<< i guess by this reasoning the guys in the alamo were cowards too eh?
they had to hide in a fort, couldnt come out and fight like real men. <sarcasm>

what is part of the reason we consider the people at the alamo to be heroes? they were outmanned and outgunned
and they didnt surrender to the mexicans when im sure they could have.

i dont consider these palestinians to be heroes, but you can't call taking shelter as being an act of cowardice. it would be incredibly stupid of them just to come running out against tanks or whatever else israel has there.

now i'm not sure why arafat has told them no negotiations. didn't they just negotiate the release?/arrest of a couple hundred palestinian police about a week ago.

Don't expect a response from Dawn. He only did this to get me riled up. Any real debate about this subject he will run as he has already proven.

<< Do you really believe these Palestinian gunmen were looking for help and not a shield to protect themselves by going into a holy place the Israelies would not enter?

If they truely wanted help they would have laid down their arms when they entered.

also throughout history churches have been shelters

Shelters ok. But active churches are not forts.

They are huh?

The occupying Force=the Mexican Army=the Israeli Army.

The out Numbered Insurgents= The Texans=the Palestineans.

There are difference too, I never said the situation was exactly the same. If you can't see the similarities then it's becuase you refuse too.

And I gave you reasons its not.

#1 The Texans never targeted Mexican civilians.
#2 The Texans never called for the killing of all Mexicans.
#3 The Texans never took refuge in an active holy site using clergy as human shields
#4 The Texans never claimed religious teachings as their means for independence

Try adressing them before running away again.

And you are also a Liar too. Hey Tex, if I did something that cowardly I wouldn't want to admit to it either.

No proof as usual. Just a impotent old man who thinks lying can fill the tired void thats his life. :)

Of course not. I have never threatened anyone here PM or not with physical harm.

I've seen MANY people here do it in a thread in the heat of the moment ie. "if you were here I'd kick your ass" but never me.

Dawn just has a grudge with me because I make him accoutable for his words.

I don't dispute any of that. I never said they had they same reasons or used the same methods. I'm also don't see them being sympathetic where as the Texans were Heroic. But in the eyes of their fellow Palestineans they are everything the Texans are to us.

In this case it is an act of cowardice. They are hiding out in one of christianity's holiest sites know that the Israeli can't attack it. To destroy it would piss off a lot of people. Also read up on what is considered a 'war crime'. Destruction of historical/religious sites is included.

Then why did it take you so long to respond to it. Three people asked the same questions while you ran away responding only to flames.

Only if the Female Member wants to speak up. Of course then she'd face the ire of Tex and his bastard friends. She has since blocked him PM's so she will not have to deal with his crap and his threats.

I think it's customary to not wield firearms in a sanctuary, Czar. These men are not seeking safe haven, they are hoping the Israelis will assault the church, for the benefit of people like you.

Now why would Czar benefit for this and why would the Palestineans even care what czar thinks?

Uh huh, yeah, whatever. Just like you lied about JohnnyReb's pm in the "Real Men" thread.

Maybe. or it might be because there aren't any.


<< . But in the eyes of their fellow Palestineans they are everything the Texans are to us. >>


I would certainly agree with that. It doesn't make me any more sympathetic to the Palestinian's cause though. Nor to the Israeli's. Not being there and not having to live through what they do, I think it would be very hypocritical of me to pick a side.

<<

<< The Israelis indeed should get out of Bethlehem and the other Palestinian areas. They dont wanna be there either. There just this little thing, that people are blowing themselves up in Israeli supermarkets.
But I'm sure you support the suicide bombings.
>>

Irrelevant. Everyone in the whole world wants Israel out, including the US. The EU is likely to impose sanctions against Israel, the first time ever. Israel is really isolated in the international community. Why? Because the whole world all the sudden turned anti-semitic? Or because Israelis are no less barbaric than the suicide bombers?
>>


Ok...how is it irrelevant?

If people are blowing themselves up around your civilians, what would you do?
