Just like every other country on the planet, they are both. The Israelis do some very wonderful and humanitarian things and they also do some very inhumane things. No country can be evaluated in such "yes or no" terms.

Israel and the USA are buddies because they back each other up. The USA has some support from moderate Islamic countries in the Middle East. \nI think its a damn shame that Israel and the US can do what ever it likes to defend itself. There are international laws and the military "rules of engagment" that Israel and the US like to ignore a lot (like the terrorist). \n\nIf Israel and the US kill innocent people to kill or capture terrorist then these countries are NO BETTER than the terrorist who attack and kill innocents to attack US and Israel interests in the Middle East. \n\nI do not support the horrible methods that terrorist use but I see NO difference between what the US, Israel and terrorist. \n\nExample:\n\nIf a terrorist blows himself up and half a city block to take out a US Embassy or an Israel market place and he kills and wounds several civilians then he is evil.\n\nIf a US or Israel destroyed a car with a missle (whatever) that a terrorist was driving and this action results in the death and injury or innocent cilivians nearby then it is also an evil act. There is no difference what-so-ever between thier tactics of attack/defense.\n\nWe and Israel need to obey the rule of international law even when fighting terrorists otherwise we are like the terrorists we fear and hate.

It has been long thought (decades) by many members of radical Islam that the state of Israel must not exist.  Old habits die hard, hate breeds more hate.

Yes, There is absolutely no doubt about it, the veil has been removed; Israel is a Jewish Extremist Terrorist State that behaves like a democracy but is in reality an Apartheid entity. \n\nIt occupies Palestinian lands in the name of "Birth Right" for Orthodox Jews believe they are Yahweh’s (God's) "Chosen People" and were therefore "Promised" the land of Palestine approximately 4000 Years ago.\n\nAlthough this might have been true then, the Same God of Moses, Sent Jesus. Jesus tried to make the Jews return to the path of God, which had been altered by some bad Jews from the Jewish People. Many of the Jews accepted Jesus, but the arrogant ones refused, and collaborated with the Roman Empire soldiers to get him, but they failed. The Mighty Lord, Capable of EVERYTHING Took him away and made the Jews think that he was "Put on the Cross", hence the crucifixion. \n\n600 Years later, The Lord sent His Angel Gabriel, The Lord's Mercy be upon Him, to his Singled out Prophet in the Desert City of Mecca in Al Hijaz in the Arabian Peninsula. Many Christians and some Jews accepted Prophet Mohammed's message, Peace of the Lord be upon him and all God's Prophets. Christians, Jews and Pagans accepted God's final messenger to Mankind and those are the people who are Muslim today, More than 1.4 Billion Muslims world-wide and rising.\n\nThe land of Palestine, in the mean time, was inhabited by normal tribes and peoples from all over the region and the world. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together side by side on the land even throughout the Ottoman Empire rule up until things began to get nasty up in the heads of certain Jewish Extremists who call themselves, the Zionists. \n\nThe Zionists started more than a century ago to seriously pursue establishing a homeland for their own and they started to buy politicians and fool others into subscribing to their false "Jewish Supremacy over Palestine" ideology.\n\nThe Muslims, although great achievers for the past 13 decades, were in the late 1800's and early 1900's suffering from a general Malaise caused by corruption and ignorance and the lack of advancements. \n\nThe last Sultans of the last Islamic Empire, the Ottoman Empire, were too busy with internal politics and holding their weakening Empire together, to the extent that they could no longer function at a sufficient capacity to ensure the protection of all lands.\n\n The Zionist came in as the Muslims were weak, and became stronger when the British and French took over the Islamic Federal State of the Levant (Which today is divided into Syria, Lebanon Palestine and Jordan). \n\nBalfour, The infamous British Criminal Foreign Minister, promised the Zionists a "Jewish Homeland" in the land of Palestine. He wasn't at right to promise that which he doesn't own, of course, because It wasn't the British's land for them to give it away.\n\nSo, the Zionists actually believed themselves, and they believed that they now have a State of Israel. They tricked thousands of Jews into coming from their countries to this foreign country of Palestine. \n\nThey succeeded. And the unsuspecting Muslim and Christian Palestinians were overwhelmed with this sudden ferocious attack against them. The Zionists were capable of using their European connections (where most of them came from) to bring in large supplies of Machine guns, APC's (Armored Personnel Carriers) and even airplanes. They bombed Palestinian towns (back then, Palestinians at the most, had those old WWI single round shotguns).\n\nThe Palestinians were a people living under Ottoman Rule, as part of the Ottoman country, just like Iowans, Californians, are living under US federal law. The Jews claim that there was no Palestinian State. that's what they like to say to themselves and to others, to justify their crime of course. But they're absolutely lying and clearly out of line with true

