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.

    That is exactly the point, the equivalent choice shouldn't be imposed on anyone. I agree with you that Israeli jews would be crazy to allow themsleves to be ruled by arabs.

    And given the way they have been treated by the Zionists Palestinians would be crazy to submit to rule by those Zionists.

    I grew up in an Apartheid society and I have pretty good eye for what such societies look like, Israel looks that way to me.

    Let's not forget that Israelis elected a terrorist as their Prime Minister, I think that pretty well shows how they really feel about terrorism as long as they are the one benefiting from it.
