8 reasons why we should all support Israel in Gaza crisis now, also support peace for Palestinians too.
Why?
1. Israel is a stabilizing force in the Middle East, it sincerely seeks long-term peace and respects the co-existence of all races and religions in harmony.
2. Israel is a catalyst for economic development and free enterprise ideals in the Middle East. Israel supports anti-poverty efforts. One of the root causes of Palestinian discontent is poverty, let us support Israel and help the whole region win the war against poverty and other social problems.
3. Israel is a vibrant political democracy, despite being practically in a state of war and constantly under siege.
4. Israel is a vanguard nation in the global war against terrorism and extremism.
5. In the present crisis, evidences show that Hamas forces in Gaza have been shooting hundreds of rockets into Israel indiscriminately and attacking civilians, therefore the military acts of Israel are for self-defense.
6. I believe the vast majority of Palestinian people want peace, an independent nation and economic security, not constant warfare caused by extremist or militant elements or terrorists. Let us support Israel in its longstanding and unending quest for peaceful co-existence with Palestinians.
7. For Christians worldwide, God said in the Bible that we shall be blessed if we support the Jewish people.
8. Last but not the least, let us support long-term peaceful settlement of the problems between Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East, by promoting mutual trust and respect, tolerance for all religious faiths.

The news report below is from Newsmax:
The United States should support Israel in any assault against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum charged on Thursday in an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV.
“We should support our ally in its ability to defend itself. Israel is defending itself against repeated attacks,” Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator and chairman of Patriot Voices, told Newsmax at Restoration Weekend 2012 in Palm Beach, Fla. “There have over 850 rockets fired this year.
“Imagine if Mexico was lobbing rockets into El Paso and Tucson. We would be outraged. We would immediately tell them to either stop or we are going to go into there and clear out those areas that are beyond government control – and do it for them. That is exactly what is going on in Israel.”
Earlier on Thursday, Palestinians battered Israel with more than 200 rockets in the heaviest fighting in four years, killing three people as Israel pressed a punishing campaign of airstrikes on militant targets across the Gaza Strip.
Three rockets targeted Tel Aviv, setting off air-raid sirens in bold attacks that led Israel to signal that a ground operation was imminent. At least 12 trucks were seen transporting tanks and armored personnel carriers, and a number of buses carrying soldiers arrived.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he had authorized the army to call up as many as 30,000 additional reservists for possible action.
Fifteen Palestinians also have been killed in two days of shelling.
Israel and Hamas have largely observed an informal truce for the past four years. But in recent weeks, the calm unraveled in a bout of rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes.
“The Palestinian Hamas, in Gaza, and in the West Bank, they are very, very clear that they do not believe in Israel’s right to exist,” Santorum told Newsmax on Thursday. “They have never recognized their right to exist. They are doing everything they can to create tensions, knowing that the vast majority of the world is going to support the Palestinian cause, as they do in the United Nations.
“This is a test of whether this president, because America has been alone in the world in supporting Israel – post-election – is willing to stand up for Israel,” he added. “I am hopeful that the President will pass that test, but certainly if you look at his record over the past four years, he has been the weakest friend to Israel than Israel has ever had in the White House.”
