Mr Bharadwaj.. to answer ur question. israel didnt exists before the world wars. if someone comes and camps in front of ur house and puts up his own house and asks u to vacate will u willingly do so? same has happened with palestine. neway since u wont understand there is no point to explain that israel is jjust a front for US power in the gulf and i might add it has been successful in keeping the fanatics in the gulf under control due to fear. Mr Sanjay-==> muslims dont fear israel. its the people in govts like saudi etc who fear the loss of their power. muslims dont have 'virulent policies' against others. muslims want to be left in peace. its the fanatics amongst us who are the equivalent of RSS/bajrang dal who dont want peace. these are encouraged by the politicians in india/paksitan. yes the US and europe are indeed in wrong in believing that just by merely killing others the problem will be solved. we have to delve deeper as to why these fanatics are gainign hold. a simple education and poverty alleviation will more than halve the number of terrorists coming from the backward regions of pakistan and other supposedly muslim countries. hope i answered ur question
