So I guess you didn't see the 37 pages of this very argument in the 'In the news...' thread.
I do not believe the West is actively supporting Israel.
They are. Billions of dollars worth of arms each year. Just a few weeks ago when Israel ran low on ammo from bombing the Gaza strip, the US Congress immediately voted to resupply them with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of missiles.
if the Mexicans were lobbing bombs across the border
Why would Mexicans do this? Absolutely no reason to, so a ridiculous comparison.

if Israel didn't invade and occupy Palestine on the biblical belief that they are Gods chosen people and that Palestine is their promised land, then i don't think many rockets would be fired every afternoon from the top of school buldings.

According to the Congressional Research Service US aid to Israel (mostly in the form of military aid) is currently running to the tune of about $3 billion per annum (page 26 provides a handy summary), and has done for some time now. Whether that's 'actively supporting' Israel is a matter of semantics, but it looks like quite a bit of support of the active variety to me.

That's because the West don't actively support Israel.
Aside from the abstention or No votes on resolutions in the UN, lack of sanctions, softly worded press statements.
Oh - and the supply of bombs, guns and killing machines.

I do not believe the West is actively supporting Israel. Could you imagine the swiftness and severity of US retribution we would see if the Mexicans were lobbing bombs across the border every afternoon form the top of school buildings? The Israelis are stuck in the middle of a fucking furness surrounded by people who want the ultimate destruction of the Jewish state.
