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

Look I'm not saying Israel is blowing up Palestinian tanks, no it is blowing up Palestinian terrorists, but this is simply a war where such 'blowing upness' is acceptable.
I am trying to understand why you believe Israel IS sponsoring terrorism?
Even assuming all you read about the Israeli army in the Palestinian areas is true, do you ever read that it is their policy to terrorize the Palestinian populace as their primary objective into goating them into a political settlement?
Israeli policy is focused under one pinnicale principle and that is Security to the Israeli people, which BTW is according to modern philosophical thought of our day the most important funciton of government and its original motive of being.

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...
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?

Well I don't call this "TERRORISM"... OH NO 4 ISRAELI SOLDIERS PUT POO ON POOR 5 YEAR OLD DRAWING'S! TERROR TERROR!! AHH THE INHUMANITY!
Damn if that is terrorism for you, then I really wish there were Palestinian terrorists, I would accept Palestinian rubbing poo on drawings of elementry school as opposed to blowing up buses and killing people.
No what I call this is the realities of war, you will get some soldiers who are tense and are embittered and will do some unlikely things. At least I can say they pooed on drawings and didn't strap dynamite to them and ran into a Palestinian mall (if such a thing exists). However this is in no way reflective of Israeli policy or intentions, most likely since those solders where caught on tape doing an act like that they will be court marshalled. The Israeli army does not tolerate things like that.. neither do I. I don't tolerate such things, but I do understand them, and I do understand as bad as HORRIBLE as it may be, smearing poo on child artwork it is not terrorism. And no, smearing poo is not against the Rules of War either.. there is no mention of it in the Geneva Convetion at all.
