This is why Israel is awesome

they've behaved far better than the western countries would have in their situation. britain's response when hitler bombed london? thats right, burning hundreds of thousands of civilians to death in massive bombing raids. americas response to japanese blowing up a couple military ships? 2 nukes on populated cities and fire bombing tokyo that killed even more.

so really...the high horse bs is unecessary.

Yes, because having to live in fear of your neighbors is "awesome" :roll:

I'm sure most Israeli's would rather have it such that they didn't need to worry about military action with their neighbors.</blockquote>

you guys dont realize that the news reeaallly exaturates on how the condition is in israel. It is just like any other place. In the time I have been here not once have I gotten even a thought about terrorism. there are always soldiers walking around with a m16 on every street. no arab would try to do anything the ones that do get lucky. the IDF (israel defence forces) soldiers get punished if their gun isnt on their shoulder so they alsways leave it on. I thought I was scared before I got here but when i walked through the airport door, i realized I was going to be fine. trust me on this one ISRAEL IS SAFE. unless u have visited here and got caught in a suicide bomb, you cant say its not safe. everywhere you go there is security you cant enter a mall unless you get inspected. besides 99% of muslims that live in Israel are peaceful and the neighborhoods are usually never mixed its almost always a single religion in a neighborhood.</blockquote>

and how often do you see the US military walking around your town? i don't unless its maybe a parade.

there's a reason they are walking around with m16s, isn't there?</blockquote>

ofcourse there is a reason if they didnt do that there would be a suicide bomb every day because the crazy shmucks like to kill everyone.


P.S.- I agree with a person that told me this certain story. Terrorist are the worst kind of people in the world that i completly disrespect. because i have a story, a bus full of elementary kids like in 1st and 2nd grade was going along the lebanease border and there was a military escort infront and behind it but the terrorist shot an anti tank missle at the bus and killed all the kids. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL kids. a second part of the story is the the person respects the enemy soldiers from the other countries because they both have the same orders from their government kill the enemy unlike the terrorist.

P.P.S.- if anyone thinks the IDF is ruthless people you really have to be dumb because i was talking to a guard and she told me that they are trained NEVER to kill. she once shot someone because he was going crazy but it was a gut shot she had a clear shot at his head neck or anywhere else. he ended up dieing from the wound on the way to the hospital AND the guard was the one who called the ambulance. she also explained to me that they never shoot to kill but to neutralize the target because if they enemy is endangering civilians if you neutralize the target bring them to the hospital heal them and put them in jail now what can the do. unlike the arabs they care about their enemies.
