I cannot agree with U more mfscrewu. IT is justified to bomb
children and women whoa re defenseless and at home as long as U are
doing it under the Israeli mandate. In fact as long as U are under
that and US supports U...even the UN can be refused a chance to
probe the issue in Jenin. I love this....Everything is sooooo fair
here.
Your notion of every israelis is a legitimate military target is
absolutely wrong. Have it ever occurred to you that some of the
victims are new immigrants and some of them have not even served
their national service? How would the world react if Israel start
to classify every palestine as terrorist?
Have it ever occur to U that these palestines have no place
called home and they are trying to find some or believe in some
happiness when they shift to Jenin or West Bank or Hebron? Choose
to believe it or not...as long as U are palestine, the Israeli's
will view U with a different eye, there is no need to classified.
And of course based on your line of argument, it is equally correct
to drop bombs on a people, who don;t even have a airforce to being
with, and hence killing children and women...very justified
indeed.
Humiliation...maybe. But maybe you should examine the real cause of
this instead of blaming everything on the israelis? If the
palestine have every right to their country, why is it that the
arabs does not want the state of israel to exist at all. It was the
reluctance of the arab world to make peace with Israel that causes
all these.

The Arabs are more than willing in the past and even more so
now...{i.e. Saudi Arabia willing to give diplomatic recognition} it
is just as Shotgun said...they have develop land to such an extend
that they do not wih to give it up without a fight...that will be
more correct. In such cases, it will be left to the drawing board
to solve such issues.
Just as you said that these militant palestine stood up against
invaders. Israeli soldiers are doing their job of protecting their
home from being bombed by these brain washed
murderers.
And Palestines doing the role of protecting their families
against government sanctioned killing of whom unfortuately for the
soldiers in IDF, they receive the beating end...while Sharon
admires his prized trophies one by one.
How would you like it, if soldiers go into a cafe in palestine and
packed loads of C4 and then set it off while people are inside and
then proclaimed that it is done in the name of protecting their
homeland?

How would U like it then when U are playing with your children in
one moment and suddenly a bomb turns them into toast in the
other?
These palestines, those who are not terrorists, too are trying to
protect themselves and their family from harm's way. And given any
advantage that can save their communities lives even by one day,
they would do it. There is no such thing as honour in a war. No
matter how hard the top brass would claim or try to enforce it,
there will be instance of black sheep floating around. And No
Frill, even U will uphold your honour when fighting such a war, it
does not gurantee that the rest of your cohort will expecially when
placed in an extremely unnatural situation like war. War games in
OCS and unit does not count.
