And defending one's country really doesn't have much to do with religion. Israel just wants to live in peace but the Arabs simply won't let them. Iran (a Muslim theocracy) created and funds multiple terrorist orgs who exist only to destroy the Jewish state, and all the other countries surrounding Israel allow jihadists to roam free. Right now in Egypt jihadists are burning down coptic churches and homes, there is a real fear of genocide. The military dictatorship so far hasn't done shit, nor has this been posted about on DU for whatever reason.
