Why America Should Help Israel
I think that the U.S. should give help and support to Israel, because Israel is suffering from terrorism. Israel doesn’t have a lot of money, space, or power to control terrorist territories that are much bigger, more powerful, and extremely aggressive.
The U.S needs to help other countries. The main reason for this is that America is a rich and powerful country. Also, since America is fighting terrorism itself, it would be much more comfortable for the United States to help Israel at same time.
Some people believe that Israel is not being fair to its surrounding countries, I disagree completely. Israel recently gave Gaza to one of the Arab countries bur it is now using it to attack Israel. Although Israel started the war, Gaza is being controlled by terrorists. I think that it’s the right thing to start an anti-terrorism (to protect southern Israel) operation particularly [in this case] Hamas.

Can you imagine everyday people are worrying that a rocket will fall on their roofs? People go around in worry; afraid of an attack. Nothing can be done without a worry. (An attack warning is no surprise.) The United Nations is around the globe, and if this was the top priority in their meetings, Israel would regain control of itself (especially because America is one of the most important countries in the United Nations). Therefore I think that the American government should help Israel.

I'm afriad you have not a clue about the Palestine/Israel confict.
Israel has put a blockade among Gaza, no one can get in or out. They are starving them and suffering each and every day. They have created unnecessary pitstops and they have controlled their life.
Also, I think that you are very stereotypical. It makes me laugh that you think that all people TRAPPED in Palestine, fighting for their RIGHTFUL land, are terrorists, and that you think that we should simply torture them more because after all, 'they are all terrorists.'
Also, you think that Israel gave Gaza to an Arab country. Israel withdrew from Gaza, but there is still a blockade around it. There is still much tension in the area.
Also, if you actually look at some current events, read the story about Flotilla. Activists came with a shipload of supplies to give to Palestinians. They were stopped by Israeli forces and commandos were dropped on the boat. In the end, Israeli's shot many innocent people - for what reason exactly? No Israeli's died, only Palestinians.
Quite honestly, I believe that you need to educate yourself about this topic about more before you jump to conclusions like this. I don't know why you would think Gaza is being controlled by terrorists and I honestly think you are just stereotypical. There are innocent people trapped, and frankly you think that the US should support something as cruel as that.

What I'm saying is that the men who strap dynamite to themselves and blow up innocent people are not worthy of life. Those who use women and children as human shields do not deserve life. These terrorists are not human. They murder and torture innocent people. Israel has not only an obligaion, but a duty to eradicate these barbarians.
I would never condone harming an innocent. I find it odd that you think I'm the one you think should be feared.
What other ways are there to rid the world of t.errorism? If there are other ways, I would be more than happy to know them.

Israel did not start the war, it is trying to survive amongst a sea of hatred and an ideology which is rooted in the third century. They are surrounded by countries whose greatest endeavor is the destruction of the J.ewish state. The president of Iran, a J.ewish hating, H.olocaust denying madman, who is actively trying to acquire a nuclear weapon, called Israel a stinking corpse. The people who follow this ideology must be destroyed, because they have no fear of death, and they will lead the world into nuclear h.olocaust if they get the chance.
Also, the UN, is a despicable global organization whose sole purpose is to give the scum of the Earth a platform to verbally attack the United States and Israel. The UN has done far much more destruction than not.
