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. I see.......you don't think the American soldiers who raped and then killed a 15 year old girl were not performing terrorist acts; how about the 21 year old Afghan tax cab driver........the one who has three kids, was very quiet and was innocent of any wrong doing.......the one American soldiers tortured so badly his legs looked like they had been run over by a Mack truck......repeatedly...for fun.... and only stopped when he was dead; how about Haditha or abu Ghraib......what do you call those stunts? The loving embrace of America's finest? How about Israeli bombing forays 24/7? Do you think those caused love and grace in the souls of innocent Lebanese? War is terrorism! When do you think you guys will begin to realize that? How long does it take you to get up to speed? When America invades and wages war, it doesn't feel like a refreshing swim in a spring fed pond. On the country, it feels like hell! Its the ultimate terrorism! " 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. My God.....if they were to do the same in the US, you would never speak of them in such glowing, lofty terms. You would say they have violated America's sovereignty; totured, raped and killed our women and children; violated are most holiest of places and venerated institutions. You would do everything you could including suicide bomb in order to expel them from this land. Such hypocrisy.....its no wonder people go to war......they only see their side of things.......and it always smells of perfume and not of the cow dung it really is. Israel is a violation of Arab land. We took land from the Arabs against their will and created a Jewish homeland to assuage our guilt over the Holocaust. If Sunni Arabs took New Jersey and Delaware and turned them into a state for Shia Arabs.......all hell would break out. Such is your hypocrisy! 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. And that's how they see Americans! Welcome to Hell!