As for Jews or Muslims (and both should be caps btw) I dont like&#92;dislike them or anyone else because of a blanket judgement by society of them, their faith, race or ethnic trait.  As for "Muslims" in particular.... I do think the moderate Muslims (If any such persons exist) are letting the foaming at the mouth militant radicals do their faith a great diservice by not DAILY loudly and publicly condemming the current atrocity being commited by the militant Islamists in the name of their religion.  I say daily because, check the news, an opportunity does present itself at least once daily.  So, having said that, my opinion of the radical extremist mutation of Muslims that claim to have a mandate from Allah to kill anyone not accepting "the prophet" is they make a strong case for drowning at birth and I would gladly take my turn at the creek bank.  More bluntly, I laugh like all HELL everytime I hear on the news about one of their ball bearing and nail packed bombs going off pre-maturely and blowing the butchering morons up.

Whoever gave you this assignment is forcing you to make an argument that's both unethical and illogical. It sounds like a trap. \n\nYou just can't win it.\n\nIsrael is a tiny country of 6 million, surrounded by 300 million hostile Arabs and Muslims who want Israel destroyed. Israel is in a constant struggle to defend itself. \n\nIran, Syria, Lebanon, the Arabs of Gaza are all actively attacking Israel right now. \n\nKassam missiles are being fired into Jewish communities inside Israel everyday. \n\nhttp://www.fuelfortruth.org\n\nhttp://www.palestinefacts.org\n\nGood luck.

Israel is a valid state and has it's own right to exist just like Pakistan has it's own right to exist. Isreal has enemies near it's border and Pakistan has India near it's border (they are enemeies). The major difference is that Pakistan has friends near by it. Pakistan is friendly with it's neighbors other than India. Israel has NO friends in the Middle East at all. It was their biblical homeland thousands of years ago and they have the right to be there now. All of the confusion and caos now goes back to the Balfour Decloration in the early 1900s when the region was under British influence.

Israel is not to blame Muslims' assisted by most of the world press, will twist the story. Anyone who deliberately enters a battle zone to protect combatabants on 1 side is asking to get shot. I think they deserve Darwin awards.

Sir, some terrorists hate freedom. Some fight for it. What ever their objective is, any form of terrorism is plain bad as it means as the name implies - gianing ground through terror. Holland, Canada and Sweden do not help organisations such as terrorist groups in direct ways. But US does. When ever a country elects someone we do not like (like Chilie, like Nicaragua, like Cuba) we fund people to destroy that establishment and therefore denying their democratic right. We also bomb countries with leaderships that are not selling us oil. That is why Amenricans are hated by all smaaler countries. Israel - where I believe Jews do have a rightful claim to the land - we help them despite of atrocities and despite of the obvious fact that they STEAL LAND that belong to Arabs. Jews and Arabs are cousins, even according to the Bible. But to steal from one cousin to give the other...... mainly because we are bullied by Jewish lobby and we need a controlling factor in Middle East is something all US presidents will have to answer the God when their name is called to justify their actions. \n\nNow you know why we are so hated and bombed by peoples around the world. I have, for reasons of brevity, left off VietNam - where many died on both sides in the battle to stop communists from taking over. Just one question though. WHAT WERE THE COMMUNISTS TAKING OVER? Answer is IT WAS FROM FRENCH COLONIAL RULE - SOMETHING WE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED bcoz we need to have other people exploited. No religious man with ANY rightousness shall condone imperialism - ALAS, WE THE WORLD POLICE OF FREEDOM.......... God bless America.

I cant agree more with you.You are so right,i dont think any muslim or jew can hate each other forget about killing,i've studied almost all the religion quite vividly and have understood that none encourages killing of innocent people or any people unless you have to defend your family or religion(say mosques,synagogues,temples etc holy places)To me hate is contigeous,no matter who you are if you have hate for something particular you'll see that at the end you'll be hating almost everything that you have around you and maybe you'll start hating yourself too.Hate is a big word..one might not like something with all his heart but he/she shouldnt hate it.Patience i believe is the best way to deal with stuff like this.Just because i've a jewish name or a muslim name doesnt make me a jew or a muslim....he/she is a jew or a muslim is someone who obeys everything in the religion or atleast tries to and completely avoid wut is forgiven.None of the religions in the world say that hate other religion,it's the lack of knowledge about their religion that they have grown into such beasts that they use their name of their religion to get benefit out of it.I'm a Muslim and i dont hate any jews or any christians or any human being.I practise Islam as a way of my life,not just as a religion and Alhamdulillah i try to enforce Islam in my life in every way i can.I dont feel any hatred towards anyone?why is that,is it because i am not a good muslim?I dont think so....i know a lot of people who r like me and thinks like me too.To me most of these killings r for political reasons and trying to gain benefits for some very few powerful individuals who influences these poor jews and muslims all around the world to pursue something they want to achieve in any way they can.Wa'salaam.May Allah bless you all.And Allah(God) knows best.

