Support Israel, not Hamas!

     Yesterday the world witnessed why this "Arab Spring" is the opposite of what the world really needs with the consequences coming to full light not only in Israel, but on the borders with Syria and Lebanon, as well as the streets of Cairo. Marking what is known as Nakba Day, May 15 being the establishment of the Jewish State of Israel in 1948, Palestinians and their sympathizers took to the streets as they do every year, but this year was different with increased violence and the breaching of Israel's borders. BBC Israeli Forces Open Fire at Palestinian Protesters
      Emboldened by the uprisings around them Palestinians and Palestinain sympathizers came out in droves, including in Cairo where they tried to storm the Israeli embassy. A few weeks about Egypt's new government opened the Rafa border crossing into Gaza where "aid" can go through and reach the "Palestinian people"(most aid goes straight to Hamas to create rockets to fire into Israel). Israel, in my own view that is shared with millions of others, did what is should have done by firing tear gas and, at points when the protesters turned to throwing rocks and trying to breach checkpoints and borders, fired rubber bullets to protect property, Israeli lives, and to restore peace.
     No matter how much individuals debate about the Israeli-Palestinian conundrum, it seems that the sides are just as divided as they have always been. However it is different nowadays. Today in the era of the "Arab Spring" extremists are seen as patriots, fundamentalists seen as freedom fighters, and jihadists seen as heroes. How is it that people can and do support Hamas? It is because they are fighting for the right to exist against the illegal Israeli occupation of their homelands! they cry. Fighting against an internationally recognized state, with borders that are internationally recognized, that was created not out of another country but out of nothing? Fighting for the right to exist, though they do exist as an autonomic government? Fighting the Zionist invaders by killing innocent civilians, by firing rockets that have killed scores of Israeli civilians including children? When these people cite how glorious the cause of the Palestinians are they always support Hamas, but blame Israel for being an agressive occupier of foreign land. Do the people who support the Palesitinian/Hamas also support "wiping the State of Israel off the map, and the killing of the Zionist invaders" as Hamas believes? It sometimes seems so...
     Sensible people know who is in the right and who is in the wrong. We are fed lied and deciet by the western liberal media who has sympathies with the Palestinian cause while ignoring the pain and suffering and the daily struggle of survival by the Israeli people. Take the example that I recently learned about: the border city of Sderot where Grad and Katyusha fall daily causing injuries, property damage, and mental trauma especially to the hundreds of school children. Sensible people know that the people who are blowing up innocent civilians in the name of Allah should never be supported, and those who support such people also should be shunned. We should support those who try to protect themselves from enemies that surround them. We see what Hamas really is, and it is our duty to enlighten others. If nothing is done then more and more individuals will buy into the lies of "Israeli occupation","illegitimate state-hood", and support Hamas and other hardline Palestinians trying to destroy Israel. When a spokesman from Sderot Media Center came and spoke at James Madison College at MSU I found even more proof why Israel, not Hamas, should be supported. I invite you to look at this site and see that this conflict if far from one-sided, and that the true perpetrators of heinous crimes against humanity aren't the Israeli's trying to defend themselves as any other nation or people would do, but it is the terrorists of Hamas and other Palestinian groups that are the perpetrators.
