The State of Israel; the nexus of three major faiths, and a homeland for the Jewish people. It is also the source for most of the violence in the world today. Terrorism has always existed in this world in some form or fashion. It's less a method of warfare as it is a political tool. From the time of the Roman Empire to European Colonialism, Muslims have used this method to achieve politically what they could never hope to gain militarily. When the United Nations created the State of Israel out of the land that was once known as Palestine, Arabs were again forced to use this method to regain what they felt was rightfully theirs. Because of this Jews have been forced to react in such a way that Israel now more resembles an apartied state than a beckon of democracy in the Middle East. This sad state of affairs has continued now for over 60 years, and in that time Muslim nations have become powerful economically with their near monopoly of the world's oil supply, and militarily with their access to more advance technology. Keeping these factors in mind, you now have Muslims countries looking to redress a wrong they feel has been done to them, and are now starting to flex their muscles as it were to the west. I've said it before and I'll continue to say it; the creation of the State of Israel was the worst mistake ever made by the United Nations, and if the situation in the Middle East doesn't improve soon, it could be a mistake that the entire world may have to pay for.
