I support and admire Israel 100%. I don't discuss it on here, nor do I understand why the hate against the Jewish people continues to this day. I admire how they will do what it takes to survive. I admire how the young have to do military service, thus the majority of their country can fight and protect their country. That certainly couldn't be said for the US. I watched their leader come out and send thoughts to the people of Joplin MO before our own President did.
I have noticed with the more radical sites that people seem to hate Israel. This is a persecution that has been carried on through time and it makes no sense to me. I personally do not think the Jewish race is the boogey man out to get me and my country.

LOL, funny claims you most certainly will not be able to backup with proof/sources, OP.
The Israeli government is terrorizing the Palestinian people and is treating them like trash. You're not the victims anymore, awwkay?! In fact, I think you treat the Palestinians like the Nazis have treated the Jews.

What I find funny is everyone saying Israel is terrorizing the Palestinians.....cause ya they are just sitting their minding their own business.
Its a war guys...they are at war. Israel is America's ally. So yes I support them...but of course I wish there could be peace...but how do you find peace out of that mess.
There's a good book out called "Body of Secrets"...its about the NSA but it has so many stories in it of declassified info...and there are some good and bad ones in there about Israel...great read if you got the time.

Points that influence my opinion:
1. It's the only democracy around that area. I support it for being a democracy.
2. The money we send to Israel is spent on American armament, so it comes home for jobs. That's ok, 'cause we would spend it anyway in the defense budget. We do that with other countries, too, like recently Taiwan. It's a good plan unless you want these allies to fall to their superior neighbors. I personally like supporting democracies.
3. 700 Club showed some reporter in Jerusalem years ago with a live report on troublemaking there. He showed the Moslem quarter with a noisy Jewish parade going through. The Moslem said that they could not do that in the Jewish quarter, and that an parade as such needed a permit. He said the Jews do that a lot because if there is retaliation, it makes the news and everyone supports the Jewish quarter at the expense of the Moslem quarter. Therefore, if you have any control of the media, your position is heard and the opposition is not.
4. Jews and Palestinians are Semites, so I don't understand when Jews call others Anti-Semitic, when they are themselves Anti-Semitic toward the Palestinians.
5. I know it's a Jewish state, but I just can't get my head around the idea of a state being built around one religion. It goes against anything American. To become a citizen of Israel, you must be a Jew, which means you must be born of a Jewish mother. That just sounds so wrong, but I guess it has to be that way to be a Jewish state. How did we ever get into this mess? The Holocaust.
Other than that, I'm good. Your thoughts?edit on 9/21/2011 by Jim Scott because: added 5

We would not see Israel fall to Islam, but you must respect America and American values. If you cannot then your own hate should be your down fall.
Imagine a war against Iran in which Russia or China was a party. The US allied with Israel and the Christian response when they had a glimpse of the true hate the Jewish Israeli has for the Christian.edit on 21-9-2011 by Donkey_Dean because: (no reason given)
