I love all peoples of the world and believe that if we treat most individuals with Respect we will get it in return.I take care of many muslims in my job and Ifight tooth and nail to help them.However as a Jew I beleive that Israel must live.Except for the United States Jews are at risk for persecution in every country.Israel isn't perfect but it's the only country that looks out for Jews and Jewish interests.I hope there will be peace some day between Israel and Palestine but that cannot be predicated on Israel's destruction which is what Hamas and Hezbollah espouse.
