The Story You Aren't Hearing About Israel
AOG, Barcelona
I have always supported the state of Israel. Despite everything else, it is the only democracy in the area.
However, it is also true that it is fighting a monster, and in so doing, has become a monster itself.
Mort Zuckerman writes:
"The response has been rocket fire, terrorism ...not to mention an ongoing historic campaign to defame, denounce, denigrate, and delegitimize Israel in every international forum."
All I can say is that, unfortunately, Israel does seem to be providing a lot of the ammunition its enemies use for free.
When referring to Hamas, he says it is: "a terrorist organization dedicated to killing Jews".
I think Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to killing people.
Please don"t anybody say only "Jews" die because of Hamas" actions.
Many Palestinians die because Hamas often hides its members amongst the civilian population.
If, as Mr. Zuckerman says, "we are much closer to the establishment of two Palestinian states" than to reaching a two-state solution then we only have the Palestinians and Israel to blame.
It would be a great mistake if this were to happen. The ensuing desire to unite both Palestinian states henceforth is a tragedy waiting to happen.
I don't envy Israel's present situation, but I cannot abide by many of its actions. Unfortunately, they are often as brutal as the actions of those who wish to destroy Israel.
I had a Sociology teacher in Texas who always said "You don"t cover dirt with mud".
