"Israel - the Jewish State - is fighting a defensive war and its very existence is under threat, and many Jews believe it's their responsibility and obligation to help protect Israel and their fellow Jews, many of whom are probably relatives."
Very defensive... so defensive in fact that they've only dropped more bombs on Gaza, in tonnage, than was dropped on London, Dresden and Hamburg combined some 80 years ago.
What do you suppose will happen if Israel ever goes on the offensive?
