Even the Israelis don't do enough. Maybe it's our governments fault but the the world must start doing what we should. ..

I don't know if I can really blame them any more. Look at history. Whenever Israel wins a war, world sentiment turns against her. Remember in 1973, when Israel was attacked, and they beat back the Egyptians and Syrians, capturing a huge number of Egyptian troops, and pressing into Egypt, across the Suez canal, and Israeli tanks were less than 50 miles from Damascus, Syria. It was only then that the UN stepped in to "stop the war." Israel didn't want to stop, but was pressured by the US, since the USSR threatened to get directly involved if Israel didn't stop.

Israel is afraid to use the sort of force needed to put an end to the nonsense that's going on there because of the way the rest of the world would react.

We are Israel's biggest supporter but we still condemn them or tell them to use "Cation" every time they get aggressive with their military maneuvers or kill a terrorist leader. I wish we would openly support them and encourage them to do more of that kind of stuff instead of trying to stop them.
