slave owners were in charge of the United States, do you think all that Racist thinking that helped make the USA exactly the way they wanted it is all gone from their minds and hearts?Next you might actually post something worth reading. OR READ what others post..
Do you think all the Terrorist thinking that helped make Israel exactly the way they wanted it is all gone from their minds and hearts?
The man who planned the murder of the UN Peacekeeper was in charge of Israel for near 10yrs, right?
You are aware that two leaders of prominent terrorist groups (including the group behind Bernadotte's assassination) went on to be Prime Ministers of Israel, right? They were:
1. Menachim Begin, leader of Irgun when they committed the King David Hotel bombing in 1946, was the 6th Prime Minister of Israel, serving in that post from 1977 to 1983.
2. Yitzhak Shamir, as part of Lehi's leading triumvirate, authorized Folke Bernodotte's assassination. He went on to be Israel's next Prime Minister, serving from 1983 to 1984 and then again from 1986 to 1992.
Everyone conveniently forgets or ignores this when they lambaste Palestinians for electing members of Hamas.
Another troll thread by our resident Palestinian.
No, I believe they like all such groups see the people as pawns to use in furthering their own goals; and that their goals involve their own continued power and influence. After all, if everyone suddenly lived together in peace and harmony, what need would there be for such groups at all?
And so I think the Palestinians were misguided in believing that they would well represent their interests.
OK, now your turn...
- Do you consider Begin, Shamir, Irgun, Lehi, and other such groups and their members terrorists?
- Do you acknowledge that their acts of terrorism were every bit as wrong as those committed by Arab/Islamic terrorists?
- And do you consider it wrong to have elected the two of them, along with Ariel Sharon (who had been found indirectly responsible, by the Kahan Commission, for the atrocities in Sabra and Shatila and forced to step down as Defense Minister) as Prime Ministers; that their elections were just as injurious to peace efforts as electing Hamas members was?
