Support for Israel - Part II
It was when I started to see what has happened since Israel has become a state that I gained some background on why things are the way they are.
The United Nations has many condemnations against Israel, and we always head how Kofi and the rest of the UN 'condemns' violence from 'all sides' when addressing the problems with Israel / Palestine. This is another attempt to make all violent the same - whether it is a targeted strike against a Hamas leader, or if it is a bombing of a bus in Jerusalem it makes no difference to those people who sit around offices in New York, Geneva, and elsewhere.
The media also is part of the problem because, as the saying goes, "If it bleeds, it leads."
The Israeli military follows rules and always attempts to minimize collateral damage when engaging the enemy. The problem is when the enemy decides to pick civilian areas as the battleground areas. Palestinian 'militants' attack Israeli forces in a way that makes firing back a potential civilian blood bath.
These people do not care about life, rules, or decency and it shows in their methods and policies. How can I back such people? While I have nothing but sadness for those children growing up in the mess, it is those people who raise them that cause the perpetuation and as such there is no way for me support them, or their actions.
When a society cares so little about teaching their children good values and what is right and instead teaches them to hate people (Jews) and to go play around tanks there is a level of neglect impossible to fully explain and this is what happens thus I can never support it.
