Because you are there for Israel.

Thank G d Israel has Olmert. He's certainly up to the task. All this begs the question when will Israel's voters wake up and get this man and his cabnet replaced by a war time government before it is too late.

yes i use the word jihad and not terror .. as the auther used it more than once in this article // jihad in arabic as a meaning is to do efforts to defened your properties ,lifes ,religion or any thing you valued in the life ,and it depeneds on the selfe evaluation and will .. but may the one the jihadist need power from the others .may be the others ,alqueda or iran ,america or russa or china // so if you want to fight the jihad you may fight all these sorces if they have the interest to transport the power // but sure it is diffecult to fight what the one valued or what the one will or many times what he wants and need it hardly // as far as the stratigy is war against terror is in the top of any policy // terror or jihad or defending will be increased

Why the fascination with Al Quaeda as opposed to any other moslem extremist groups(Hamas,Hizballah...etc the list is endless)-all of these groups will do anything they can to further their aims they only go by different names.Like flowers growing from a rose bush, you can give each flower a different name but they are all essentially the same.

As long as analysts continue to believe that terrorist groups are confined to a small number of "extremists" they will never be able to contain terrorism. The fact of the matter is that all groups, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, Taliban, etc. share an ideology that in no way contradicts mainstream Islam. Which is why there is almost no condemnation from supposedly "moderate" Islamic scholars, clerics, or even gov't's in the Muslim world. Egypt is a good case in point. While the Egyptian dicatorship worries about the Muslim Brotherhood only because it may threaten them personally, they never condemn them "ideologically" - on the contrary, the gov't-controled media in Egypt is on the same wave-length as jihadi groups. It is equally anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-American, & rationalizes any & all jihadi terrorism as legitimate as long as it doesn't threaten them. The other Muslim countries are no different. Rather than being limited to a small group of extremists, the ideology of jihad is quite popular - going from actual participation to active support, to financial support, to sympathy with their goals. If they had no popular support, they could not exist. No amount of of "anit-terrorism" measures will succeed without taking this into consideration. You can't fight an enemy if you won't even define it correctly.

Hezbollah,Hamas,Al-Qaeda,Taliban,etc are all the same terror groups all want the same thing,to establish a Muslim Civilization world wide, and destroying those that oppose it! That means they want to destroy Israel,USA,Europe,Jordan,even Russia and china! The only people they will allow to survive will be Muslims and onlythe type that is like them,as Shia and Sunni have been killing each other throughout history! So the world must form a united front against these terror groups and fight them together, as if only a few countries fight the terorists it will be a losing battle ! United we stand,divided we fall!

As an American, I say we must stay in Iraq and Afganistan inorder to keep the war on terror in check. It will take 10 years or more to achieve this goal. I do not think our politicians in congress will have the guts to keep this thing going. The next election of congress and president will determine whether we stay the course or surrender. If the latter happens it will be desasterous for both Israel and USA.

First, it would mean an end to Israeli terrorism of Palestinians and hopefully the retaliation/resistance terrorism against Israel. The bigger the oppression and aggression of the USA and Israel, the bigger the resistance. It's a vicious cycle. Who will stop it? Bin Laden in Nov 2002 told the Americans: As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple: (1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us. a) You attacked us in Palestine: (i) Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily. (ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this. When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islaam, the religion of all the Prophets peace be upon them. Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic Ummah that believes in all the Prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon them) - and we make no distinction between them. (iii) The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.

Judaism is at least 2500 years before Islam .....So stop you bull ....and there were many Jews in the middle east ....Where do you think they are they now? be real for a change ...search for the real truth, think for yourself, not the same old repeats of what someone tells you .. don't be another sheep
