The U.N. is in the forefront of condemning the nation of Israel, and are almost the definition of anti-Semitic. Israel is constantly having to defend themselves with troops and missiles, and the have to defend their usage of such things in the following days. It is a never ending process. Hamas or Hezbollah shoots rockets, Israel defends, Israel is the bad guy.

Hopefully just by looking at the information provided below you will realize why Israel eventually attacks. It isn’t as if after one rocket they have troops on the ground. Israel has been very patient with their enemies.

Here are some statistics I was able to compile from various articles on Wikipedia.

April 2001 – First rockets fired from Gaza

I can’t blame Israel for getting involoved in operations in Gaza every few years.  The statistics shows that the number of attacks go down every time they crack down on them.

Lets pretend you are the President of the United States and Cuba decides to drop a missile into the Florida Keys. Ok, maybe it was a lowly populated island, so, that is ok. But what if the next day they drop in 10 or 20. Sure, they aren’t nuclear, but you get the picture. At some point, the U.S. would attack.

The attack would be extreme. We would not tolerate such actions for long. Now put yourself in Israel’s shoes. Why is Israel always condemned when they are defending themselves?
