So did Isreal do the right thing?

[Mr Peabody]

What I don't understand is why when Isreal goes to war in the Middle East, why the rest of the world seems to think there must be some kind of cease fire? It just seems to be treated differently than when the U.S. invaded Iraq or other past conflicts between whatever country. Countries usually put out a statement either condemning or saying, "well it's justified", or ignore it all together, but with Isreal, there has to be all these meetings to try to hammer out a resolution to have a truse. It's like the rules for the rest of the world don't seem to apply for the Middle East. Maybe that's a bad thing. Maybe the world should try to intervene to stop any fighting between all countries. Maybe I don't have the whole picture but if I was Isreal, I'd be offended by countries trying to tell me not to do something when they have all mostly done the same thing themselves.

Most of the world seems fine when Israel takes missles and bombings but when they retaliate it's a different story.

Most of the world would like to see Israel gone.
