Before we keep posting more impulsive comments based on biased media, let's first use our very wonderful gift: Our logic.
(I'll present here both sides, reasoning, and how the logic should work in each case)
What could motivate people, to go into a war?
Today in Israel, the percentage of unemployed is low, compared to western countries, and especially in relation to the rest of the world.
Anyone can find a job, even if it's not in his profession.
Education in Israel is highly developed, some Israeli universities are at the top 100 list in the world. (Make no mistake - not only Arabs can study at these universities, they also automatically receive scholarships for being Arabs. You can also find Arab lecturers in these universities. Google it)
What does it actually mean for an Israeli to start a war?
It means that they lose money for losing business days.
It means that they lose quality time with their children.
It means that students(Jewish/Druze/Arabs who volunteer/Rest of the people) have to join the reserve forces, instead of studying at the university. It also means that univeristies in bomarded cities cancel studies at these times.
You probably ask yourself - if this is the situation, why do Israelis do want to start an operation in Gaza?
First of all, it's very likely that people ask this question. Why?
Because international media usually turns a blind eye when it comes to Israel's internal security situation.
You won't hear in the media, of the daily basis bombardments towards the southern Israeli cities that happens for years.
You'd usually hear about these bombardments, ONLY the moment Israel decides to respond. And Israel will ALWAYS be presented as the one who began the situation. An example of such headline:
"Israel has began a military operation in Gaza." - And you'll have to have extremely sharp eyes in order to find the fact that militants in Gaza first fired rockets before this operation, or the fact that they fired an Anti-Tank missile towards an Israeli military jeep that was patrolling at the Israeli border.
So by listening to the media, it's easy to be deceived into thinking, that Israel wants a war.
So what IS the reason Israel is beginning a military operation?
Simple as that - to stop the daily bombardments. To let the millions of civilians living under fire, to have the possibility to live life, and not under shelters. Or the hope the Iron Dome system will intercept the rockets that is looking for their heads. And let me ask something:
If these righteous people who protest against Israel, claiming the Israel attack innocents - why not one of them protest when rockets are fired into Israel? Is Jewish blood worth less than others? By the way, keep remembering that rockets fired into Israel risk not only the Jewish people, but also ARABS who live here (yesterday the rocket that landed near Jerusalem injured a Palestinian house - according to Palestinian reports).
Fact is simple, Israeli army is strong. And if Israel wanted Gaza destroyed, couple of Jericho missiles into Gaza and game is over.
Also, if Israel is so radical and extremist as Palestinians claim - extremist people do not care what the world think of them. Take Syria as an example.
Take the Arab spring as another example. That's how radical people work, they do not care what other people think of them.
But Israel DO care. That's why Israel do not bomb whole Gaza, that's why Israeli soldiers are being TOLD everyday, to take ANY MEASURES to keep lives of INNOCENT people in Gaza.
Another question that can be raised against Israel:
If Israel claims that terror organization are so dangerous, how come so few casualties at the Israeli side?
Well, Israel unlike terror organizations, spend money on DEFENSE SYSTEMS. Because Israeli Defense Forces purpose is to DEFEND Israel. Not to attack others.
Israel believe that defending civilians is ABOVE ALL. That's why Israel have Iron Dome System, that protects from rockets. That's why so many Israeli lives are saved.
On the other hand, terror organizations in Gaza, believe that fighting Israel is the main agenda.
Palestinian organizations claim that people in Gaza live in poverty, if so - why do they keep spending money on WEAPONS, ROCKETS, MISSILES?
What MAKES the most sense when people live in poverty? To buy weapons? (They claim it's their "last resort")
But, is it true? Last resort is to buy weapons and missiles? Is that how you save people from poverty?
If they abandoned terror, and INSTEAD, used their money they receive from Iran, Egypt and the rest of the Arab countries to build more schools, more universities, getting a decent job.
Maybe THEN, they'd have a chance to have better life. Never believe the claim that WEAPONS is their ONLY way for better lives.
***** We can see many people these days, using the word "PROPAGANDA". But how do we know what's a false propaganda?
When Turkey claim that the Israeli response to shellings is a CRIME and a TERROR attack ----- While they constantly keep killing Kurds ; WHILE at the same time, Turkish army is responding to Syria shellings towards the Turkish cities ! WITH ONE HUGE DIFFERENT, Israel has been waiting for YEARS until it decided to respond, Turkey did not wait a day. Oh well, maybe a day.
When Egypt claim that Gaza is PART of their HOMELAND, while at the same time, REFUSING to acknolwedge Gaza as part of Egypt - They do NOT want them to be part of EGYPT.
When Assad claim that Israel is a terrorist that kills Arabs, while at the SAME TIME, killing -TENS OF THOUSANDS-.
When Iran claim that Israel is a cancer, that is fighting against human rights. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, jailing WOMEN for walking without hijab. Or jailing people for protesting against their regime. Or for executing people who allegedly "help" their enemies. Or while CREATING an ATOMIC BOMBS for PEACE PURPOSES.
When Tunnis claim that Israel kill innocent people, after few weeks after killing the U.S. ambassador, or while thousands died at their country few months ago at the peaceful "Arab Spring".
When Russia claim that Israeli response is not PROPORTIONAL, after they invaded Georgia and killed many of them for no reason.
NO ONE has the right to criticize Israel, none of these "angels" has the right. Especially when all the countries I mentioned killed more people that Israel will do, in the next million years.
And please, when Arabs claim that Israel belong to them, PLEASE let's not forget the RATIO between Israel size and the size of the Arabian countries. I know it's hard to hear it but yes, not every piece of the Middle East belong to Arabs. Although they're now trying to conquer huge part of Europe, India, Australia and so on (by reproducing in millions)
