Is there any doubt that these attacks were carried out by "Israel's enemies"?

Depends on what you mean. Many, if not most, radical Islamist movements "hate Israel" but that agenda item is far down their list.

Says who? I say it is at the top of all their agendas.

By "Israel's enemies" I mean specifically Palestinian terrorists.

By "Israel's enemies" I mean specifically all terrorists who have attacked Americans.

You make a grave mistake if you believe they're ALL on the same page. It is much more complex than that.

I can only judge by the words of hate coming out of their mouths. Hate for Israel, America, Christians and Jews. Their words are clear enough to anyone who can hear or read.

"The enemy of mine enemy is my friend."

One of the most inane and senseless bases for foreign policy you could possibly imagine.

A necessity in times of War.

In fact, it is this idea that brought us Saddam Hussein (we supported him because Iran was our enemy) and Osama bin Laden (we trained and armed him and his crew to fight the Soviets).and our policies had positive results also.

I trust we NEVER act on this principle again. It comes back to bite us nearly every time, it seems.

It wasn't our principles that betrayed us but the scum that we tried to elevate to the level of humanity who turned on us.

Perhaps because it is on the top of YOUR agenda. It is really quite helpful to keep an open mind so that you don't miss reality.

That makes no sense, except to reveal your own agenda. I refuse to allow Israel to determine what America's interests are. In so doing, I simply suggest that we be as focused on OUR interests as Israel is on hers.

Israel thinks nothing of attacking a U.S. Navy ship in international waters, in three separate attack waves, and killing American sailors.

Israel thinks nothing of coopting American citizens to spy for her, and selling American secrets to AMERICA'S enemies.

If America were as faithless to our friends as Israel is to her "friends," we'd have sold her down the river years ago, and the Palestinian flag would fly over Tel Aviv right now.
