that's the perception that's being generated by the Arab run news
agencies based in countries where the governments usually don't believe
Israel has a right to exist.


I don't think you'll find it's the *existence* of Israel that is the
problem, it's *where* it exists that is the cause of the trouble. For
example, if the Jews had, let's say, Rhode Island, I'm sure the
Palestinians and Jordanians would be quite happy but would you?


Err, Muslim extremists have shown with great clarity that even the other
side of the world is not far enough away for them to live in peace with
democratic societies. They have said over and over that their goal is to
wipe our kind off the face of the earth, unless we convert to Islam and
give up this crazy idea of freedom and democracy.

Well, it's them who will be wiped from the face of the earth.
