Ahhhh, so it isn't terrorism... I was mistaken, I am wrong...
Could you please enlighten me then Izzy? What would you call blowing up a civilian hotel that contained the British Military Command and Criminal Investigation Division?

�blowing up a military installation... how revolutionary, surely no one thought of this in WW2 or WW1�

Your sardonic statement implies that this was not a terrorist act, that the King David Hotel was a strategic military target. Is that right? So anyone here can logically extrapolate from your argument that neutralizing a Hotel in World War 2 that contains the British Military (or perhaps any of the Allied forces) is righteous and purely strategical?

Let me recapitulate that which i neglected in the first of my posts on this thread.

ANYONE under certain circumstances will cause these terrorist acts, Arab DNA does not contain the terrorist gene.

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_terrorism

Terrorism is purely subjective to perception

I apologise for letting passion get in the way with reason, i will try to remain apolitical from now on, but i will still punish ignorance, stupidity and propaganda from both perspectives of this Israel / Pallestine debate

any hotel that contains the british military command is by no means civilian.

i am not dening that jews have committed acts of terrorism.

however that was the past. if you are going to tell me that, today, israel as country intentionaly kills innocent people then you are going to be barking up the wrong tree. for this reason israel can not be equated with the terrorism that the palestinians inflict at this point, not to mention that before abu mazen it was sponsored by the authority (ala arafat)

edit: in regard to izzy' post

You have missed (or ignored) the captious premise in my second post. Think of psychology

State sponsored / conventional, the only difference is that one has a bigger budget. The perpetrators both perceive they are in the right. This applies to every nation - every race.

And i agree with you that we should not bring up past events ( although at the time I needed an extreme example to appease that simpleton Viber ) the past should not hold any jurisdiction over our future.

Biology Lesson: Genetic differences within races are greater than that between races.

None of us are any different, we all think the same, our minds are shaped through our personal history, our ethical stance and perspective is entirely circumstantial. Our morals represents the sociocultural background that we grew up in, subtle indoctrination from parental figures, friends, and teachers, who have in turn received there hereditary cognitive idiosyncrasies from the previous generation. (although there are always exceptions)

i use a different definition
terrorism = the intential targeting of innocent civilians by a person or an organized group for a political purpose.

by your definition israel is basicly in the clear. you said unlawful, firstly by who's law? secondly if you had a suicide bomber in your country from an outside orginization let alone a authority country that alone would be considered an act of war, and therefore you sould be able to fight (or terrorize) back. thirdly, i have never heard of any war in the world that is not included in terrorism. in ever war property and people are theartened by use of force or violence. in fact almost every country in the world has threated the use of force in their history everyone from the US, Germany, Vietnam to Cameroon. are you going to say that every country has state terrorism? the official definition is to broad, use mine instead

Oh great! Let's blur the line even further, as if terrorism was not a broad enough term to begin with we have to add 'state sponsored' terrorism to the loop.

Look VIOLENCE = TERRORISM according to the dumb definition.. after all every act of violence scares someone. Therefore WAR = TERRORISM, and me saying I will come over to your house and hang you = TERRORISM.

However these are not what we have grown to understand as terrorism. Terrorism is the act of intentionally applying violence to achieve fear in a populace for political or ideological goals.

States that sponsor terrorism means states, i.e. nations or countries, that give money or aid to groups that commit these acts as their prime endevaour.

Nah but lets stick to semantics and what the dicitonary says so I change the meaning of everything so it makes me look clever. Come on, we all know what terrorism is. A tank blowing up another tank is not terrorism (even though it surely terrorize the crew of the tank that blew up), a suicide bomber exploding himself among civilians in a mall is. Why switch it around?

Read the post again Izzy, come on, you can do it! You are a big boy now!

Why should i address your posts, when you have both clearly ignored 80% of mine?

Ahh, so it isn't Israeli state sponsored terrorism? Because the Israeli armies tanks are blowing up the Palestinian's tanks.....

There was an interesting documentary on the other night, four people in the Israeli army held the arms and legs of an unarmed Palestinian as a 5th picked up a large rock, and began shattering his arms and legs. This was caught on camera...

The camera crew then proceeded to a Palestinian primary school, the Israeli army had been there the day before, apparently they didn't like the kindergartens art. Have you seen what 4 - 6 year old Palestinians draw? Maybe a rudimentary picture of themselves holding hands with their family underneath a rainbow?

No, these are 4 - 6 year olds, drew battlefields, blood everywhere, kids getting slaughtered by tanks.. They deemed the kids art "anti-semitic" so they covered it with their faeces.
What would you call this? The rules of war?

Read my 4th post in this thread again, and apply it to these children.

Give me another half arsed answer and i'll reply to your questions in kind.

