Israel is well within its rights to defend itself
In her letter regarding America favoring Israel (Dec. 31), K.K. Mersereau forgot to mention the 70 rockets a day the Palestinians have fired on Israel since they moved into the land given to them. (I think the Israelis have shown remarkable restraint until now.)
Israel, as well as anyone else, has the right to defend itself. Isaac was Abraham’s son as well as Ishmael. So they have the right to such a small piece of Mideast property as Israel, which shares the country with many Arabs. What Arab country allows Jews to live there?
Golda Meir said there would be peace in the Middle East when Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews. It’s so sad — they could really be a positive force in the world if they could peacefully co-exist.

Good luck.

A people who willingly strap bombs on their children to kill themselves and others is severely sick.
The sickness has spread to the US.

If you have time today read Bible Ezekiel 9 thru 30. I do not know what to know except I believe suicide bombers are evil and ancient history has many wounds. I support the sovereign State of Israel to exist unemcumbered by Kasam rockets and suiciders.Christine

Dear Carol, when did Israel give the land to the Palastinians? Gaza, along with 98% of what Israel occupies was originally the Palastinians. If you go to your Bible, you will see GOD told the Jews to take the land by force some 500 years BC. So you see, the Palastinians were there FIRST!
Why was it when Prime Minister Rabine was going to make peace treaties with the Palastinians, His own people killed him so there would not be peace! HUMMMMMMMMMM
