Because the Muslims PURPOSEFULLY target civilians and other non-combatants. The Israelis do not, nor do they 'kill ppl in Palestine ever day'. Also, the Israelis have shown their willingness to allow ANYONE who desires it to live in peace in Israel and worship as they choose. The Muslim nations on the other hand condemn EVERY religion other than Islam and have expressed their desire to destroy the ENTIRE nation of Israel and all of it's supporters.
Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East. They are surrounded by enemies who kill children on purpose and use children as suicide bombers. You need to get educated.

Reality check time!
Many, many people call Israelis occupiers and the government terrorists, while going on endlessly about the Palestineans. Unless you only watch FOX news, you'll hear this a lot.
Israel is a nation establishd and recognized by the U.N.
The Palestineans don't have a country yet. That's what needs to happen, but the terrorist groups need to stop firing rockets at Israel for any progress to be made on that front. And since Jordan (not Israel) occupies 70% of the area which used to be called Palestine, that's a bigger issue.
Israel just wants to be left alone. They left Gaza and people started using it to stage attacks. The land they took in recent wars was in response to attacks by other countries, Israel did not start those wars.
By the way, terrrorists are people that blow up places, it doesn't matter if they're muslim, sikh, christian, hindu or atheist. There are almost 2 billion muslims in the world, most of whom aren't criminals or terrorists. So people aren't calling muslims anything- they are calling the radical few who attempt to subvert Islam for violence what they deserve to be called- terrorists.

You have to understand what the Israelis have been facing for the past century. I'm sure you're aware of the Holocaust during World War II where over 15 million Jews were killed, but do you know of the history of the Jews AFTER World War II? They were allowed to return to the land of their forefathers, and the U.N. set up the country of Israel, which was officially incorporated in 1949. To this day, there are Arab countries in the Middle East who still refuse to recognize their sovreignty. The Israelis in the region have literally been at war with at least one other country in the Middle East or at least one radical Palestinian/Muslim faction since they returned to the Middle East. They are surrounded on all sides by Arab nations who would love nothing more than to see every Jew in the region eliminated. Imagine growing up in a country where you could be killed by a terrorist bomber just walking to the corner store to get some milk. For the Israelis in the Middle East, their daily life is literally a struggle for survival against people who want to kill them for no other reason than the fact that they are Jews. You may consider the aggressive manner in which they defend themselves to be extreme, but I bet your attitude would be very different if you grew up in the war zone that is today's Israel...
P.S.: No, I'm not Jewish. I just think that the Jews have a right to survive and we have no business telling them how they should protect themselves.

First, I believe that Israel has a right to exist.
Having said that,
One reason is because history is written by the winners...many famous Israeli politicians were terrorist against the Brits, before the independence. Former president Begum, I think, was famous because of the bomb he placed in the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Golda Meir (another Prime Minister) said something like "we forgive the Arabs for killing our children...we do not forgive them for making us kill theirs..."
Its true that the current Israeli behavior is unacceptable. They kill whoever, whenever, wherever they want. They have crossed the border of sanity, not only of Palestine.
This mess will not stop until Israel gives a solution to Palestine. Israel placed Palestinians in a situation of no loss. Worse they cannot be.
Is a pity, because Jews are terrific people who deserve living in peace.

Nicole, I think you need to look further into what you are asking. Israel is defending itself from outsiders who wish to rid them not only from their own land, but off the face of the planet. They take a very strict stance when it comes to their extinction. 6,000,000+ wipped out during WWII, so they have to take a very strong stance against any acts of aggression against them. Israel will never attack, but it will always defend/respond when it is attacked or threatened.
Now, muslims are called terrorist (actually the extremist or so they say) because they believe you are either muslim or an infidel. And if you are an infidel, then they are doing Allah's work by killing you. It seems all the car bombs and attacks against innocent civilians in the world today is froma muslim. So, you tell me...does this make them a terrorist?

Probably because the Israelis act in defense of their nation and don't target innocent civilians. Sure some civilians get killed when they respond to terrorist strikes by muslim terrorists, but unfortunately that is the case in any war that has ever been fought. When terrorists hide amongst the civilian population and use them as human shields, unfortunately civilians get killed.

Isrealis are defending themselves plus they don't want to kill everone who isn't part of Judaism. Israelis RETALIATE for suicide bombers, kidnappings, etc., they don't attack unprovoked. The Israeli military doesn't hide itself among the general population as do Muslim terrorists to create more casualties during these retaliations which can then be attributed to the Israelis.

A terrorist doesn't represent a country...

because they are not doing what you are accusing them of
they are not killing and kidnapping nomadic Arabs (who falsely call themselves Palestineans since 1967) at all
Israel only defends itself against Arab fascists that want to destroy it
when the fascist Arabs stop, Israel will no longer have to defend it self against bloodthirsty satanists (muslims)
