Israel: Why They Fight so Hard

To understand the Jewish people, one must look back in time about six thousand years ago. Where what we now know as the Middle East today, they were living a life much like that of the nomadic people of that time. The father of Jewish people was a man named Abraham, who made a covenant with God. This act led to the Jewish homeland we know as the State of Israel, as the home of the Jewish people. Israel was a part of the covenant with God’s chosen people.

The Jewish people were then as still as today the target of the evil people's hated acts, for the fact of being God’s chosen people. God warned the Jewish people that they would be forced out of their homeland, hated, enslaved, mistreated, and even killed because of their high place in God’s eyes. The Jewish homeland, Israel, was taken, destroyed and over ran by many kings and races of people. God told the Jewish people that they would be forced out of their homeland to the four corners of the Earth and endure many hardships. But, God also told the Jewish people that they as a race would never be destroyed and their homeland, Israel, would be returned to them someday.

After near 2000 years of the hardships and waiting, the State of Israel became a nation overnight in 1948 by an act of the United Nations. The United Nations did this act of kindness for the Jewish people because of what happened to the Jewish people during the Second World War, the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the worst act ever carried out in the history of the world. Over six million Jewish people died during Holocaust and millions more suffer things that have forever changed their lives.

As soon as the state of Israel became a nation, it was in a state of war. Israel was attacked by every major Middle East country at the same time being hit on all it borders at once. Despite the odds, Israel was able to repel their attackers and even was able to gain more land for their new country. Israel was very kind to it enemies by giving back some the lands taken during the first war.

In the last fifty years, Israel has fought many wars with the enemies and won every time. Over a hundred Islamic and terrorist groups who do all kinds of things to hurt the Israeli people, have attacked Israel. The Israelis have tried many times to make peace with their enemies and done everything from allowing lands to be returned to other countries (causing many Israeli settlements to be moved or destroyed) to allowing their enemies to have their own self-government with-in the borders of Israel.

So you see Israel has no other choice but fight for their country and life, for that is the only way they can stay free and alive.
