Re: Mumbai Rocked by Blasts
Thats because what is happening in Kashmir and Chechenya are legitimate freedom struggles, even though sometimes their actions have been extreme.
But 250,000 Chechens and 100,000 Kashmiris have been killed.
Where as in Palestine, only 4,000 Arabs have been killed and most muslims claim that this is a massacare greater than the Holocaust.
Where as Israel is ready to comprimise, withdraw from West Bank and Gaza Strip, return Golan back to Syria in exchange for peace. It returned the Sinai back to Egypt for peace.
And what does it get in return?
After it withdrew from Southern Lebanon, instead of the Lebanese Army protecting its borders, Hezbollah moves in and starts firing rockets at Israel, instead of Syria starting negotiations with Israel, it supports Terrorist organizations who attack Israel.
Israel has always wanted Peace. Its population is overwhelmingly liberal and ready to make comprimises but those comprimises have to adhered to.
What has Israel gained from withdrawing from Gaza and Souther Lebanon?
It gained peace with Egypt after it withdrew from Sinai.
If Hamas and Hezbollah stopped attacking Israel, perhaps Israel would be more open to further withdrawls from West Bank.
But when Israel is continually attacked, its enemies want to annhiliate Israel, Israel has no choice but to defend it self and make the enemy suffer so that they do not go on such undertakings in the future.
Neither India nor Russia is under a threat of annhiliation from Kashmiri and Chechen Fighters as Israel is.
Thats why I support Israel and thats why I will always support Israel.
