Of course Israel is going to be targeted. If you were muslim and were in the position that many muslims are in reference to Israel, and how much support Israel has received from the west, you would be mad to.

I am not saying that Iran is right in saying that Israel should not exist, or that the west is right in protecting it. It's just normal to understand both sides(I would argue that understanding Iranian's is easier than understanding the west defending Israel; however this is relative to what you believe and see on a daily basis.)

So that some of you know. In one of my Middle Eastern classes we were studying culture clashes in Israel. Believe it or not most Palestinians and Israelis want the suicide bombs, shootings, and overal terrorist attacks to stop. Many people are ignorant to this and think that these people are savages and all they want to do is fight and shoot and kill for whatever glory they so wish to conceive in their mind.
