JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel expressed its full support for embattled US troops in Iraq (news - web sites), saying it hoped they would crush "terrorism" and denying that two Arabs kidnapped by anti-US insurgents had been spying on its behalf.


Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told Israeli newspapers the government was "crossing our fingers for the Americans in Iraq".


"Their success is vital for world peace," the hawkish former chief of staff told Friday's edition of the mass circulation daily Yediot Aharonot.


"If the Americans manage to control the situation in Iraq, which Israel is convinced they will, it will have a positive impact on the whole Middle East, (on) the oil market and the international community's authority."

2. Therein lies the problem. Israel is a major terrorist state, like the US

What the US and Israel call "terrorism" can't possible end until they stop being terrorists.
