Israel

As a non-Jewish person, I support Israel because of its many admirable qualities. However Israel has to remember that it is fighting an extremely dangerous and organic force and not a conventional enemy. What happened on the flotilla is irrelevant because it has already whipped up extreme anger on the other side and it will only be a matter of time before some innocent Jew vacationing in some remote part of the world will pay with his or her life.

Remember how, not so long ago, another set of terrorists came on a boat to Mumbai to slaughter innocent Jews among other people?
I would however break ranks with fundamentalist Christians who support Israel for religious reasons. I could be wrong but I also get the feeling that ... supports Israel from a slightly religious perspective which I feel is not the right thing for the long run.
