A couple of things:in the minds of Arabs and Muslims everywhere, the U.S. seems to have accepted all actions by Palestinians against Israelis, including acts against Israeli soldiers as well as those against innocent civilians, as being terrorism. At the same time, however, the U.S. appears to believe that no acts by Israelis against Palestinians constitute terrorism. Arabs see this as a double standard. It's worse than a double standard. The government stood by, did nothing, was not outraged when an israeli soldier murdered a young American woman by mowing her down with a backhoe. Yesterday the Israelis murdered a child who was on his way to school. What the Israelis have been allowed and continue to do has directly resulted in increased terrorism...we need to put a leash on that dog.
