And occasionally the world hands them a country. Oh wait, that happened like twice in human history.

The point is that their enemies have fought them since the start and ever since. They have lost each time.

This current siege of Gaza is just too much. I will hold the Israelis collectively guilty in my sphere of interactions with them just as they have done to the Palestinians.

Israel is happy to never have you.

Palestinians are the most free people in the Arab world. If they'd stop electing terrorists and blowing themselves up things could be quite nice for them.

Let me remind you:
Israel calls and drops leaflets telling the Palestinians to leave for their own safety. News reports say many don't leave because they don't want to be told what to do or Hamas won't let them
Israeli soldiers have lost their lives today giving advanced warning to the enemy of their intentions to bomb
Israel treats Palestinian wounded
Israel heeds ceasefires
Without the iron dome, the death toll on Israel would be catastrophic

Judaism places such high value on human life that Israelis will trade hundreds of prisoners for one- just one- Israeli.

Enough is enough. Israelis have lived in fear everyday of their lives. It's time to destroy those tunnels and missile sights once and for all.

Just shut the fuck up. If Israelis lived in such fear they wouldn't set up lawn chairs on the hillside in Sderot and munch on popcorn to watch the bombs kill innocent children in Gaza.

Israel is a fascist state and its leaders should be captured and tried as war criminals.

I think you're the one who needs to shut the fuck up. Has Israel ever started any of the wars it's had to fight? This so-called fascist state?

If the iron dome didn't exist and the death toll was more even, would you still call israel the aggressor?

Israel is damned no matter what they do. They are a tiny little country surrounded by millions of Arabs who want nothing more than to see its demise.

Thank you. +1,000

Ha you think the death toll would be even without iron dome? How many Israelis were killed by rockets before it existed?

Well dice you asked, they were the aggressor in Suez. They launched a surprise attack to kick off the six day war. In 2006 they invaded Lebanon over two captured soldiers, which is hardly a solid justification for an invasion or if it is then Israel should stop doing the same. And this conflict got started when a triple homicide turned into a crackdown on Palestine, and now we find out it was two people not acting under any Hamas orders.

Because Israel is and always has been the Jewish homeland. In his history, other than being under the Ottoman and Roman empires, Israel was governed by Jews. Jews have a far longer history in Israel than any other nation.

Um, the Chrokee have a longer history here.
Also, Palestinian DNA goes right back to that land along with the male Jewish lineage.
Jews are very much mixed with people from other lands, like Italy, Poland, Yemen, Algeria.

The Jews who were in that area originally are the ancestors of Sephardic Jews. Most European Jews are Ashkenasi Jews. In any event, a lot of people believe that the bible states that that area is meant for the Jews.

So now we base real estate according to the bible? The bible is the deciding voice of who gets to own what land

Much less, our GOVERNMENT was not ever supposed to consider that Bible.
SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE.

Right, and the creepy tunnels and increased number of rockets weren't "aggrssive." Nope, nothing to see there....

In 56, Israel was the aggressor (With British and French support). In '67 Israel was blockaded, which is an act of war. Nassir also threatened Israel, basically wanting to while Israel off the planet. Israel could not afford to stay mobilized, and attacked Egypt and Syria....and Jordan after Israel was attacked. Israel won on all fronts.

later, Israel voluntarily withdrew from Gaza...

You want to talk about what's aggressive, how about this? children who are 5 years old, arrested? children beaten & tortured? palestinian children when arrested are kept in cages outside overnight during snow storms. Or how about food being thrown or their heads while dogs are unleashed to eat the food? If this wasn't true, it would actually look like a very sick joke....

Hamas digging tunnels near kindergartens, children waking up with nightmares resulting from hearing the sounds of tunneling, rockets being indiscriminately fired, the cycle of suicide bombers, the dehumanization that results from endless and vicious antisemitism in the Middle East, Europe, and elsewhere ... for sure, no one is blameless here, but for crying out loud, just let there be peace between these people at some point.
