Do you understand the Israeli need to fight back?[/QUOTE]In Scotland it's in our nature to favour the underdog, due to being next to our bigger, more populous neighbour and the Palestinians are definitely the underdogs.
I would say Israel brings it's problems on itself by building illegal settlements against international law in Palestinian areas & not allowing a Palestinian state amongst others, so no, I don't have much sympathy or understanding for Israel.
You could say Israel is "invading" Palestinian areas, why no US sanctions or military action to stop it?.
Had to put this in but I guess we've already covered this in earlier posts in this thread. Because Israel is an ally of the US and so can do what the hell it likes.
