I fully supported their right to self defense but it hasn't been that for quite some time. What started as jusified has turned into a whole sale slaughter & genocide of the Palestinians & now the Lebonese. As I said in another thread, the Israeli government has become what it used to hate. Both our countries are run by out of control madmen who are using their respective presidencies to fleece their countries and stay out of prison where they belong.
