What Palestinian and other Muslim extremists have failed to understand is that their attacks on innocent civilians are making it impossible for the Israelis and most of us in Western culture to listen to any legitimate grievances they might have.

They claim that their attacks on civilians are justified because of Israel’s and the West’s military might. They say that attacking innocent civilians is their only way of fighting back. They claim that civilians are legitimate targets because civilians support the governments they oppose. These arguments are falling on deaf ears here in the West. Their attacks on civilians have only created greater resolve to fight against Muslim extremists by Israel and the United States.
