Should We Invade israel?

I see a lot of time, effort, and consideration was put into your thread, BHF. I will concede I am only aware of so much on this topic but will provide my best answer possible. I know you're a very political person. I respect that and will say that you have given much food for thought. Here is my take on the matter:

In the past hundred years war has seen carpet bombing of Europe, Atom Bombs dropped on Japan and Napalm used in Vietnam. In the past two hundred years the indigenous people of the United States of America, Australia and Africa have been displaced by immigrants from the outside world who had no claim to the land whatsoever.

The Arabs are tribal and have warred with each other for millennia, in 1948, 1967 and 1973 they conspired to act together and attack the State of Israel they lost all of these wars. Most of the indigenous Jews in these Arab countries were displaced and settled in Israel. Wars create refugees; it is part of the whole diabolical process.

The world has never been an overly fair place. The absolutely regrettable plight of the Palestinian people could have been solved, many times over, in the past fifty years if the Arab potentates had used a small percentage of their oil income to ensure that each and every Palestinian was housed and had financial stability. They could build Dubai out of the desert but have allowed the Palestinians to remain refugees; as it suited their political ends in maintaining the status quo and keeping their kings and princes in power.

Do I think Israel needs to be held accountable? yes
Do I think its neighbors need to be held accountable? yes
Do I feel Israel could do a better job policing itself? yes
Do I think Israel has a right to exist? yes
Do I think Palestine should exist? yes
Do I like the Hamas? no
Do I believe it's fair to the Palestinians trying to work with the Israelites? no
Should Israel have nuclear weapons, which they do have? I don't know how to answer that
Should the Arabs countries do more to help, especially Saudi Arabia? yes
Do I like that Israel is a western style country with democratic institutions and that need to be protected? yes
Do I think the ruling Orthodox Jews have too much say-so in Israeli politics? yes
Do I think what I said above is saying bad things about them? no, but more representation would be nice
Do I think it's fair to Conservative and Liberal Jews? no
Do these remarks make me anti-Israel or otherwise? no
Do these remarks make me an aggressor towards Middle Easterners not Israeli? no
Should more be done diplomatically and not militarily? perhaps
Is the United Nations doing enough? They can only do so much at a time
Should Israel be invaded? no, too much is at stake. Pulling out would be a more humane option. Even then, it is too risky given all the dynamics of foreign alliances and all it curtails.

I don't have the answers but I am glad we are able to discuss this in the most meaningful way possible. I am trying to have an open mind here. I'll listen and hear what else you may have to say. Talking about these things are never easy. I'm glad we could be honest with each other.

Where will the Jews, whose ancestors were expelled from England in the 13th century, persecuted by Spain in the 15th century, chased out of Russia in the 19th century, and sent to death camps in German-occupied Europe in the 1940s, be permitted to settle and feel safe from oppression if we 'invade Israel'?

I support a two-state solution. I abhor the present Israeli government. But I am not prepared to sit back and watch a new generation of Jews terrorised, persecuted and murdered, without a safe haven for them to escape to.

And yes, I know the answer is to end global anti-Semitism, but can you guarantee that?
