It's been a very long time since I first began to feel this way and it started with my sense of fair play and one rule for all. I've never understood how Israel could accuse others of terrorism when those they accused were doing the same damn thing Israel does. I don't pretend to know & understand foreign policy, I find it all very confusing.
It isn't a complicated as most would have you believe.
The Arabs who occupied the area, known as Palestine, demand return of "their" land that was controlled . . . then ceded to establish a Jewish state, by the British. This happened over 100 years ago (with the blessing of The League of Nations).
Israel is an American ally.
Israel is a democracy.
Israel has sovereign borders.
Israel is under attack by hostile forces to destroy their government, people, culture . . . and grab territory.
The US, therefore, is obligated to help Israel defend herself . . . to preserve and promote democracy.
Sorry . . . I meant to type Ukraine . . . not Israel . . . in the above single sentences.
