Do you support Israel?

I know this is a heated topic for many. I have just been watching some history videos about the creation of Israel and the current issues.

Was Palestine ever a real Arab Nation? Is an 'Arab' Nation not intrinsically racist?

I could never support Israel. I'm sorry but what they're doing is disgusting. The wall they built, cutting basic survival aids for Palestinians like water, and health care. Not to mention the on-going missiles. People can scream "they're fighting hamas" all they want but the statistics of deaths speaks for itself. A war is when both sides are fighting. This isn't a war, its a genocide. The israeli prime minister is fueled on hate, using terms like "ethnic cleansing" to justify the number of deaths, even attempting to blame the holocaust on palestinians.
There was close to 63 deaths in israel, most of which that were soldiers as opposed to over two thousand in palestine most of which who were children.
Just do your research, of both sides and make your own decision. I'm not here to tell you what to believe but i sure as hell aren't here to play silent simon and not express my disgust in the israeli government.
I have been doing my research. So far I have not seen what you say. The only people talking about Ethnic cleansing are Hamas members. Basic survival aids that Israel had been providing?

@MarsSword: the survival aids that belongs to them, that was already theres, that had been blocked. I see you haven't drawn attention to other points i made. Anyone who has been alive the past 30 years can see the outcome of the violence and death israel has imposed on palestine but i'll just leave it at this note because I don't wanna give half-hearted responses due to time restriction since this is a topic that I'm passionate about.
@HijabbaDabbaDoo: In response to your other points, they are blatantly untrue. It is a war fought by both sides. Israel attacks are usually in response to rockets fired at Israeli civilians.

I have not heard any mention by anyone of any Israeli leaders condoning or calling for ethnic cleansing. I have not heard of any blaming for the holocaust.

The disparity in deaths between Israel and the surrounding area is mostly do to the tactics of those involved. I don't know exact numbers, but I do know that hamas attacks are often launched from densely populated civilian areas. Israel's primary concern is the safety of its own citizens and thus it will defend itself from such attacks while trying to limit civilian casualties. The only reason that Israel doesn't have many more civilian casualties is because of their technologically advanced defensive countermeasures that stop potential rocket and bomb threats.

I look forward to discussing more when time allows.
@HijabbaDabbaDoo:
The reason you hear of so few deaths of Israelites, this is due to the fact, of leadership. Israel is a smaller Nation.
They have to fight from all sides. Have you not heard of the Iron Doom. This is the difference between a country that honors and respects there civilians and soldiers. It's also more difficult to fight an Army that adds solders everyday of different Nationality everyday, their range is endless. Try better next time!

Darn!?

@FitAndTrimYetThick: israel isn't a smaller nation at all. They've illegally colonised land that belongs to palestine. Ima leave it to this because clearly the huge difference in death poll and the UN laws broken by Israel in more than one occasion isn't enough to support my points.

@silmarilion456:
One day they are going to lose.
@HijabbaDabbaDoo:
Maybe if you referenced​ a reliable source?
@HijabbaDabbaDoo:
Illegally obtained: hmm? Very interesting, you know who tries take or steel, the original possessors protect or defend, the individuals that are trying to attack are the illegal terrorists​.

In this lesson, the innocent is Israel, the evil is Palestine​.
@HijabbaDabbaDoo: Israel actually is legally occupying land that was formerly part of Jordan and part of Egypt. They gave most of it back after legal seizing it in a war that they didn't start. There isn't and has not been a Palestinian nation for the land to be stolen from. There has been many attempts to create a Palestinian state. Each time, however, the leaders of the free palestine movement have rejected the offered land and independence and retaliated with increased terrorist attacks on Israel. Thus for Israel's own security they have seized some regions of land possessed by anarchy to try to bring some form of stability and safety.

Israel is not violating UN conventions to the best of my knowledge.
