What a Load of Crap!
Iran funds terrorist groups like Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which murder the innocent, and target Israel, and destabilize the Palestinian territories.
---George Bush
I would say that Israel destabilizes the Palestinian territories -and the entire Middle East- far more than these groups do through its brutal occupation and apartheid policies. As former president Carter noted, the West Bank is crisscrossed by "for-Jews-only" roads and dotted by "for-Jews-only" settlement colonies. Palestinians there can be killed for getting close to these apartheid roads.
In fact, if it wasn't for the Israeli occupation and the venom it spreads in the Middle East and the relationship between the US and the Muslim World much of the world's terrorism would not have existed.
