It's pretty disgusting how many people are minimizing murder, torture, rape, and kidnapping.

91. Israel kept their people at war since 1967??

What do you think Israel should have done so that its people weren't "in a state of perpetual war"?

Some facts: Between 1948 and 1967, there were dozens of state-sponsored terror attacks against Israelis. Should Israel have surrendered to prevent the 1967 War? And when the 1967 War happened, should Israel have surrendered and ceased to exist in order to prevent their people from being kept at war?

And after the 1967 War, those state sponsored attacks on Israel continued leading up to the 1973 Yom Kippur War, launched against Israel by Egypt and Syria among others. Should Israel have surrendered so as to prevent their people from being kept at war?

And in 2005, Israel removed its Defense Force installations from Gaza and evicted over 9000 Israelis from settlements in Gaza. Two years later, Hamas took over the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian Authority. Consistent with their stated desire to destroy Israel, Hamas began launching rockets and engaging in other terror attacks on Israeli civilians. Israel responded not by invading and re-taking control of Gaza, but by a defensive maneuver -- blockading Gaza. Did Gazans respond by trying to evict Hamas? Did Hamas respond by moderating its behavior? No. But somehow, it is Israel's fault that it has been attacked by others for the entirety of its 75 year history.
