Israel learned ZERO from WWII, behaving more and more like Nazi's themselves, each day this "war" of theirs, continues--now apparently indiscriminately bombing a U.N. school--which was sheltering refugee civilians--and a Red Crescent (Middleeastern branch of the Red Cross) ambuance station and who knows how many other NON-MILITARY targets!
The israelii's are behaving more like crazed terrorists than anything else. The US refuses to tell them to back off, or order sanctions against them, because basically, we've become a nation dependant on foreign money and also, Israel is our "strongest" anti-Arab ally. Notice I say anti-Arab. Because, though we may kiss certain oil-rich Arab countries up and down their robed backsides, since the 1950's, America has steadily become power-hungry in the Middle-east, wanting to have control over oil resources--which Russia..and now increasingly China, are also vying for. That's part of the reason Russia supported the Afghan war in the 80's. That's largely the reason we took part in the Gulf War and, is certainly why we pretend to care about (mock) democracy in Iraq.
We have out noses pressed against Israel's buttocks, because we are afraid that if the Arabs have total control over the Middle-east, we will have no power there, no leverage. That's really a simplified answer, but is sort of the truth in a nutshell--the Israelii's are also a big cash-cow for us--a large chunk of the weapons they use are purchansed from the USA, they are also closely tied to us investment-wise as well.
Now, I'm not bein anti-semantic. I could care less about whether someone is Jewish, or Muslim, Atheist or Christan...that's fine. I just hate the terrible hold a foreign country has on my own nation....it's an invisible bond that seemingly can never be severed--without most Americans even knowing it, we are virtually becoming slaves to Israel...in pretty much the same way that some Britons preceive themselves as becoming slaves to America. America went to war with Iraq, and Briton pulled their forelock and followed...now, Isreal is at war with Palestine (again) and we're kissing ass and saying "bombs away!"

I'm a bit anti-American myself--in fact, I'd LOVE to be British. Thanks to my country, I've been in horrendous pain and ill, and unable to see a doctor because my so-called "free" nation deemed that American men, women and children who cannot afford expensive private health care can just suffer and die. I hate my countryment for so blithely being okay with bombing innocent women and children for very dubious reasons. I hate that my fellow countrymen are rude pigs who are the laziest people on earth--mentally lazy, that is...actually afraid of learning and thinking and reading. 
Are Israel becoming a terroist state? When weren't they? And I don't wish to be rude but it seems a bit rich for an American (as it would for me as a Briton if I said it) to accuse another nation of being a terrorist state when you look at what our nations have got up to since 1945
