I wonder why that might be. Maybe it's because when fate handed them a shitty fortune, they decided to try and make the best of it despite their misfortunes instead of just feeling sorry for themselves and projecting their frustrations onto others in the form of violence. Is that too much to ask from the Palestinians? I don't think so. I'll start caring about Palestinians problems when they start acting mature and/or responsible.
To me its unconscionable why people keep making excuses for the Palestinians behavior. The fact of the matter is that it's no way to behave under any circumstances - period. It doesn't matter how oppressed they are. For fuck sake, there have been thousands of peoples in the history of the world who have suffered more brutal oppression than the Palestinians and yet who had the moral fiber not to resort to terrorism. Frankly, I believe anyone who sympathizes with the Palestinians is part of the problem because they're encouraging this sort of behavior which ought not to be encouraged.
Furthermore, a preponderance of individuals, many of whom normally seem to be rational and intelligent people, have the audacity to compare Palestinian terrorism to Israeli military activity against the Palestinians as equal evils. This is so preposterous, so utterly ludicrous, that it makes me want to reclassify myself as a different species to dissociate myself from anyone or anything that could possibly have conceived this notion. Let me draw this out in crayon for anyone who may not follow: the sole and exclusive cause of Israeli military exercises against the Palestinians is the terrorism of the Palestinians. That is to say, Israel's military activity against Palestinians is one of the negative effects of Palestinian terrorism. It is the Palestinians themselves whose actions are producing this result.
Do I think Israeli military actions which result in the death of Palestinian civilians are a good thing? No, of course not. But Israel is under constant attack. What do you expect them to do, respond with charity? If someone came up to you on the street, and started punching you in the face, would you give them your wallet, or would you fight back? If you give them your wallet, you become part of the problem by providing positive feedback to their undesirable activity. A reasonable person my not particuarly want to hurt the person who is assaulting him, but presented by such a situation, he really has no choice.
So I ask you, sir, what planet are you from? Because it appears to me it is one where good and evil have undergone some form of juxtaposition. You compare Sharon to Hitler, but last time I checked, there weren't many Jews strapping bombs to their backs in early 20th century Germany. You cry about the horrible fate of the Palestinians, but yet you can't be bothered to give a second thought to the horrible precedent that is already being set by negotiating with terrorists. Don't you see how many people will die in the future because of your legitimization of terrorism as a means for obtaining political redress? Where is your sympathy for them and their loved ones?
If the Palestinians want justice, I don't have a problem with it. But they have to choose a different way to express their frustrations than terrorism first. If you want to be treated in a civil manner, you ought to behave in such a manner yourself. Otherwise, you're nothing more than a hypocrite.

Why do the Mods have to ban shlomo_hamalech... you may have different opinions than he does, but that doesn't make his any less relevant than yours.
How do you know he has nothing to do with trance -- have you asked him? How do you know its not dj Yahel, and he's just using a cover to get his opinions out without people hating on him as a dj.

Just did a quick search on yahoo and couldn't find any sources on these incidents. Can you please post a link to sources that covered this story? Appreciated!

You can’t say "if the Jews...” Prime Minister Sharon doesn't represent Judaism or every Jew for that matter! Provide all the quotes you want, what he wants is obviously not what he's going to get. I'll provide you with countless cases of other leaders wanting a lot more than they actually got!
| quote: | | However you cant just come out and do it because this might offend america so you come up with the scam of collective punishment. How does destroying palestinian farms, smashing up palestinian markets, depriving palestinians of basic water rights act as a deterent to terrorism. |
When a neighbourhood collectively acts violently and straight out deadly, than that neighbourhood will collectively get punished until they find out who the specific person(s) was who committed the crimes.
What else can they do... they cant kill them because than they get shitted on -- they cant imprison everyone because it just isn't a pliable action to take -- don’t you think if they try other means of stopping them, it might actually make them think that they should try other methods of having their 'cause' heard. Once again, Arbiter couldn't have said it better.

You study psychology and economics, you also have some knowledge of law believe, so who in your opinion should make the first step towards proving they could be worthy of trust? Do you know the history of negotiations between the two sides? Also please add what that first step should be! Appreciated!
Can’t wait to hit up blue in a few hours... fresh snowfall... Mmmm, the hills are gonna be sweet!!!!
