Terrorism is a subjective term that's useful for alienating people and ending discussion and diplomacy and that's about it. "Terrorists" also wrap themselves in a flag.

Maybe we should visit Hiroshima again...keep pissing on us until we bring the Holy Hand of God down upon thee. We have done it in the past...and it seems like that is what is being done today. Don't get me wrong...I am not taking sides - but I think it's wrong for Bush to take a side when the US did the same thing (within context) to Japan so long ago.
Fact is...we are having enough trouble keeping our economy in line...we should focus more attention to that and less attention to the other kids in the school yard. Just my opinion.

If you think civilians haven't been targeted here and in the past by Israel you are fooling yourself. Bulldoze homes much?

"La Resistance" in France during WWII was considered a terrorist organization by Germany.
What about the same Taliban and Bin Laden who we supported against the USSR in Afghanistan? They were considered terrorists by USSR at the time of that conflict. It's all about who's side someone is on.
Your either with us, or you are a terrorist.

Children are running around with IED's and guns because mommy and daddy told them - but rules of war state NO CHILDREN are to be killed.
The rules changed...war isn't being made like it used to be :-)

How do I think they should respond? Take the moral highground and have patience and engage in diplomacy instead of perpetuating this adolescent crap. Oh yeah, and then give back the land you stole...

Really? You're like some Israeli fanboi. It's nearly comical. At least look at it from a semi-unbiased stance. For instance, there are humans on both sides and they are nothing more than humans; jewish or not.

Again your history is wrong, but I guess we should give back the US from your point of view? The native americans were here first...
What you are missing is at the same point Israel was created, Palestinians were given an opportunity to make their own nation, and they refused. I guess i am surprised that given how the world has formed and people have fought to create sovereign nations that somehow Israel should be exempt from that.
And the White Paper of 1939 disagrees with your assertion, in fact Britain wanted to limit Jewish immigration. In fact Arabs would have had to grant permission for Jewish immigration.

Recount for me, please, the terms under which the Palestinians were offered their own nation. Put yourself in the Palestinians' shoes and ask yourself if it seems fair. Recall that Muslims (the majority of Palestinians are Muslim) do not take kindly to their land being taken from them. One of the things UBL is upset with us about is our staging of troops on Saudi soil before ODS/ODS. Of all the places to seek a homeland...
