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.

    Fucking A

    I don't believe anything your side says about it anymore.

    I don't believe anything the news media says about it anymore.

    I don't believe anything the government says about it anymore.

    I don't believe anything the entertainment business says about it anymore.

    I don't believe that Israel has a right to exist anymore - not if they cannot live in peace with their neighbors and kinsman and not if they must subvert my government, my media and my entertainments to convince my countrymen to believe them and give them money and moral support for these war crimes and outrages.

    I don't believe that Zionists deserve a state anymore than Nazis do.

    I used to be on your side but you have convinced me that I was wrong.

    Time to give it back to the Palestinians and let everyone else go back to where they came from or you can come to America.

    Israel is a failure and a horrible one at that.

    --something stinks

    That should be taped to the door of every media outlet in America.

    I am so sick of this fucking propaganda. I am so sick of Israeli apologists. I am so sick of Israel sucking my tax dollars when our economy is crashing. I am so sick of Israel's sob stories.

    Israel is NOT A FRIEND of the United States. They are a parasite, and they are putting Americans in harms way.

    End all support for Israel now. Call your Congressmen, call your papers, call your local televisions stations.

    The IDF is not tough, they are cowards. They are shameful, immoral cowards. And thousands of Israeli citizens agree with this assessment. It is not tough to shoot women and children, to bomb houses in ghettos, to invade a starving, impoverished population - unless you are a pussy.
