Israel went into Lebanon last year because they were being bombarded with rocket attacks on a daily basis. It was hardly for "No reason."

Israel is the only true democracy in the region. That's a good reason to support them.

The "Palestinian" leadership, Arafat and others are the ones who have over the years taken a lion's share of the aid for themselves at the expense of their people.

I get the whole one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Believe me I do, more than you'll ever know. However, I don't see how blowing up buses full of school children or wedding receptions advances their cause. When Israel hits civilian targets, it is truly collateral damage. These animals target civilians.

I don't think there is some super strong Israel lobby in the US more powerful than the drug companies.

The whole "Palestinian" movement was not born out of some movement of Palstinian people, but out of anti-semitism.

When they carved Palestine into Israel and Jordan, Jordan got the lion's share of the land. Jordan and the other arab nations refused to accept any arab refugees into their country. Israel welcomed all Jewish refugees from around the world.

I don't know why the arabs hate the jews so much or resent their existence. If they could all agree to respect each other's borders, things would be a lot more peaceful. Look at Israel and Egypt, very peaceful since 1979.

Those are just a few of my thoughts.
