Most latest Gallup poll in March indicates that 36 % of Americans “approve of Israeli military activity in Gaza” and 50 % approve.
Last November, a fortnight after the Hamas terrorist assault in Israel that claimed the lives of more than 1, 200 honest Israeli citizens, 55 % approved of the military action that Israel initiated.
What has happened recently, where hardly more than a fourth of Americans now support the compelling case of Israel’s right to defend its nation? We might also be wondering why only 55 % of respondents to Israel’s military exercises in November.
Let’s take another moment to remember that Americans were fervently opposed to and retaliated against the horror of the terrorist assault on September 11, 2001, which claimed the lives of nearly 3, 000 American people.
The 1, 200 Jewish victims of evil, in that little state of some 9.5 million, equates to more than 40, 000 in our state of over 330 million.
Why is it not equally apparent that Israel and we must support our nation?
Per Brown University’s Costs of War project, complete casualties in Afghanistan, and consequently in Iraq,  , as a result of , U. S. hostile military activity in the battle against terror, amounted to 177, 000, some six times greater than casualties reported in Gaza.
We may also notice, afterwards, that we’re not really talking about murder, regarding the 1, 200 Israelis that were killed.
We’re talking about inhuman cruelty, documented in picture, in which assault, beheadings, and defilement of body occurred. Every crime and atrocity committed by Israel was celebrated with pleasure by the Hamas terrorists.
Hamas has long been recognized by the U. S. state as a terrorist business.
Why do n’t Americans join together to demand the release of the estimated 130 hostages held by the Hamas terrorists, including six Americans, and condemn the sickening murder and cruelty of the terrorists?
How may our nation abstain from calling for a cease-fire in Gaza in the new UN Security Council voting that neither Hamas nor Hamas would condemn terrorism and demand the release of its hostages?
What is the disconnect that may explain why there is n’t widespread support among Americans for decisive action by Israel to protect itself against terrible jihadists who have targeted the death of its position and country?
An impartial Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit corporation releases an annual report on the state of flexibility in various countries.
In its quarterly review, Freedom House ranks nations around the world based on their level of flexibility. Per Freedom House’s approach, each country is graded on a range of 1- 100, based on political rights and civil rights in that state.
In the Middle East area, there is only one state that Freedom House results as free—Israel.
Out of a conceivable 100, Israel results 74. For view, the United States has a rating of 83.
We can only see Israel as completely in the Middle East community where it is located in a sea of oppressed nations.
Freedom House values for Israel’s companions: Jordan 33, Egypt 18, Lebanon 42, Syria 1, Iraq 30, Saudi Arabia 8.
Why does it seem like no one is interested by the apparent lack of freedom in the Middle East when the only free nation in the region is the target of protests and condemnation?
Why, 76 years after Israel’s establishment, and its wonderful introduction as a modern growing nation—a world middle of innovation and technology, boasting 13 Nobel prize winners—do some still reject its right to exist?
Amid this craziness, let’s recall, again, that Israel is the only Jewish country in the world.
There are 49 countries with majority Muslim populations.
There are 15 million Jews in the world and 1.8 billion Muslims.
Yet, worldwide, there remains antipathy to this lone, tiny yet successful- way- beyond- its- size Jewish country
Something is wrong.
Very wrong.
