When Muslim states stop attacking them, and Leave them be. Israel is there, and they have a right to exist live with it and get on with life. How many people will have to die. How many have died over your hate.in the last 2000 years. You don't even know why you hate them anymore. Its a tit for tat situation and it takes someone to stop.
I think Israel has tried to stop on more then one occasion and they always end up getting attacked by some suicide bomber . If you are looking for support of the civilized world then act civilized and maybe the world would be ready to hear your beefs with a more sympathetic ear.
Who wants to deal with people who have no personal rules for who is and isn't a target . Terror is barbaric and makes the Muslim people who once led the world in technology and achievement look like they haven't evolved since biblical times. Even though less then 10 percent deserve that brand. Muslims don't voice their displeasure with the practise of terror enough.
I once heard it said that wars will end only when we learn to love our children more then we hate our enemys. Its time for god sakes to learn to put differance aside and work on getting along
If you want to do harm to the US. Then quit buying the arms that they make and sell to kill people. They will have no market and they will be way less rich because we all know that the US makes more arms then any other country. The fact that you use them is putting more money into their hands. A peacefull way to end the killing and suffering.Is to just stop buying and using weapons. Human life in the eyes of all Gods, is more valuabul then money or land or power.
Stop the hate it starts with you.

wow u people are all pathetic samples of americans (if u r one)
america isnt a terrorist nation nor is israel afterall you people want there to b peace there but how can there be when terrorists are attacking israel and trying to attack other nations like germany recently (they arrested some people who had plotted to attack a train station like in spain a while back. plus if u notice iran wont stop its trying to make nuclear arms. those bastards shouldnt have nukes because they act sub human. if u think thats a rascist statement then maybe u need to listen to the real news where muslims in europe march with signs saying kill all infadels and non believers. this could b the beginning ofWW3 for all we know and you are calling your own country what it is its fighting to destroy? thats sounds like treasonry. if you all hate america so much or the other nations who side with us go join the real terrorists the islamofascists u like to call freedom fighters

When the people telling you "they are a terrorist state" tell you "Israel has stopped being a terrorist state". Or the day you can form you own opinion... I have faith in you.

What nonesense! Lets remind you and friends how the current situation began:
BUT FOR Hezbullah going on Israeli soil, killing 8 and kidnapping 2 soldiers, Israel would not have been on the offensive to destroy Hezbullah.
I am sick and tired of reading this nonesense. Outrageous!

Never. I like the idea that Israel isn't afraid to strike. They even wear uniforms, unlike the terrorist flea bags cowards who hide behind children and the Burkas of women.

According to the book of Revelations, the Armageddon takes place in Isrrael and when this big war finish Isrrael becomes a non-terrorist state, but you need to do a little research in the chapter of Revelations in the Bible, here is a lilttle research I made:
Armageddon
For other uses, see Armageddon (disambiguation).
Armageddon refers generally to end times or giant, apocalyptic catastrophes in various religions and cultures. It may also refer to any great loss of life in battle or use of weapons of mass destruction.
The word Armageddon is thought to be derived from the Hebrew words Har Megido (הר מגידו), meaning "Hill of Megiddo". The referred site is a valley plain called Megiddo, which was the location of many decisive battles in ancient times (see Battle of Megiddo). One of these, which took place in 609 BCE and is described in 2 Kings 28-30 (see Books of Kings) and 2 Chronicles 20-25 (see Books of Chronicles), resulted in the death of Josiah, a young and charismatic ruler whose quick and untimely death precipitated the decline of the dynasty of David and may have inspired stories of the return of a Messiah from this lineage. The valley is marked by the presence of the archaeological mound or tell, representing the accumulated ruins of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements that flourished between 5,000 years ago and 650 BC. Some would argue that the word Armageddon is an early example of a mondegreen.
The only mention of the word Armageddon in the Bible appears in Revelation 16:16: "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon" (KJV).[1] The Bible includes many passages that refer to the concept of Armageddon, however. But this specific Bible prophecy reference is ambiguous whether any event actually takes place here, or whether the gathering of armies is only to be seen as a sign.
In fact, a gathering of the Roman army occurred at this place as a staging ground for one of their assaults on Jerusalem in AD 67. This is consistent with the preterist interpretation that the events of Revelation 16:17-21 refer to events culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. However, one indication that the book predicts a future event is the mention of an army from the east of two hundred million, a number that would not have been likely in any battle of that period.
Another interpretation is that the sudden death of Josiah, a religious reformer in his early 30s who showed great promise of renewing a theocratic Jewish state, resulted in myths of his triumphant return. Josiah is said to have died at the hands of the Egyptian pharoah Necho II just as the Davidic monarchy was in ascendancy after a period of disarray and corruption. His death precipitated the decline of a strongly monotheistic faction in Judea in the years prior to the Babylonian captivity. The idea that a Davidic king would return someday to fight and win at Megiddo is an example of the myth of eternal return.
Before the Second World War, the First World War was commonly referred to in newspapers and books as "Armageddon", in addition to "the Great War".
