why support israel anyway?

is the terror such as terrorist attacks against peaceful Israel, part of a cycle? i doubt that. some claim that the terror attacks against peaceful israel are just part of a cycle and revenge. the past shows that terror attacks increased whenever israel governments offered peace. for example the terror attack in tel aviv near the U.S. embassy [then still in tel aviv] when abbas was sworn in, then radical arabs "took credit" and said they will continue attacks to "prevent a 2 state solution". as preserved in book the case for israel page 179 we must not forget that such an agreement is unacceptable in the eyes of the violent arabs and will not bring peace.
experience shows that when israel did not respond or responded "mildly" to the terrror attacks then more terror attacks followed. the true "cause" of terrorism is when the leaders send the terrorists to murder israelis.
as in 2001 when arafat rejected the hand of peace, also abbas has rejected offers of peace from ehud-s barak and olmert. that is what prevents the agreement. not settlements and not a desire for revenge. the direct proximal cause is the leaders sending the terrorists and encouraging them with honor and money-for the families if they will attack jews.
we must inform israelis and the world of these facts.
