How did Israel deal with terrorism?
Israel knows how to deal with terrorism better than the United States. Back in the early 1980's, Israel bombed one of Saddam Hussein's facilities known to be producing weapons of mass destruction; perhaps this is one reason the U.S. never found such weapons when invading the country 25 years later. It weakened Hussein beyond repair--not just the bombing, but the threat of another one down the road.

Who is stronger hezbollah or israel?
It entirely depends on how you define "strength".
The Israeli Army is certainly much better armed than Hezbollah and while Israel has invaded Lebanon in ground invasions, Hezbollah has never attempted a ground invasion of Israel. Hezbollah has no army that could contest Israel in traditional international combat (such as was seen during World War II for example). However, Hezbollah's effectiveness lies in its ability to blend into local areas and put its men into locations not easily discoverable to Israeli soldiers. This was why the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War has usually been seen as a stalemate or slight Hezbollah victory even though all fighting occurred in Lebanon and Hezbollah incurred many more casualties; Israel was not able to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon as it had previously been able to remove the PLO from Lebanon in 1982.
However, to me, strength is about the idea to form a society where people desire peace and love in their lives even when their neighbors try to act divisively. In this way, Israel is clearly stronger. Regardless of any particular Israeli government, the leadership of the Israeli Army is disinclined from international conflict and openly differs to a civilian government that wants long-term peace (whose conditions vary with the politics of the day). Hezbollah has made clear that they are wholly disinterested in any peace or settlement, saying in their organizational charter that even if all of the Islamic countries made peace with Israel (including a future Palestine), they would continue to fight to oppose Israel.

What can the French Government do to stop and prevent the Islamic Terrorism Crisis in France?
There is NO Islamic Terrorism. Terrorism has no religion. No religion of the world permits killing of innocent human beings. Islam teaches that all human beings are the off-spring of a single couple- Hazrat Adam AS and Hazrat Eve AS. They are all brothers. According to the teachings of the Qur'an, the holiest and most sacred Book of Islam, killing of One innocent human being (irrespective of his caste, color, religion, region, country, is like killing all human race. I am a Muslims. I strongly condemn the ruthless killing of innocent human beings, be it in Paris, London, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan or any other part of the world. I feel for the bereaved families and the departed souls. Many Muslim countries are facing terrorism, especially in Pakistan thousands of Muslims have been killed by the so-called Muslims. Let us raise our voice jointly against terrorism in the world. Let us try to wipe out hatred from this unfortunate planet. All humans have been created by Almighty God, and He loves them all. The merciless murder of innocent people in Paris has shocked every human being, irrespective of religion.

What are the consequences of eschatological terrorism?
when we talk of eschatological, it is better to define it first. Eschatological = The branch of theology that is concerned with the end of the world or of humankind or a belief or a doctrine concerning the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming, or the Last Judgment. Terrorism has been defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. People will say that leader of sect or religions have the religion Connotation for the causes of terrorism. No matter is it said, no matter who the terrorism is comming from, the pricipal motivation is politics. While the 1980s saw a growth of politically inspired terrorism, the 1990s has seen a dramatic increase in terrorism motivated by a religious agenda. As a result, intelligence experts have claimed that we may well be witnessing an emerging trend and shift away from terrorism motivated by political ideology towards a dominant religious terrorism warranting a revision of our notions of the stereotypical terrorist organization. This trend has received some attention within the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and should should be of particular interest to individuals and organizations involved in monitoring extremist and new religious groups and movements, especially with regards to the U.S. domestic terrorism threat.
What are Hamas Fatah and Hezbollah?
All three of these groups are Jihadist terrorist organizations with a number of discernible characteristics. The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since Muslim terrorists exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah, Hamas, or Fatah, they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.
