&gt; Consider that the US and Israeli Governments are responsible for far more loss of innocent lives per year than any of these terrorist groups.<p>That might possibly be true of the US government, given it&#x27;s at war in plenty of places, but AFAIK israel is only in one theater, and the death toll among palestinians in 2014 (the highest number in recent times) was reportedly 2300[0]. Citation needed?<p>ISIS is reported to have killed a lot more people.<p>Also, israel mostly states &quot;we will defend ourselves&quot;, and so does the US. As much as that might be BS, it&#x27;s not as bad as ISIS explicitly stating it wants to erase other cultures.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2015&#x2F;mar&#x2F;27&#x2F;israel-kills-more-palestinians-2014-than-any-other-year-since-1967" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2015&#x2F;mar&#x2F;27&#x2F;israel-kills-mo...</a>
