If you think civilians haven't been targeted here and in the past by Israel you are fooling yourself. Bulldoze homes much?

Terrorism is a subjective term that's useful for alienating people and ending discussion and diplomacy and that's about it. "Terrorists" also wrap themselves in a flag.

Maybe we should visit Hiroshima again...keep pissing on us until we bring the Holy Hand of God down upon thee. We have done it in the past...and it seems like that is what is being done today. Don't get me wrong...I am not taking sides - but I think it's wrong for Bush to take a side when the US did the same thing (within context) to Japan so long ago.

Fact is...we are having enough trouble keeping our economy in line...we should focus more attention to that and less attention to the other kids in the school yard. Just my opinion.

Don't they bulldoze homes of those who supported the terrorists? They are hardly "civilians" if they take an active participation in supporting the enemy.

"La Resistance" in France during WWII was considered a terrorist organization by Germany.

What about the same Taliban and Bin Laden who we supported against the USSR in Afghanistan? They were considered terrorists by USSR at the time of that conflict. It's all about who's side someone is on.

Your either with us, or you are a terrorist.

I used to think this way...until you see it up close and then you realize - 80% of the time...the people are in fear for their lives. I still agree with you about the guilty parties...but keep in mind not all people harbor the terrorists because they themselves are also terrorists.

Children are running around with IED's and guns because mommy and daddy told them - but rules of war state NO CHILDREN are to be killed.

The rules changed...war isn't being made like it used to be :-)

I feel bad for the civilians. Israeli civilians haven't been targeted?

I guess the next question would be, how should Israel respond? Or any nation respond to rockets from a neighboring city?

I condemn this thread to Auschwitz.

I guess my point was that BOTH sides instigate the violence. Whenever either side commits violence it is a response to something done by the other side.
How do I think they should respond? Take the moral highground and have patience and engage in diplomacy instead of perpetuating this adolescent crap. Oh yeah, and then give back the land you stole...

Still not as bad as living in Texas.... :)

How about we take over Russia and give them that land instead?

pretty much every women in Chicago weighed 900lb and ate hot-dogs and pretty much made me barf. Dropping the top in December > illinizle.

sounds fair to me;)

i hope both sides kill each other. If you can't behave diplomatically, then kill yourselves.

While that is obviously true...

I didn't realize how shitty Texas was.

Im ok with that cause Israel will win, like every other instance.

Ha I love the environmental section. Hilarious. Poor Tejas.

Really? You're like some Israeli fanboi. It's nearly comical. At least look at it from a semi-unbiased stance. For instance, there are humans on both sides and they are nothing more than humans; jewish or not.

IIRC Obama wants to withdraw from Iraq and plus-up in Afghanistan. Neither of those is technically "middle east", at least not in any of the shops I've worked in.

Why would they take offense? Of course I realize the USA was created (not "born") the same way almost. Starting with Columbus native populations from Haiti and throughout the Caribbean were slaughtered and enslaved, and it didn't stop with the pilgrims either once they landed. American Indians will be the first to point that out if you get them talking about it.

Again, yes, the Native Americans were here first. When did I say they weren't? :jerkit:

Recount for me, please, the terms under which the Palestinians were offered their own nation. Put yourself in the Palestinians' shoes and ask yourself if it seems fair. Recall that Muslims (the majority of Palestinians are Muslim) do not take kindly to their land being taken from them. One of the things UBL is upset with us about is our staging of troops on Saudi soil before ODS/ODS. Of all the places to seek a homeland...

Boil that down a bit, that's about 20 pages worth of material.

I am on my phone but cntl f and search for Arab should bring out the state formation stuff. It's early in the document
