What a ridiculous statement. From their perspective, given their culture and education, they are simply defending themselves, the only way they know how. They have no other way to oppose Israeli tanks, helicopters, planes, missiles, and heavily armed troops.
hardly ridiculous.. at this point, is it not clear to you that palestinian terrorism has not advanced the palestinian cause in any way whatsoever? please, point out ONE positive accomplishment that they've made. it is one thing to attack IDF soldiers, and even renegade israeli settlers (who invite attacks in my view - and are legitimate targets) - it is something altogether different to go attacking buses filled with israelis as well as fellow arabs.

you mention their culture and education.. i don't know much about the culture, but my girlfriend's grandmother (who emigrated here from lebanon) doesn't have much good to say about arab culture. regarding education, did you mean to say brainwashing? cuz, really that's what they do in their "schools". i'll assume you know about palestinian textbooks and public media rather than spew out all those facts.

am i defending IDF actions or those of the settlers? hardly. they're just as bad as the terrorists in my view - because their actions merely serve to continue the bloodshed.

palestinian terrorists are more interested with bloodshed than opposing israeli tanks, helicopters, etc.. they want all israelis to die, period.
