The reasons for Israel's popularity

I am Indian. Any right thinking person who sides with civilization and decency has to side with the Israelis. What's not to like about Israel?

They value education, they tolerate people of all faiths, they do not attack other countries except in self-defense, they are a multi-cultural oasis in the middle-east, one could go on and on. Israel is this way despite the fact that they have been in a constant struggle for mere existence and despite what so many Jews have had to endure in Europe during WWII.

Supporting Israel is about justice first and foremost.
