Why not? It's Egypt. They have nothing against the Jews. Thousands of westerns go to Egypt every year with no problems.

Uh, its usually Kerry who exploits deaths abroad for political gain

Kerry doesn't exploit death. He points out the cost of the war. People need to know this to know how much Bush screwed up. Kerry is helping the country.

So collective punishment against Israel is wrong but collective punishment against Egypt is cool? It's your kind of vengeful thinking that creates the cycles of violence. Anyway I guess this is where you shriek troll... :roll:
Actually, I won't shreik troll because this is one of the few times you haven't trolled and actually addressed the post.

The "collective punishment" I was speaking of was economic, not strapping a bomb to their chests like your jihadi heros do.

You have no proof any egyptian was even behind the attacks. It was very likely it was either a Saudi or a Palestinian. Egypt is one of the few in the region who actually have open communications with Israel. Other countries preach Israeli's death.
 
Honestly, who's the troll? My jihadi heros?
I dunno, you tell me, are they your heros? Are you a fluffer? Are you a peter puffer? Just questions, Infocawk. Those aren't trolls by your definition.

So you think economic collective punishment is okay?
Sure do.

So it's okay with you if people boycott Israel?
Sure is.

If you didn't have any economic might, how would you retaliate?
Guess you better listen to what the collective punishers are saying.

Heck, the US is the most economically powerful country in the world but it wasn't good enough for Iraq. Why can't Muslims use violence like Irael and the US does?
They can, and they do. Difference is, they are cowards and only attack civilians.

Egypt is Israel's enemy just like every Arab country. Even though Egypt doesnt support anti Israel activity openly, behind doors its working to weaken it. If you read some intelligence news or listen to experts on this topic, A LOT of weapons are smuggled from Egypt to Israel thru underground tunnels.

Muslims in Iraq are attacking US soldiers right now. Muslims have waged several wars on Israel. How is it they only attack civilians?

Just like Mexicans are smuggled into the U.S every day. Does this mean Mexico is behind it? Egypt has banned the extremist from gaining power. They do not recognize the extremist muslim party of Egypt as a legit party because of their extreme views. Please try again.

these terrorist muslims are capturing innocent civilians and chopping off heads. they are beheading 50 year old men. have u seen the 12 nepalese young men who were butchered by these muslims? sure these muslim terrorists are only attacking soldiers, sure

most of the deaths the israelis suffer are civilians going about their normal lives.

and lets not forget 3000 innocents were murdered in a few minutes on 9/11.

Very brave terrorists, indeed. very brave
 
Pay attention raildogg. Nobody said they didn't attack civilians. I was refuting alchemize's statement that they ONLY attack civilians.

And if you don't think the US government has attacked civilians I suggest you look into our treatment of the American Indian. 😉 I guess we're cowards too?

You make no valid points except the ones that point in the direction of hate. So the Palestinians who have died have all been non-civilian? Actually the majority of them have been civilian just like the Israelis.

Palestinians have no soldiers, so I guess every Palestinian death is a civilian, including the terrorists. Dont forget that the terrorists live amongst the innocents on purpose

Very true. The MFO camps at el Gorah and Sharm el Sheikh, plus the smaller OPs, were all built by Israelis. Israeli tourists began flocking to the area in greater numbers, particularly in Corridor C, a few years after the full handover in early 1982.

children dying are terrorist now? they live amongest them on purpose? When someone enters your town with a tank I think you will be surrounded by the innocents. Keep trying...
 
The Palestinian terrorists have one objective - to kill as many Jews as they can, whether they be children, seniors or soldiers

The Israeli forces tries to limit civilian loss of life, but as crowded as the Palestinian areas are, its almost impossible. The terrorists must be hunted down, even if it means that some innocent people die

yes I get your point. Muslims are terrorist. All of them. Sorry to break it to you but there are 1.2 billion muslims in the world. There are 8 million in the U.S and plenty more in Canada. Europe will be 50% Muslim by some calculations by 2080. Does this mean the world is going to end?

9/11 happend as a result of Saudi citizens from Saudi Arabia. A country with a few million people. Not even 1/3 of the Muslim population. I see no direct link with them and Egypt. You have no idea what you are talking about because you are full of hate. Egypt has nothing to do with terror and never had a direct link with any terrorist. The U.S sends billions of dollars a year to Egypt and plenty of westerns flock to Egypt daily. If Egypt believed in the same principles that Saudi Arabia/Palestine believed in then they would recognize the extremist political party. They do not even give them permission to elect a leader to run for office.

300,000 Israeli citizens also felt it was safe to go into Egypt because they are not against the Jews. Sadly some teror organization ruined their weekend. The Israelis will return to Egypt and Egypt will aid Israel to the full extent they can.

What the hell does this have to do with the situation in Egypt and the general Muslim population? Do you even know that most of the Muslims in the world look down at Palestine? It is a Sh&thole and they get no respect from anyone. If they got respect other countries around them would do something, but nobody cares.
