" However, seeing the absolute barbaric actions of terrorists in Israel's neighbouring countries, I now fully understand why Israel goes to the lengths it does to protect it borders and citizens."
But hang on, pg, they actually support those nasties in neighbouring countries. israel treats wounded rebels from Syria, which includes Isis, the head-lopping cannibals. They are mates.

Speaking from Istanbul, Mohammed Badie told Israel Radio that he and other Syrian rebel leaders were deeply thankful for the goodwill fellow Syrians had experienced at the hands of Israel as they continue to struggle against the regime of Bashar Assad.
Badie said that Netanyahu's public visit to the Israeli army field hospital that processes wounded Syrians crossing the border had sent an "important message" both to average Syrians and the Assad regime." http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24453/Default.aspx
That hardly makes right all those kiddies deaths in Gaza?
And I had read that the Crown prince of Saudi is appealing to France to help halt Israel's designs on the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the 3rd holiest mosque in Islam. Obviously israel has intents there.....turn it into a Supermarket or something? Not a good idea......
And there have been reports that even Christians are being denied access to their holy places in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ.
"
The statement, signed “Palestinian Christian Organizations in Occupied East Jerusalem,” complained that Christians are often denied access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre during the Easter holidays.
Each Easter, checkpoints are erected “at the Gates and in the alley, thus preventing the worshipers from free access to the Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the vicinity of the Christian Quarter.”
Israel’s restrictions on Palestinian Christians are a part of larger strategy of Judaization in Jerusalem, the statement said.
“The restrictive measures constitute grave violation on the freedom of worship, and amount to discrimination against Christians because the occupation authorities want to negate Christian presence and create the impression of a Jewish-only city.”"

They are restricting access to the birthplace of Christianity......probably not a good idea.
I really think they should respect the rights of others to a life and a religion.......seriously.
