I agree that it is crazy how much the US supports Israel, but it is also crazy how Israel is attacked, (They have also had drones and rockets shot at them every day since October 8th). Living like that is horrible. I don't necessarily think they have done everything right, but I get upset at how the Muslims get a pass for all of their crimes and Israel is attacked as the world's worst terrorist for responding and defending their people against those who desire to wipe them off the map.
If people were fair in their criticism of both sides, I'd keep silent, because I don't think Israel is perfect. I also think it is insane that after a terrorist attack on Israeli citizens, that they are told to compromise and give up territory. Every nation throughout history (with the exception of Israel) has absolutely refused to negotiate with terrorists. Giving up territory would just encourage more terrorist attacks. Israel has given up territory multiple time in the past and every time (except maybe giving the Sinai back to Egypt), that territory was used to attack them. When they have taken territory (except when the world's nations gifted them territory by treaty after WWII), it has been taking territory from those who attacked them first and taking it to prevent being destroyed.
There are people in Israel who have done horrible things, but I guess I feel some compassion because they live with their lives in the balance, surrounded by nations that want to destroy them and constantly under terrorist attacks, suicide bomber attacks, drone attacks, and rocket attacks. Living in that situation can cause those that don't have the peace of God to become hard hearted and to begin to use the tactics of their enemies against them. It isn't right, but it is understandable.
I catch myself defending Israel, even though I don't agree with everything they do, because the international complaints are often untrue and almost always unfair (when compared to the response to others, especially their opponents). Just as I end up defending Trump, even though he does a lot of things I disagree with, or as I defended Kavanaugh, even though I didn't want him on the Supreme Court, I end up defending Israel because the attacks are unbalanced and misleading.
