I am NOT defending random tossing of missiles into Israel by these

looking at the entire picture.

Part of the entire picture is that Israel has created a secular,
democratic, free society that is very attractive to many if only because
it is so rare in that area. Israel, while not perfect, is a shining
beacon of morality and opportunity and that is the biggest reason
radical Islam wants it destroyed. It is also the biggest reason it is
our duty to help defend it.


But you see, Stephen, that's not accurate aside from the Israeli press
releases. South Africa created a secular, democratic, free society too -
for whites. Israel has done the same -- for Jews.

Also it is NOT secular. Don't believe me? Well, try for a pork rib
dinner in Tel Aviv and then report back your findings. It's anything but
a secular state. Jews today just aren't nearly as offensive culturally
as many find Arabs, that's all but the secularism just is not there.
