The arrest of Moh'd Saleh, a Plastinian aged 23

[notyoueither]

No, the whole thing has been a redirect from my real point...

That is, if you tolerate terrorism directed at civilians in Tel Aviv then it is only a matter of time before it comes to Cairo, and Delhi, and London, and Tokyo, and New York, and Stockholm eventually.

Which is a redirect from the fact that Israeli troops don't care for human life and would rather kill Palestinians that arrest them.

And, as for your answer... one of the only responses to brutal colonial occupation and oppression.

[notyoueither]

Let me put that in bold contrat you sad sack of ****.

'how do we get to blowing up children as being justified?'

"one of the only responses to brutal colonial occupation and oppression"

I'm done with you buddy. Rot in your own swill.

[Imran Siddiqui]

People know that I don't necessarily care that others find my support of Palestinian actions to be repulsive. You simply look at the world as a nice place. Sorry to explode your idealistic, wide-eyed, rose colored look at the world, but it ain't all nice.

Of course it is ironic that this repulsion comes from a Westerner... who's culture have used terrorism many times in past, and not just under colonial occupation (though the US did).

What are you actually opposed to, killing of civilians?! Like no one else has ever done it (and justified it).

Then why almost 5000 Palestinians were arrested during Defensive Shield? And only ~200 were killed, most of them in battles?

on a side note , you really shouldn't compare Israeli soldiers with Eli. after all , he will never become one.

sorry eli, this troll was too good to be wasted.

Sate vs. Lands, mate. Palestinians occupied some 70% of what is today Israel and the Occupied territories under British "protection". They rejected the most ridicuous partition plan ever that would have given them 30% of the least arable lands, wheupon the Zionists decided that they would enforce it anyway, took power and drove the Palestinians out.

It was 40%, and they were some of the most arable. The Israelis were the ones saddled with the Negev desert.

[Az]

actually, to be extremely correct, the partition plan was 55% to the jews , and 45% to the arabs, with jerusalem a small portion that I didn't include in the percentage.

The jews got the negev desert , wich around half of the territory of western palestine.

check your data.

I was told the UN plan had the Jews in favour, with more arable land and such... now this is a little confusing...

[Natan]

The Arabs got the western Galilee, which is quite arable, the Galilee region has more rainfall than most of the rest of the country. They also got the West Bank and lands around it, which have been the population center for the whole country since biblical times, and which still holds half the Palestinian population west of the Jordan river. It's quite arable, just ask Arafat about the olive groves, or the settlers who all have rather nice gardens.

It really disturbs me when I see people posting about the 'evil' police. I'd like to point out - They're people too! Wow, what a concept. They're not just these weird human looking things that are policemen. They really are humans. They probably don't enjoy killing in most cases. They also fear for their life at times. Now, why do you insist on having the distinction between police and everyone else? They're human just like you.

[Felch]

Will do, Natan. As soon as Imran's heroic freedom fighters cease and desist targeting passive civilians who are passing through.

Imran, the key difference between Israel and Palestine is whether or not they target civilians. However, since you have a knee-jerk reaction that tells you "Israel bad, Palestinian good," I won't waste the time or effort to try and explain it to you. To be quite honest, nobody should consider gunmen storming into homes and spraying them with automatic weapons fire to be acceptable, and then criticize the Israelis for shooting a suicide bomber that was trying to set off an explosive vest.

I am personally amazed at how much crap the pro-Israelis on this forum take. You all have been really good sports putting up with the pro-terrorists.

It is very interesting that selectively posting only some, but not all, of a series of pictures of an event can transform an act of heroism into and act of murder. No wonder the Arab world is inflamed.

Ned

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

It certainly is. Then again, maybe it wasn't an act of heroism either.

We'll probably never know. I think I've stopped taking anything on the subject as face value, at any rate.

[Ned]

Bugs, It would be interesting for folks on the Internet to see the propaganda published by the Allies against the Germans in both WWI and WWII. I saw one "patriotic" USSR movie that showed invading German troops throwing babies into bonfires.