Izzy and Yoepus, when you were 6 years old what did you like to draw?

I saw the sam documentary.. it was pretty sad...i cant blame them for feeling hate towards Israel when all they see is death.
Nice post tahti!

Yet another suicide bombing.

One of the worst ones yet. Palestinian authorities should really start
taking control of their citizens if they want peace process to continue.


Posted by tathi on Aug-20-2003 06:26:

heh, that reminds me of something i heard on the radio several years ago

'The Israeli authority have bound Arafat's arms and legs, they have gagged him and tied him into a chair, they then threw him in the river and proclaimed "Look! Arafat can't swim! His not interested in peace!'

the quote isn't perfect, was along time ago but anyone with quasi-intelligence should be able to work out what it symbolises.

excellent posts tathi. it's nice that there are still people that can read between the lines and who aren't bought by the Israeli propaganda.
One thing that came up to my mind is that why does USA and the UN always blame the palestinian authorities when there is a new suicide bombing. Those bombings are made by small group of people that work in secret. How can you control every citizen in a country?
It's impossible. I read about israeli terrorist groups as weel and I doubt that the israeli goverement know their every step.
I.e. if they would blow up the Al Aqsa Mosque tomorrow the Israeli goverement wouldn't have a damn clue whats going on.

About this latest bombing. I heard that it was the Islamic Jihad who took responsibility for the bombing because Israeli soldiers killed one of their leaders last week eventhough there was as peace treaty.
So can someone explain what in the earth was Israel thinking?
"Let's have a peace treaty but meanwhile kill some of their top guys while it's calm".
The result is over 20 israelis dead. This could have been avoided.

Thanks for the support rebel9, I feel as if half of my posts are being ignored, are people that afraid of the facts? ;/

quote:

Censorship, propaganda and religion

I am also perplexed as to why they think that the Palestinian authority have complete control over the populace. It's funny when you see Arafat imprisoned in his headquarters for months at a time, armed with a mobile phone, only to have the Israeli authorities claim that his not doing enough to prevent this insurrection.

quote:
Blair arranged talks with leading Palestinians and other regional players in London but did not invite Israel to the meeting focused on Palestinian reforms. In response, Israel effectively scuppered the meeting by refusing to allow a Palestinian delegation to attend.

Even now the Israeli government is trying it's hardest to undermine the Palestinian authority.

Edit: Typo

I wonder.. If Israel will not start killing top Jihad officials who will? Or do you guys wanna let them be and plan other bombings?

The hypocrisy of that statement is astounding

Your post has zero credibility. You are way over your head.

Sharon is responsible for the deaths of more civilians than all of the top "Jihad officials" in Palestine

Go share your dumb opinion with some redneck talk back radio show and spare us all your pathetic invective.

Since we are talking about criminals that deserve to die without any court proceedings, maybe we should look at the criminal that runs Israel?

oh dear i thought Israel was a democratic country. so when you have a suspect you just go out there and kill him without caring if his wife or daughter is next to him? No trials nothing?
Every act got a followup act. its like a chain.
For once sake there was actually a peace treaty during some months. And meanwhile the israeli idiot regime kills some Jihadi leaders. And their members sworn that they would take revenge. So no i'm not very surprised. Nor should Israel be.

Yeah ?? And where does that come from? Show me some figures as to how many civilians(not terrorists or jihad officials) were killed due to Sharon's decisions?

Dude you are posting crap without even justifying it..

And that Angelfire link.. Please.. It was written by the likes of you who only show ONE side of the conflict.. Remember, there is always two sides to the conflict.

When terrorist holds hostage some people and promises to kill them if you don't give him a million dollars? What do you do ? Send police there to arrest him ? Give me a break. If Israel has arrested him, they would've released him during the the next peace truce (they just released 300 prisoners, remember)

well i wonder if mr Sharon the big fat cockhead can sleep now when he got 20 new lives on his conscience. i wonder if he thinks "if i hadn't killed that man they wouldn't have taken revenge"

And yes btw Israel released 300 but most of them were people which hadn't even had any trials. They were just arrested with no reason.
They were the one being released. There are thousands of other palestinians sitting in israeli jails. Do not forget.


Posted by Durafei on Aug-20-2003 13:32:

It's pointless to argue with you guys.. All I got from you is this:

1) Sharon is responsible for Suicide Bombings
2) Terrorists shouldn't be killed.


Nice philosophy.

I'm out of here.

I'm only showing one side of the conflict? Again with the hypocrisy Durafei, did you even read my earlier posts? Can you read?

I know for a fact that you will ignore any link i post, no matter how reliable the source is.

What happens when Sharon is no longer the "acting president" and then the global war crimes tribunal can trial him? Will you ignore it then?
