More and more people of conscience, including many Jews, all over the world are with me. While US politicians are still scared shitless of the Israel Lobby, and many Americans are confused by the pro-Israel media, more and more American are starting to see Israel for the apartheid murderous state it is.
Desmund Tutu who talked at length about Israel's apartheid is one of them. The reservists who refused to serve so as not to take part in war crimes is another. Jews who refuse to be bystanders while the killing goes on in Gaza are among them too (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jan/13/letters-israel-rally-gaza).
You're on the wrong side of history. Like fascism and apartheid, Zionism - at least the brand of extreme violence you advocate - is destined for the dustbin of history.
Everybody is allowed to defend themselves. What we are not allowed to do is murder and injure thousands of civilians, including children, while claiming self-defense. I guess you don't get this because these people are not Jews which makes them non-persons to you.
