Why is it always Israel's fault?

Israel has won five self-defensive wars with the Arabs. When other countries win wars, even wars of aggression, they keep the land won in battle. Israel is pressured to give back the land, and they have, except for enough to create safer borders. Giving back that little bit of buffer land now is suicide.

Israel is called inhumane for accidentally killing some civilians in the process of self defense. Why is there no outcry when the Palestinian terrorists strap a bomb to a woman or a child and send them to Israel to target civilians?

Israel is engaged in a desperate effort to prevent more killing — seizing weapons and destroying the infrastructure that supports the murders of its citizens, just as the U.S. and other countries are doing.

The facts: In 1948, the U.N. voted to divide western Palestine into Jewish and Arab areas. The Arabs immediately attacked Israel, after warning the 500,000 Arabs living in Israel to leave. The Arabs lost the war and refused to assimilate the "refugees." They renamed them the "Palestinians."

There are 22 Arab countries that could have absorbed the "Palestinians." But the Arabs have trapped them, for over half a century, in miserable camps, trained them to hate Israel, and used them as a bargaining chip in their plan to exterminate Israel, even though the problem had been created by Arabs refusing to accept the U.N. partition and attacking Israel.
