should america support Israel?

[A Theist]

Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the Palestinians. Although the Palestinians do embrace Hamas and give them sanctuary. The Palestinians also allow Hamas to headquarter and to fire missiles into Israel from their neighborhoods. Neither is Hamas fighting with kerosene powered fireworks. They're firing missiles into Israel, and Israel responds. If the Palestinians want to avoid their own casualties from Israeli air-raids, then they need to stop giving support to Hamas and throw them out.

You imply that Hamas are not right to attempt to attack Israel. What if a newly-strong Asia, headed by China, decided to establish a Mexican nation in the middle of the US? Isn't it true that one group's monstrous terrorists are its neighbors' freedom fighters?

Despite being invaded and scattered by the Romans, there has always been Jews still living in that region. In 1948 the UN recognized that area of Palestine as the ancestrial and ancient homeland of the Jews when they declared Israel a nation. Hamas are not freedom fighters. They're a terrorist group whose goal is the destruction of Israel. If the Palestinians want to avoid more casualties then they need to stop giving santuary to Hamas and not allow them to headquater and fire rockets into Israel from their neighborhoods.
