Quote by: bishop 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. |
Resistance to oppression doesn't have to be about advancing one's cause. Because a cause is hopeless, should victims be expected to sit back and allow the inevitable to happen? Just how, in your opinion, should the Palestinians resist the continuing expansion of Israeli settlements? By political means?? Israel is already in violation of numerous UN resolutions, and in addition has the unconditional backing of the U.S., in politics as well as money and military support. We even want to define their limited abilities to defend their territory as terrorism. Israel has an overwhelming advantage in every area, political, military, and economic. Is it really surprising that "they want all israelis to die, period"??
Am I defending Palestinian terrorists? Hardly. I'm just trying to make the point that we can't solve this problem until we are fair about looking at it with respect to both sides of the issue.
