I've always understood their viewpoint. I just don't 'justify targeting innocents' to cause harm to your enemy under any circumstance. I separate 'terrorists' from insurgents, enemy nations, enemy combatatants, mercenaries, etc.

The intent of Israelis and American soldiers are not to perform terrorist acts, nor do our enemies view us that way.

" how the terrorists feel about the Israelis and American soldiers......

They believe we represent a power in the world that is incompatible with a world that they want to live in. They are not operating simply to defend themselves or out of vengeance; they have offensive goals. They view themselves as riding in an arc, commanding the rains of their terror to cleans the corruption in the world, so they can rebuild it according to divine plan. They are frustrated by our interference and accomplishments and take extreme measures to eliminate us as a barrier to their own goals.

They are extremists because they employ extremely unrighteous means to accomplish an end they believe to be righteous. Their feelings are secondary or completely irrelevant with regard to their actions.
