Because the Arab Moslem world tried to destroy them by force of arms more than once and are still smarting from their defeats...
I do recall, in my meandering readings, that the American CIOA posted public photographs of satellite radar imagery of the North African underground aquifers. It was not about nature or "being nice". It was to tell the Russians/USSR, that they could see every nuclear silo in the USSR from their satellites and spy planes.
Which is how Israel knows about the Hamas tunnels. which is why they are bombarding what they are. No doubt these tunnels lead to the Hamas leaders homes and to Schools and Colleges and Hospitals. Typical Hamas operation.
Does the west report the Truth? I have seen one and only one article reporting the PTSD suffered by thousands of Israeli children from the thousands of rocket propelled bombs fired at them. It is only the west which is stopping Israel from invading all the Palestinian areas and putting them under martial law. As they once did with Beirut in 82. But in this case they would be controlling local soil.
I have long since given up on any balanced reporting of the Palestinian Israeli conflict. I have been doing some reading though about the history of these conflicts.
1948 war
Causes of the exodus
Six Day War
Yom Kippur war
The only constant that I can see in this is broken promises, broken cease fire, terrorist attacks on civilians, military attacks on civilians, mainly and mostly perpetrated by the Arab world on the Israeli's. Most of the Israeli response has been against military targets, although not all.
Given the history and the atrocities, the pro Arab bias in the UK press and media is not encouraging.
