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.

    "The Jew cries out as he strikes you" -Polish proverb

    Let's see... aerial bombardment of a blockaded area full of civilians who have no where to go. A ship delivering supplies is rammed ("By accident"). The UN is useless, thanks to the US veto and Israel's puppetry of the US.

    Look at this map:

    Getting the picture? Why is the US involved in this atrocity? Hitler was prescient in "Mein Kampf" when he predicted what a Zionist state would be like.

    Why is the US on the wrong side of yet another conflict?
