Nee, is niet vergelijkbaar met Israël. Amerika voert oorlog aan de andere kant van de wereld, en dat niet om haar inwoners te beschermen, maar vanwege oliebelangen. In Israël is sprake van een burgeroorlog + de dreiging van terroristische organisaties in buurlanden. De situaties zijn volkomen verschillend.
Oh? Waaruit maak je dat op? In Israel zelf hebben de laatste 10 jaar nauwelijks aanslagen of 'oorlogshandelingen' plaatsgevonden. Wel in de bezette gebieden overigens. Maar is dat een onderdeel van Israel?
