should america support Israel?

[A Theist]

If I think that a state is on a downward spiral of their own making and don't feel sympathy for them it makes me anti-them? Really? That's your conclusion?

In that case, how about North Korea? Their isolationism has caused their people nothing but grief, but they have chosen to remain that way. If I don't feel bad about it because they choose not to help themselves, so does that make me a bigoted, anti-Korean as well?

Your responses, and others here too, have shown nothing to the contrary. Most of the replies are largely, and as usual, a condemnation of Israel, contempt, and total shock at "how dare Israel defend itself against rocket fire from the poor little muslim terrorists who are dedicated to killing as many Israelis as they can." Israel has every right to defend itself against attacks. Those islamic Palestinian pieces of shit were dancing and celebrating in the streets when the Twin Towers were attacked and knocked down on 9-11. I don't feel sorry for them at all. They openly embrace Hamas' directive to destroy Israel, and they even volunteer to be human shields for Hamas against Israel's response to being attacked by them. Stop firing rockets into Israel, stop the terrorist attacks against Israel, and Israel will stop its bombing raids against Hamas targets there.
