Why Israelis support the Gaza offensive

Israel's post-traumatic war is not just about stopping Hamas rockets, but about repairing reputations -- and erasing the stain of failure.

    bully's psychology

    What is it that a bully does when hit in the face? Find the weakest kid in the school yard to pound into submission. As this seems to be the sentiment being expressed in Israel, I can only assume, combined with my personal experiences with zionists (christian and jewish alike) that Israel is a nation of bullies, willing to kick to the ground anyone who attempts to act as any sovereign nation would.

    As to the notion that "even the left supports the invasion", well that just goes to show the contradictions of calling ones self a leftist, and a zionist at the same time.
