Why is Israel attacked so much?

Answer 1

When any person or group feels offended and attacked, they tend to feel "defensive". Since countries are made up of people, the same "feeling" can occur for the majority of people in a country who have felt maligned and mistreated. Being "defensive" is a form of protection and protest, whether the protest is verbal or through actions. So if Israel is "defensive", you'd only need to look at the history of the country to see how it has experiences "offenses" against it and its people.

Answer 2

Israel is not under "constant attack", although Israel is attacked often. The primary reason for these attacks is that various Arab and Muslim groups virulently oppose Israel's Right to Exist and Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Of course, there are many in-feeding reasons for these beliefs and they can be read at the Related Question below.

Answer 3

Israel is portrayed as an evil country by some of the media, by many U.N. and E.U. statements, and by much of the Arab and Muslim world.This despite the fact that Israel has better human-rights than any other country in the region (click on the blue text for details).

Israel has been boycotted for decades, and its citizens have suffered from the conflict, yet it continues to be optimistic and it enjoys God's protection.

The presence of the Jews in Israel is questioned by some, despite the Jews' history in and from Israel, and despite God's clear words bestowing Israel to them. Words which are recognized by Islam as well.

Those who condemn Israel for its side in the conflict, fail to condemn the actions of Israel's enemies, no matter how heinous.
