<< Those are some of the most stupid racist statements I've read. How do you think people would react if someone said the same about some other ethnic group?? Insidious, you redefine the boundries of stupidity.
The bloodshed in that region is indeed saddening, and I don't see any realistic chance for peace anytime soon. Still, I can't say I blame the Palestinians any more than I blame the Israeli's... they just do it in different ways, but they both end up killing innocent civilians. Of course, I can't blame the Israelis for taking a hard line either, they have good reason to be wary of the people around them. What they don't realize is that the more 'pressure' and restrictions they put on the Palistinian people, the easier it becomes for the extremist elements in that territory to recruit new members for more violence.... sigh. >>
Israel stopped responding almost a week ago. Pick up a paper.
Second, if they are so much alike name ONE just ONE Israelie who tied bombs to his chest and intentionally went into a large CIVILIAN population with the only intention of killing as many Palestinians as possible.
I challenge you to find me that.
You are right thought they do it differently. Isralies target the people responsible for terrorist attacks. Palestinians target 9 year old little girl birthday parties and Passover celebrations. >>
Do note that Israel attacked several refugee camps during the night, and that kids died during those raids.
Both sides have leaders which do not want peace are are just looking for a reason to continu the war. This bombing will give Sharon a reason to launch several counter attacks and raids again, in which several Palestinians will die. The families of those people will cry out for revenge, and may actually become so angry and desperate again that one or more new suicide bombers are born, thus completing the circle.
Neither side wants peace, and until one side will not only put down the weapons but keep them down, no peace will be possible. And neither side wants to be the first to put down their weapons, as the other side will want to have the last strike.
