So, claiming this nation of 7 million that is smaller in size than Lake Michigan to be "posing a threat to world peace" is pathetic, and frankly says much more about Grass than Israel.

So, claiming this group [Al-Qaeda] of several thousand that is smaller in size than a football stadium to be "posing a threat to world peace" is pathetic, and frankly says much more about the US military than al-Qaeda.
Still agree with me? Size has absolutely no relation whatsoever on the ability to threaten something, particularly when said party has nuclear weapons.
But the comparison is meaningless anyway. AQ is not a nation, it's an organization with a certain ideology. It's not comparable to a country, like Israel, which is a collection of various ideologies and worldviews.
If that is the case, comparing their body count is almost meaningless.
Consider that Israel's stockpile, while unknown, is estimated to be larger than Pakistan's and India's combined, and that it is surrounded by enemies rather than merely being bordered by some as is India and Pakistan. Those two are a major threat to world stability and a likely source of a near to medium term nuclear war. We're really lucky that Israel's enemies have not managed to get their shit together since 1973 on the wiping-out-the-Jews front, because if they did or do, it could easily turn into a seriously devastating conflict.
