I can see where you're coming from Stonecutter, but I have to disagree for several reasons:

1) Who started the chain of violence? It wasn't Israel.

2) Israel targets their opponents, while the terrorists just attack civilians, dogs, children. It doesn't matter to them.

3) Palestine is a fictional state and there are no such thing as Palestinians. Look it up, its true.

4) Israel has made large land concessions in the past, which the "Palestinans" used to continue their terror attacks.

5) The "Palestinian" terrorists want the total destruction of Israel, not land concessions. This has been evident when cease fire after cease fire was broken by the terrorists that the PLO is either unable or unwilling (I'm betting the latter) to control. Do you think this is a realistic goal in ending the violence?

In the end peace lies in the hands of the "Palestinians". They have to make and KEEP an agreement if they want peace. Israel is not going anywhere and no one should expect it to, whether or not you agree or disagree with the circumstances surrounding Israel's creation. Once the terrorists come to realize this, then we may see an end to the violence.

Now I can see how Middle Easterners can dislike the West for their support of Israel, but I do not agree with you calling them terrorists. Israel does not qulaify on any level.
