Americans who are against Israel need to see the truth.

Couldn't post this in chamber Israel since the mods there hate Americans. <br><br>I'm an American who loves Israel and I thought I'd post an informative post about Israel and why anybody who hates Israel is just an uneducated fool who is following the "cool" thing to do, especially nowadays since it seems like everyone is turning into an ahole now. <br><br>So, you're probably thinking, "why does everybody hate Israel so much" or "why do I hate Israel?" Well, let me tell you. I can't tell you why people hate Israel, but it's the same reason why they hate America, the Jews, the Christians, whites, and others who are just trying to live their lives and protect their countries. <br><br>You see, we all live in the same world, and the world is full of conflicts. It's a sad reality and has been like this forever, and if you don't like it then leave. But, nobody leaves because even though there's war, the world is a great place to live, and we all love our home countries and want to protect them and make sure they're safe and prosperous. <br><br>Israel is just like any other country. Israel wants to be safe and prosperous, and Israelis want to protect their country. <br><br>The problem Israel has is Palestinians. Now, I'm not going to go in detail about the conflict, or who's right or wrong. I'm just going to tell you the basic facts of the situation, and you can make your own decisions. <br><br>First of all, Israel is a democracy with a free market economy, has the most advanced technology, like drones, and self-driving cars, etc. Israel is also the number 1 country in the Middle East and is doing much better than countries like Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, the gulf states, etc. Israel is surrounded by Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. There are also 2 million Palestinians who are Israeli citizens and have the same rights as Israelis. They're free to live wherever they want, but most of them like to live in the cities of Israel with the highest percentages of Palestinians. Most Palestinians who are Israeli citizens travel to the West Bank and Gaza freely, and there's no problem with that. <br><br>There are 5 million Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens, living in the West Bank and Gaza, or outside of Israel. Most of them live outside of Israel and are refugees. Now, I'm not sure why they can't just go back to their own countries, but it seems like they're not allowed to go back the same way the Jewish refugees aren't allowed to go back to their countries of origin, and are still living in Israel. <br><br>There are 2.8 million Palestinians living in the West Bank, who are ruled by the Palestinian Authority. Years ago, Israel made peace with the PA, and the Palestinians who live in the West Bank have their own government and police. Israel has checkpoints between the West Bank and Israel, but all of the Palestinians can travel freely between Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. <br><br>There are 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza, who are ruled by Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization who wants to destroy Israel. They are the same as ISIS, Al Queda, and the Taliban. They're very violent. <br><br>The problem Israel has is that Hamas shoots thousands of rockets into Israel, killing Israeli citizens and burning down Israeli cities, towns, and villages. They also send suicide bombers into Israel to kill as many Israeli citizens as they can. Israel has to defend itself. Israel has built a wall to prevent terrorists from entering Israel, and they also have the ID system. <br><br>Israel and the Palestinians have tried to make peace for the last 75 years, but they can't come to an agreement. Israel has made many offers to the Palestinians, but the Palestinians don't want peace. They want Israel to disappear. <br><br>Israel has tried many different solutions to the conflict, like giving the Palestinians land, giving them autonomy, giving them money, etc. Israel is so generous with the Palestinians. Israel even gave them 6 whole cities, including Hebron and Jericho. But, that hasn't worked. Israel even gave them Gaza, and that didn't work. <br><br>Israel just wants to keep its citizens safe. Just like we do. They don't want terrorists to kill their citizens. It's so simple. <br><br>So, now you know the conflict. Israel is just like the US, but the Palestinians are like the cartels. Both the US and Israel just want to keep their citizens safe. Both the cartels and the Palestinians want to kill Americans and Israelis. <br><br>Now, who do you support? Do you support people who are just trying to live in their countries and want their citizens to be safe? Or do you support terrorists who want to kill Americans and Israelis?
