Israel is a terrorist state and so is its adopted Big Daddy but I believe those outrages will only continue as long as the Big Daddy keeps bullying everyone around. When the Big Daddy goes down (a good soul nukes it a few times or it perishes through some other kind of calamity), its adopted terrorist child in the Middle East will be abandoned, given up for adoption and may become forced to change its bad, bad, bad behaviour. |

This guy was scum. The point here is to cripple Hamas so they can't wrest control of the Gaza strip from Arafat's government when the IDF pulls out, in accordance with Sharon's 'disengagement plan'. Oh, and they might be able to blow up less Israelis too. |

Oh, and they might be able to blow up less Israelis too. The first guy they blew up was an old gentleman, I don't remember what was his name, who moved around in a wheelchair, he could not have possibly planted any bombs anywhere. He was guilty (without being convicted in any court of law) of speech crimes. He was murdered for things he preached or spoke. This kind of approach asks for total holocaust of American and British media personalities. Besides, it's very easy to kill people in an urban area from helicopters. Bystanders were killed. This sort of behaviour is not nice. |

This sort of behaviour is not nice. Yes, and Osama doesn't plant any bombs either. Bottom line, you're right that's it not nice - but then, the Middle East isn't a nice place.  |

This sort of behaviour is not nice. The person you are referring to was the paraplegic spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. In my view, there is little difference in the actions of the Israeli IDF and the Palestinian freedom fighters. There is no justifying civilian casualty and collateral damage is a very insensitive term, especially when one of those killed is an elderly person, a woman or a child. If the Israeli government believes that killing members of the Palestinian leadership, such as Yasser Arafat is legitimate, then they should also realise that it would also be legitimate for the Palestinians to target the leadership of Israel. I was thinking of starting a thread about the future of Palestine/Israel & resolution of their problems. It would be interesting to hear everyone's views on this matter. There are some very intelligent people on this forum. |

I will lock the thread if it starts to get out of hand. Serious, intelligent discussion would be appreciated though. I have posted the thread under the Futurism subsection of this forum. |
