News- no, it's propoganda

As Mousepod pointed out, it's not just about the Jews. Israel is a non-Islamic presence and it wouldn't much matter if they were Jews, Spaniards or Martians- they want them out. No doubt this makes the Christians in the area a bit nervous, but they're buying the radical's line that it's an Arab thing and hoping they aren't next. (Look at what the Islamic Arabs have been doing to people in Africa). Now, Iran is certainly financing the militias- but what if the radicals are successful? It's going to be a major cluster**** of civil wars then, because let's face it- Iranians aren't Arabs, they are Persians, and both Persian and Arab sides see the other as less than perfect. Even within the Arab groups, there are sub-groups wasting each other because of perceived superiority. Israel is merely a rallying point at this time, and a diversion. If they weren't there to project against and use in an inflammatory manner, then the rads would just turn their attentions to the next group of undesireables. Israel is not the problem here, it's the radical Islamics.
