Why is it nobody gets where Israel is coming from?

In the 1930's there were lots of warnings from various people emerging from Germany about what the Nazis were doing, it was an attestation about what Hitler himself had mentioned in his 'Mein Kampf', the world ignored the Jews speaking out, so the Jews could see the world had no regard for them, so they learned an important lesson, which now figures in the political/moral policy from the State of Israel.

Israel doesn't subvert it's policy to the pressure exerted on it by world governments because where were those governments when six million Jews, including the best majority being the aged, women and children, were being murdered by Hitler's factories of death? Israel will pursue it's policy, which right now is to get their people being held hostage back and to erode Hamas' ability to attack the people of and state of Israel in terrorist warfare/murder-sprees.

You can understand Israel very easily with these factors in mind.

Look at what the US did to Afghanistan and then Iraq in the aftermath of 9/11. Imagine what we'd have done if, instead of blowing people up, a group of Arabs had, the terrorists had raped, beheaded, and taken hostages, too. "Shock and Awe" as it was would have looked like nothing. The Israeli government is wrong in many of its policies as far as I'm concerned, BUT I cannot be surprised at their reaction to the massacre, rapine, and kidnapping by HAMAS.
