Sarmaniac, 80% of those people have IQ less than 100: <Most people in the world consider the Israelis as terrorists > That's one of the weaknesses of democracy. Historically, there have been Israeli/Jewish terrorists. For example bombing the King David Hotel could reasonably be considered a terrorist act. So could bombing Hiroshima. But Israel does no terrorism these days that I'm aware of that could reasonably be called terrorism. Personally, I don't have a lot of time for the word "terrorist" because it's too wide-ranging. A "War on Terror" is a silly theme. A war against Islam makes sense. At least it is an identifiable ideology with self-expressed adherents. There isn't really an ideology "Terror" and not many self-identifying adherents. The King David Hotel bombing was comparable with Guy Fawkes having a go at Parliament on behalf of the Pope. Mqurice
