If one wanta a Israeli point of view, Apolyton OT is one of the fastest and easiest way to get it. No matter if you like it or not.


Btw, there is no such thing as a Gospel truth as the Gospel is a fairytale. Do you believe everything the Bible says?

The whole concept behind this thread is too simplistic.

After all, would a radical left-wing rag bother to put something in writing if it weren't true?

I generally trust the news I read when I see it reported ( in the same form ) from several news outlets, especially when I know that each has their own political slant yet the story remains the same.

BBC is pretty good for trustworthy news though, no big multi-billionare inflicting their views on the editor and so forth down the chain.

I would like to point out that some of these palestinians were terrorists. In fact, I'd wager that a substantial amount were.

Thirty thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israel since 1948. How many of them were terrorists?

BTW, in the other thread on Rachael's killing, the source is Ha'aretz, which is an Israeli source.

I'd call being in front of a moving bulldozer being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So you're saying, "It's not the Palestinian's fault they killed Americans, they were only trying to kill Israelis."

By your logic, so is being in the presence of a bomb. In fact, buses, restaurants, and other crowded places are favourite targets of suicide bombers.

Maybe they didn't expect a bomb there, but then again, Rachel Corrie didn't expect the bulldozer to run over her.

I'm confused-whose territory are they occupying? Palestinians don't have a state yet, so it can't be them, and afaik Egypt and Jordan aren't claiming ownership of territories.

You asked other people to check facts, so should you. West Bank and Gaza Strip are called Occupied Territory because those places do not belong to Israel, they belong to a Palestinian state.

Then she was very, very stupid. Anyone with sense in their head and an understanding of motor vehicles will realize that if you are in front of a moving bulldozer moving in your direction, you can get hit.

When it's moving at like 5kph, and she was wearing red with a megaphone in her hand? You have to be blind and deaf and stupid not to notice.

Assuming she could be seen, was holding a megaphone and wasn't lying on the ground... (And I thought it was 15kph)

Either way, standing in front of a bulldozer is a stupid thing to do.
