Styles 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2003 Unbelievable. It's like equating the 9/11 terrorists attacks to a military operation. There's a HUGE moral difference between specifically targeting a blowing up innocent children and then blowing up innocent rescue workers, and sending tanks in to cease those responsible and being met with resistance and unintentially harming some innocents. No comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2003 They're going to say the same "PALESTINE SHOULD DIE AND ISRAEL IS THE MIDDLE EAST'S HAVEN OF DEMOCRACY" tripe that you did. "PALESTINE SHOULD DIE AND ISRAEL IS THE MIDDLE EAST'S HAVEN OF DEMOCRACY~!" I didn't say the same thing, though, as I added the tilde-bang. Seriously, though, if Israel wanted to get rid of all the Palestinians, they would. And it would take them about two days. The fact that we can still speak of Palestinians in the present tense is a testament to the patience of Israel in this long and bloody conflict. Both sides obviously have blood on their hands, but the Palestinians do nothing but kill innocents and rescue workers. There's no way to morally equate those reprehensible actions with the retaliatory acts of a nation defending its people from senseless killings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cerebus Report post Posted October 3, 2003 (edited) In no way am I defending suicide bombing, but that doesn't make Israel an innocent lamb. Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper) published that the Israeli government speant approximately 10 billion dollars since 1967 for settlements in the OTs. The suicide bombings should stop now, but so should settlement building. The Israelis are basically demanding we should take the enormous risk of causing another Black September, at the very least they should stop contributing to the 2nd biggest hurdle towards reconciliation.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2003 There's a HUGE moral difference between specifically targeting a blowing up innocent children and then blowing up innocent rescue workers, and sending tanks in to cease those responsible and being met with resistance and unintentially harming some innocents. No comparison. As I see it, terrorism, bombers, etc is just as good as troops in uniform when a country's flat broke and can't afford tanks, helicopters, etc. So don't even go there. By the same token though, I do consider attacks by these so-called fringe extremists to be just as much an act of war as if fantasy Palestine soldiers fired rocket-propelled grenades into the nightclub/weddinghall/market/whatever. What this leaves is the Palestinan's intentionally doing this to innocents, and yes I find that pretty revolting. Some (not all) Israeli responses though can best be described as shooting at a bee with a shotgun and the general "Oh, yeah. Uh.. Oops." attitude towards the civilians they put at risk makes what they're doing as dangerous to Palestinian civilians as the bombers are to Israelis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorin Industries 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2003 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_ea...ast/3166388.stm I have to say i'm surprised, I didn't think Israel would hit a target outside their own borders. I know they have done it in the past, but the situation in the Middle East is already problematic enough without this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2003 There'll be no peace between Israel and the Palestinians until Arafat, Sharon and those like them are removed from power. Stopping the attacks would be a good start as well. And critisizing Israel doesn't make me an antisemitic Nazi. Israel is a Jewish state, it is not Judaism.

Stopping the attacks would be a good start as well. There will never be peace, just an uneasy truce and, maybe long after we're all dead, some reconcilliation.
