There are quite a few things about Israel that I'm not fond of especially their long history of playing the U.S. off of the Soviet Union for their own purposes, but since I've never had to live in a neighborhood like that I'm not qualified to judge them.
Plus, since I know that right now America's and democracy's adversaries are on the side of Hamas, I'm on team Israel since there are big, globally big, issues at stake now.
