Reply #38: If Israel were invaded tomorrow she would not be entirely on her own.

[Poll_Blind]

The same nations of the earth which find unprovoked aggression odious in the case of Iraq and potentially Iran would find it equally odious should Israel the victim of unprovoked aggression. The United Nations would come to their aid.

Such is the reason why the United Nations exists. The same family of nations partly responsible for the creation of Israel would not turn their backs on that country should it be victimized.

There are many countries in the United Nations which find that Israel's current government acts outside the law on occasion and files resolutions to call attention to these acts. However, to state that Israel would not be helped at all, that "she would be entirely on her own" is a thankless and unnecessary slap at those who have helped her in the past and who will come to her aid in the future.

Israel needs to court a positive relationship with the international community which is why it has been a member of the United Nations since 1949. Israeli politicians still understand this need. To be part of a greater family of nations is the only way nations may band together to stop such abhorrent practices as unprovoked aggression.

Posts like yours attempt to portray Israel as a victim of the indifference of the world are very distorted and personally distressing to read.
