition, the Homefront Command and emergency authorities, took all necessary measures for preparing the civilian population. |

Of course they do. If Israel attacks them they should fight back. I'm sure Abbass would love it.
Israel hasn't attacked the Pals they are after a terrorist organization. Any Pal that supports are allows the existence of such on their soil is as guilty as the worst of them. Man woman or child raised to honor them.
With Hamas gone the Pals can get the peace they want or the war can spread. That's up to them. There is a long ways to go and the war hasn't even started yet. There are real horrors to come from the Islamic murderers. |

Yes of course they do. But knows what really happened to break the "truce". It's sort of David and Goliath in reverse. |

And I heard it kicked off again because some Palestinian children threw some stones at tanks so the Israeli soldiers shot them. |

HELL YEAH!
I think they have a right to defend themselves against the Israelis all the time considering that they just waltzed in and took over a country and killed loads of innocent people! I mean how would you feel if your home and country was taken away? And if you're innocent children were bombed without any regard?!
In fact, ANYONE has the right to defend themselves if something like what the Israelis are doing happened to them! |

Israel was attached first. The Jews are not the martors, they are just fed up with the slaying of their people. Remember those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. |

IF the Israeli's had attacked first they would have a right to defend themselves. But, the Israeli's did not attack first. Despite the so-called "truce" Hamas has been showering Israeli's towns with rockets for months. Then, despite warnings from virtually everyone in the Middle East, including several Arab leaders, when the so-called "truce" ended the rockets increased to hundreds a day.
Hamas and most of the Arab-Pals and their supporters falsely claim that the rockets were justified because Israel had placed an embargo on Gaza. But the embargo was also put in place because of rocket attacks and it sure didn't seem to prevent them from getting everything they needed to build all those rockets. The leaders of Hamas laughed at and mocked the Israeli government for not doing anything to stop them in the first few days. Of course when Israel finally responded with their military might, they suddenly started crying "war crimes", which if anyone is guilty of it, they are.
So, when that excuse doesn't work they claim that Israel is occupying their land. But, Israel is not occupying any part of Gaza and in fact the Israeli government forced their own people out of all the settlements there a few years back and made them leave thriving orchards, greenhouses and other businesses behind that the Gazan's could have used to feed their own people. Instead, with the help of Hamas they destroyed all of them. Such a waste of food for all those supposed starving people who now claim they're having to eat grass to survive.
They voted for Hamas because they wanted a guerrilla government just like Lebanon got with Hezbollah. Then they allowed them to build their rocket launching pads in their neighborhoods so they could be used as human shields. Their hatred for Israel is so much stronger than their love for their own children and to them, even a new born baby dying in the battle to destroy Israel is the greatest thing that can happen to them. It' really a very sick and twisted logic they have.
The only people I feel sorry for in Gaza are the toddlers and infants who are too young to have been brainwashed with the hate yet because they don't understand why they're living in a war zone. I personally believe the International Court should step in and remove all the children so they can be de-brainwashed and protected from the wars their parents and grandparents keep starting. |

yes, and if Israel only killed a couple of Palestinians..it doesn't mean Palestine can kill 50x the amount. |
|

THE TRUTH IS HOLY
 |
If that ever happened (that Israel attacked first without good cause), I would support the rights of the Arabs to defend themselves. |
|

Gator

Yep, they even defend themselves when Israel did not attack them first.
and i can't understand why so many people buy into HAMAS propaganda,.
I bet if some one asked if israel has a right to defend itself, most Palestinians supporters will San NO! |

if somebody shoots a gun at you daily and misses.. then you finally fight back.. are you called evil?
Its the intent that counts. |

of course they would, but Hamas attacked Israel first which gives Israelis the right to defend themselves. |
|

Jim E

Yes, but Israel didn't. |

Of course,and whatever crude methods as can be improvised on an as-needed basis. They should be digging tank traps right now. Fire trucks can be used to shoot boiling water at enemy troops. And so on. They have no army or air force. Yes,the media will call them "terrorists" but history will not. As to who struck the first blow,look it up: November 4,2008,the izzies butchered five men in their usual cowardly fashion -from the air - claiming they were "going to" create a tunnel to abduct another Shalit. Naturally they produced no evidence of this rationale for - oh again? - another "pre-emptive" strike. |

yes but the point is that the palestinian attacked israel 1st and now it's a big mass and people being killed for the Hamas stupidity . |

Yes the do, and that is what they are doing. But according to Israel they have to take being starved, their water re-routed to the settlers so they can water their lawns and fill their swimming pools, while the Palestinians have no drinking water. They have to put up with no medicine, not being able to return to University abroad, and losing their scholarships. they have to deal with an attack here and there when the world is busy watching olympics, or the US elections. They have to put up with all of that, and say nothing and do nothing.
Israel government and their supporters will not be happy until they have murdered every Single man woman and child in Gaza, they are evil murdering liars. |
