Um.. That is a hard question to answer. I stand with my legs mostly but I think I stood with an Israeli more than once.

OK I'll open the ball on this one. F**K Israel. Rebuttle, anyone? In all seriousness though, I find it very hard to stand with a state like Israel. I want to support them, but they're just always so god-damned brutal, and they seem to refuse to acknowledge that the violence befalling them isn't entirely undeserved given their past behaviour. They seemt to compound and compound their problems by attacking attacking attacking, tanks, bombs, airstrikes...and every time they say they are within their rights because of a recent Hamas attack. They need to work on their understanding of the issues, and stop being blinded with their hatred based on more recent activities.

I stand with the humane not saying Israel as a whole is not humane just that I'm not gonna support atrocities committed by people in any country

All the people I know who say they "stand with Israel" have no idea what's going on. They basically just mean they support it, right or wrong.

Omg can't believe the post score is in the positives. Most of you probably support it blindly when you don't even know what goes on in the Middle East, or only know what your biast media shows you. I most definitely don't support a country that isn't even supposed to exist.

Yeah, why would a support a state that has broken the international law over 65 times? Or who continues to claim to want peace but wouldn't even agree to the 72 hour ceasefire, which is broke in under 24 hours. Or who insists on Palestine that it needs to show that Israel has a right to exist but voted no on Palestine becoming a non-member state. Or how about a state that denies Palestinians a right of return (which is illegal) and continues to build settlements on Palestinian land (which is illegal). How can ANYONE support that?

I know you are too much of a coward to say that to my face so you have to hide behind an anonymous identity.

Wow this whole post makes me pissed. Just the fact that the total votes is in the negatives is so upsetting because most people probably have no idea what is going on in Israel. It is the size of New Jersey and almost all of the Middle East is ready to destroy the state in its entirety. How can Israel not use violence to defend itself when everyone around it is against its right to even exist. If they simply allowed themselves to be attacked, there would be no more Israel to even discuss. What is the reasoning behind Palestine's idea that Israel should not have a right to exist?

Interior Minister Eli Yishai on Israel's operation in Gaza: "The goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages. Only then will Israel be calm for forty years." Ariel Sharon said, "We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza. The Americans didn’t stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren’t surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too." And lets not forget who voted who to not become a non-member state? Not to mention attacking Gaza is attacking a population of over 50% children, which is not defense unless you believe in the murder of children. Also if it wants to co-exist why would they break the ceasefire between them and the Palestinians, that seems awfully counterproductive to me.

What Israel did was not justified, but the surrounding Arab countries have committed just as many foul acts against them.
