Nothing is going to change until someone makes them accept the existence of Israel and stop trying to "wipe them off the map".

Let's not go to war with the terrorists. Instead, let's eliminate these anti-national elements with planning and ruthless action. I hope you will now agree with me. I'm for whatever works, and you can call it whetever you like. Now, who do you think should implement the planning and ruthless action? >