The Palestinian/Arab/Moslem community will never allow a non-Muslim, non-Arab, non-Arabic-speaking community to live, prosperously, in their midst. It counters everything they believe, that Islam is superior, and therefore moslems must rule the world, that the Dhimmi community (dhimmi are the non-Moslem, "people of the book," including Jews and Christians) who are to be subjugated, can not be so much more prosperous than they. Because for decades and decades, the leadership of the Palestinians taught their people to hate. \n\nThe Palestinians were never absorbed into the countries in which they were told to flee to, by the Arabs, when Israel became a State::\n\nPalestinians of Lebanon were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps, where the Lebanese blamed the Israelis.\n\nPalestinians of Jordan were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps in the "West Bank" where the Jordanians blamed the Israelis.\n\nPalestinians of Syria were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps where the Syrians blamed the Israelis.\n\nPalestinians of Egypt were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps in the Gaza Strip, where the Egyptians blamed the Israelis.\n\nWhen Barak, the Prime Minister of Israel, went to the peace table with Arafat and Clinton at Camp David, Barak gave him all but about 3% of what Arafat wanted, Arafat said no, and began the Intifada, the violence, again. Look this up on the internet, anywhere, you will see what i mean.\n\nThere will be no peace until there is no Israel, and the world, when it happens, will sadly say they're sorry, and then the terrorists will turn their attention toward the West. \n\nSource(s):\nFROM TIME IMMEMORIAL: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine; by Joan Peters\n\nMYTHS AND FACTS ONLINE:\nA Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict\nhttp://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths/mftoc.html

God takes sides??  Does he love this country more than his children in IRAN and IRAQ?  He plays FAVORITES?\n\nOMG.  I thought his love was equal!  Hmm, I guess I'm wrong.. \n\nHe's already bombed the Iraqis..  When you say MIDDLE EAST, do you include Israel, too?  \n\nDo you really think he's going to strike out on Iran?  We don't need to when Israel can do it again.\n\nUgh.. my head hurts from stupid questions like yours.

I'm  Muslim and i have nothing against the Jews, but I'm 100% against the Zionist state of Israel. before Israel was declared the Jews, Christians and Muslims lived together all over the middle east in peace. it wasn't until the migration of the European Jews (Zionists) who came from all over Europe and settled in Palestine which has been a British colony since the first world war. when the Jews of Europe moved to Palestine they started their terrorist operations against the Native inhabitants of the Land and specifically the Muslims and Christians. they burned their houses, killed many and drove the rest out of their homes into the deserts. in 1948, the state of Israel was declared by the UN and the land was divided into two states, with the Jewish area consisting of roughly 55% of the land, and the Arab area roughly 45%. Jerusalem was planned to be an international region administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status.\n\nthe Arabs knew that this is done by the British super power to put the Arabs in their place plus they felt that the land is being officially stolen therefore the 1948 war started which resulted in the defeat of the Arabs and Israel gained an additional 26% of the Mandate territory west of the Jordan River. Jordan, for its part, held the large mountainous areas of Judea and Samaria, which became known as the West Bank. Egypt took control of a small strip of land along the coast, which became known as the Gaza Strip.\nEstimates of the final refugee count range from 400,000 to 900,000 with the official United Nations count at 711,000.The continuing conflict between Israel and the Arab world resulted in a lasting displacement that persists to this day.\nImmigration of Holocaust survivors and Jewish refugees from Arab lands doubled Israel's population within a year of independence. Over the following years approximately 850,000 Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews fled or were expelled from surrounding Arab countries and Iran. Of these, about 600,000 settled in Israel; the remainder went to Europe and the Americas.\n\nfor those atrocities that happened in the past and still happening until now. I feel my rejection of the state of Israel is justified. and i understand how the Arabs feel.\nbut to be practical and look for peaceful solutions i came to agree that if Israel pulls out of ALL the occupied territories (1967 borders) i think there might be a chance for co-existence between Arabs and Jews. after all we do worship one God and from the same origin.\n\npeace!

No Israel is not always right. They claim to just defend themselves and this is far from the truth. Look at media coverage that is not from the US. The invasion of Lebanon recently Israel invaded that country because two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped. The Israeli soldiers were illegally inside of Lebanon, but they dont mention that in the US. Israeli has kidnapped hundreds of Palestinian leaders, democratically elected leaders and put them in jail for no cause, they crossed into Palestine and took these people from their homes. There are reasons the arab countries hate Israel and it isnt that stupid line they hate the jews. Jews are not Israelis, "Jews" are people who practice Judaism. Israelis are the people who live in Israel.
