   The only problem is that the people that the fundamentalist Islamist kill are not the “Islam haters” and the ones that the “Islam haters” attack are not the fundamentalists. If we could get them fighting each other only it may fix something.

   @Night-Gaunt49

   Does Israel say that Iran is a cancer and must be removed? Israel would never say that, or act to try and make it happen. Iran constantly says these things. You don’t know that they are not building a nuke, just like I don’t know they are. Facts are simple, they are enriching uranium and call for the destruction of another nation. How long do we wait?

   Also “Palestine” was not a country before the split was proposed. The land that Israel was given was technically British controlled. Also the land that Israel annexed (after a war, which was common practice at the time) was from Jordan, Egypt and Syria. NONE of it from a place called “Palestine”. Most of Gaza and the West Bank were Judea and Samaria, and was not intended by the league of nations or the UN to be part of the Palestine that was too be created..

   Israel is working towards a two state solution, unlike say Hamas who wants to be “From the river to the sea”.

   @Jase99 Israel sends out letters, makes phone calls and warns people that they are in areas that will be bombed before bombing. Colonel Kemp (former Commander of British Forces in Afghanistan) even went as far as to write a whole document (Hamas, the Gaza War and Accountability under International Law) to explain how humane the IAF actually is.

   I’m not trying to say that Israel is perfect, no country is. Just pointing out some things I think need to be taken into account\

   1) The term anti-Semite comes from Hitlet’s final plan, and only refereed to Jews, not all Semites.

   2) More people died so far in the Syrian uprising so far than Israel has killed in the last I don’t even know how many years!

   3) Groups like Hezbollah and Hamas kill more people (mostly Muslim Arabs) than Israel.

   4) What would you want your government to do if your neighboring country was attacking rocketing you?

   5) Tell me how Israel is “exporting violence” after reading this:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_violent_incidents_in_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict,_2011

   Or even the wiki (or any source) on the number of rocket attacks over the last year.

   Got to love countries that sell arms to both sides of almost all wars.

   In Israel Hamas fires rockets at Israel. Are Assad’s citizens firing rockets at him and other innocent citizens?

   @Night-Gaunt49 Non-Jews are welcome in Israel and are 1st class citizens. Jews (even ant-Israel ones) are not allowed in Palestine. In Israel there are Muslims and Christians in parliament and the military (granted the military is the one place that citizens are not equal and I wish that would change). Hamas calls for killing Jews, not Israelis (not that that would be acceptable, but it would be better). In Israel they don’t call to kill Muslims (or anyone). So how do you come to saying “… only Jews in Israel. All others stay out”? Get your facts strait before you talk or you end up looking stupid.

   @michaelwme lol Israel never denies or confirms anything because that way you never know if they do or don’t do things. Also the world won’t believe them if they say no anyways.

   @dtroutma no one knows for sure if Israel has them. They probably do, but the biggest difference is they won’t use them to eliminate their enemies because unlike those who will die and get virgins for killing people, Israel does not live like that, they would rather that their enemy lives and they live.
