They said, "We will not recognise Isreal's right to exist as a state.
They didn't want Isreal to have power.
Bush made it out to sound like it was an extremist view that they wanted them to disappear into nothingness and not exist anymore. He said:
"They have told us, 'We will not recognise Isreal's right to exist as a state."
See how one word can be the difference between the U.S. citizens being full-on concerned and not really bothering with it?

Sorry, I repeated that sentence. Bush said:
They have told us, "We will not recognise Isreal's right to exist."

Well, yeah Iran wants to destroy Isreal because of all the terrorism. It is deeply rooted, but I think Bush made us believe that all Islamic countries want to wipe Isreal off the face of the planet, rather than just the Iranians. This is not the other countries intentions

This is a very good question and plummets to the heart of the matter.
States have borders. Israel's borders are in dispute. There have been numerous UN Resolutions calling for Israel to release the lands it has seized illegally. These resolutions haven't been enforced!
The Economist magazine recently had an excellent map of the lands Israel has illegally occupied since the 1967 War. It's astonishing Israel is getting away with stealing soooo much land.
Remember, all Saddam Hussein tried to do was get Iraqi land (namely, Kuwait) back that was taken by imperial British map-makers (who had a new fleet of oil-powered ships that needed cheap oil).
Hypocrisy run amok in foreign policy is what it is. I think that's a reason why the terrorists are angry.

yes .. there is a misconstruing ..
The don't recognize it becoz they see that the way the existence of Israel was illegal because the British, Balfour (in 1917) and the UN (in 1948) didn't have the right to give them the land .. and to help in the existing of Israel ... Jews people could live there with christian and Muslims .. why to have a state ?? this is their opinion .. they don't want to destroy the Jews nor the Christians ..
Bush tries to make Muslims and Arabs hated so he gain the approval of all people to his war against terrorism ..

What part of their statement don't you understand? It is perfectly clear. They don't want the state of Israel to exist. They are trying to destroy. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. It is our only ally in the Middle East. They are surrounded on all sides by terrorists, the same terrorists that attacked us on 9-11.

It's nothing but one more bit of misinformation that our administration uses to spew hatred and instill distrust against muslims.

Well, we may be, but it is due to the fact that they want to destroy Israel, as evidenced by the suicide bombers that happen nearly daily there.
