If your neighbour threatened to kill you and wipe you off the face iof this earth, would you be happy to let him fill his house with weapons and explosives?
This is the unfortunate situation that Israel finds itself in.
For anybody from the USA where the right to bear arms is sacrosanct to criticise a countyry for protecting itself from overt threats, would seem to me to be hypocrisy of the highest order.
I'm sure that, like me, the majority of Israelis want peace with Palestine, but until Hamas and their allies in Iran and other Israel hating countries cease their attempts to obliterate Israel, what else can they do?
