Obviously "opinions are divided"....they always are, no matter the topic.

Yes, I am defending Israel's right to defend herself against the illegal aggression by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbullah and the Yemen Houthis....as any normal person would.

Do you - and your "2 Jewish friends" - believe that Israel should not defend herself?

Do you know that since 8th October 2023, Hezbullah has fired more than 20,000 (!!!) rockets, explosive drones and mortars into Israel, causing a huge amount of damage to property and agricultural land, injuries and deaths, and causing more than 80,000 Israelis to leave their northern Israel homes, villages and towns and find alternative accommodation elsewhere in the country.

Do you know that the Yemen Houthis have launched more than 100 rockets and explosive drones into Israel, and have attacked Israeli (and other international) shipping....and that Israel has retaliated only once? How many attacks should Israel accept before responding in kind?

But, perhaps you and your Jewish friend in Israel are right.....maybe "prejudicial behaviour towards jews in the Western world" would subside if only Israel rolled out the welcome mat and allowed itself to be continually attacked by its neighbours. Is that what you believe?
