Agree that is an excellent explanation for how it used to be.

More recently radical Islam wants more than Israel dead, they want ALL non Muslims dead, and sharia law imposed world wide.

The culture in the middle east is so infused with hate and violence they will never stop killing no matter what. Millions are driven from childhood on by their religious leaders to kill EVERYONE who does not share their religious beliefs.

We're dealing with millions who believe a bunch a virgins in the 7th heaven are waiting for men who kill themselves while slaughtering innocent people. How can that be dealt with? Kill every damned one of them is the only surefire way, and nobody has the stomach for that.

Read "The Haj" by Leon Uris to better understand the Arab culture and learn a lot about the events around modern Israel's creation. Old book with fictional characters, but very accurate.
