    Israel performs a vital service for the "industrially advanced states". It polices regional "threats of revolt that exist because the regimes find it difficult to offer solutions to their socio-economic ills." - Shlomo Gazit

    Joe Biden said pretty much the same on the Senate floor in 1986:

    A UN report forecasted Gaza to become uninhabitable by 2020. The Israeli siege has left "almost all of population destitute," the report says.

    Retired Israeli General Giora Eiland asserted that there are no civilians in Gaza. One blog post in the Times of Israel was titled "When Genocide is Permissible." Former Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked compared Palestinian children to "little snakes."

    I think we support Israel because they gave us the word of God and brought salvation into the world. There is nothing greater than that.

    Someone needs to tell the Palestinians “when you find yourself in a hole, quit digging”. They brought their fate on themselves.

    They can thank their Muslim neighbors for that. Israel would be stupid as hell to give up the Gaza Strip and Golan Heights.

    I support Israel because I am a Christian who respects Judaism, admires the Jews, and loves Israel.

    That would be my response. All others will be by those who critique the small booklet without actually reading it.

    I support Israel because they are a liberal democracy in a sea of human rights abusing autocratic dictatorships.

    I am no supporter of democracy. Even our own Constitution promises a "Republican Form of Government" (Article 4 Section 4) ... and wait for it... the objection to that is coming in (I predict within five posts)
    We are headed toward a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT - world dictatorship. Democracy will be its battle cry (or more specifically "Democratic Socialism.")

    Israel is the only civilised place in the middle east, it is ruined when the palestine people throw missiles at them.

    the Jewish state should acquire all of lebanon and surrounding areas so that Americans can visit their more often
