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.

    @Xanthro

    Xantrho: "As usual, the Jew Hater just can't contain himself, and starts channeling Julius Streicher."

    What's this "Jew Hater" nonsense? The idea that somebdoy can't disagree with Israel's actions without "hating Jews" is absurd. Mostly, though, it's childish, and it lowers the level of the discourse.

    You can't see what is in another person's heart. You can only see their statements, arguments, facts, reasons.

    Clearly you have a stake in this that short circuts your rationality and takes you to an emotional level. Can you admit this much?
