[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I watch the hate-fest, as I read posts calling for the return of all of Israel to the palestinians (one poster), I think it is worth discussing what Israel fears....that leads directly to understanding Israel's actions (right or wrong).  I am not trying to justify wrong doing, but rather try to arise at a common understanding.

First and for most , Israel fears its annihilation;  the distraction of the country and more importantly the jewish people.   This is the basis for 90% of the conflict: Israel's fear.  (when Iran and other entities call for annihilation of Jews; when Hamas call for the destruction of Israel; when the adversaries question the historic events where this occurred, that increases the fear).

Every aggressive action of Israel ties into this fear.  Everything, from the over-the-top response to ineffective weapons to Israel's development of a nuclear arsenal.

This does not justify the actions....but when people accuse Israel of intentionally killing children, the Israeli's look at it as survival.

This is what is driving Israel's action.  [/quote]

Israel is insecure and paranoid?  Who knew?  Well, thanks for explaining that its forces aren't killing Palestinian kids just for target practice.   I feel so much better now.

Obviously, the more civilians Israel kills, the more despised Israel becomes globally, and the more insecure it then becomes.  Perhaps it needs to rethink whether its current approach really will achieve its intended aims.  The current operation in Gaza alone has created an entire generation around the world that likely will look on Israel for the rest of their lives with the same disdain that post-WWII baby boomers in America viewed Germany.

The more candid assessment probably is that a Zionist state simply is not sustainable in that part of the world any more than an apartheid state was in South Africa.
